Perpetually a work in progress!
Stormherald is a heroine!
The name Stormherald, while impressive and commanding, belies the relative humility of the heroine who has taken the name. Packing a large warhammer that channels electricity, and donning sporty-looking teal-and-aqua colored armor, she fearlessly charges into the fray regardless of the danger!... sometimes to her detriment.
Origins
Celeste Forsythe grew up completely normal, in a completely normal neighborhood. She graduated from high school, normally, and went on to Humboldt University as a journalism major. University started normal enough: study by day, party by night. One of these late-night parties took place on a beach. In a fit of civic responsibility, Celeste took it upon herself to clean up after her fellow partygoers the following morning.
Career
Stormherald's nascent heroic career started in Millennium City with nothing but classic-style tights and a electric warhammer. Her solo career was uneventful as she mostly relegated herself to fighting street gangs. Her signature achievement of this time was fighting back a small Qliphothic invasion downtown. She has since then been quoted saying, "After fighting things with mouths for faces, nothing really scares me anymore."
A chance encounter with the famed hero Red Spider led Stormherald to accepting a trial membership with the supergroup The Adventurers. Her first mission with the group - helping to foil a plot by the villainous hacktivist Cyber-Slash - earned her no small amount of acclaim as well as official membership into the supergroup! She has been with the group ever since, lending her hammer in support of the common good, a mission only briefly paused when VIPER grenades critically injured her. Rehabilitation from that particular episode took several months of hospital time plus intense physical therapy.
Soon after her rehabilitation, her friend and co-Adventurer Juggernette helped design a lightweight low-impact suit of powered armor - partially powered by her own hammer! - to help protect Stormherald from otherwise preventable injuries such as "lying on grenades."
The woman behind the hammer holds a passion for reporting and investigative journalism. Utterly fearless even without her heroic accouterments, there are few stories she will not follow. Her work tends to focus on local politics and the public institution of heroism, but she will follow any story given enough push. Formerly a reporter for the Millennium City News, she was released from that job following a prolonged unexplained absence. She now works at the WCOC as a investigative reporter, writing the stories the newsreaders tell the city.
Abilities
All of Stormherald's powers can be directly attributed to her warhammer, an artifact whose full potential is as yet unknown. Stormherald herself can tap it to generate a seemingly-inexhaustible stream of electricity at-will, in any configuration she can think of. It also grants limited immunity to electrical discharge, as the hammer draws such attacks to itself. Additionally, the hammer grants Stormherald the ability to teleport short distances, with the caveat that she leaves a trail of electricity behind her where she goes. It's not the most subtle form of travel.
As a melee weapon, it is exceptionally light in her hands and capable of inflicting devastating blows to objects and creatures alike. Strikes may also discharge electricity on contact, making the blow extra potent. Stormherald herself is still training to use it properly, however, and so her effectiveness with the weapon is not what it could be.
Finally, Stormherald can dismiss and summon the hammer at-will.
Since the encounter that crippled her, Stormherald has been seen wearing a lightweight suit of powered armor. This suit provides limited protection from kinetic damage; this function is powered primarily by her hammer. Her boots also have rockets, though they have an independent power source for emergency getaways.
