What can I say? I had a productive morning.

Now, keeping with the "preteen Avengers/JLA" shtick, I have the super-normal (Captain Kid) and the powerhouse (Girlpower), so what's next?

Firepower.

Now, my current mascot, Maisy, already looks pretty young, especially in her original "Mazinger-Z" configuration, so it isn't her apparent age that's the problem, nor is her appearance, which I already adapted a while back and am just tweaking here (so far, I REALLY like it!). No, the elephant in the room as far as this character is concerned is that she's a lolicon porn character, which is, in fact, the exact WRONG type of "kid-friendly" (as in Amber Alert territory).

Bear with me, however...in a Whateley Academy story I was writing before the first of many burnouts in the past year ("Maisy Gets Schooled"), I made her porno background a pivotal part of her character by having her use the fact that her legendary inventor "father" essentially created her as a loli fuck-doll and the she has several terabytes of kiddy smut stored on her internal drive.

So, what does she do with this knowledge? Why, she does what any self-preservation inclined yet still Three-Laws enabled gynoid would do when faced with the company her creator founded, who are just ITCHING to get their hands on his last, greatest creation and disassemble it for the gold mine of patentable goodness she contains: she uses it to blackmail them into submission and installing her as co-CEO with her human "sister," the daughter of her creator. It's not a bad bargain for them, however, especially since she lets them non-terminally study her in order to earn her keep.

Again, not THAT "kid-friendly," I admit, but it works rather well in-context, and it stays true to what makes Maisy, well, Maisy. As for her overclocked sex drive, well, I can keep that at a low background hum by making her a flirty tomboy, kind of a tsundere-type (pardon my weeaboo) who is prone to making passes at older heroes and heroines (as she points out to her teammates, "I'm a machine. What does it matter to me if they're a guy or a girl?"), plus she has the resources to fund the team, a'la Iron Man and Batman for their respective teams.

As for her name, I thought her creator in this world would be a Tony Stark type named "Wardroid," whoch would make her name "Wardoll" work rather well.
