When you make a wish upon a star you never know if it is going to come true. That is, of course, unless you are Faye Carrano. A young girl growing up in the rougher parts of Millennium City, Faye always dreamed big. She loved to watch about the adventures of the multitude of masked crime fighters who diligently worked to protect the planet. So it took a wish to one day join their ranks. Amazingly, her wish to the night stars was answered, and Faye found herself possessed by the spirit of Hope. With the words: ""Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight... I wish I may, I wish I might... have the wish I wish tonight", Faye finds herself turned into the fantastic COSMIC GLORY, one of the most amazing young heroines the world has seen!

OOC Notes: The Cosmic Glory is a hero created by @Angelight and is her main hero she plays. It is a character lovingly created in inspiration of heroes such as Captain Marvel and bits of Wonder Woman. She is also a concept that derives of space itself such as comets and other wonders of the universe. The literal cosmic glory of the universe. Not only that but using the rhyme, "star light, star light. first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might. Have the wish I wish tonight!" Her personal 'Shazam' to change to and from the Cosmic Glory. Most of this information should be considered OOC.

Make a Wish! Cosmic Glory's Hopeful Start!

Before she was the Cosmic Glory, she was Faye Carrano. She lived in the worst part of Millennium City and her mother worked two jobs just for the two of them to survive. Faye got herself up to school and even made her own lunch every single day. Money was tight but she had her best friend, Brad Jones, and the love of super heroes. She watched them fly through the sky and cut out newspaper clippings of every hero saving the day. While she couldn't afford comic books, her walls were littered with newspaper clippings of super heroes. Life wasn't perfect but Faye counted her blessings.

Then, one day, everything changed.

It was around Christmas time. Her mother was home from work and had taken Faye to let her deliver her letter to Santa Claus. It was a magical time of year and Faye always loved how beautiful the city looked at this time of year. While waiting in line, though, the festivities were interrupted by Black Harlequin and his big bear, Clarence. Chaos erupted all over the place. Faye and her mother almost became victims to being stomped on by Clarence's "play time." It wasn't to be, though. Faye watched in all as heroes from all over the city came and saved their lives. When the Black Harlequin was stopped, one flying hero had grabbed Faye's Christmas letter and gave it back to her personally. Things went as normal but Faye was touched by what she witnessed that day.

That night, Faye couldn't sleep. The events that happened that day went over her mind over and over again. She opened the window and looked up to the smog covered sky. In her shock, Faye saw a star shining brightly despite the smog and the lights of the city. Faye clasped her hands together and made her wish.

That night, Faye wished to be a super hero so she could protect innocent people and even other heroes that needed it.

That star in the night sky was not a star but the soul of a prince fleeing from his dimension with a tiny flickering flame of hope latched around him. Her wish reached his ears and not only was he touched by the girl's hopeful wish, the flames shined in such a way he hadn't seen before. With a smile, he chose to grant her wish.

The next day, Faye spotted a couple getting robbed by a couple of thieves at knife point. She hid in the alley way and, for some reason or another, found herself uttering out the same works as before.

In that moment, the cosmic flames encompassed her and Faye changed into a beautiful heroine of black and gold with bright flaming blue eyes. Faye watched herself punch out the thieves in no time flat and was swarmed by people, thanking her for the rescue. While she was stunned by what had happened, she heard someone ask, "Who are you?"

Faye stood there for a long moment before she smiled.

And, thus, the Cosmic Glory came to be.

Trivia Time: A copy of Cosmic Glory's unauthorized, one issue only manga comic in Japan, Uchu Eiko, costs collectors as much as 200 dollars.

As the Cosmic Glory, her child like side shows through. She becomes awe struck to the new things she gets to see and experience as a hero and will grow horrified at some of the things villains will do. Never the less, her resolve in justice and to protect the public is absolute! She will put her life on the line if she had to protect anyone's life, including another hero if it came right down to it. She takes her job as a superhero very seriously.

