Kara McIlroy
Contents
Personality
Kara is very upbeat and nerdy, she often makes references to video games and movies and is rarely ever negative in emotions. She sees every new event that happens to her as a learning experience and a way to better herself as a person. Like her father she tries to remain a positive force even when there seems to be no hope to keep the moral of her friends and teammates at it's highest.
Background
Kara was the first successful creation of Chaosiris in his attempt to harness the powerful mystical energies that surrounded the Seryna Family, namely that of Alenna McIlroy (Seryna). While the initial goal of the project was a failure, Siris spliced in genetic information from several other sources including that of Seth “Keioseth” McIlroy in an attempt to gain access to Rai Kel’tho Las, an elemental Lightning realm. The connection was weak at best so he attempted to bolster the connection with the genetics of several powerful psychics, most prominently that of Rebecca “Lust” Voclain.
Keio and a group of his friends broke into the facility that housed the project while tracking Siris down. After Keio read over the details of the project he let her out of the cloning vat and took her home with him. He and Alenna eventually adopted her and named her Kara after Alenna’s mother. After Alenna’s death at the hands of Siris, Keio feared that Siris would come after Kara to use in whatever plot he had planned for her originally. He secretly took Kara to Ireland to live with his Grandmother while he hunted Siris down in order to bring him to justice. After Siris’ death at the hands of Rex, Kara came back to live with her father.
A year later, the Elemental Guardian of Rai Kel’tho Las took control took control of her father after he refused to help destroy Millennium City. Using Keio as a puppet, he kidnapped Kara to train her to be his avatar. Keio and the Freelancers mounted a rescue mission into the elemental realm but they soon discovered after locating Kara that time flowed differently there. In the few days it took them to gather the items needed to open the portal Kara had aged almost 8 years and during those 8 years the Guardian had turned her into the perfect avatar for his power.
The team managed to subdue Kara, while they were escaping Keio was attacked at the last second by the Guardian, who promptly sealed the portal back to Earth. After a long fight Keio was able to kill the Guardian but almost as soon as the fight was over Kara came to and escaped through a portal into another dimension. When Kara arrived in this Alternate version of Earth she was in the middle of a battle between some monsters and a group of warriors led by that world’s version of her Father. Using her new powers as an avatar, she slaughtered everyone, the monsters, the warriors, and the civilians caught in the fight.
Arriving in this alternate universe, Keio quickly realized what his daughter had done. He knew there was no way he could take her on. Unsure how to handle the situation he accidentally stumbled upon this dimensions version of himself. The Alternate version of himself was dying but knew a special technique that would allow the two of them to merge together into a single entity, he promised that Keio would remain the dominant personality and that eventually he would simply fade away. Keio agreed to this and was granted just enough power to be able to take on Kara.
Sensing her father had followed her, Kara sought him out and the new Super-Charged Keio battled with Kara. The two Keio’s split their tasks up, with the original Keio using every last bit of his strength to mentally attack her while the alternate Keio used their new found powers to physically attack her. Eventually proving too much for Kara the hold the Guardian had on her shattered.
Unfortunately with the hold broken and Kara’s psyche was on the verge of collapse, the memories of what she had done were too much for her to handle and she used her own psychic powers on herself and tried to erased her memories of everything that had happened since she had been kidnapped and sent to Rai Kel’tho Las. Keio grabbed his near comatose daughter and took her back through the portal to Rai Kel’tho Las. There Kara slowly recovered while Keio gathered the energy needed to open the portal home.
While they were stuck there, Keio taught his daughter almost everything he knew, Kara learned everything from Math, Science, and other basic schoolings, to video games, movies, and other pop-culture related things, to self-defense and control of her psionic abilities. They were there for years before her father was able to open the portal home but finally one fateful day, he was able to open the portal. Father and Daughter soon discovered that they had only been gone for a few weeks despite years passing for them, while Kara aged during this time her father didn’t, seemingly immune to the temporal displacement caused by the other dimension.
Since her return Kara has taken up the life of an average teen age girl with super powers and even joined her adopted sister Lacey at Ravenswood Academy. Since then she has learned to better protect herself with her powers and maintains a part-time job with the Freelancers, her father’s company, and works secretly with the Young Sentinels.
After a couple of relatively normal years Kara was killed by an attack by the villainous RHINO TANK during the long campaign to put a stop to Chaosiris and his minions. Her soul was taken out of her body prior to her death and used to power a Genetically engineered super-clone known as Project Verona. Several heroes managed to get Kara's personality to take back control of the body and she was eventually put into a new body.
Her new body was created from both Alenna McIlroy (Seryna) and Seth McIlroy (Keio). Unlike her original body which was engineered by Siris to be a psionic powerhouse, her current body is weaker and more like her parents.
Kara graduated from the Ravenswood Academy and is going to the School of Engineering at Harvard part time. Along with sweeping changes in her life with her father remarrying to Leilani and going into semi retirement, Kara has left her former team and has ended up on the same team as her best friend Sunny. She went with Sunny to a poker game hosted by All-Star where she hit it off with the group and was later asked to join as a trial member until her 18th birthday. While in Boston she tried to have somewhat of a normal life again keeping her hero work to the Protectors and Millennium City, but after stopping a mugger that was attacking people on campus she now patrols her new home city.
