Chance (Dark Champions - New Venice)

Took your advice on the powers and the stats. Reduced stats down to your suggested level and replaced my power set with a multipower. The focus present for the powers is those golden eyes of fate (magical artifacts rather than simply alternative organs, so they can be removed if he is held down like a glass set would be and people attempt to steal them to gain a portion of the power of fate) His transformation is a magical one, inherent magical that hides the artifact and it starts pouring magic into Chance. His eyes give off an unnatural glow and he is easily detectable via magical detection. When he pushes his powers, gold nerves stand out all over his body.

Gradually as he builds up his experience, he will buy off the Focus limitations to his power (at that point he will have fully bonded with artifact and integrate it into his body) Until then, someone can still steal them without killing him.

Background

Born Marcus Shelby to a rather unremarkable couple in London's East End. His parents simply were not particularly remarkable or note worthy in anyway, which made them some of the best thieves in London's history. They managed a number of rather brilliant robberies that to this day have not been discovered and managed to retire without being caught despite it all. They lived modestly but comfortably on a fraction of their stolen funds, and raised Marcus along with his five siblings well in their own way. Their children took to these lessons like fish to water, though each with their own style to it. Marcus was the youngest boy and his twin sister Kathryn were something special indeed, as both of them were quite good looking and charming from an early age. And under their parents careful guidance they learned to cultivate that as a key to open so many doors.

As both a family and a crew they operated like a well old machine, but when his parents retired in full the siblings all went their own ways in the world. Marcus had always had a grand streak of the Robin Hood (from whom the Shelby's privately claimed ancestry) in him and that kept him working with a far higher profile than his siblings, which is one of the major reasons that he stays out of Britain to this day.

________________________________________________________________________

Flowing eyes are not foci, unless they can ne grabbed and taken away.

Only in Hero ID applied when the character has to change appear and/or costume or the power doe snot work. Glowing eyes is just considered the visible effect of the power. Powers are assumed to have a visible effect unless brought as invisible

I took the extra points from "Warrior of Luck." A 7 OCV and DCV before martial arts bonuses is pretty healthy.

I thought an inaccessible focus was on that could be removed but can't be disarmed. They can be grabbed and removed, like a glass eye would be able to. I could see how that might be a bit body horror. I get what you are saying about only in heroic form though.
