Black Diamond is a fairly recent arrival to Earth and relishes the opportunity to fight evil along with other heroes of Millennium City. Her real identity is not common knowledge. She spends her "off duty" time as a Sports Instructor for Get FITFITFIT! Inc. Her unique abilities make her a valuable asset to any strikeforce or fighting force and she excells in the field of close quaters unarmed combat. Joining the ever expanding sisterhood known as the SummerStones lead by Mentella, Black Diamond continues to this day using her abilities to fight the seemingly never ending amounts of evil in the world.

HISTORY

Spoiler Warning
The following details are about a player-created storyline, or is information currently unrevealed about a character.
Please do not use this information ICly unless given permission to do so.

Arriving on Earth in 2000, Black Diamond kept a relatively low profile whilst on Earth, believing for the most part she was the only escapee from her planet to arrive on Earth, a place similar to her home planet in several ways. She used her aptitude for languages and learnt several widely spoken languages of this planet and made a sufficient amount of money to allow her to live a relatively "normal" life.

She made her living as a fitness instructor named Sarah Payne for several years. She developed a new and effective method of self defense known as "Ref'la Dio", which was a means of literally reflecting the opponents force against them, causing in most cases harm to the attacker, without ever using much energy as the victim. However not many students were able to correctly carry out the sequence of moves to get the same effect.

After deciding to drop her fitness instructing ways, she wandered into the area of competitive sport. She was very aware of the fighting arenas in Malva and was suprised that humans too enjoyed seeing members of their species fight for a prize. She quickly entered into a ring of women boxers, however she was teased for her slim figure and apparent lack of muscle. Despite the teasing she always came out on top and took almost no injury from her fights, in most instances her opponents hurt themselves from simply hitting her.

This unusual ability of hers did not go unnoticed and Sarah began to attract attention from not just the local media but from other more nefarious sources, who suspected she might have had something to do with the UFO crash in the Desert to which the small number of onlookers claimed to see an almost crystalline looking humaniod figure walk from the wreakage. The more discerning individuals amongst the organisations put the pieces together and slowly traced the mounting evidence back to this individual who had apparently appeared out of no where, Sarah Payne.

During an evening out celebrating her victory in the semi-finals, her coach was persuaded to drug her champagne with a heavy cocktail of narcotics...causing her to pass out, the last thing she remembered seeing was the sad look given to her by her coach before he too was dealt with

Sarah woke up, delirious and confused inside a large metal room with strange symbols and holes in them. As soon as she began to move she heard the muffled shouts outside the room of panic and urgency. The room quickly began to leak some sort of gas from the holes. Breaking free of her restraints, Sarah took a breath in and transformed her body into a fully mobile, glistening, crystalline version of its previous form. She quicky started to pound on the walls of the metal structure causing it to buckle under the sheer force of her fists before she shaped a weapon from her diamonds and punctured the wall tearing it apart and rushing out into a building corridor.

Looking around for any signs of life she saw the sudden movement of a small figure in the corner of her eye. The man was dressed in green and yellow uniform and has a snake head on his chest armor, he made a break for the door. He was fast but Sarah was faster, as he ran he suddenly heard a crystal-like hiss beneath his feet and he ground to a halt watching as the door slowly sealed shut and the pneumatic hiss of the door locking activated.

Walking over to the man, who was shaking like a leaf, she looked into the darkness of the void that was his helmet visor and carved a perfect circle with her finger, causing a large enough hole exposing his real face...

Sarah interrogated the man and learned that she had been captured by an organisation known as VIPER. Before she could ask him another question his face froze and twisted before his body slumped, completely limp half in the crystal structure and half on top. A soothing voice in an almost forgotten language called to her, calming her down, leading her out of the complex. She walked past each soldier who seemed to be frozen in time, unable to move but still alive.

Sarah made her way out of the complex to see a slim woman with light blonde hair and faintly glowing pink eyes, with her hands outstretched towards the complex, who introduced herself as Mentella and pointed to the sky to direct her attention to another super powered woman, who seemed to generate some form of highly compressed energy construct before dropping it on the entire complex, utterly annihillating it. She later came to know the woman as ForceGirl.

After exchanging experiences, Sarah accepted Mentella's offer to join the Summerstone Sisterhood and reprised her original name, which translated into English reads: Black Diamond.

