Also, found a post on Torquasm Vo in the Kryptonian Culture and Society tumblr, which suggests that I should add rather more to it, at least in Optional Traits:
Quote:
Torquasm-Vo is an ancient Kryptonian meditation technique, a mental discipline in which one reaches a “theta state” to control one’s mind and even others’; seeming to control reality, at least in one’s perceptions. Warriors used it to reach peak state.
Sound like at least Suggestion and perhaps Sensory Control, along with possibly other Telepathic abilities. Thoughts?

EDIT: The blog moved, so here's the new link for Torquasm Vo

An early, really limited draft of Klurkor:

Klurkor
4 points


Skills: Acrobatics; Judo; Karate.

Techniques:

Cinematic Skills:

Cinematic Techniques:

Perks:

Optional Traits

Secondary Characteristics:

Advantages: Combat Reflexes; High Pain Threshold; Language (Kryptonian).

Skills: Karate Art; Parry Missile Weapons; Savoir-Faire (Dojo).

Cinematic Skills: Pressure Points; Pressure Secrets.

Cinematic Techniques: Pressure-Point Strike.


I'm basing it on Te (Martial Arts pp169-170), but I'm obviously not going to just copy Te (for multiple reasons, not just copyright or the feeling that that would just be lazy). So, a lot of stuff isn't filled in, yet, and I hope people will have suggestions.

How about that:

Klurkor
4 points

Skills: Acrobatics; Judo; Karate.

Techniques: Exotic Hand Strike; Kick; Targeted Attack (Karate Kick/Face);

Cinematic Skills: Power Blow;

Cinematic Techniques:

Perks: Sure-Footed (Uneven);

Optional Traits

Secondary Characteristics:

Advantages: Combat Reflexes; High Pain Threshold; Language (Kryptonian).

Skills: Karate Art; Parry Missile Weapons; Savoir-Faire (Dojo).

Cinematic Skills: Pressure Points; Pressure Secrets.

Cinematic Techniques: Pressure-Point Strike.

Sure-Footed is because I saw a picture of Lois on rollerblades just about to fight! The Kicking Techniques is because the text where I saw the picture ("Five Fictional Styles And How To Fake Them", Google it) says something like "kicking in the face on rollerblades", or something like that, and Exotic Hand Strike is because the picture you linked. In that picture, by the way, Lois lifts a man with a punch (Power Blow).

Looks good! Might not be the finalized version, but if no-one can think of anything that needs adding (I have the vague feeling it needs more, but no specifics), maybe it should be.
