Biography

The Begginigs'

Amber Maddel born from Anna O'Neil, a chef baker of modest succes, and Rupert Maddel, a Cop of NY. Since her youth she showed to be a very empathic person... animals came to her naturally and she managed to dialogue someway with them, without a proper language of course, only trough empathy feelings. Her amazing empathy, thou, was not a help at all, no, indeed it was a real yoke... everithing was heavier on her... no filter to ease the true meanings of others. She knew when her school buddies were not saying the truth to her, she knew and felt when they were thinking that she was stupid and all... For this reason, the lovely and puffy girl, grow lonely for the most.

"My Name is Pulsar!"

Rupert, in the next years, got deeper and deeper in alcholism and, suddenly, he began to be violent and beating Anna more and more frequently... at first, Amber was only a witness-victim of those violent acts, suffering for the brutality on her mother... but when she turned ten years, things got worse. Anna never discover it, but Rupert abused Amber... he did so a couple of times a year since she was twelve... what gave Amber the strenght to go on were Comic Books: heroes that saves everyone, heroes that never failed, heroes that always did the right thing. What stopped Rupert was Amber herself, that called the police a night that Rupert was beating Anna very bad.

Rupert was arrested and of course dishonorably discharged from the Police of New York. However, Amber never told anyone regarding the abuse he did on her. Her name was then legally changed in Amber O'Neil.

From that day on, Amber turned her attention from the comic books heroes, to the real ones: to see men that acted with honor and never giving up was her way to keep her smile on. And her smile was what gave her the twist, finally approaching life with ease: if the world was bad, then all she had to do was to smile and bring happines around her... nobody could withstand happiness and affection, tenderness... with this personal consideration she discovered female heroes, discovering that there were many girls who use to "rock!" far more than many male heroes.

"Miss Fluffy! Stop!"

Her life got quiet happy when she moved with her mom to Millennium City, yes, she still suffered horrible nightmares remembering her father, but her gold heart and joyfully mood gave her the courage to hang on, 'till the day that she manifested her powers... for some years she believed the story that a PRIMUS scientist told her about something she ate and that contained an altered DNA sample of Sapphire, but that was a lie the scientist told her only in order to give her more trust in herself, truth is she is just a meta-human.

The PRIMUS scientist, under the name of "Doc", helped her in getting used to her extraordinary abilities.

Almost a year after, when she was 16 years old and with the name of Pulsar, she found the courage to ask the Eternals to join them: almost nobody of the leaders were sure that a teen ager could be good for the hero life, but by both knowing that it was better to have her "in" so they could check on her instead of leaving the small girl risk her life alone AND unable to resist her cuteness and purity of her heart, they recruited the little girl.

Due to her cuteness and young age, The Eternals took advantage of her image for commercials, tv spots an interviews... during one of these events she took off her mask revealing her identity to the public.

Time passed and Pulsar slowly become an asset for the team, one of the most valuable and important members as she grow in self comfidence and control over her powers. But the team faced many troubles: some members died (some were great friends for Pulsar), some were kidnapped and when freed were no more the same, one betrayed them... and things got even worse when Micheal Gold, the leader of the Team and the provider of economic "push" trough his company, Gold Inc, had to face a huge economic problem with his company.

Of course, even if with a lot of sadness, the group was disbanded.

Pulsar, at first, found herself lonely and sad (especially since in the same period her mother died during a riot in westside) but she didn't loose her spirit and she focused on heroing, teaming up with extremely powerfull and famous heroes, such as The Champions, The All American, The Peacekeepers and The StarForce (and others around the globe).

Today'

Today Pulsar is a well known hero (even if not "Class Double A") and she is a part of the UNITY, working for the most only with them.

Lately, thou, she have said on Live Tv that she is recruiting Teen Heroes for a special program of the UNITY, the program is called Rising Star, the name had been picked honoring a similar initiative that the Eternals had years ago.

Powers

"Wanna Try me?"

Pulsar is able to generate or manipulate Force Energy, mainly she use her abilty to create force shields or sphere to protect her and her allies or to cage her enemies, but she is sometimes forced to use it in a more rude way, blasting force bolts or rays and even waves to knock up the strongers one or destroy something heavy. She can also heals her allies or wounded civilians with this pure energy but, far more than with her other manipulation of this energy, this particular use is heavily modified by her emotions... she is currently trying to gain more control on her powers.

Equipment

Pulsar do not rely on a real advanced equipment, of course she have her UNITY comlink, but probably her main important device is the Rejuvenating Cube, a rare and very expensive item built by Harmon's Labs that almost immediatly restore the energy and healt of the one who activate it; this extraordinary invention was gifted to her by James Harmon IV himself, for her effort and help during a crisis that involved some dimensional rift inside Harmon's Labs; the Rejuvenating Cube seem to be eternal, but have 24h of cooldown once used.

Another interesting equipment she have is the dual shields made of Questionite that the RCMP Steelhead Division gave her in order to thank Pulsar for her help in Canada, back in the day she used to always wear them, with the Infinity Orbit emblem of The Eternals, nowadays she prefer to go outside without them.

Last but not least, Pulsar posses an armor that UNTIL gave her in order to complete some support missions in Monster Island... since Pulsar did really a good job and she always answer when called, UNTIL chose to leave the armor to her... but Pulsar prefer to not use that, both because it's heavy and because, since she feel that is not "properly her armor" but is a property of UNTIL, she prefer to use it only when helping UNTIL (or UNITY).

