Sleep deprived character idea: an avian Transformed who changes playbooks and becomes a Star when they learn to celebrate and flaunt their weird feathery body instead of being ashamed of it. They take a lot of selfies now. Their name? Duckface.

Some characters I came up with after a brief glance at the Playbooks.

Salamander is a young guy with eihter naturally darker skin or a serious suntan in a black costume with yellow spots whose edges imply flame. He wears a yellow domino mask. He is rather think with too long limbs and an awkward stance. His head is completely shaven.

His first major acomplishment was stopping Manyarms using pistols made out of fire

I was listening to this again because it is stuck in my head since they used it for the Supergirl Season 2 launch trailer and got thinking about Masks.

Trouble is a teen with the worst luck ever. Wherever she goes there is crime and it always looks like it was her fault.

Might make for a good one-off NPC to throw into a big scene that the heroes arrive too late at.

Backstory

Thomas Ignacio Caballero is a mutant. His father, Diego, worked on a research project at Atomo Labs. The project involved dangerous isotopes that would hopefully be used to produce efficient nucleardriven engines. Unknown to Thomas’ father, these isotopes would cause his son to be a mutant, and cause his early death.

Diego died when Thomas was only 12 years old. Thomas could not handle his father’s death, and started to rebel. He took in with several street gangs as way to get out of the house. At the age of 14, Thomas’ mutant powers started to manifest themselves. At first, Thomas would wake up soaking wet. Soon, he noticed that his skin was becoming clear, and that he quickly became dehydrated. The other members of his gang turned against Thomas, and threw him out when they saw his skin changing. In a fit of rage, Thomas sent the gang leader 30 feet in the air with a jet of high-pressure water! Thomas had nowhere to turn, so he returned home.

Thomas’ mother, Maria, took in her son, and has gained back his respect and love. The two have made a pact that they will do anything in their power to make sure these strange mutant powers do not prevent Thomas from making a normal life for himself. Thomas is currently a model student at Halcyon High School, and plans to take the accelerated placement exam for Chemistry and Computer Science.
