HEALTH: 2/4
ENERGY: 9/27
REGEN: 4/10
ACTIONS **
Close Combat: 1
(Str.bonus or Wpn.modifier)
-Self-Defense
Ranged Combat: 1
(Wpn.modifiers)
-Thrown objects
Acrobatics: 1
(Agl.bonus)
Reality Fabric Manipulation: 10
(Int.bonus)
-As Mastery of Reality
-Super-Efficient
-Unlimited Create/Manipulate (often used to create a huge amount of useless/funny/ridiculous gadgets
-Force Blast (many and varied)
-Accumulate Energy for major effect
-No Normal Defense (ignores most known defenses; only defense is "Immunity to Reality Distortion")
-Variable additional effects (may add up to +6 CL of advantages on any given use of this power; for example, he could add, say, "2x damage" and "Area Effect" to a blast for free, although even in that case he can't exceed the maximum range of this power, read below)
-Enhance/Add Abilities, Actions, Modifiers (the Mask may add up to this action's AN [10] to any and all of his Abilities as a free action every panel before he does anything else. He may also increase the AN/MN of any Action or Modifier he already have, or add a new Action/Modifier he didn't already have at this action's AN (and by doing so, he can exceed the normal 9 actions limit). As usual, he may add up to +6 CL of Advantages to any such Action or Modifier for free. The mask may add/enhance [up to this action's AN] Actions and/or Modifiers at once only.)
-Shape Shifting (at AN, once every panel at most; may assume appearances larger or smaller than human beings; weight and mass shift as willed by up to AN. An onlooker cannot "see through" the "disguise", because the Mask truly transforms into the chosen form.)
-Transform surrounding area (when using this power to alter an area, the Mask does not have to create one object at a time; he can change the whole 500 yards area around him in an instant.)
-Duplicate any known Action or Modifier that isn't already covered by the previous explanations; in effect, the Mask can do anything. He can duplicate himself, transform himself by touch using any materials, see through the fourth wall, alter the world around him, etc.
-Limited range (although the Mask can alter and do pretty much anything on himself and around him, his powers affect only an area of 500 yards around him. It isn't much of a limitation, of course, but it means there are some things he can't do. He couldn't, for example, alter the memory of every person in the world, but he could do so to anyone up to 500 yards away from him.)
-Cannot transform/hurt/alter Gods or Cosmic Entities, and Vice-Versa (its power coming from the night god of Mischief, Loki, it allows the Mask to do basically anything, anywhere and to anyone... but not Loki or other gods and cosmic beings, for even Loki's powers cannot so easily defeat his fellow gods. HOWEVER, the Mask can still alter himself and his surroundings, making him still a match for most gods in a fight. it's just that he can't affect them directly. On the plus side, this works in both ways, granting the Mask himself Immunity to Reality Distortion... save his own, of course.)
-NOTE: Although his powers are limited to 500 yards "around him", he can still use actions and modifiers up to AN without restriction. For exemple, if he wanted to teleport, he wouldn't be restricted to 500 yards. It's just that when he wants to directly affects things around him, he is limited to 500 yards only.
Green Twister: 8
(Spd.bonus)
-Super-Efficient
-Spinning superhumanly quickly on himself, the Mask becomes a green twister moving at incredible speeds and smashing through obstacles in a very cartoonish way, leaving a hole shaped like its current appearance behind.
-As Unstoppable, but also allows the Mask to travel at a Flight Speed equal to the stones played in (up to AN). He must still be in contact with the ground/water/whatever, and as such is restricted to vertical travel with this ability (or climbing on walls, ceilings, etc).
-2x Damage
Business: 3
(Int.bonus)
-Bank clerk
-Economics
-Make a deal
General Knowledge: 2
(Int.bonus)
-The Mask
-Writing skills
Vehicle Operations: 2
-Light vehicles
-Motorcycles
Social skills: 4/7
-Socialize
-Humor
-Mr. Nice Guy
-Bank Clerk
-Charm
-Inane blabbering
-Intimidate
** The Mask can alter his existing ANs/add new actions up to his Reality Fabric Manipulation AN, as explained in Reality Fabric Manipulation action.
MODIFIERS
Chosen of the Mask +2
-Stanley Ipkiss is the "chosen wielder" of the Mask. As such, he got better in using it with time, learning how to use it even during day and to control himself a bit more while wielding it. The modifier adds to any action used with the powers of the Mask, stones come from GP. Additionally, the Mask will always mystically return to him if lost, discarded or stolen in a day at most, and much less time if possible. The Mask can manipulate events to return to its wielder as quickly as possible if it feels like it. The only way to prevent this is with the power of a god of equal or greater power than Loki's... something that does not please the God of Mischief.
