Oh yeah, she could do with an origin story too. Baseball bat against mobsters calls for some explanation.
That detective has a tiny umbrella, but he’s not really using it anyway so I guess size really doesn’t matter there.
EDIT: And here’s two takes at doing stats for page 170 gal in the RPG. No idea if it’s even close to what she might end up being like if she gets an official version, but it’ll do for now. Interesting experiment in doing a more street-level hero.
Alternate Hero Name: Emo G
a form changer or modular that changes fighting style based on the emoticon on her shirt. She is talking to not Crispin Allen in angry mode because that is the one that wants to take down the mob the most and would be the most convincing to him.
The Emo part of her name come from being in sad mode for 5 or 6 years after the tragic backstory.
All right, if you insist, here’s a Form-Changer version of her as Emo G. A Divided Form-Changer, no less, because I’m a glutton for punishment. Bundled it with my earlier, much simpler build for contrast.
I’d forgotten how much of a pain some builds can be, and combining Divided and Form-Changer is about as bad as it gets. Not doing that again anytime soon.
Well, this just goes to show that a single illustration can certainly be interpreted in a myriad of different ways. To throw my interpretation into the ring alongside Sea-Envy and Lackey’s, I would have probably extrapolated from the image that she was a baseball batter who turned to vigilantism for some reason, and stat her with Training + Close-Quarters Combatant. (Or maybe Marksman. Hey, if Pool-Shark can fight crime with pool balls, angry-face girl can do it with baseballs.)
Although I think that I will refrain from statting any of the illustrations until we have an answer from C&A on whether they ever have any intention of doing anything with them.
If you get past the name of the archetype, “Marksman” is just fine at building a melee combatant with a Signature Weapon if you want. Its mix of abilities has significant overlaps with CQC already, it offers a lot more Boosting possibilities, and it has two real Yellow powers rather than a single Green in disguise like CQC does. There’s nothing at all about it that calls for making exclusively ranged attacks (or even any at all) and having a “Lucky Bat” sig weapon and maybe some gimmick baseballs would make it real easy to justify using the same abilities for ranged and melee as desired.
Clearly the Tucci family tried to fix a major baseball game and she lost a family member because of it when they refused to throw the game. 
Based on this letter from Episode #159:
May I suggest a possible idea for some baddies (or not-so-baddies) for Dark Watch? Gargoyles! You’ve said in the past that they’re definitely a thing in Sentinel Comics, so what’s their deal? They haven’t done this work. In the interest of two non-answers in a row, let’s do a mini-Creative Process at least regarding what they are, but not any kind of specific stories. Most likely some kind of “guardian” (whether good or bad). Oh, or maybe observers - it’s not like they come down off the buildings to help. Maybe they’re the agents of some being out there who’s just keeping tabs on things (with the possibility of the occasional rogue gargoyle that breaks free, for good or ill). A full Creative Process episode could flesh this out, or even a Writer’s Room about a story where they actually do something (like whatever specific thing they’re watching for happens).
Some kind of distant evolutionary cousins of the mag-men? Still made of stone, but with the temperature turned way down and adapted for surface life. Maybe their metabolism runs on photovoltaic principles and the “wings” are organic solar panels. Store up energy during the day in a static feeding mode, then animate at night and do…whatever it is they do. Might be able to amp themselves up on crystals and supercharge themselves to turn their heat up to breathe fire or something.
Shades of Samurai Cat. Miaowara Tomokato, that is, not the pizza-obsessed wannabes from the cartoon.
All of the other heroes at once, of course. Because he’s Benchmark, and he’s the best. Not a Gary Stu at all.
Readers hated him for a reason, after all.
The H.R. Slim cinematic universe
Inspired by some questions in the most recent episode:
Writer’s Room: Time Travelers meet Young Haka
If the episodes for the Spooky Months aren’t already set…
Universe-666: Apostate in Æternus
I think Universe 666 is the “Hell-verse” they mentioned later in the same episode.
Writers Room- Sentinels of Freedom annual #1
Writer’s Room: General Geist meets Mecha-Stalin
Edit: I actually wrote that before listening to the whole episode, when they actually answered a question about it. But for some reason now I really want Guise vs. General Geist. I don’t normally go for Guise stories, but having him go up against the ghost nazi in a haunted airship graveyard seems oddly satisfying.
Bit of an odd topic request:
ASSISTANT EDITOR’S MONTH!
In the grand tradition from the 80’s, the conceit is when the editors all go to a conference, they leave the assistant editors in charge of that months comics, leading to wacky shenanigans.
With that in mind, I hope someone submits “Paul and Trevor record an episode of a Writer’s Room, that is widely accepted as a non-canon issue by the Metaverse.”
I vote Braithwhite should be in there somewhere; he’s officially Christopher’s understudy of sorts where writing is concerned.
