Stories? Ain't nobody got time for that.

I've only ever written a handful of character descriptions for my numerous alts... I have so many alts (and had and deleted so many more), some of them only having vague ideas of their backstory, that I've finally given up on writing their stories and decided to let Chat GPT do it (with minor edits by me as needed). Here are some of my results using the following prompt: I need a brief origin story for a [Origin] superhero named [Name]. It should be no more than 1023 characters in length and feature [any pertinent details I've thought of].

Depends on the AT.

As FupDup says, it would be more of an epic than a standard pool, which means the contents will vary from AT to AT where as Fighting pool has a static set of choices open to everyone. As for what specifically the mechanical difference is, read the original post at the top for examples.

So all boxers have super strength? Let's not make this a regular topic of conversation or else they might start developing even bigger egos.

Fighting pool represents a measure of skill. I'm talking about throwing in some superhuman strength.

Why is it always me? I used Imgur and someone couldn't see my pics... I changed to ImgBB, and now it's happening again? I feel like I'm being persecuted by the image hosters.

Is there a doctor in the house? How about a disco doctor? I'll settle for a disco nurse. Disco Girl is ready to light things up with Kinetic/Fire.

Honestly, I wish some of the wings were like this, too. Looking at you, Phoenix Wings...

I wouldn't mind it if it had value, but...

And they introduced a whole new currency for it all.

Yeah, the texture of the Cybertech top goes nicely with a few things.

I made a new blaster tonight. And so I was obligated to Krea her up.

Praetoria, Club 55... the room with Bobcat.

I was feeling fiery tonight and wanted to make something classic that wasn't "too much" in the details department. BrainFire Psychic Blast/Fire Manipulation Blaster

I always have a blast playing Fire/Storm Corruptor or Storm/Fire Defender... Freezing Rain + Rain of Fire together are so satisfying. Watch them slow down, slip, fall, and burn.

I was thinking, the Ancillary power pools could be a good way to proliferate some powersets to expand on people's character concepts. Most of the Ancillary stuff is some kind of energy... Dark, Fire, Psionic... Energy energy... but there are exceptions with some weapons like Scrappers' Weapons Mastery giving them shuriken for ranged attacks and Blasters getting Arsenal Mastery with armor and grenade and more ranged attacks. But what's like the most iconic superhero ability? Super strength. No, not everyone has it, but it's almost a staple of comic book superheroes that even the heroes who aren't the Hulks and Supermen have it backing up something else. Iron Man could be a Sentinel with his various ranged attacks plus defense/resists of his armor, but he's also a heavy hitter in the strength department. Wonder Woman, as portrayed in the movies, could be more the Scrapper or Brute to Superman's Tanker, but she's often using a sword or her lasso and the feats of strength are just gravy. So why not make a Super Strength Mastery ancillary pool? For ranged ATs you could throw in Resist Physical Damage as a non-toggle armor similar to Arsenal Mastery. Throw in a couple of the melee attacks, and depending on the AT other tools like Handclap and Footstomp for AOE soft controls... a mini Rage that's longer than Build Up but doesn't offer as much boost (or just flat out add Build Up where appropriate like Corruptors/Defenders have it with Energy Mastery). The hardest part would be building on the existing content for melee ATs having Super Strength Mastery, since they mostly get ranged attacks and two of the four melee ATs already have access to Super Strength as a Primary or Secondary power set. For ranged attacks, I say build on what we have. Start a smaller version of Hurl by giving us a Throw Rock power that deals Smashing damage + chance for Disorient. And maybe a bigger version of Hurl in there somewhere that's a targeted AOE. Boosting damage on the melee as an extra power is probably never going to happen, and they already have their own damage mitigation powers... so look at other powers and maybe find a way to justify pulling off additional feats of super strength with them. Scrappers have Petrifying Gaze in Dark Mastery... maybe Super Strength Mastery for scrappers could include a fear attack as the character uses one of the flex emotes or maybe that chest pounding one with Fighting pool's Tough to intimidate people with their muscles. For Brutes and Tankers with their physique-enhancing bonus of Energy Mastery -> Physical Perfection and Psionic Mastery -> Harmonic Mind, there could be something like Tireless Strength that grants bonus to Regen and a hefty resistance to -DMG debuffs. Super Strength all around!

Definitely need some higher resolution alternatives of existing parts. Like we need a Bikini top to match Bikini 3 bottom... Only one top right now and it's strings are mismatched wide with the thin bottom... made all the worse by the "jaggies" as you put it. I would also love to see an alternative to the Disco top that looks like a halter but for some reason drops to a point along the spine. Clothing doesn't work like that, so I have to assume that like the character models having these applied directly to the skin, we should just assume that women are running around naked with body paint.

Animal-themed mutants... non-animal-themed mutants... other things.

Suddenly I'm thirsty...

And this puts me over the limit of my daily credits... An Illusion/Sonic Controller named Echolight:

Miss Truth also wears a stylish blue jacket sometimes. Here she is depicted using her powers of Bio Armor and Energy Blast.
