Default Re: Is it possible to build an essentially realistic character for a 500 poinsupers g

Okay, I had to take a stab at the challenge. Here's a 500 point, plausible character inspired by Michelle Waterson (AKA: "The Karate Hottie"), and to a lesser extent Gina Carano.

Anna Heung studied martial arts from childhood. She loved competition, and even more she loved the thrill of danger.

In her young adulthood she competed as a professional mixed-martial artist and soon proved herself to be world class, winning championships at several weight classes. Unfortunately Women's MMA doesn't pay as well as men's, so she supplemented her income by working as a model.

Because she was so beautiful, and so talented, she was soon discovered by a notable hollywood director, who cast her in a popular action franchise. Still seeking constant excitement, Anna insisted on doing all of her own stunts.

Soon even these death-defying stunts weren't enough to keep her excited, and so she began looking for a way to combine her love of excitement with her sincere desire to help people in need...

She's obviously no Batman, and a gunslinger/punisher build would be more effective at taking on multiple foes, but her amazing combat skills and resources make her potentially quite effective at handling herself and she can afford to be remarkably well equipped.

She doubles as a fairly effective "face," and her fame and beauty could open up doors that she can't kick down.