Outside of the heroic form, Faye is a huge tomboy. Although she grew out of the cootie phase in the unexpected death of her mother, she still has some growing up to do still. She loves comic books, video games and watching cartoons on television. Faye always hangs out with her best friend, Brad Jones, on the weekends and even playing a little bit of baseball with anyone who would want to play with her.

Faye is also a fiercely independent kid. Due to living in near poverty through the years, she learnt to cook for herself and is constantly doing chores around the house. Its almost an obsession to make sure every single thing is clean and not a speck of dirt is left behind.

She went into temporary retirement after Galtoid the Infallible's arrest to focus on her studies in high school. With her senior year closing, Faye has returned to the scene as the Cosmic Glory in January of 2015. Faye is as optimistic as ever and has matured slightly over the years. Her love of comic books and action movies hasn't changed though she has developed a love for cooking.

NOTE: Take this as OOC information! While it is known to the Cosmic Glory, by now, it would take time to others to realize or be told about her powers!

Cosmic Flame of Hope

A tiny, little blue flame burns with the power of hope itself! This cosmic flame was the original host to Prince Frendel Somara, from another dimension, and was passed down to Faye on that fateful night. Once she shouts, "Star light, star bright. First star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might. Have the wish I wish tonight!" The flame within her encompasses her and explodes outward, becoming the Cosmic Glory!

The flame is linked to her abilities. So long as Cosmic Glory is filled with hope and positive emotions, as well as surrounded by others filled with hope and positive emotions, the flame and her powers grow stronger as well.

• Super Strength: Able to defy weight limitations of her own, she will hit hard and is able to lift things twice her size. This allows her to go against even the strongest of super villains with ease.

• Invulnerability: With enough positive emotion and hope, the flames grant her able to be invulnerable. Not even the strongest of bullets can pierce through her and she can take blows almost like a pro-wrestler!

• Flight: Like a comet in the sky, she is able to soar through the air and hover about in the air. When in flight, the cosmic flame is always surrounding her and leaves a trail behind her. If anyone ever needs to know Cosmic Glory is coming, all they need is to look for the 'comet' in the sky.

• Space Flight: This also allows her to be able to fly in space without needing a suit. For reasons unknown, she doesn't need to breathe in space and is perfectly capable to fly around. She's like a literal comet when flying through space.

The Cosmic Flame of Hope itself is always encompassed in her fists or shines around her when she fights. If any villain, 'evil' or with any malicious intent, their contact with the flame will be a powerful burn against them. It burns 'evil' with a passion and the stronger the horrific intent, or 'evil', the more the flame will hurt them.

OOC NOTE: This is subjective. When encountered with the flame, you can roleplay out how the flame will burn you. It will not be forced upon you. Just take note of it if you come in contact with her flame.

However, those with kindness in their heart and soul, 'good' with no malicious intent, the flame will feel cool and comforting to the touch. It will soothe them and touching it might give a gentle boost in hopefulness in their personality. It will fade after a while.

Cosmic Glory can and will use the flame if she knows her opponent will be burned by it. However, she doesn't know the extent her cosmic flame can go and just what it is capable of. As far as Faye knows, she's just scratched the surface. She could learn as time goes on.

Boxing & Light Martial Arts

When she wishes to become a super hero, Faye never expected it to come true over night. Through the years, Faye knew she could not simply learn by flailing her fists into her foes and pray for a hit. With great power came with great responsibility. Through the years, Faye signed up for self defense classes in martial art classes and used that to her advantage. While swift, it didn't feel "right" to Faye. Eventually, she signed up to take boxing lessons and its what she still takes to this day. Now through both methods, she's developed a style that mixes the two slightly. Boxing to let her punch hard and fast all the while employing what she learned in martial arts to move about as best as she can. She isn't an expert at all in either of these fields but its enough so she knows where to land her fists and use it well with her super powers.

