Idea's needed

Seriousy:

Elemental Control: Gothic romance inspired powers.
(Or maybe a multi-power)

Darkness Generation (I.E "Flash")
Forcefield (Probably with only resistance to Energy Attacks)
Drain: Endurance
Ego Attack: (Limitation: Only feelings of despair/lonliness)
Images: Limitation: images of horror.

Common limitation: All powers connected to physical cloud manifestation.

She would basically generate a creepy black "cloud" around her that acts as
a force field, drains energy, and generally freaks people out.

Not sure why the force field, that doesn't sound relevant
-- goth is sort of mired in vampire tradition

none of that speak force field
But one might think about the 'feeling of hopelessness' idea some, or
at least the 'feeling of apathy' or 'lack of control', some sort of
limited
mind control...
That bespeaks a possible a PRE Drain
The darkness might not be so bad, might make the character more playable
The 'dead' kind of thing might call for a 'resistance to pain', that is
less likely
to be stunned - higher CON and CON only to not be stunned.

Not sure I even buy the 'unusual looks', it's too common these days.

That's the old "I want to be different just like everyone else" kind of
thing...

In keeping with the 'goth' theme one might assume the character has
a disad - sadomasachism/likes pain (some of them, not all of them,
do) and maybe buy regeneration so they can play this a bit 'over the
top' for fun role-playing.

And that might be how they defend themselves - rather than
a force-field or being a brick, they regenerate their damage. So
they could have some extra stun and extra body with invisible
bought as an advantage...

Then they might pick up a bunch of 'night' skills like
shadowing and stealth, and maybe even the ability to 'go invisible
but only in shadows'

Other psychs might be 'always seeks attention' (one of the
primary reasons Goth's dress up from my observation, but
that's a limited observation).

Then you could include an No Range/AOE No Conscious Control
0-End Persistent/Always on (depending on edition) Invisible power
- "Creeps People Out" bought as a mental transform, 'mind' to
'creeped out mind', and you only need a few dice as it only has to effect
the 'normals'.

Buy some presence defense (acts blase about everything) and
some mental defense.

Buy a bit of street-fighting and street contacts (Goth Community) and
you might be off and running with a usable character...
