City of Heroes - My Characters - The Scarlet Swordsmistress

The scarlet Swordsmistres sis a Katana based scrapper with increased agility powers. My goal here was to try and make a Natural based character with mostly real world powers, so she dodges attacks using martial arts and uses skills with a sword in combat. I actually quite like the close quarters slugging of playing a scrapper, but do have to remember that the don't have the resilience of a tank.



Character wise I opted for scantily clad woman in stripper boots, this was deliberate, but not for the more obvious reason. My origin for her was of a woman who was supremely confident in everything, her skills, appearance, and was loud and forthright with it. In fact often she gets to the point of being annoyingly sure of herself and could be deaf to other ideas. To this end she has a bright but revealing costume. (Working on her opinion that she has it and may as well flaunt it)



I also decided that an aspect of her personality would be a slight superiority complex, particularly to heroes with non-natural powers, her only concession to her powers being purely her own ability is a gravity belt that allows her to leap great distances for travel purposes. Otherwise the most high tech thing she'll generally use is her trusty katana.