Despair

While positive emotions and hope will strengthen Cosmic Glory, negative emotions will weaken her. When weakened enough, it causes changes into Cosmic Glory.

• Normal Strength: Her super strength is the last to go if weakened enough. Her super strength returns to normal and all she can do is based on the strength she would have in her normal form.

• Vulnerability: This is the first to go when weakened and she won't be able to take blows as if it were nothing.

• Loss of Form: If there is too much, she will change back into Faye Carrano and be unable to revert back until strengthened back up.

Despair is the worst out of them all. It can cut hope in two if it were strong enough. This is her kryptonite and what hurts her cosmic flame the most. Rumor has it someone created a fire version of despair by complete accident. Its just a rumor, though... is it?

Underwater

Despite the ability to breathe in space, she is incapable of breathing underwater and requires a diving suit. No one can explain why.

Cosmic Glory and the Protectors of the World.

These are the people she has either befriended or has been working with to ensure the public is protected. Either affiliates or people she has grown close to, they are the ones she isn't afraid to call on or heed their call when they need the help.

Groups

• Aegis of Justice: The Cosmic Glory's first huge case she participated in was the return of Superior. With a drive to save Small Girl, a hero about the same age as her as well as hearing what he was capable of, she rallied as many heroes as she could to face his wrath head on. This impressed The Peacemaker at the time and referred her to Mr. Indomitable. She fought under their banner for a time before she went solo for a while. Eventually, with Thundrax's nemesis rising up to threaten the Aegis of Justice and Jim himself, she rejoined their ranks in order to protect him as well as fight alongside her old friends. It was where she worked until the Aegis was disbanded.

• Circle of Justice:: Despite the similar name, it is a group of veteran superheroes that are called to help in big cases. It was formed by Thundrax and has called the heroes to action on many occasions. Recently, Cosmic Glory has gotten the call and has attended to the mission on the moon and the mission to save the national anthem from changing to "America, the Conqueror." She will continue to assist them as well as the Canadian hero. Upon the Cosmic Glory's return in January 2015, she's intending to lend her assistance to the Circle of Justice and Thundrax once more!

• Protectors of the World: Cosmic Glory joined the Protectors in mid 2015 after having helped them time and time again in several missions. Ever since being interviewed by Sparrowhawk, she had signed up as an official member and has been working under their name ever since!

Individuals

• Mr. Blank: After meeting a few times, she has come to work with him when things happen. Of course, they also have plenty of disagreements...

• Commander US: Almost like a walking war bonds advertisement to the Cosmic Glory, she finds him a little bit intimidating... Despite that, they have been working pretty well even if she doesn't know him very well.

Brad Jones

Faye met Brad just when she was enrolled in a brand new school and was walking home to find bullies had stuffed the boy in a garbage can. Waiting for the bullies to leave, Faye helped pull him out and they were friends ever since. They learnt their interests were very similiar and they would hang out together about town. Brad became Faye's best friend and the two stuck together. The day when Faye became Cosmic Glory, however, she decided to keep it from him to protect him. It was good until cultists used Brad as a hostage to try to lure the young heroine to them. Brad was rescued and Faye's secret was revealed.

It brought them closer instead of apart and Brad became her biggest supporter of her super heroic career. He's cheered her on and became infamous for insulting villains with endless enthusiasm. His constant optimism is what gives her flames the most fuel in hope. It is also what became her weakness when Galtoid held him hostage and revealed just how much she needed Brad... and how much she loved him. When he was rescued, again, the two discovered one another and officially became a couple.

After a break from the incident, the two continue to date each other and even have an apartment together. While life together is a struggle, she's happy to have him by her side despite the risks when villains discover her secret identity.

(He was not inspired by Cinema Snob, who shares the same name. It was just a good simple name!)

