Tell us about blorbo from your Masks game! I love Masks but have never been able to play it

Oh it's great, would recommend! literally the best supers system I've ever seen (in large part because of the crucial realization that 'superheroes' as a genre is impossibly incoherent and vast, and it's better to focus on one subgenre and do it well).

Anyway my PC was a nova! Her name was Amal, assigned codename of 'Galaxy Girl' by the SHIELD analogue, which she despised. Add 'cosmic energies' powerset interpreted incredibly literally, with the ability to create micro-singularities and gravity wells and burn things with flashes of solar plasma. Was, uh, not good at doing much besides flight without incredible amounts of collateral damage - we literally did the 'accidentally destroy a major bridge in the course of chasing down some villains' thing, and it was ~60% her fault. Very much teenage delinquent hiding incredibly existential dread about her future and of hurting people under a thick layer of rule-breaking and excess for the sake of it.

The game ended before her weird dream-visions were revealed to actually be the result of an alien empire telepathically diving her location and invading to conscript her as their imperialist faction's messiah/god-empress/idol of conquest, but it would have really fuckd her up when it happened.
