Oh good! 'Cause I really want the gymnast/acrobaticst be a part of her repertoire. Also, a bo-staff. Because that just seems cool to me!
I'm really liking the vibe I'm getting from the Doomed playbook. And I'm totally okay if Kanika buys the farm--so long as she has a good story in the process. I definitely want "a brave face" though because I don't wanna play doom and gloom all the time. But then, so many people who are terminally depressed never actually show it... Her story-arc is about accepting her doom, I suppose.
I've got a nemesis worked out that i think'll work, but I need help/suggestions on the sanctuary.
Anyway, sorry for the wall of text, but here's where I'm at so far.

Nemesis
My namesis is Carmilla Black (Scorpion), who's adopted parents were brutally killed. She believes her biological mother is the chief scientist of Advanced Idea Mechanics.

[_] Insecure (-2 to defend someone or reject others' influence)
Backstory
When did you first learn of your doom?
Upon Kanika's first transformation to her cluster-form, nearly an eighth of the cluster was destroyed. When she reformed, there were some substantial changes to her physique. Her eyes were green--no longer brown-- and there were strange spiral patterns of rocacea along parts of her thighs, and she suddenly seemed to be double-jointed. The idea of losing her self-identity scares her silly.
Where did you get your sanctuary?
Her sanctuary is a walled off "hidden" room in her family's basement. It's actually the space underneath the houses front stairs. As a toddler, she mistakenly locked herself in the room--the seed of her childhood fear of spiders. The room isn't in use anymore; her father boarded it up and painted over it. But years later, Kanika discovered it was accessible from a crawl-space under the front porch. It's the place she goes when she wants to be alone. More importantly, it's the place she went to "reform and regenerate" from her injuries. There are still a
lot of spiders there....
I'm not terribly enthused by this... though the attributes (meditation space, healing equipment & arts, music, food) work for me. Really, any sufficiently dark space preferably underground with lots of arachnids is a good thing.
Why do you oppose your nemesis?
Kanika and Carmilla used to be friends and teammates on the state gymnastics team. Basaq was on-scene for the brutal murder of Carmilla's parents--one of her first outings as a "hero". Basaq failed to save Carmilla's parents.
Carmilla holds Basaq responsible and has vowed revenge. Neither Kanika nor carmilla know the others identity. But Kanika isn't entirely certain that her presence didn't make the situation worse, she fears she might, actually, have been responsible for Carmilla's parents death. As a result, she and Carmilla grew more distant (because children don't know how to deal with sudden, traumatic, grief like that).
How Carmilla became Scorpion? No idea. But Scorpion is out to make Basaq pay.
Who, outside of the team, is crucial to defeating your nemesis?
Open to suggestions
Why does the team matter to you?
When Basaq does things alone, she makes mistakes and mistakes cost lives. She's
really afraid of causing another death or injuring others... But there's this well of anger and fear that she taps into and sometimes acts without thinkign or restraint. There's safety in numbers, even if it's only social/emotional support.
When Our Team First Came Together...
We paid a high cost for victory. What was it?

What Brings My Doom closer?
overexerting myself & facing danger alone
I'm particularly intrigued by the "facing danger alone" because there's a suggestion that there might be a sort of deathwish there. She desperately needs friends and teammates but also gets caught in the "I don't want to be a burden" trap. She also secretly believes that her doom is inevitable and that, ultimately, she's going to face it alone, anyway...