Chivalry

James Richardson is her knight in shining armor--in a fatherly or brotherly sort of sense. She had met him as Chivalry first and came to fight alongside him through and through. It wasn't until the death of her mother and problems arising with her first adopted family did she learn more about the man behind the armor. He offered her a place to stay and it was where she lived... and constantly attempting to clean his apartment every single time. He's protected her and helped guide her to a good path. When he fell into the influence of Warmonger, it left her ready to do just about anything to free him from his grasp. While he was free, it was clear just how much that left an influence on James.

Though while he doesn't don the armor as much as he used to, Faye is more then happy to see how close he got to his now fiance and more then ready to go to that wedding when it hits.

Thundrax

She had seen him first through comic books and newspapers. He was a popular name she would cut out in newspapers and put under her box. Now, as a super hero herself, she fought with him side by side and he had came to her aid more then once... and she went to aid him. Thanks to Thundrax, the Cosmic Glory had to sing in order to save the world with other heroes. He became more then just a hero she looked up to. He became a hero she regarded as Craig Carson, a friend.

Prince Frendel Somara

In another dimension, there lived a prince who was destined to marry a princess. Fate, and destiny, were controlled by a god... until he met a girl with amnesia and fell in love with her. Frendel and the girl, Cedany's love were absolute and he did not want to marry the princess anymore. The God of Fate, enraged, murdered his beloved. In despair, Frendel opened a box that held back free thought and all the dimension's woes... and a single flickering flame of hope that gave Frendel the power to face his god. In the end, Frendel was killed. Cedany's spirit would send him away to her home dimension and he was nearly lost in the sky over Millennium City. It wasn't until he heard Faye's wish full of hope and optimism did he decide to grant her wish... and let his soul, and power, become one with hers.

The bond let him see her thoughts, her wishes, her dreams and her fears. He foresaw a terrible fate for Faye Carrano being the Cosmic Glory and he sought to change it. Only Faye knew he was there in her dreams when a dream version of the kingdom of Somara would appear and he would be there to talk to her. In times of great need did Frendel take over Faye's body to help the other heroes or try to advice them. He wasn't very popular to some. In giving his power, though, Frendel knew his soul would be destroyed and he would face true death. Neither heaven or hell would take him, only true oblivion. It was something he wished to take. He saw Brad Jones as the perfect 'knight' to protect the unintentional heir. When the God of Fate came for him, he used the last of his life to save Faye and Brad but not before leaving behind a beautiful blue ribbon in the real world.

Frendel's influence lives on through the ribbon. When Galtoid had attacked and Vieroy manipulated the strings so Faye's own father would kill her, the last of Frendel was able to reach Brad in a dream. He took Brad to see her and told him to "protect her." It was then that Frendel's last act was shown and did he truly fade away for good. The ribbon still exists in the real world and Faye let Brad keep it. Brad will wear it like a headband sometimes like an action hero. However, Frendel's sacrifice and guidance was never forgotten. Faye calls him a true friend to the very end and continues to fight in his memory.

Viceroy

Although Cosmic Glory never truly met the man, she knows he is very deadly and always in the shadows. He was the financial backer of Galtoid's project and the one pulling the strings for Deathbrain Omega. Horrible things always seem to happen when he comes up.

Now, four years later, Viceroy had his men murder Galtoid and attempted to have Faye kidnapped at her own graduation. It was foiled by the Protectors of the World! It was a horrifying reminder that he was still here and Viceroy was still watching. What he wants, or what his ultimate end game is, has yet to be revealed...

(Storyline and character created by @Sprawler)

Galtoid the Infallible (Deceased)

Galtoid appeared as an invasion attempt with an army of space brains that tried to invade Millennium City and the world. Cosmic Glory was part of the team that went to his spaceship to confront and shut down the operation for good. That wasn't the last time that she would see Galtoid. For reasons unknown to Cosmic Glory, Galtoid blamed her for his botched invasion and he made a deal with another villain, Viceroy, for some revenge. With Viceroy's backing, he turned Faye's biological father into Deathbrain Omega and set in motion of kidnapping citizens to turn them into his brain minions. While she helped the others fight to protect people, it left Brad unprotected and he was kidnapped in the fray. Brad was his target from the start to be the 'bait.'

