Eve looks like a healer to you? *Chuckles ominously*

Either way, I like your girl, she's creative and fits right in I think

Really really fast would need specifications. Not intense scientific sort, just a... scale to stick with, or something like that.

Basically this but I can't figure out how to put it into words that fit a character sheet.

<Snipped quote by AlternateMan>
I am not sure how fast the flash is. But I know he can like bend space and time and crap and that's far from what I want.
I was basically thinking of a character that can dash from cover to cover avoiding a hail of bullets all cool style to get in close. And when she is close you expect such a character to draw a sword or SMG or something and just rip the enemy appart. But nope. Magnetic mine. Stick one of those suckers on the poor bots and jump away as they pop. Also like if we ever get to fight a giant robot she'd like wallrun up the thing leaving mines as she goes. :)

I was looking up speeds and such. Earth’s escape velocity is 7 miles a second. That just sounds insanely fast. 25k mph.

As a sort of measurement. Perhaps compare her speed to the speed of sound, a bullet, or light.

We use metric system here good kind sir
Hmmm, that simple comparison could work.

Those aren't really in the same order of magnitude that I was thinking. Like, we have a character in the game, several in fact, that have basically taken super strength. Think that but in terms of speed. She's fast enough that she can do a dramatic run at the enemy and not get shot to pieces but that's the extent of it.

Like say we run into a platoon of enemy robots with guns. Our sniper takes up a covering position and my girl charges at them zigzaging so as to not get shot throwing bombs all the way. By the time she's taken out a couple of the enemy and generally "pulled" the mob the rest of our melee troops are upon them ready to hack them apart. That sort of thing.

I get that. But bullets are faster than sound. So not light speed, but faster than sound. It’s not narrowest of end brackets but it’s a start.

You are thinking about this wrong. She does not have to be faster than the stuff being shot at her. She only has to be faster than the hands wielding the gun. Think circlestrafing basically.

Sounds like maybe the speed of an arrow give or take a bit is what you want? Seems easy enough to me

Basically video game circle strafe speed what ever that is. I don't want to be overpowered and am frankly not sure what the powerlevel here even is as most people have gone for such numerically accurate descriptors as "stronger than average by far".

I am basically banking on the idea that robots won't be smart enough to figure out a proper lead on her before she ducks into some cover or zigzags the opposite way. Because that's what I figure is the power level at display here.

I guess the intelligence of the robots is to be determined. But I’m sure they have something. A guy invented a dart board that can track darts mid flight and adjust itself to always hit a bulls eye. And we’re facing raiding robots.

I get what your going for. I’m similar with bullet count. Cinematically, I can see her going as fast as she needs to for the cool points. I don’t think we need consistency as much as perhaps a maximum.

On a side note I think I want to downgrade Eve's ranged weapons. She doesn't need much power to be effective and it's too close to Lorna's equipment

So, Purple's character could more or less aimdodge out of the way before the rounds are shot, rather than avoiding the bullets once they've been fired. Good to know.
