Strato-Girl
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A Brief Explanation
Strato-Girl was my Storm Defender in City of Heroes. She started out as a sort of fangirl to a senior member of our Supergroup; another Storm Summoner named Liberty Gale. After Gale's player left the game she developed more into her own character. Cassie became a decendent of a long line of Storm Mavens in Croatoa.
A Brief History
Cassie grew up in old Detroit. She was a normal, popular girl. She loved the attention being cute and popular brought her. She finished high school and went to college. She got into a fight at a frat party after a few too many drinks and accidentally shocked the girl she was fighting with. People momentarily backed away in horror. She ran and hid for a couple of days while she sorted this new development out. This would definitely impact her popularity. Deciding that she was going to turn this into a positive thing she started a second life as a superhero. She took up the name Strato-Girl because of her weather powers. As she made more headlines her popularity increased and after a while left the mask she wore behind, showing people who she was. She enjoys the attention.
Personality
Cassie loves being in the lime light. While some of her professors might not appreciate the attention that her other life garners, Cassie loves it. She's outgoing, cheerful, friendly, and charismatic. She uses her looks to her advantages in situations where her personality isn't enough. She is fully aware of every weapon she has at her disposal. Despite everything she is still moderately immature. She's a hero solely for the attention that it brings.
Powers
After the fight that brought her powers to light, she called her parents and sobbed to her mom about the incident. Her mother came clean to her about their family's lineage. Cassie is descended from a long line of weather witches dating back to the druids. Cassie is able to manipulate lighting in various forms. She can also call up the winds to allow her to fly. She can clap her hands together and create a deafening Thunderclap.
The Present
Cassie is a senior in college. She's become a part time student, and a part time superhero. She loves the attention that being a superhero brings, but it occasionally cuts into her party time, which annoys her a bit. She still has a long way to go before she could be a truly great hero but she's maturing slowly. She's not sure what she's going to do after college. Her fashion and business management classes were more of a trifling plaything than something that she wanted to pursue. Her classes have become more geared to aiding her in her superhero career. Fashion, public speaking, marketing and so forth. She's considered taking up being a superhero full time after college, but she's not a fan of being beat up on a daily basis.