It became clear how goofy and deadly the villain was. Faye was forced to confront her father who was going to kill her until it became clear he was lied to. In order to save everyone, Cosmic Glory and other heroes were able to get out of the ship with the incapacitated Galtoid before Deathbrain Omega crashed the ship to prevent its nuclear explosion. While Cosmic Glory really hated Galtoid for all the pain he's caused, he was just as much of a victim of Viceroy as everyone else.

It was revealed that Galtoid was really a scientist named Galton. He wasn't from space but invented something that gave him brilliance and psychic power but disintegrated his entire body. Now, he spends his days in prison.

His final appearance was four years later when he tried to ruin Faye's graduation. He was almost talked out of it when he was shot and killed by Viceroy's TYR soldiers.

The Black Omen (Deceased)

This was the very first villain Cosmic Glory ever encountered in her heroic career. The Black Omen was a villianous time traveler that pulled heroes into time pockets at random times and truly believed time had to be destroyed to save everyone. It was the first time she attempted to take charge and rally heroes to stop him. Cosmic Glory worked day and night to find ways to make sure there were enough heroes to be prevent him from destroying everything. However, Black Omen had something else in mind for her. He took her to a machine and used her Cosmic Flame of Hope to power it to destroy all of time and space.

It would have worked were it not for the noble sacrifice of the hero, Trauma, and the interference of Captain Chronos, that it didn't happen. It is this event that has traumatized Cosmic Glory to this day. This is one of many reasons why Cosmic Glory is afraid to take charge and even more afraid if anyone ever tries to use her Cosmic Flame of Hope for anything else. Although he is dead, his impact on Faye lingers on to this very day.

(Storyline, and character created by @Doctor_Awesome aka Blue Bruiser)

Dio, the God of Fate(Deceased)

Faye met the god from another dimension several years ago when he appeared and demanded for the soul of a prince to be returned to him. When it was discovered Faye had the spirit within her, he demanded him back. She refused. From then on, it was a year of torment with the crazed god converting mortals to his side and cults forming in his name. He used their faith to "save" people from the "stain" that he believed this dimension was. With the spirit of Frendel forever lost to him, he fell deeper into insanity and felt the dimension needed to be 'purged' in order to save it.

From there on, no one had heard a word of him since. Reports of groups of people gone missing were heard and even a school of children but they were never found. It was believed that Dio had taken them but for what reasons are unknown. Only known to Faye herself, it seems Dio was killed unexpectedly and his flame returned to hers. While a relief, either it means a hero was able to stop him... or someone far worse managed to kill him.

Dio was the first but he was not the last.

Have something to say about the Cosmic Glory? Say it here!

Chivalry: "Cosmic Glory is a fair and powerful maiden with strong morales! I did battle her not the other day and lo' she and I did battle perpetually to a stock standstill with no victor!"

Hunter: "Cos? Sweet kid. Gives me a heart attack ta see'er out here, fightin' monsters, killers, what have ya. But, I wouldn't be able ta stop her, an' sometimes ya can't NOT use yer powers. That said, kid should be careful so she can be an' old fart someday like me an'

Thundrax: "She has world of potential, and an even bigger heart. And a great singing voice too!"

Avro: "She's already a better hero than most of the other people out there. When Cosmic Glory is a little older, she's either going to be leading the Champions...or on Sixteen and Pregnant."

Mr. Blank: "Good. Perhaps better than good. For now, petulance and inexperience are obstacles stopping her from harnessing her true potential. She'd better hope she can overcome them before they overcome her."

The Peacemaker: "She's one of the best up-and-coming heroes we've got! She can handle her own out there, and that's good news for all of us."

Nightwave: "I don't put my faith in politicians or religions. I put my faith in people. People who are better than me. Cosmic Glory is one of these people. Shes the one I'm fighting for. Shes the only reason I need to don the mask."