Current Events - January to April 2013

After a rather unfriendly winter period in 2012 with the attack of Clarence the Mecha Teddy and Black Harlequin and his legions of mechanised toys, the start of 2013 did not hold much promise. With the threat of the Dr.Destroyer ever more real after the narrow successes with the Mega Destroid Invasion and the UNTIL Sky Command Air Fortress under siege by the forces of Dr. Destroyer. The resources of both the heroes and the government were at it's limit. Black Diamond as well as the rest of the Summerstones, actively assisted with the unusual activity surrounding some recent findings by a Professor of Ancient History and the UNTIL building, it was soon discovered much to everyone's dismay the Lemurians had prepared an assault on a large scale on Millennium City.

Before the threat could be contained, the Lemurians struck, causing incalculable amounts of damage to Millennium City as the entire city was flooded, civilian casualties as well as heroic causalites were at an all time high. The summoning of an ancient creature known as the Bleak Ones Harbinger caused large amounts of devastation in a thankfully fairly contained area of what was left of the city.

Thanks to the fast action and effort of the Heroes and Heroines of Millennium, the threat was neutralised and the Lemurians fled, leaving large scale ammounts of damage for the remaining effort to remove.

Black Diamond was part of the ground strike force keeping the Lemurian Threat from reaching Canada,Desert and other key places of interest.

Current Events - May 2013

In the aftermath of the Lemurian Invasion, the clean up work was finally finished late April/ early May, Black Diamond went back to her regular teaching position at The New Summerstone Academy for Enhanced Individuals for a couple of weeks until she received word from her home planet of Xen-2, notifying her of "a new arrival", namely her younger sister Solaris. Happy to see her sister again she set to work and wasted no time in having Solaris enrolled at the Academy.

Black Diamond has also been busy in the recent off world phenomenon known as The Lunar Games, held by the Malvans. Not unfamiliar with the gladiatorial combat style and the Malvans insatiable desire for carnage, Black Diamond along with a team of four other heroes went up to the Arena on the Moon and were pitted against all manner of foes, ranging from Oxygen raged Kzash hounds from the moons of Mrentmor to Veterans of the Lunar Games. She also, much to her surprise found herself up against Drogen Lar (IronClad), Duratok and Ariax Throne (Firewing). After a lot of effort, Black Diamond and her team managed to power through and were allowed to leave the Arena.

Groups and Various Affiliations

Black Diamond was never part of any formally recognised groups in regard to her heroic endeavours, on Earth.

She is currently a member of the SummerStone Sisterhood.

Powers and Abilities- PRIMUS REPORT

Organic Diamond Generation and Manipulation

This unique and extremely facinating ability seems to be a core or primary ability for Black Diamond. She is able to utilize this ability in various fashions such as trapping enemies within diamond structures, creating personal diamond barriers for personal protection, generating "Diamond Claws" as weapons to aid melee combat. Her diamonds are at least ten times stronger than the naturally occuring substance found on earth and are much more asthetically pleasing. They are capable of withstanding over thirty thousand degree temperatures before the molecular structure begins to waver. She has shown the ability to trap foes at relative distance using her crystalline structures as spires which shoot up through the ground, encircling and crushing her victims.

In her "Diamond Form"

Diamond Form

Black Diamond has shown on numerous occasions the ability to transform her living tissue and organs into a completely different substance, similar if not the same as her diamonds in terms of durability, endurance and strength. In this seemingly enhanced form, Black Diamond is able to withstand temperatures close to that of her organic diamonds whilst maintaining the same degree of flexibility and movement she has outside of her diamond shifted form. Interestingly in this shape shifted form, Black Diamond gains access to a new variety of abilities and skills which were not previously apparent in her humanoid form and/or are greatly enhanced in her diamond form.

Utilizing her form enhanced super strength

Super Strength

It is not exactly clear how Black Diamond is able to possess such strength, even in her diamond form. Some of the people whom she has worked with theorized it has something to do with her crystalline structure which allows the weight of objects to be dispersed in her form, making the object seem weightless. It has been proven she is not unconsciously Telekinetic or possesses some sort of power granting her the ability to move these large objects, than then strength she gains in her shape shifted form. Her upper limit has not yet been defined, however she has shown the capability of handling pressures of up to and over 300 tons.

