What AT and powersets for this character?

Hey all! I have a problem, I wanted a new character and I have the costume and concept ready, she's a somewhat... confused super-powered girl on an endless quest to find her grandmother's house while trying to avoid getting eaten on the way

But... what will she actually be in the game? Like, what AT and what powersets? What do you guys think would fit?

I'm thinking you need a little bit more story to her than that if you want to narrow it down some, because right now you can close your eyes, pick an AT and powersets at random and it will fit the character. And I'm not saying that to criticise - without some form of limit, no decision can be meaningful.

You can go the psychic route, such a Praetorian Penny Yin does, where this character interprets the much more complex real world as a fairy tale, whose psychic powers end up making the fairy tale real. That could go any number of ways, such as Mind Control or Psychic Blast or even a something/Pain Mastermind.

Or you could take the Hoodwinked approach, where Little Red is actually a capable, tough individual whose trip to her grandma entails more than the simple fairy tale would suggest, involving crime, conspiracy and possibly aliens. For this, practically any weapon-based set in any AT will do, as will most acrobatic sets like Martial Arts, Kinetic Melee and so forth.

Or you can go with the concept of a literal displaced fairy tale character who was somehow pulled out of the book and transported into our world through some form of reality warp. This could then fit one of the few "reality warping" powersets like the various Dark ones, Gravity Control and such. It depends on which way you want reality to warp.

Or you can think of something else entirely that I can't really glean at this time. My point is that you need to have more to the character for the powersets to be based off of. Otherwise, just pick any at random and no-one will question your decision.

I think she needs to eat a sandwich or something.


I'd make her titan weapons, with the Garage Brand one.

She can pull it out of her Mary Poppins-style picnic basket.

Battle axe brute, clearly.

If you could make a shield look like a picnic basket, I would say shield for the secondary. I still might. Otherwise, Willpower for pep and youthful determination.

Edit: and as eth-nargy said, titan weapons could be fun. Use the axe and do tw/wp. I still prefer baxe/sh or baxe/wp, but you cant go wrong with the new shiney and a 7' long axe. So graceful!

The tribal shield might slightly resemble a picnic basket if you did it right.

Dual Pistols/Devices or Dual Pistols/EM or Dual Pistols/MM...I just picture Red Riding Hood as a pistol toting blaster.

Though, second would go for Titan Weapons or Battle Axe.

Peacebringer/Warshade was the ones that came to my mind.

A girl lost within her own mind of creatures that lurk in the dark, waiting for her to be alone so they can eat her. What she doesnt know is that she herself is one of those creatures.
This grandma's house she is searching for [but unable to find], could it be that this "house" is indeed her homeworld? A lost and confused Kheldian, simply trying to find her way home.

I'm thinking Assault Rifle and or Dual Pistol/Traps Corruptor. Can't help it.

Wow, you guys are quick. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas! The idea of her with titan weapons or pistols is really funny. What caught my eye was this though:

I kinda like the idea of her mostly being, just a little girl so the psychic route is interesting. How do you guys think a mind/psi dominator would be? She'd just not live in a fairy tale herself, she'd make everybody else live in it too!

Time/Psi Defender or Psi/Time Corruptor. (Time recolored to match the psi)

That sounds fun..........I may just make one.

Beast Mastery. Duh.

"Granny, how many cousins you have!"

Assault rifle blaster, but to know why requires knowledge of a bad old joke that would get me banned if I repeated it.

I would go with a dark/psi dominator

she has evil thoughts which manifest as darkness and can even possess people. She lashes out with her pain. And ultimately she summons her own dark wolf into reality

Just from her look and the slight fairy tale-esque story, im thinking of staff and giving her the broom...

Now, i don't always agree with Sam, but when i do i concur.
You could go the BB Hood from Vampire Savior/Darkstalkers route an use AR or DP with Traps, but I also really like the Dark/Psi Dom who makes her nightmares real and then sics them on others.

Beast/Dark?

"And wherever I go, there are the wolves and the darkness following behind..."

I'd go with a Dark Control Controller or Dominator, myself. The Umbra Beast looks far more like the menacing 'Thing following me' than any of the Beast Control pets.

As for a secondary... /Storm, /Time or /Dark for a Controller; /Dark or /Psi for a Dominator.
