It's been a while since I did one of these, but I just discovered that the entire seasons of Carmilla have now been collected into single videos, so I thought it might be a good time to revisit some old friends.
I think for these versions I am going to set it a little after the Carmilla movie and long after the end of Season 3. So I guess three years now. Wow.
In a Mutants & Masterminds game, Laura is now a world-renown reporter in the Lois Lane mold, with a knack of uncovering supernatural goings-on. Carm is still living on a fortune that has also collected 340+ years of compound interest. And of course, helping Laura, because she knows that in true Lois Lane fashion, Laura is going to get herself into trouble.
Given the number of adaptations of Carmilla over the years I might even riff on that with one of her less than savory relatives show up. Maybe an older brother. Someone who is evil, threatens her fortune and whom Carmilla would hesitate to kill outright at first. That is till he puts the moves on Laura.
For these builds, I am going to rely heavily on the
Mutants & Masterminds Deluxe Hero's Handbook,
Power Profiles, and of course the
Supernatural Handbook.
I figure that Laura is a bit higher in PL than your average reporter. She has saved the world and she knows Krav Maga. Carmilla is a very, very old vampire (340 years old!) and she has seen a lot in her years. She was alive for a while thanks to a "gift" from Inanna and is a vampire again.
