((Strobe was created as an homage to my favorite superheroes, Dazzler and Songbird, and my favorite singer, Kylie Minogue, but I work very hard to make her stand out. In the other superhero MMO, she was more of a comic relief character as I only did casual RP and so played up her airhead tendencies - in CO I hope to flesh her out more because I have a lot planned for her.))
Contents
Background
Jordan Shaw was born on March 25, 1985 in Long Island, NY, and moved shortly after to Scarsdale with her father and sister due to her parents' divorce. With a successful surgeon father, she enjoyed a comfortable upbringing. Jordan attended Stuyvesant High School, participating in theater and tennis, and later attended Smith College. Though she and her father had never been close-knit, they got along peacefully until it was time for Jordan to transition into college. A wannabe artist, she had hoped to go to a Rhode Island art school, while her father encouraged her to study something more practical. Although they had reached an agreement - a double major - their relationship was never fully repaired.
Jordan knew from age 12 that she was a mutant with the ability to manipulate energy. She treated her powers with general indifference and hid them until she was accidentally outed as a mutant in college, shunned by her peers, and inducted into a group of militant mutant students. She dated and eventually got engaged to Julian Stone, or Boreas, the de facto leader of the group, who helped her understand and use her abilities and introduced her to the world of vigilantism. The two split up after graduating college and Jordan took a job as a paralegal for a property law firm; eventually she grew tired of her desk job, packed up and returned to New York.
Beginnings
Out of a job and with an empty resumé, Jordan stayed with some of her mutant friends from college, eventually getting sucked into the vigilante lifestyle they led and taking the name Dancefloor. She took modeling gigs by day to support herself while training to refine her powers by night. While her modeling career never took off, she drew attention as a heroine for her flashy powers, good looks, influential style and prominent charity work. After only a few months in the city, she grew very popular and became a public figure representing the superhero community, showing up to events and talk shows regularly and enjoying her status as a fashion icon and tabloid fodder.
While popular, her socialite lifestyle and apparent airhead personality rendered her a joke as a superhero and she was not taken seriously by most criminals. Serial celebrity flings further reduced her credibility and damaged her popularity and reputation so much that she became disgruntled and went into withdrawal.
During a riot on Roosevelt Island in August 2012, her father was killed in the chaos. Unable to cope with her fall from grace, his death, and her guilt that she might have prevented it, Jordan fled once again to her mother's house in upstate New York, moving to Millennium City, MI at her sister's suggestion shortly after.
Millennium City
Jordan lived with her sister for a few months after moving to Millennium City but could not adjust to life in the suburbs and bought a downtown apartment where she now lives with fellow superhero Mister Fifth ((? TBD)). Equipped with a new costume, a new name, and a better grasp on her powers, she has been doing well in Millennium City, recently joining renowned supergroup Eternals, Inc. and trying to re-establish herself as a celebrity and superhero.
Powers
Personality
Quirks
Jordan is reasonably athletic and runs every day.
She is an awful cook and despite her best efforts has failed all the cooking classes she has attempted. This is something she will not admit to anyone.
She has a dog named Lilly. Lilly is one of the few living beings Jordan will openly show affection toward.
That's not her real hair color. She will never tell you what it is.