Tomonari: "She's... w-well, nice. Um... honestly, I-I really don't know wh-what to really say. I don't r-really think much on her being a-a hero, but, she's an honest friend. I don't want that to change."

Dragonfly: "What can I say about Faye? She's the first girl to make me feel the way I do about her and I love spending time with her. I love seeing her face, her smile. What can I say? I love her, even if she is a little on the "petite" side, she's got a heart the size a' a jumbo jet."

Lightwave: "It's not often that I'll admit this, but there are some heroes that I am terribly jealous of. The ones that have it in them to be great, the ones with not only the power, but the heart. She's almost ten years younger than I am, but she's decades ahead of me, and has the potential to be much, MUCH more. She's a great kid with a huge heart, and I'm jealous, there, I said it."

Gary Lelik: "Haven't met her all too much, but from what I could tell? She's one of the more upstanding folk we got horsing around. I'd buy her ice-cream for her heroics, but I figger she'd be creeped out by it.Anyway. Nice kid. Nuff said."

General Freedom: "She's a good kid with a lot of heart. Brave, respectful and kind. I hope this life doesn't beat that out of her."

Real Soviet Damage: "Ask Sascha, and Sascha say that conviction and heart greatest super powers of Comrade."

Sparrowhawk: "Cosmic Glory is immensely powerful, hopeful and kind. She's been invaluable in the short time she has been with the Protectors. I think even larger things are in store for her, most definitely."

Voreen: "Cosmic Glory is kind hearted, sincere, and nice. There are many good things about her. I hope she keeps that flame alive as she ages."

Ice-Heart: "It always pains me to see that such youth must fight and be put in harms way. I am gladdened though that she has grown stronger in the crucible that fate has thrust her in."

Tesseract: "Man, for someone so young, she's had to deal with a lot, at least as in the short time that I've known her. Still, despite all that, she manages to just be this...bright light in the middle of a dark room. It's hard not to be inspired, and her hopefulness just kind of rubs off on you."

Razira: "Despite her young age, Cosmic Glory is a fantastic, upbeat, and powerful teammate that refuses to let the weight of the world bring her down. She's been through a lot in her limited years, and despite having had things happen to her that would crack more experienced heroes, Glory continues to take it in stride. I'm proud to have her as an ally in the Protectors."

Fathom: "Doesn't matter how bleak things look during a battle, we can always rely on Cosmic Glory to re-energize our morale and throw in a punch or two."

C.O.P.: "Newbie's got a better handle on things than most heroes twice her age. She's more than earned her place with the Protectors."

Artifist: "Glory's got style and skill to match her fierce determination and 'never give up' attitude. Give her about ten years and I'm sure she'll running her own global superteam."

Imp (Angel Anderson) "I don't know her too well. But she's stronk, has a good head on her shoulders, and is JUST FREAKIN' ADORABLE! Seriously, I just wanna pinch her cheeks!"

Keioseth: "She is my first and, I'm fairly certain, ONLY fan. She's always a shining ray of light even in the darkest times."

Keioseth II: "If you even are having a bad day just walk up to her and give her a hug, she's the best!"

• Cosmic Glory's original hero name was going to be Starr. The same concept of being a hero with powers of a comet were there but the backstory of being a little girl was not there. This would not come until later when surfing for a proper hero name and finding inspiration from a certain superhero from the Marvel universe.

• The Cosmic Glory is a concept based off of Haley's Comet many years ago. It was a big comet that flew in the sky and the color that @Angelight remembered from its tail was the color blue. That is why her flames were given a blue color, to emulate that comet in the sky. Her name, Faye, is named after another comet. You can read about Faye's Comet right here!

• Faye loves stuffed animals. She has a huge fixation for teddy bears. She has one on her bed that she sleeps with every night named Fluffy. She had it ever since she was a baby.

• Faye hates broccoli.
