Kamikaze

Hiya

I recently acquired a name from a friend who was leaving the game (hopefuly not permanently) It was a great name, that could spark several concepts and caracters.
The character's name is "Kamikaze"

I know that Kamikaze was the name given to a certain kind of pilot during a certain World War, but I'm leaning more towards the name's original meaning, "Divine Wind" which was used for a monsoon(or typhoon?) that protected the Japanese from invading Mongolians. However, she could be the granddaughter of a Kamikaze Pilot who died during a certain War.

But, that's where I've stopped.

I'm wondering if anyone would have any suggestions for her Powers. I'm leaning towards Storm Summoning. I'd love to hear what powers ands Archtype you think she should be and have. I'm open to any Powers or AT, Villain or Hero, she could be quite the Vigilante in the Future. I just want the perfect powers for the perfect character, nothing to weak or too undesirable in a team setting.

Thanks

If you want divine wind, I'd recommend Storm Summoning paired with either Energy Blast or Radiation Blast, with the blast set colored gold/white.

A Sonic Blast/Storm Corrupter or a Storm/Sonics defender would fit the bill. The Sonic attack could be seen as wind blown from your mouth, and you get two skills that are AoE cone knockbacks.

If I personally had the name, I would roll up a Dark armor Brute (or possibly a Tank), and create a stun bomb suicide build with Self Destruct and Soul Transfer.

Fire/Fire/Fire Blaster with Self Destruct and Rise of the Phoenix...

But for the "Divine Wave" concept you could go with a Storm/Energy Defender... Energy Blast is the closest to a Water (as opposed to Ice) based set and of course Storm is full of wind and rain powers.


Cascade, level 50 Blaster (NRG/NRG since before it was cool)
Mechmeister, level 50 Bots / Traps MM
FAR too many non-50 alts to name

Maybe use whirlwind as well.

This is probably too much of a cliche, but I recall watching a documentary about the Kamikaze pilots and being very taken by some footage that showed one of them taking his sword with him as he got into the plane. Apparently that was quite common.

So based on that I'd make a Katana/ Scrapper.

I've boughten all available "Booster Packs" and costume parts possible, including the Cape of Four Winds, which I'm planning on using.

Edit: Ahh lol. I get it, the Self Destruct Power! :P I don't catch on quickly sometimes :/

So, after talking to my friend, I decided to go Fire Control/ Storm Summoning, and eventaully Psionic Mastery for the Psionic Tornado power (for two Torandoes) opefully I'll be able to recolor the Psionic Tornado in the near future. The Planes blew up, so the fire could be the combustion, and I'll of course be taking Fly. I wanted the secondary to be Storm Summoning, so that I could have an excuse for using a gold colored Gale.

Here's a Picture of her Temporary Level 1 Costume, I'm not sure if I'll keep this look, but Face 17 is staying

"During a certain world war..."

That would be World War II, the big one, as Archie Bunker used to say.

Japan was not a participant in WWI.

They did that because they would stab themselves as they were diving toward their target, before impact. It was meant to ensure their death in the event that they missed their target. When you went on a kamikaze mission, it was guaranteed you weren't coming back. If you did survive and returned it was considered to be dishonorable. It was common for kamikaze pilots to write a letter themselves informing their family of their death.

My inner history nerd says, "wat."


Having Vengeance and Fallout slotted for recharge means never having to say you're sorry.