Releasing stored Kinetic Energy

Kinetic Energy Absorption and Redirection

Up until recently Black Diamond had not disclosed this ability or used it in combat. However, it has been documented that she is able to absorb and store a certain amount of kinetic energy within her diamond form, causing it to mutate rapidly to accomodate the stores of energy. Once the upper limit for this energy has been reached, the effect is not only deafening but in most cases quite devastating. She is capable of releasing a sphere of highly concentrated kinetic potential energy along with diamond shards travelling at a high velocity in the air. It would appear from her only recent usage of such a feat of power, that either:

-Her powers are increasing and mutating due to some unforseen change inside her or in her environment

-She has not been totally open with us about her abilities

-This is a new ability which she is learning to master.

Her Diamond Form allows for such feats, in this form she is seemingly either immune or highly resistant to damage types of all kind even psionic to a degree. It seems also that her diamond forms ability to bear damage is based on her level of concentration and mental state, as well as environmental variables, such as heat.

Limitations

It has been noted that under periods of extreme mental and physical stress her diamond form can crack and potentially shatter.

In such instances where her diamond form is in danger she is readily able to call upon other defensive abilities she has access to such as Reformation, Recrystalisation and Super Diamond Form.

Recrystalisation is a passive ability allowing her to perform a quick scan fix to any damaged outer coating of diamonds.

Reformation is a deeper ability which reforms the diamonds as a core process which allows her to fight longer and harder.

Super Diamond Form can only be achieved through intense concentration, in this form she is immune to all incoming damage for a very short period of time. Utilizing such an ability as Super Diamond Form, can leave her fatigued and is in most cases a last resort.

Highly focused sonic energy due to it's troublesome nature it can interfere with the concentration levels of Black Diamond causing her diamond structures to explode and her diamond form to crack in potentially threatening ways. Her Super Diamond Form is however immune to such effects.

Long periods of time in her diamond form takes alot of concentration and periods of time (extending over 82 hours at a time)are nearly impossible to do.

Non Diamond Form

When powered down from her diamond form, Black Diamond has a naturally high level of resistance to incoming damage due to her tough skin, which is almost crystalline in resistance terms. However, she does not possess any of her diamond form level of resistances nor is she able to heal (apart from her passive Xenian Regeneration). She is not capable of standing up to the same levels of physical stress and is unable to use her super leaping ability. In comparison to her Diamond Form, she is extremely vulnerable. Her levels of strength are greatly reduced also, with her only able to withstand 60 tons or less.

Punk'd Le Musique

Punk'd Le Musique or Punk'd for short had always been a pain for Black Diamond due to the nature of her powers, namely sonic energy manipulation. Punk'd had been a normal lead rock guitarist for her band The Fury of Mayhem, until she was mistaken for the daughter of a powerful demon god whilst on tour in Canada. The demon granted her and her guitar mastery over sonic waves, making her music a serious force to be reckoned with, she could use the force to destroy or to entice people to like her music and follow her every command.

Armed with this new knowledge, she used it to her advantage and caused her fans to go on riots, rampages and lived a pretty comfortable life, until Black Diamond and a few UNTIL troops busted through her armies of mind controlled fans and confronted her. During the fight Black Diamond managed to destroy the imbued guitar releasing the power within it, effectively depowering her. The operation was a success and Punk'd was taken to jail.

Part way through serving her sentence she was approached by Shadow Destroyer who offered her a portion of her power back, unable to restore her full power, she settled for the ability to generate concussive sonic blasts and constructs and swore she would destroy Black Diamond. She immediately broke out of her cell in Westside Prison causing a large ammount of distruption in the surrounding cell blocks and freeing other inmates until the prison was overrun.

Punk'd normally works alone but managed to rally some inmates to her cause who have loyally stuck by her all this time.

The Summerstones and The Summerstone Academy

The Summerstones are a group of female heroines from different backgrounds, the majority however seem to be of alien origin, particularly Xenian origin. Mentella founded the SummerStones Sisterhood a couple of years after her reform and was swiftly joined by her sister who resumed super heroic work.

This Sisterhood is extremely secure and very little information has been divulged about it. However both UNITY and UNTIL as well as PRIMUS are aware of the several schools dedicated to teaching the champions of tomorrow, which have been set up under then uniform name of The SummerStone Academy. Graduates of this school are routinely mind wiped of the location of the academy, several attempts to foil this security have failed. Some exceptional Graduates however are accepted into the Sisterhood and gain sisterhood status.

All else that is known about this group and the subsequent academies is that they are all under Mentella's guidance.

The Academy was shutdown after an invasion by Destroids killed a large number of the students, who were reported to be sleeping at the time, during the return and thankfully short lived invasion of Millennium City by Dr. Destroyer's robotic forces. Mentella was not seen for 5 months after this incident. However the Sisterhood remains.

