Hero Datafile: Echo

Maya Lopez is a deaf fighter, performer, and Avenger with photographic reflexes that allow her to copy physical movements after seeing them. She is defined by observation, identity, and the legacies others tried to impose on her, from Kingpin’s manipulation to the Ronin mantle and beyond. She is a precise, emotionally rich street-level hero who can read patterns and mirror opponents.

Power Set: Perfect Physical Echo

Acrobatic Movement d8, Enhanced Reflexes d8, Mimic Fighting Style d10, Peak Human Stamina d8, Weapon Mastery d8

SFX: Copy the Form: When Echo observes another character using a physical combat, acrobatic, weapon, or martial arts technique, she may create a Copied Style asset. Step up the effect die if she has watched them for more than one exchange.

SFX: Mirror Match: When using Mimic Fighting Style against an opponent whose movements she has studied, step up or double Mimic Fighting Style. Remove the highest rolling die and add three dice for the total.

SFX: Read the Body: When Echo reacts against a physical attack from an opponent she can clearly see, add Enhanced Reflexes and step up the effect die on a successful reaction.

SFX: Ronin’s Arsenal: When using swords, nunchaku, thrown weapons, pistols, batons, or improvised weapons, add d6 and step up the effect die.

Limit: Needs to See It: Echo’s mimicry depends on visual observation. Gain 1 PP when darkness, smoke, blinding light, invisibility, sensory confusion, or an unseen attacker prevents her from studying a target’s movements.

Limit: Human Body: Gain 1 PP to step up physical stress from superhuman attacks, explosions, heavy weapons, or overwhelming force.

Power Set: Street-Level Avenger

Covert Movement d8, Investigation d8, Performance Artist d8, Urban Awareness d8

SFX: Reading the Room: When Echo studies body language, spatial patterns, crowd movement, or a staged scene, add d6 and step up the effect die when creating an asset.

SFX: Silent Approach: When using Covert Movement to infiltrate, ambush, escape, or protect someone without being noticed, step up Covert Movement.

SFX: Performance Becomes Combat: When Echo uses dance, rhythm, stagecraft, or physical performance as part of an action scene, add Performance Artist to the pool. On a successful action, create an asset such as Perfect Timing d8, Controlled Breathing d8, or Fluid Footwork d8.

Limit: Misread by Others: Gain 1 PP when someone underestimates, patronizes, isolates, or miscommunicates with Echo because she is deaf, because of her background, or because they assume silence means weakness.

Limit: Kingpin’s Shadow: Gain 1 PP when Echo’s history with Wilson Fisk, Daredevil, Ronin, or the criminal world complicates the mission.
