Any ideas for a custom?

[Zetsubo]

I've been trying to come up with ideas for a custom hero with this figure but I can't think of anything good. Does anone have an idea for this?.

The figure is Wolfhawk from Mage Knight
Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place.

interesting...is that a tail she's got? Almost looks kinda like a female gladiator...but female gladiators don't usually have duel Katanas either..that's an interesting sculpt...I can see why you've had a hard time.

I think that's the end of her ponytail, not a tail.

I'd probably go with an Einar Samurai hero. The outfit isn't historically correct, but if that doesn't matter to you, then it doesn't matter to me. If you want to go simple on the powers, give her Counterstrike and Double Attack. Or maybe a variant of Double Attack (Dual Wield?) where if she attacks the same figure with the second attack, it rolls 1 fewer defense.

She looks like some kind of variant of samurai assassin. She looks like she could have ninja or samurai like powers, especially with the katana. You could mix and match powers from other samurai, and ninja figures if you didn't want to come up with your own.

No its just her extremely long ponytail.
@TREX @IshMEL I've thought about making her a Samurai but as cool as it would be, it just doesn't fit for me. I've also contemplated making her an Amazonian, but I'm not sure how to make her feel like one ability wise. IshMEL's dual wield seems pretty decent.

How about a combination of existing powers Double Attack and Defensive Vault?

SO-SO

Einar/Ullar/Aquilla
Human
Unique Hero
Samurai/Warrior
Disciplined/Tricky

Life 5
Move 6
Range 1
Attack 3
Defense 3

70 Points

DOUBLE ATTACK
After So-so attacks, she may attack one additional time.

DEFENSIVE VAULT
After So-so rolls defense dice against a normal attack from an adjacent opponent's figure, if she is still adjacent to the attacking figure, you may place her on any other space adjacent to the attacking figure, if possible. So-so does not take any leaving engagement attacks when using Defensive Vault.

Just my first basic thought looking at the figure. With average stats, she'd probably go for 60-100 points.

I'm not quite understanding how defensive vault would be useful outside of jumping out of being completely encircled. Any explanation would very much appreciated

Get past screens, grab glyphs or height, stuff like that. Idunno...

I made a "dual sword" figure a while back. Feel free to use any of her powers, adapt, copy, or ignore:

Agent Walker ¤

Spoiler Alert!

Agent Walker
General: Jandar
Species: Human
Unique Hero
Class: Agent
Personality: Disciplined
Medium 5
Life: 4
Move: 5
Range: 1
Attack: 4
Defense: 3

Points: 110

Base: Single
Planet: Earth

Slash and Dash
After making a normal attack on an opponent's figure, if at least 2 skulls are rolled, Agent Walker may move up to 3 spaces. She does not take any leaving engagement attacks from the figure she just attacked.

Dual Blade Special Attack
Range 1 Attack Special
Target an engaged figure and roll 3 attack dice. Each skull rolled counts as two hits. Set aside any dice that did not show a skull. You may attack again with Dual Blade Special Attack, if possible, re-rolling the dice you set aside. On that attack, each skull counts as one hit.

Figure: Heroclix Rose Wilson

I rather like Dual Blade. I had to crunch some numbers on it to plug into my cost formula. Against a defense of 4, it's about the equivalent of throwing 7A.
