Even so, though, I have a few questions. I've worked for about 2 days (which is pretty much not a lot at all) on this character, and since she's the main character, I figure that maybe once I nail her down, the rest of the story will sort of follow? Currently I only have The Falcon fleshed out, and her name is very VERY not good at all and expendable and open for suggestions on improvement *cough cough*. Her alter ego, Lana Bowen, is a detective in a sort of Gotham-like setting called Pandora City, where the crime rate is fantastically high. One night, she was walking by an alleyway when she was off-duty, and she sees a big lump of half-dead guy in the alley. It's human-looking, but he's wearing a bird mask and dressed oddly. He's holding onto a necklace-looking thing with a gem in the middle. By the looks of him, he's been mugged. She thinks nothing much of his outfit and calls an ambulance, they rush him to the hospital, and she stays in his hospital room until he comes to and can tell her what his assailant looked like. When he comes to, he explains to her that he's the prince of another planet, and the necklace he was holding onto is a royal heirloom that holds incredible power inside it. Their neighboring planet attacked them in order to steal the necklace, so he took a ship and ran away with the necklace. He crash-landed on earth, and he says it's only a matter of time before they find him and take the necklace, and he doesn't have the ability to protect it. She doesn't believe a word of it and just fingers him as another wacko, etc., but she goes along with it anyway just to appease him and get him to tell her about who mugged him. Long story short, the alien bird-man thing tells her about his mugger, but he more importantly gives her the necklace, and begs her to take care of it and never let it out of her sight. She takes it, but the second she touches it, she feels a shooting pain travel up her arm and into her head. When she opens her eyes, though, she finds that her vision has totally changed. She's too spooked to continue her conversation with the alien, so she takes the necklace and leaves. After a little experimentation, she finds that the necklace has granted her these fantastic powers she has. She decides to become The Falcon (or a superhero with a less crappy name that has yet to be decided) after the aforementioned warlike aliens land and start raping and pillaging to find this necklace. As to her powers, she basically has all the abilities of a bird. she has super speed in the air, a heightened sense of sight and hearing, night vision, and she doesn't get winded (birds have spectacular respiratory systems). I picture her powers a little bit like Vixen's as well, except it only applies to birds (so she could, theoretically, secrete poison like a Pitohui or be able to imitate anything she hears like a Parrot, but I feel like that's stretching into mary-suedom) and not like... EVERY ANIMAL EVER. As to weaknesses, birds don't have sweat glands, so she's very sensitive to and fatigues much quicker in hot temperatures, and birds' high metabolic rate causes her to tire out quickly, so she has to sleep and eat a LOT more than the average human, plus she acquires a rather fatal allergy to avocados and chocolate (but of course, the latter two weaknesses are mostly played for laughs). The two biggest weaknesses, though, are that since the necklace taps into her animal-like behavior, she slowly loses her touch with humanity (and birds are pretty much assholes by nature, excuse the French, so she pretty much gets all Hulk and out of control) the more she uses her powers. The only way for her to revert back to human-like behavior is to remove the necklace from her possession, but if you take away the necklace, you take away her powers as well. So for two days of work, i think i've made a bit of progress, but her origin story still needs some fine-tuning. I'd also like to know how i can iron out her powers as well, to make her seem less mary-sue and more likeable. Lastly, can someone give me a better name for her than The Falcon? I'm sure it's been used to death. Thanks :) Oh, man, this site has helped so much you don’t even know. Even so, though, I have a few questions.

I think the government type would be the easiest to explain--police work with criminals pretty often (as informants or witnesses), so I don't think it'd raise many eyebrows if they swapped information or did small favors for one another. (Publicly helping him commit a crime would probably raise a lot of heat, though). The renegade clone might have some personal vendetta against the villain based on his background or motivations (whatever those are). The vigilante would probably be opposed to any villain, although he might also have a personal vendetta against this villain based on the danger level and/or any history between the antagonist and him. (I'd recommend having the cooperation build only gradually between the vigilante and the government-sanctioned superhero). What was the convict in prison for and what are his motivations like? I think it'd help to know more about the characters' personalities.

Then they wiped his memories to cover their tracks, but one scientist in particular stays with him and makes sure he gets by and doesn't die.

For example, in Point of Impact, a disgraced FBI agent decides to help an alleged assassin clear his name because of a sense of justice and duty). Here are some questions that come to mind, Sylar.

–Where did his powers come from?

–How did he lose his memories? Are there any sorts of events that cause him to regain fragments of memories? (E.g. if a contract killer had amnesia, maybe handling a kitchen knife would remind him of other things he’s done with knives).

–What’s his personality like?
