I picked up the Hero Lab and it was my first time using it or making a character for Mutants & Masterminds / DC Heroes 3rd Ed... I hope to get some feedback and or any helpful tips you may have regarding my characters.

Personally, I love the build. I like warrior women who can kick butt. :lol:
I use Herolab myself for the bulk of my character building as well. I personally don't use enhanced scores for a physiology, simply because I don't seem them as something that can be nullified. So I just reflect that in my scores normally. I usually use the Enhanced Trait, when I need to separate a difference . Like a mutant whose power is super strength, which could be taken away by a mutant nullifier. Or Cybernetic enhancements, which could technically be removed with surgery.. etc. Otherwise , kudo's on the build.

[Tamaran]

Thank you for the kudo's on her and I see what your saying about the enhanced stats for her, it's something that will prob go away in the next draft.

Temper

Ekaterina Kalashnikov was captured by Cyberdata, an enormous corporation with ambitions of world-takeover. Cyberdata was run by brilliant scientists who had created advanced cybernetics technology and had employed this technology to create "Special Hazardous Operations Cyborg" or S.H.O.C.s. The captured mutants were all used in the experiments that had led to the creation of the S.H.O.C.s, and had their mutant abilities enhanced with cybernetic implants. The mutants escaped and banded together as Cyberforce to put an end to Cyberdata's plans.

Cyblade freed Ekaterina and she and Impact became close she took the name Saiga and joined the team trying to help Cyberforce to make sure no one else ever had to experience what they had been subjected to. Impact and Saiga, both left the group to try to live a “normal” life, stating emphatically that they wasn't interested in continuing there involvement in the team as it wasn't what ether of them ever wanted, but Impact was convinced by Ripclaw to rejoin the team and during one of the missions Impact was killed. Saiga then decided that she owed it to Impact, to take up fighting against the corrupt be it Cyberdata, the Daemonites or any other who threatened others freedom.

Okay this character , is just 10 types of cool. Great build and excellent picture.
Not though, that on Variable Descriptor. Ballistic is probably more a 1 pt descriptor, instead of 2.
And don't forget to state what senses your Concealment covers.

I'm glad to see I did a good job on the character being new playing this game, so I thought to be able to say she could change her ammo type would require her to have Variable Descriptor: 2 (Ballistic) to shoot Toxic, Fire, Cold or Electric rounds?

Complications:

Enemy: Daemonites and the Earthborn Sisterhood.
Honor: Tamaran adheres to the Coda Warriors Honor Code.

The Coda are a particular race of all female aliens who live on the planet Khera. They are trained in their own unique form of martial arts. Their weapon of choice is the Clef Blade, a weapon resembling a harpoon or a lance, though they often wield swords or even modern firearms. Coda warriors usually wear red markings on their face a sign (usually a circle) on the forehead and stripes on the cheeks) depicting their ranking within the sisterhood. A second class group of Coda warriors of different species have formed on various planets, carrying the blood of original Coda warriors only.

The Coda was founded on the planet Khera, home to the Kherubim. The Kherubim were a race blessed with longevity, but the downside was that they had become nearly infertile, in the mid 20th century, Zealot trained Grifter in the fighting style of the Coda, making him the first male Coda. When the Coda discovered this they marked Grifter a target for extermination as they believed the Coda ways are only to be carried by women. By now many Coda were working for the Cabal, an organisation founded by the Daemonites. Zealot, Grifter and Savant all were part of the WildC.A.T.s and Zealot also eventually trained WildC.A.T.s member Voodoo in the Coda martial arts. The WildC.A.T.s and Coda fought often. The WildC.A.T.s returned once to Khera where Zealot was nearly assassinated by her own Coda Sisters, just to make her a martyr for their cause. Zealot was disgusted with the Sisters betrayal of their ideals and returned to Earth with the other WildC.A.T.s and Tamaran returned with them.
