This is my first character done using information from GURPS Powers. I have probably screwed quite a few things up, so expect revisions.
As with all my write-ups, this is a direct translation, not an update.

Call Hail: Piercing Attack 1d-1 (Area Effect 9[16] yard radius, +200%; Bombardment, -5%; Environmental, -40%; Overhead, +30%; Weather Control, -10%) [6].

Whirlwind: Crushing Attack 2d (Accessibility, Not in a vacuum, -10%; Accessibility, Only when flying, -30%; Area Effect, 12[16] yard radius, +200%; Double Knockback, +20%; Emanation, -20%; Link, +10%; Side Effect, -2 DX, +70%; Weather Control, -10%) + Obscure 5 (vision) [Accessibility, Not in a vacuum, -10%; Accessibility, Only when flying, -30%; Area Effect, 12[16] yard radius, +150%; Emanation, -20%; Link, +10%; Weather Control, -10%) [52]
* Her Whirlwind ability is based on the Twister ability in Powers, modified so that it's always centered on her and only operates while she's in flight.
* I dropped the "Known for posing in Playboy" quirk, since that's obviously a Reputation that affects a vanishingly small group ("People who read Playboys from the late 70s.")
* I gave her a high resistance to her Bloodlust, since it's really not the sort of thing a commanding officer in an international peacekeeping force should succumb to very often.
* Due to rules changes, Area Effect is a fixed set of radiuses (2, 4, 8, 16, etc.) rather than the more flexible numbers that were in place when the character was designed. So I listed both numbers -- I figure you can take the lower ones if you want (as with range and speed advantages) but you're not really getting full value for your points if you do ...
*According to Powers, all Innate Attacks based on Weather Control have to have all three of Area Effect, Bombardment, and Overhead. I ignored this for both her Call Lightning (one big bolt, not a lot of little ones that affect everyone in the area) and Whirlwind abilities ...
Edit: Trying out a different format for complicated abilities.
