Well done~

Getting back into villainy huh? I'm very interested in what led to that decision and what her first day back was like

(from an earlier posting)
The Artificer:
"Ekatrina Ricci (nee Casonia), a matronly soccer mom by day but at night she slips out of the house and becomes The Artificer, costumed villain for hire. After all, someone has to pay for college. And the youngest needs new braces. And then there's the mortgage. And maybe a some 'mad money' for a little fun.

The Artificer's previous villainous career began in in the 80s but she dropped out of sight after a few years. Married. Kids. But money. Always, the money. And with the kids growing up, she was getting so bored. Her homebrewed technomagic and her talent for improvisation and misdirection keep an old girl out of trouble but that need for speed keeps getting her back into it.

Thank God, her husband, Marcus, doesn't know about her double life.... does he?"

Apocryphal conversation between Marcus Ricci and his daughter Esgold about mom... *

"Dad, look at this, Mom's definitely a supervillain! The Artificer!"
"Yeah, I know."
"You what?"
"How many times do you think she can bring home someone who looks JUST like that super-heroine on the TV all tied up before I figure it out?"
"But you-"
"It makes her happier to think she's getting away with it."

Oh yeah, I forgot about that post! Well, that doesn't change the fact that she's quickly becoming one of my favorite supervillains

Sexy wolf and a sexy bird too!

You have to look healthy if you want that villain hire you for job. An aging mercenary that doesn't look able to go neck to neck with hero are a liability.
