History and Powers
Katie Sherrod has always been someone who would rather steal something than actually work for it, and the more valuable the better. During a break-in at a laboratory belonging to Quest Technologies, Sherrod accidentally overloaded one of their machines, causing a massive explosion. After she recovered in a hospital (while awaiting trial) she discovered that she had gained power over electricity, could shrink to a very small size, and could fly. She immediately used her powers to escape and begin stealing again, except this time to much greater success.
Ion is much more a thief than a violent criminal, and will often choose to flee a combat rather than slug it out. While she has occasionally teamed up with other villains for "the big score," she dislikes dealing with killers and ruthless supervillains. Given a serious enough threat, she could even team up with a hero.

 Costume
Ion wears a silver bodysuit with black trim. Her hair becomes a nimbus of energy when her powers are in effect.

 Quote: "When I heard this would be at the museum, I had just had to steal it. Shocking, isn't it?"

 I decided to get my own domain name: strangevistas.org and have been posting there for over a year.  When Adam at Barking Alien mentioned that he wanted me to start blogging again, I realized that he might not know, and that likely others didn't as well. So, now you do.  See you soon!

RPG Review: Far Trek

So, as I mentioned recently, I've got a lot of sentimentality for Star Trek RPG's, and Star Trek in general.  Three actual honest-to-God licensed ones exist in history: FASA's, Last Unicorn Games, and Decipher's.  I own the first two and have heard mixed things about the third. But there are also a lot of non-licensed Star Trek RPG's out there, and recently I saw that one of them, Far Trek , was offering a hard copy for a couple of bucks on Lulu.  Never one to let a deal go by I picked it up and thought I'd give you, gentle readers, my thoughts. Far Trek is a light-hearted, even breezy take on the Star Trek universe, almost exclusively the original series.  There rules incorporate stats, skills, and talents.  There are four stats: Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, and Charisma, with the stats ranging from about a -2 to a +2, reflecting their modifier on the die roll.  I actually like this mechanic, which I first encountered in True20.  It does...

Heroes Against Darkness review

For my birthday I picked up a print copy of Heroes Against Darkness  by Justin Halliday .  Why, might you ask, would I spent hard currency on a book that is offered as a .pdf for free? First, I like real books.  I read them better, and can do so in places other than in front of a computer monitor. Second, it's worth it.  Beats me if Halliday makes any money off the sale or not, but I hope he did, because offering this game for free was a very generous gift to the gaming world. Heroes Against Darkness is worth owning. (At least if you are me.  Your mileage may vary.) Heroes Against Darkness  is, by its own admission, a "fantasy heartbreaker," which is the usually derogatory term used by someone's homegrown version of Dungeons & Dragons.  If I had to summarize HAD's genetic heritage, I'd call it an early edition of D&D done using Fourth Edition mechanics.  If that early edition had 11 character classes. HAD has the standard D...
