    Name: Selene Delacroix
    Age: 15

    Personality: Hotheaded, cocky, and impulsive, Selene is a reckless girl that enjoys fighting for the sheer thrill of combat. Nonetheless, she only enjoys fighting for the sake of it, and is not overly sadistic or cruel. Selene also strongly believes in right and wrong, and tends to be rather judgemental as a result. Still, if Selene believes someone to be in the right, she will fight tooth and nail to defend them.

    Personal history: Selene hails from a rather ordinary family, with her parents being simple bureaucrats. However, they were often too busy working to properly take care of her, and she more often than not stayed with her grandfather. Selene's grandfather had been a combat mage during the war against the Bydo, and he often regaled Selene with war stories when she was a child.

    After months of pleading, Selene finally convinced her grandfather to begin training her in magic. She was found to have high magical potential, and her training began in earnest. As her training progressed over the years, Selene began to apply her magic towards practical purposes, wandering the streets in her free time and picking fights with bullies and other rather unpleasant schoolmates for shits and giggles. Eventually, her grandfather got word of this and expressed his displeasure in the form of a magical beatdown. He wasn't having his granddaughter become a juvenile delinquent. Afterwards, he strongly suggested to her that she apply her magic towards being a productive member of society. Since most employment paths for combat mages started in the LCE, Selene applied to join.

    In training, Selene was found to excel in physical combat, coming out at the top of her cadet class in hand-to-hand and magical sparring. However, her record was marred by some minor incidents of insubordination, mainly in regards to mouthing off towards her instructors. It wasn't severe enough to actually impact her squad postings, but her maverick tendencies were noted in her records.

    Magic: Selene fights in the style of a Sephira Knight, but with a bit of Kahr-Ithaca mixed in. Her magic is primarily centered around enhancing her physical attributes for melee combat as well as making her Barrier Jacket an actual suit of armor. However, she also uses her lance as a focus for Kahr-Ithaca style magical blasts, allowing her to comfortably fight at both close and long range, although she prefers melee.

    Complications:
    Motivation - Thrills: Selene joined the LCE solely because she'd be able to fight as much as she wanted without being arrested for disturbing the peace.
    Motivation - Justice: She has her own sense on what's right and what's wrong, and acts according to that. Upholding the law doesn't matter so much to her as making sure that shitty people get what's coming to them.
    Reputation (Maverick): Even in basic training, Selene developed a reputation for playing fast and loose with orders for her own convenience. This has been noted on her service record, and anyone who checked it would know.
    Temper: Selene's temper is set off if she believes that justice is being violated in some way, regardless of what the law says.

    • Uncanny Dodge - You are especially attuned to danger. You are not vulnerable when surprised or otherwise caught off-guard. You are still made vulnerable by effects that limit your mobility.
    • Startle - Use Intimidation rather than Deception to feint in combat. Targets react with Insight, Intimidation, or Will defense.
    • Interpose - Once per round, when an ally within range of your normal movement is hit by an attack, you can choose to place yourself between the attacker and your ally as a reaction, making you the target of the attack instead.

Can I use gifs of anime characters~?

Try not to use too many. Some people have toasters for computers, and gifs kill their page-loading powers.
 
So I decided to redo my character, but I'm coming across a difficult issue.
My problem is that in trying to create a "Vampire Spell" (deals damage, heals you afterwards), I'm left without an Extra/Flaw that does such a thing. Currently what I've got is a Linked Effect power containing Blast and Healing. What I want to do is make it so the Healing effect only activates if the Blast effect scores a damaging hit. The Extra "Triggered" seems the most fitting, but that makes it cost more points rather than decrease them (considering its a limitation and all).
I'm thinking my best option is just to make a Flat-cost Custom flaw that does what I'm trying to do for the Healing portion of the Linked Effect. Opinions?
 
Well, the easiest solution is to just do a custom Extra to put the "Vampiric" extra from M&M 2nd right back into the game, because it did exactly what you're looking for. It costs 1 PP/rank. Whenever you damage a target with an attack using the extra, you can make an immediate recovery check against the same condition you inflicted (or a lesser one). You get a bonus on the check equal to the attack's damage bonus (or, if partial ranks in the extra, your ranks in the extra).

I think enough finagling with Healing would do the same thing overall, but this is a much more elegant solution.

What are partial ranks though?
Click to expand...
In your case, it'd be something like Blast 8 with Vampiric 4, so the Power only has partial (4) ranks in Vampiric rather than full (8).
 
How would one go about making an undodgeable attack? One that simply dismisses Dodge rolls? Is it at all possible?
 
Perception (increased range 2) or AoE effects don't have dodge rolls. Aoe has a dodge check to receive half effects but it'll always hit.
 
It's definitely Perception range if it's not intended to be an area attack.
 
Perception just means it can hit anyone within a perception range of the user. It's probably still a skillshot, so to speak. Also individuals can have the Evasion extra to dodge AoE stuff better than normal, indicating to me that AoE stuff still has a dodge roll allowed.
 
No, Perception is an automatic hit, not simply "range: as far as you can see." The downside to it is you can't use anything that would interact with an attack roll on a perception (or area) effect. If you can accurately perceive a target, the power will work on them. No attack check needed.

Yeah the Dodge roll is to see if they take full or half effects. They still get hit regardlessly, a successful dodge just halves the effect(s).
 
In case you haven't noticed, Mutants and Masterminds is mechanically overpowered. This shit is hilarious.

The ridiculous part is it's actually balanced, despite this. It's why it works so well for animu bullshit. Of course, it's worth pointing out that one can probably minmax to make some sort of perfect character who can do everything. But, the more important thing is to make the character you'd want to read about or watch, not making the mechanically "best" one.
