Editing SPOILER: Survivor Ideas (section)

==Rosalie Brown==
a kind african-american grandmotherly sort, flying back home to LA after attending the wedding of her daughter. Her only son died young, and her husband ran away while the children were still young, so her daughter is the only family she has left, and unlike your average doting parent, she will spend the trip talking to whomever she is seated next to, about them and their story. She already *knows* her story, she's much more interested in hearing about other people's lives. She tends to get a touch confused in conversation, and will occasionally refer to the person she is speaking to by her son's name (if male) or her daughters (if female). She is heavy-set, but not in the 'must purchase two seats' sort of way, and her hair is shot through with gray and kept in a bun. She has glasses, a wide smile and everything about her seems larger than life, her nose is wide, her lips are full, her cheeks are plump, she just seems a little wider, and somehow bigger, although when she stands, that illusion will end, since she's only a few inches over five foot tall. 
'Rosy' will become one of the more powerful metahumans as a result of the incident, and also one of the most severely affected. As a combination of health factors, fitness and circumstance (sit on a long plane ride, sit in the airport for extended times, sit at her daughters wedding in a binding chair, sit again at the airport, sit again at the plane) she will develop a blood clot in one of her legs that causes her to suffer a stroke when her blood starts rushing later in the scene. Everyone else will start screaming. She'll kibbie, froth at the mouth and pitch into the aisle. She will survive this stroke, losing the use of one of her arms, one of her legs, control of some of her facial features and, most tragically, some of her memory. She will awaken in a surreal state, where her husband never left and her son never died. She will 'see them' at her bedside, and they will be there to help her from that point on, even though she will see them in a state that never occured in her waking life, with her son (Ben) fully grown into the man his father never saw, and her husband (Jimmy) in the prime of his life, long before the responsibilities of being a father scared him away. 
She will have the Weaknesses: Disabled (move 10, cannot run or sprint, only half Strength applies to lifting and carrying) and Fatigues Easily (anything that would render her Fatigued (such as Extra Effort) instead renders her Exhausted, and the use of a Hero Point only removes one of these levels, meaning that she would need two Hero Points, one to go from Exhausted to Fatigued and a second to go from Fatigued to normal). 
She develops Astral Projection +5, with the extras of Telekinesis (Force Field, Ghost Touch / reduced range touch), Possession (Ghost Touch / reduced range - touch), Telepathy (Ghost Touch / reduced range - normal instead of Sight), all of her Extras only being usable in her Astral state for a further Flaw). She is powerless when awake, but spends most of her time 'away' these days anyway. Note that having a Force Field while Astral means that even something that can affect her incorporeal form will find her well-defended... She has the See Invisibility and True Sight Feats (usable even when awake), which is ironic considering how much of her life she now sees under a guise of self-delusion. 
More uniquely, she has a pair of Sidekicks of psionic force. Each is treated as a Construct, with powers of Incorporeal (Continuous / Permanent), Telekinesis (Ghost Touch, Deflection (Deflect Others, Rapid) / Range - Touch), Flight (PS: Super-Flight) and Invisibility. They also have the Disturbing Flaw, but only get half value for this, as they are typically invisible to anyone other than Rosy, who sees them as her beloved son and attentive husband. As they are sentient constructs of psionic force, they are capable of feats that one would normally not consider, such as scouting out an area and returning to Rosy to tell her about it. To those who see them, they do not appear as typical pale white ghostly outlines, they retain full color and lack instead definition, looking like an impressionistic swirl of color as they move about, and seeming to swell out of the background like a bulge in reality, moving like some *thing* under the surface of whatever lies behind them. 
With this prodigous set of powers, she spends her days now dreaming in front of her burnt-out television, as her astral form and her 'menfolk' patrol the neighborhoods around the home that houses her body, cleaning up the streets. On saturdays, she and 'Jimmy' go dancing at the old club on the corner where they met. The club burned down years ago, and a coin-op laundromat now sits there, and anyone doing laundry at that time is treated to the Disturbing sight of her husband and herself dancing through the machines. The owner, a elderly Portugeuse man, has had his sister-in-law come in with blessed cornmeal and other Santeria accoutrements and attempt to lay these ghosts to rest, but to no avail. (He never thought much of his sister-in-law anyway, so he just thinks that she botched it...) 
Rosy carries an inhaler to help with her attacks of short-breathedness. Treat it as Hero's Luck (Flaw: 1 extra Hero Point, only to recover Fatigue, Device) costing a minimum of 1 pp. Naturally this device is useless when she is projecting, since she can't bring it with her. She would have to return to her body, wake up and use the inhaler.