She is the Leader of the Summerstone Sisterhood. This sisterhood is fairly recent and mainly consists of those from her own planet and some human heroines. The current members of the sisterhood are as follows:

-Mentella

-Black Diamond

-ForceGirl

-CharmCaster

-Techna Ology

-Bionic Bullet

-PsychBlade

-Joule

The New Summerstone Academy for Enhanced Individuals, was opened in March 2013 at an undisclosed location and already is in full swing. There are academies throughout America all of which are moderated by Mentella.

VIPER and Ripper

VIPER have been after Black Diamond's genetic material for a while now, in hopes of applying it to Ripper in order to boost his omicron induced strength and brutish behavior. Her unusually high levels of strength are of particular interest to VIPER and Ripper alike as through previous battle Ripper has always fallen to the higher strength of Black Diamond.

Even though she would not admit it, Black Diamond finds Ripper an almost worthy opponent. VIPER's obsession with Black Diamond stemmed from when they first captured her before she joined the Summerstone sisterhood, as part of an unconscious reflex, she had shifted to her diamond state, preventing VIPER from acquiring her genetic material, even with a diamond tipped drill point.

Upon waking up in restraints and in a "secure" room, she sought to escape immediately and with the help of Mentella and ForceGirl she was able to leave without any trouble.

The surveillance footage showed how easily she tore through the restraints and then the room, intrigued Dr. Dino Demogaard as well as Ripper when he accidentally saw the footage.

Off-world Family

Black Diamond's family is mostly off world except for her younger sister Solaris, who is a pyro kinetic. She keeps in regular contact with her family as Xenians seem to believe family is the most important aspect of life. She also has an older brother whom she spoke about known as "GeoForce", who apparently can generate force fields and possesses control over geophysical matter.

Even though the majority of her family is not on Earth, Black Diamond enjoys the company of her fellow Xenians just as well.

Solaris is currently a student at The New Summerstone Academy for Enhanced Individuals and is learning to hone her powers.

Black Diamond's Note: "Yeah, my family are mostly back on Xen, since the war and civil unrest has relented, I've been able to visit them, I take Solaris along with me, she loves her big brother and so do I. I've even introduced the Summerstones to my family The Diamonds. See on Xen we have "Family Groups", that basically means although we are all the same race we break off into smaller sub groups which own parts of the planet, land wise that is, as far as I know...The Summerstones and The Diamonds are two of the largest families, the largest family is known as The Eli'dahons...I think..."

Notes

• Black Diamond is naturally gifted when it comes to languages and has so far learnt French, Spanish, English and is in the process of learning Russian.
• Although she is not directly related to anyone in the sisterhood apart from her sister Solaris, she views them as her sisters.

Quotes

• "You got two options! The hard way or my way! Pick one!"
• "Hit first, ask questions later..presuming they survive the first hit.."
• "The bigger they are...the harder I punch them"
• "BOOM! It's diamond baby!"

Personal Interests/Likes

• The occassional spar with another hero
• Orange Juice
• Black Diamond is very fond of natural minerals found on earth, such as Obsidian, Diamond, Quartz etc
• Working with fresh faces and using her powers alongside others

Dislikes

• Punk'd Le Musique
• VIPER as an organisation
• People who have an overdeveloped sense of thier own importance

Personality Profile -PRIMUS REPORT

Black Diamond's personality is generally quite accepting and calm, she is quite open minded, however this open mindedness is not to be confused with simple-mindedness. She is quite intelligent and is very adept in social gatherings and other social settings, even those she is not familiar with.

She has a close network of friends within the Summerstone Sisterhood and readily offers her assistance where she can.

Black Diamond is very proactive as a Superhero, often one of the first to respond to an international incursion or threat. Team friendly and good at handling tough situations, Black Diamond is a great asset to any team or strikeforce.

In her diamond form she seems somewhat limited in her emotional response, loosing much of her caring and sympathy, becoming impulsive, borderline reckless and always the first to start a fight. It is currently unclear whether this is due to the shape shifted state having an adverse affect on her personality or she simply exhibits a "tougher" personality in combat.

Despite her past with VIPER she doesnt seem to harbor any particular hatred towards them.

In social situations, Black Diamond is very social and enjoys loud parties and places.

To Summarise: Black Diamond, due to poor observational skills from PRIMUS Agents, her personality profile sketchy at best, however we do plan to increase our knowledge of this particular heroine.
