MP - Fireline, invulnerable fiery fashion model

I don't remember the exact origins of this character. It was probably one of those creative "doodle" exercises I was doing one day, while resting my brain. Some people sketch; I make characters. The power set is useful enough to make a playable character, and simple enough to be fun to convert to other game systems, so I did. The conversion for Hero System is in the back of the FGU adventure books from the mid-80s. (My absolute favorite being "Honor," by Ken Cliffs). The Living Legends and Mighty Protectors hacks are derived using official and unofficial rules. If I can find my Superworld books, I may throw in that conversion (my copy of "Honor" being next to my elbow as I write this).

Background and Origin: Her powers are a natural mutation, but did not emerge until college. Her Invulnerability emerged slowly, but her flame powers manifested rather abruptly one night after an all-night drinking binge. (She woke the next morning thinking it was just an incredible dream until she saw the photographs in the city newspaper. Fortunately no one had gotten a positive ID, but she knew it was her.)

Combat Tactics: Because she is bulletproof, she tends to go directly to the offensive, shooting flame blasts. She only activates her fire shield if she wants to fly, or if she actually takes damage and wants the added level of protection.

Personality Traits: Friendly and high-spirited. She has become absolutely fearless about physical harm, but is still protective of her privacy, since she understands her friends and family are vulnerable.

Appearance: Fireline is 5'10" tall, with blond hair and brown eyes. She has a dark natural tan, and her flames are the yellow and orange of sunlight.

Powers: She is bulletproof and can form a sheath of fire around herself that lets her shoot flames and fly.
