Character Bio - Julie Power was born to Dr. James Power and Margaret Power. She was a founding member of the superhero team Power Pack. The second oldest of the four Power siblings, she was 10 years old when she was given her powers by Aelfyre Whitemane, a dying Kymellian noble. Julie has the power of unaided flight by means of rapid forward propulsion that leaves a highly-visible rainbow-colored band of light in her wake. Julie never flew at the speed of light as her codename suggested and her top speed remains unknown, but it was supposed by her brother Alex on one occasion that she had broken the sound barrier, though they were not travelling faster than the speed of the sound waves from their own mouths as they were conversing at the time - nor was Julie traveling so fast that she caused the creation of a sonic boom.

Well I have till Monday at the earliest unless one of you guys wanna knock it out. One thing I did just notice (and would have to change on Mass Master) is do we want to call it KYMELLIAN HEALING FACTOR or just KYMELLIAN HEALING?

[Griffin]

I don't think the "Factor" is necessary, but it is already on there, so lets keep it.

What's the theme behind making Small Carry basically a small stealth carry?

Um, I copied the text from Angel and forgot to change it. I'll make it "an unengaged friendly Small figure" and drop the leaving engagement line.

[Good Pig]

Cool. This chick is a nice support unit for future small figures too.

[IAmBatman]

Cool. Good stuff.

[tcglkn]

Updated the OP. I am about to send out some ERB (to the same people who same Mass Master FWIW)

Go, Power Pack!

No because placing a figure is like teleporting, you don't actually pass over the spaces.

[IAmBatman]

Whereas if she were Mind Exchanged or something, she could totally use her carry power.

[tcglkn]

Of course. I'm hoping to get on this initial playtest tomorrow. Today I'm going to the mall with my sister and cousin to hopefully pick up my graduation present. Neither Best Buy or Wal-Mart have any iPad 2s in stock.