The local media in Boston have dubbed her the "Boston Blitz", while she isn't actively trying to hide her identity she has taken to talking in her thicker Irish accents while in the persona. Her father has taken to training her further as well and is often watching and coaching her (Similarly to how Bruce Wayne mentors Terry McGinnis.)
Powers & Abilities
Psycho-Electrokinesis
Like her father she can use Electrokinesis. Unlike her father she can also augment it with psionic energies as well, allowing her to produce barriers and body 'armor', form blades, arrows and other weapons, and also generate powerful psionic blasts that disrupt electrical energies, including the natural bio-electric field of the human brain or the electrical systems of machinery.
- Storms - Rainstorms, Thunderstorms, and Electrical storms can all increase Kara electrical based abilities as she doesn't have to concentrate as much to manipulate the energy since it is actively all around her.
Hypercharged State
If Kara absorbs massive amounts of Electromagnetism, Electricity, Lightning (Natural, Artificial, or Mystical) she can enter a Hypercharged State. This State can only last for a few seconds (at most 45) and increases her speed and power generation.
Psychic Powers
Using her mental energies she can manipulate her surroundings, in combat this usually manifests in her picking up objects and hurling them at her attackers with telekinesis. Even though she lost a lot of Psychic powers after her failed battle with Chaosiris, Kara has maintained her ability to communicate with people telepathically.
- Telekinesis - Lifting abilities max out at just over 100kg (approx 220lbs.)
- Telepathy - Can link up to 5 people together in a 'mental link' for communication, can't read minds.
Technopathy
Manifesting mostly in communicating with the AI, SCRI, Kara can communicate with most technologies though is most comfortable with computers.
Equipment
- SCRI - The Supercomputing Resource Intelligence was designed as the ultimate personal AI. Keio, shortly after she came online, shortened her name to SCRI as play on the fact that she was designed to locate anyone on her network and allow for users to call in backup and resources. As the years passed she has been updated from a very basic program to a full fledged quantum AI with a multitude of functions. Kara recently gave her the ability to split into multiple versions of herself to aid in her acclimation with humans as well as running the Freelancer Database. SCRI was designed by several people including but not limited to: Dr. Seth McIlroy, Alenna McIlroy, Dr. Mulan Hanahara, and Dr. Lindsey Turnbeau.
- THINGs - The Thermal Imaging Night-Vision Goggles were originally built by her maternal Grandfather, her father has improved the design of the last decade to include may other functions such as an audio and video commlink, GPS system, and targeting assist.
- Mark VII ACE Suit - Keio and Silver Eagle set out to improve the Armored Combat Enhancement (ACE) suits and as a result the Mark VII was born. The Mark VII can be customized to the taste of the wearer such as heavier armor for more protection or lighter armor for more mobility. Kara's is based off of her father's which allows it to focus her powers and grants more protection than her normal tights.
- TASIR Gauntlets - The Turbine Assisted Ionic Regulator Gauntlets are designed for close quarters combat allowing Kara to generate more powerful electric attacks at a shorter range.
- Bracer Bow - One of Kara's recent inventions, this specialized bracer equips on her left arm and holds a collapsible Longbow.
- Cross Bracer - Similar to the Bracer Bow, this usually equips to her right arm and can turn into a small wrist mounted automatic crossbow.
- Blitz-Blades - One of the things her father taught her was sword fighting and she recently discovered she could form swords from her mental energies with a little lightning thrown in.
- Robots - Kara has four robots that she uses to aide her, the SCRI Medical drones designed by her father and "Mario" & "Luigi". M&L are her personal helper bots, built originally to help her with her gadgets she can refit them with weapons to aide her in combat.
- Blitzboard - Built it over Christmas break, along with one for Dobergirl, this jet powered board is used for flying around~!
Weaknesses
PTSD: While she managed to erase her memory of most of the horrible events she caused while mind controlled by the Elemental, somethings go deeper than just memory. She has been known to have nightmares and once froze up during a fight when a teammate was being mind controlled by a psychic.
Only Human: Kara might be a clone but her body hasn't been heavily altered like her father's. If her tech and psionic defenses are broken she is very squishy which is usually why she sticks to long range.
Dead Battery: Her father has a similar issue, if she uses her electrokinesis without a power generator of some kind she uses her body's own EM fields and this can cause her to pass out. Alternately, this can also happen after entering and leaving her hypercharged state.
Mental Strain: Much like her Electrokinetics, too frequent use of her psionics can cause strain. The first signs of this is her nose and/or ears bleeding, sickness in her stomach, and can eventually lead to her passing out.
Please No Teleporting: Genetics are a bitch as they say, like her father she has Teleportation Sickness wherein she becomes physically ill after being teleported. This does not seem to happen with the use of portals. Family, Friends, and Allies
