_________________________________________________________________
Character Bio - Orphaned at birth and separated from her twin brother, Jeanne-Marie was brought up repressed at a strict religious school. Her superpower of flight manifested itself when she tried to commit suicide. Believeing divine intervention, she confided in her teachers, only to be severely punished, causing a dissociative identity to develop. Five years later, that identity avoided a mugging by moving at superhuman speed.

Wolverine witnessed this and recruited Jeanne-Marie into the Canadian superhero program, where she was reunited with her twin brother Jean-Paul (Northstar) and took on the name Aurora.

LIGHT OF INNER PEACE
Before placing Order Markers for a round, if an opponent has more than one Army Card with figures on the battlefield, you may choose one of that opponent’s figures within 5 clear sight spaces of Aurora. Roll the 20-sided die. If you roll 14 or higher, no Order Markers may be placed on that figure’s Army Card for that round. Aurora may not attack affected figures.

SUPERSONIC FLYING
When using the Flying special power, Aurora may add 4 to her Move number. If she does, she cannot attack this turn.

SENSORY ASSAULT
If Aurora has clear sight on a non-adjacent figure's Target Point, Aurora rolls 1 additional attack die when attacking that figure.

Very cool design SirG!

Seems weird to me that Light of Inner Peace would affect entire squads if just 1 figure is within 5 clear sight spaces of Aurora.

It could definitely get broken if it's just Anti-Monitor VS An army with Aurora and she is within 5 clear sight spaces of him. He could go entire rounds without getting turns.

Imagine s/he is the commander.

Ok, sounds reasonable. I also made an edit above that I feel should be addressed.

I love the creativity in the first power. This is one of your best writeups IMO.

for sure. That is freaking awesome!

[tcglkn]

For sure. And besides my very stupid reading error this design seems solid. She can really mess up your plans.

[Hahma]

Yeah, that can really mess up Kingpin, HYDRA Agents, Thugs and a certain design I'm currently working on

[Margloth]

Looks good.

[IAmBatman]

Love it. Love the theme. It's like Negotiation on Crack, which means we've taken a previous mechanic attached to a certain theme and taken it to the extreme, which I looove to see in designs. Well done.