Weaknesses

Physical

Beware my cuteness!

Pulsar was the classical "soft" girl, always lack in gymnastic and athletic ability... not only she totally lacked of any kind of super strenght or agility, but she was even poor for a normal human. Since without her Force Shields on she was "fresh meat" or, to say it in a more funny way, "dead as dodo", UNITY pretended that she was trained: thanks to some former heroes now she is at least skilled in dodging and self defense... she is still not able to throw a decent punch (or a slap, or anything actually) but she have reached the basics of fighting-defense.

On the other hand, talking of her powers, Pulsar most dangerous problem is actually the risk of dying by a massive use of her powers... her energy manipulation consume her body, literaly erasing all her calories and proteins, for this reason she risked her life many times: when she pretend too much from herself, not wanting to leave her allies or sorta, she fell uncounscious, drained by her powers and completely vulnerable and defenceless. (for this very reason, Harmon IV, gifted her with the Rejuvenating Cube)

Psycological'

Pulsar trust ANYONE (well, mostly). She is sweet 'till her bones and if someone say he or she will change or sorta like that, she will simply smile and go to hug that one... back in the day she could have been fooled even by, let's say, Doctor Destroyer pretending that he only needed a hug.. luckily, after years of experience, she grow a bit of sense... even if she is still easy to outmanuver with words. But mostly, her psicological weakness is given by her past abuse suffered by her father when she was little. A thing she rarely talk about and that almost no one knows (Rare exceptions includes: Eternals, Inc. Rhapsody and the ally Lady Legion from the Global Defence Force).

The main problem about being psycologically weak, is that her powers rely on her emotions to work properly:
-Happiness increase her healing ability
-Rage increase her blast ability
-Calm increase her shielding ability
-Fear or Sadness weaken all her abilities 'till the completely loss of her powers

NOTE: on a couple of occasions her fear and anger mixed up at a very high level of stress, the result were terrifying since she destroyed everything in a radious of almost 600 yards with an immense shock burst mixed with an inversion of polarity... the decoy left the area with random gravity for at leadt one hour.

• Puppy Eyes - Amber have a pair of very wide and cute eyes, she tell a lot of what she feel and think trough her eyes and, for the most, people get somewhat hipnotized by her eyes.

• Cheerful Child - The first thing you learn about Amber is that her smile is the most contagious ever: she smile and giggle in a so much sincere and joyfully way that's hard to resist her... afterall, even if she is a teenager and no more a little child, Amber still act a lot in a silly-childish way (mostly because her youth has been stolen by her father).

Personality

• Shy - Even if not super shy as once she was, she is still all blushy when subjects become more "adult" or even only when she hear bad language.
• Friend of all living creatures - Pulsar have a sort of 'power' inside her that make everybody love her: animals, strangers, adults, childrens... it dosen't matter who or what is looking at Pulsar, until someone or something can feel emotions will for sure start to love her as a sister or a close friend.
• Wide Eyed Idealistic - Amber is sweet and nice, sure, but mostly she is the quintessential incarnation of hope. She always hang on and think that things will turn good sooner or later, thanks to her and other's heart.

Morality and Philosophy

• Pacifist - Pulsar reject violence, she always try to not hurt anyone and during battles her main objective is to protect her allies. She always try to cage her enemies in force fields and she almost cry when she is forced to fight in a rude way.
• Pure of heart - One of her most high good traits is for sure her purity: Pulsar will never fall in desire for something and always think about the others before herself, no matter what.
• Like in the comic books - Her pure heart made her almost the perfect hero, not the 'strongest', not because she 'always succeed'... she is what a hero mst be: perfect. She always put the others first and never surrender or fall on her ideal.

Combat and Skills

• Flight - the first way Pulsar manage to do with her powers was to learn how to fly, not very fast to be honest, but she think it's the greatest thing in the world.
• Force Energy, Barrier Warrior, Healing Hands - Her power is to generate and manipulate force energy, mainly in sphere, bolts and waves, to protect/heals herself and others or to knock up and/or cage the enemies.
• Taste like Diabetes - Pulsar's abilities surround her of azure super-tiny shiny bubbles... and since her powers are heavily influenced by her emotions, the more she is happy, the more kawaii and shiny-cute she will appear surrounded by a bazillion of sparkling bubbles.

Quirks

• A real geek - Pulsar is a geek: she has tons of action figures, comic books and others silly but popular stuff. She is a cosplayer and she has a lot of outfits inspired by her favourite heroes.

Background and Events

• Abused - the most deep secret of Pulsar: her violent dad, that was a Cop, abused her when she was only 10 years old. It's the secret she hides from even herself but that force her to be scared about males.
• The Pollyanna - Amber have faced many bad things in her short life BUT she still smile, she still believe in others and she keep trusting and hoping in a better future.
• Break the cutie - It's sad, but the more Amber goes on as a hero, the more she face personal loss and so on. She faced many and very tragic losses.

Character and Motivations

• Poor girl - Almost no one know the truth about her past, but who discover it is hard that dosen't feel the urge to hug her and protect Pulsar from the rest of the world.
• Beware The Nice Ones - In a couple of occasions, where she was extremely anger and she was even very afraid of loosing some dear friends, she showed a terryfing distructive ability... she still don't know how she managed to do so, but she is kept under heavy surveillance and monitored daily from that day on.
