Day 31: Outgunned Combo 31 - Great Powers & Old Ones

Lottery Result: Great Powers and Old Ones – superheroes and the Cthulhu mythos

Maisie Masterson has no memory of her youth. One day she was found drifting in the waters near Boston harbour. Age-wise she was a young teenager, sadly one without any memory of where she came from or what she was. After the doctors and law enforcement were through with her CPS sent her into the foster system. And then she was very lucky and landed with a very friendly and very understanding couple. She became the daughter they always wanted, and she returned their love and trust. It was a match made in heaven. She also took after her adoptive dad and became a journalist. The one thing she never told them was about her weird … powers. She could hear and communicate with sea life, for example. 

In any case, these days she works the beat in New England, living close to the water. Always an agile and passionate swimmer, Maisie is never far from the sea, or at least a pool. Something always draws her there. And now she is on her way to record a report about the new home of some weird billionaire, on his yacht in the harbour in a podunk little town called Innsmouth. A crew is already waiting.

Note: In this setting very few people have superpowers. I will also once again soften my rules and allow Maisie to take a role not from either Action Flick. As an Old Ones hero, she will get a mythos-related Experience (Scar) and a Death Roulette bullet.

Role: The Super (GP) Sleuth

Trope: From the Sea (OO)

Feats: Ruler of the Sea (free re-rolls when in water, can talk to seat creatures, can call on sea creatures for aid), Elemental Power (Water) (can manipulate water at will, including as an attack), Reporter (great at interviewing people), Memory of a Dream (might get clues from strange dreams)

Flaw: Drawn to the sea

Experience: Hazy memories of odd creatures hunting her through the sea. Of deep loss. (Scar). 

Catchphrase: "Need a sip?"

I round her out with points added in Flirt and Speech, and she gets a pistol and a phone.

And here is the final sheet!

And with that, the challenge has been met – I will likely post a few thoughts in a day or so when I have some distance. It has been fun, though there are clear favourite combinations for me. This one here surprisingly turned out to be one - Maisie is a great send-off to my contributions, I think. More in the future.
