I'll be using this thread to post short write-ups of the members of The Impracticals, a team of marginally super-powered heroes. Starting with The Inconspicuous Ottoman!


OTTOMAN
Name: Otto Mann
Side: Good
Sex: Male
Level: 1
Age: 25

Powers:
1. Transformation/Weaker Form: Can transform into an ottoman. In this stationary form, he does not need to eat/breathe and automatically defends as Life Support. PR = 0.

Weight: 160 lbs.
S 11
E 11
A 9
I 11
C 10

Hits: 4
Power: 42

Origin: Accidental Scientific. Little is known about Ottoman's background before joining the Impracticals ... or the bizarre experiment that gave him his power.

MASS LASS
Name: Stella Stone
Side: Good
Sex: Female
Level: 1
Age: 22

Powers:
1. Heightened Senses: This quasi-psychic skill allows her to accurately estimate an opponent's height and weight after spending one action 1" away to size them up . PR = 0.

Weight: 120 lbs.
S 10
E 11
A 11
I 12
C 11

Hits: 4
Power: 44

Origin: Homemade. As a member of the Impracticals, the amazing Mass Lass hopes to balance the scales of justice by tracking down the disgruntled customer who murdered her father (a successful carnival performer who made a living guessing people's weight). All she knows about the suspect is that he is six feet tall and weighs 260 lbs.

I know what everyone is thinking so I'll just ask it, if Mass Lass sits on Ottoman, can Ottoman guess HER weight?

Yes.

Also, I updated her entry to specify that she can also determine the height of an opponent. More entries to come.

I like these a lot... but I wish mass pass could guess the mass of everything not just opponents.... each could actually do something important if the stars aligned correctly...

Go ahead and say she can do that too! An "opponent" could mean anything, if you'd like.
