1) Banshee's Death Sense: Danger Sense (immediate vicinity, any danger, Function as a Sense, Targeting Sense, Telescopic (+10)); Only Senses Impending Death (-1) 18-
Notes: The user will only sense impending death whether by accident, malice or natural causes. This is subject to the GM's design. The range of this sense without range modifiers coming into play is about 256 meters but even so at ranges of up to about 8000 meters (5 miles) the possibility of the sense detecting a death is 8-. Only at ranges of 32000 meters (20 miles) or greater, does a death become undetectable. The Targeting aspect of the power is only used to direct the user to the location of the impending death.

Character Name: The Banshee
Alternate Identities: Fiona O'Rourke
Player Name: NPC
APPEARANCE
Hair Color: Once Dark Brown, Now White
Eye Color: Blue
Height: 5' 2"
Weight: 90 lbs
Description:
BACKGROUND
Metahumans, in general, come into their powers gradually, starting around puberty. It can be a slow increase of physical strength or a quickening of reflexes, wings. Usually this will happen over a year or so, some a few months, a rare few, over night. Fiona was an 'over nighter'.
POWERS/TACTICS
In many ways Fiona is a banshee of myths. Yes, she can sense an impending death if it is within her range. When she does sense a death, as soon as the sun sets, she becomes a banshee. She can fly, but only to the site of the upcoming death. She will pass through any barrier that comes between her and that goal. She takes on the appearance of a 'banshee', a ghostly form of herself that seems to be non-coporeal but isn't. When she reaches her goal, she will land on the roof of the building or somewhere high. She then begins the Cry of the Banshee, a terrifying wail that affect all within hearing range. This 'wail' is PRE-attack pure and simple and a person with a high PRE can withstand it. The effect on any hearing it ranges from running in terror, to cowering in fear.
PERSONALITY/MOTIVATION
Fiona is a terrified young girl who has just lost her entire family. She has no idea what has happened to her or how to control it, let alone stop it. She is emotionally fragile and want nothing more than to run and hide ...
CAMPAIGN USE
Fiona is an innocent and bears no malice to any. She has no other significant powers other than her 'banshee' set. The change, the manifestation of her powers, has given her a significant boost in most characteristics. She does NOT have any resistant defenses. She has no experience in combat and no skills to speak of so other than her banshee cry, she is harmless. What powers she may develop in the future, who can say.
