Biography
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.
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.
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 a PRIMUS scientist, running away from a VIPER squad, hidden a secret formula that he was trying to save from the terrible terrorists in a cake that Amber was carrying with her... the scientist told her to not eat the cake, but Amber, neverminding him, ate that... getting her DNA altered and obtaining her powers.
The scientist managed to save himself and, when he discovered of Amber's new powers, even if a bit angry at first, he helped her in getting used to those new 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.
Today, Pulsar, is no more the youngest of the team, and she actually revealed her identity on TV during an interview, she is known as "The Heart of the Eternals" and, even if her mother died due to a villain evil scheme that was not focused on her (collateral damage) she keep smiling and spreading love around her.
Powers
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 Eternals Inc comlink, but probably her main important device is the "fast changer" bracalet device: a techy bracalet that let her change her outfit in the blink of an eye thanks to some nanothec... Pulsar really love this tool, since she love to make the Cosplay of her main heroes she actually have many outfits and to wear the proper one could be a hard job without her bracalet! 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.
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 them.
Weaknesses
Physical
Pulsar is the classical "soft" girl, always lack in gymnastic and athletic ability... not only she totally lack of any kind of super strenght or dextery, but she is even poor for a normal human. If someone caught her without her Force Shields on she is "fresh meat" or, to say it in a more funny way, "dead as dodo".
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 a couple of times already: 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.
Psycological'
Pulsar trust ANYONE. 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, even if it's Doctor Destroyer. But mostly, her psicological weakness is given by her past abuse suffered by her father when she was little. A thing she never talk about and that no one knows (Except from fellow 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

- 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.

- 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.
