Others might have taken those most obvious of choices: strength and brawn, flight or even mastery of the elements. But not you, no.
You wanted something a different. A little less Superman, a little more robin hood; with just a hint of magic for good measure.
Your powers will be both subtle and challenging. Superhuman balance and stealth combined with just a hint of enhanced strength and speed. The end result may not be the most eye-catching, but you’ll be incredibly versatile. The classic cat burglar.
Selecting a female avatar, you pour over the physique of your character. While the archetypal superhero might have an eye-catching build, you enter something a bit more elegant. From the supple curves and long legs to taut muscle and elegant face, she would look equally at home at a gala as she would running the rooftops.
When you’re finished, a hero stares back from the screen with cerulean eyes. The end result is fairly tall at 5’8”, with a tightly toned build, hints of coiled muscle waiting beneath the surface.
Her visage is one of movie-star looks, with high cheekbones and elegant lips turned up in a seductive smile, the kind that melts hearts and leaves others wanting. You would only know her age from the stats you entered, her face betrays no answers. Blue eyes stare out from under a mane of midnight black hair, tied back in a complex braid.
That just leaves the costume.
You aim for something subtle. You are going for a thief motif after all. You select a catsuit, colored black with dark grey highlights, slightly open at the neck. Her hair remains tied back out of practicality, eyes obscured by goggles. Finally, you add a pair of black heeled boots for flair, she wouldn’t be inconvenienced by them after all.
The end result might be called a bit monochrome, but even in the menu you can practically feel her fading into the background. Exactly what you’d expect for a hero of the night.
To top it all off you add a single cosmetic: a thin gold ring around one finger, cat’s eye jewel embedded in its center. It would be a fun piece to build your character around.
Satisfied with your choices, you spin the camera around your avatar one more time. A deep breath later and you hit enter.