Rapid Regeneration/"Variable" Instant Healing Factor
-The Mask is absolutely immune to any kinds of attacks... although most of the time, he chooses to "look like he's hit" and not heal the wounds immediately if only for the comical effect (drinking juice so it pours through bullet holes in his chest is a good example...).
Instant Reconstitute Self
-Again, the Mask cannot be killed and is immune to any effects, although they might look like they affect him if he so wishes.
Energy Battery 2 / 5
Deep Reserves +1 / +2
Mental Defense +2/Insanity
-As Mental Immunity; as the Mask, Ipkiss is immune to any and all attacks, including mental assaults. Besides, his thoughts can be so chaotic while wearing the Mask that it can be actually dangerous for a telepath to even try to reach into his mind at the time.
Self-Contained Lifeform
Reflexive Dodge +1/+4
Toughness +1
Wealth: 2
-Successful bank clerk, plus a few extras from the bad guys Stanley defeats...
CHALLENGES
-Too nice for his own good (-2; often, Stanley prefers others to be happy over and instead of his own happiness. Too often, actually. This makes him easier to manipulate. Also includes "Compulsion to stick up for underdog".)
-Psychological (-2; secretly wishes to be great, to be renowned, to be noticed. Stanley would love to be reckless, showoff and loved for it, but he just can't do that normally. The Mask, luckily for him, allows him to do just that.)
-Won't break the law (-1; Stanley Ipkiss wouldn't ever do anything against the law. The same thing cannot be said about his alter-ego, however...)
-Unlucky (-1; Stanley does not benefit often from Lady Luck, making his life more difficult at times. This works as the "Clumsiness" challenge; like Stanley's other challenges, the Mask does not suffer from this disadvantage at all.)
-Self-appointed duty (-3; to fight crime and protect the innocents as "the Mask"!)
-Reluctant to kill (-2; no matter what, Stanley isn't a murderer, and he wouldn't kill an opponent, not even as the Mask... although he would gladly humiliate and/or terrify such enemies.)
-Clown (-1/-3; Stanley can't help joking around even when the situation is far from funny. Saying the same for the Mask would be the udnerstatement of the century, if not the millenia.)
-Release the inner self (-3; as the Mask, Stanley becomes much smarter but at the temporary loss of part of his sanity, inhibitions and self-control, essentially making him everything he wants to be as Stanley Ipkiss but wouldn't dare to be. Although this isn't bad in and of itself, sometimes his new personality takes over a bit too much and makes him do things he'd rather not, maybe causing trouble for him later.)
EQUIPMENT
The Mask
This incredibly powerful artefact is an apparently ordinary, if ancient, wooden mask. Created by Loki and dropped in the world of men for the simple fun of it, it reveals its powers once worn by a human (and only a human. No superhuman, mutant or metahuman can use its powers in any way), in which case the wielder transforms into a green, bald headed version of himself with a large smile and white, perfect teeth. Wearing it at night unlocks all of the Mask's powers and abilities, and cause the wielder to suffer from the "Release the inner self" challenge, essentially making the wearer into a god-like version of his inner self. Stanley Ipkiss was chosen as its official wielder, however, and can wear it even during the day. The only way to "defeat the Mask" is to remove it somehow, but doing so is exceedingly difficult, if not impossible (it is also not a "weak point" known to most). One must exceed the Mask's Durability + Defense with an appropriate action to remove it, assuming such a being can get close enough, of course. It cannot, for example, be "knocked off" with a bullet, for it is wrapped around the wielder's head like thick skin. It is often easier to trick the wielder into removing it... and even that is exceedingly difficult as well, for the wielder of the Mask of Loki is usually as much a trickster as the god himself, making it unlikely to be fooled by 'mere' mortals.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
STORY: Stanley Ipkiss was a simple bank clerk with absolutely no success with women, not much of a personal life and few friends aside his best pal Charlie and his little dog Milo. A very nice guy to pretty much everyone but himself, Stanley lacked the cheek and the nerve to accomplish his dreams, and was bullied by pretty much everyone he knew of like Mrs. Peenman, his landlady; his boss at the bank and even his car mechanics who made him pay for car problems his car didn't have. He was a nice, romantic guy, but he seemed cursed to never keep a part of the cake for himself.
This, however, changed entirely when he accidentally found a mysterious mask floating in the canal after a fateful engine failure with his car. When he put it on, he transformed into a green-headed version of his inner self, a confident, showoff ladies' man with nearly unlimited power over reality. At first, he couldn't control himself and did some things he'd rather forget, but in the end, he managed to pull it together, save his new girlfriend Tina and a lot of people from gangster and mafiosi Dorian Tyrell, redeeming himself for his past crimes. When he tried to throw the mask away for good, he found out the mask always came back to him no matter what, and his friend Charlie convinced him it meant something, that he was meant to be the Mask. So Stanley kept it, and still protects humankind in times of need using the powers and the insane sense of humor of the god of Mischief's mask.
