There's no real way to tell what Ruby really looks like. As a shapeshifter, she can pick any look she wants. Her standard form is up to the player. She is very flamboyant and a little frivolous. She has very little patience for the doom-and-gloom types. She's into this hero stuff as much for the thrill as anything. Name: Ruby-Kaye Nevill Age: Player's Choice Gender: female Hair:? Eyes: ? Height: ? Build: ? Race: ? Snopsis: There's no real way to tell what Ruby really looks like. As a shapeshifter, she can pick any look she wants. Her standard form is up to the player. She is very flamboyant and a little frivolous. She has very little patience for the doom-and-gloom types. She's into this hero stuff as much for the thrill as anything. The Stats - The first ten rows of statistics are the base statistics and mean just about what they look like. The range is more or less from ten to twenty, with ten indicating the level of a healthy, normal human and twenty indicating the limit of human capacity. Ruby is average strong for a hero, pretty nimble, moderately bright and not very self- controlled. Obviously, she's a knockout. The second column are the figured statistics. The rest of column are the figured statistics. If you don't know the system, just don't worry about them. I'll tell you if you need them Disadvantages - HERO(tm)works on a point system. You pay for skills and powers with points, some of which you get by taking disads. Ruby has a habit of playing tricks on people, and a strong moral problem with homicide. The group that performed the experiment that gave her her powers is after her. Sometimes when she is not paying attention, her form will 'drift' a little bit over time. Powers - Ruby can change her shape at will. She can mimic just about any other person as well as change her size. She is called Butterfly after her flying form. She has to get small enough to be light enough to fly, but she then "grows" wings and can fly about. She also can shape her fingertips into claws and toughen her skin for self-defense. Skills - these are what they sound like. Rolls work the same way as the skill rolls in the "Stats" section. Maneuvers - These happen in combat. If you don't already know the system, don't worry about it. Origin/Background - Ruby might have been a changeling. She was awkward and creative in a family of don't-rock-the-boaters. In the small, conservative town she grew up in, nothing she did seemed to quite fit, and having a beautiful, popular, sister didn't help. Ruby became convinced that if only she were really pretty, people would like her. When the promised "blossoming" of growing-up never happened, Ruby decided that if anything was going to happen, she was going to do it herself. Against her better judgment, she answered an ad in the city paper, miles away. "Do want to change yourself?" it asked. She did. The ad was a front for a group of scientists wanting to create a new race of pliable servants. Except Ruby didn't go along with the plan. When she realized what the researchers were really doing, she went in to destroy the lab. She managed to blow up the machines - while she was still inside. By some miracle, she survived, and came out a changed, or at least changeable woman. Ruby decided that she was never going home. She could make a fresh start just where she was. Ruby lives alone, but keeps an eye on some of the other escapees from the lab. She works as a model, when she works.
