Background and Origin
Personal History
Sent to earth when she was a baby, Lyseria was found by an old Japanese man who raised her in the outskirts of detroit. He adopted her as his grand daughter allowing Lyseria to attend school in the city when she was old enough. Lyseria's cat-like features and tomboyish nature caused her to be teased a lot at school. This led to her starting a lot of fights with her classmates many of which ended in her being sent to the principles office. Lyseria was taught the martial arts to install a strong sense of discipline and as a natural fighter she quickly learned to harness her inner chi. When her "grandfather" decided to buy bought a bonsai tree shop in china town, Lyseria went with him so she could finish high school. Lyseria acted as a neighborhood hero during her school years, fighting the gangs in china town until she was old enough to register as a super hero with the MCPD.
Lyseria belongs to a humanoid feline species known as the Mae-bol, who are all but extinct in the galaxy. They are far stronger than humans and have a strong warrior code based on honor and pride. Almost all of the Mae-Bol race was wiped out when a meteor collided with their planet over three decades ago. Lyseria and a few others managed to escape their world's destruction and find safe haven on earth. However during this time it was discovered that a virus existed in all Mae-Bol technology it was brought to earth in the Lyseria's space pod. Fortunately the virus' programming was altered during the trip, when the ship passed through an ion storm, and much of the memories and consciousness of Seri Rachi, the scientist who created the virus, was erased. Using the materials of the space pod the virus constructed an advanced robot called Rachi 66Y that was bent on taking over the world and destroying the last remaining Mae-bol.
Luminaire is one of the oldest members of the Guardians, first invited to the group by Hocus Pocus. She served faithfully under Steel Guard and befriended many of the team and eventually was put in charge of Public Relations with other super groups and helped gather the first allies of the team. When Viper attacked the tower and the devastated the Guardians, Luminaire was trapped beneath the rubble of the tower. For days she lay broken both emotionally and physically, unable to muster the will to attempt escape, and blaming herself for the fall of the tower. Eventually she managed to free herself, thanks in part by Oracle who unknowingly helped her through that moment. Oracle and Primal Man, in an attempt to unlock Luminaire’s full potential, entered her mind and had to help Luminaire deal with several moments in her life that doubt filled her. Somehow this changed the way she remembers those events and thinks Jess and Fred where actually there.
Luminaire eventually discovered her twin from Multifara, another dimension like earth, who called herself Umbra. Umbra was sent to earth as a teenager by her mother to train and become stronger but was unable to leave do the events taking place on that earth and was pressured into joining Citizen Harmon’s elite guard. When Luminaire asked that Umbra to be allowed to join the Ultimate Guardian, after seeing the good in her, Umbra was denied and disheartened Luminaire wondered what she was still fighting for. Luminaire steped down as one of the leaders of the group and remained in the tower solely to guard Umbra who had been imprisioned by the rest of the team.
When Luminaire received a signal from what appeared to be a Mae-bol colony she decided to go insearch of her people. Thinking that she would be back fairly quickly she did not explain her absence to anyone simply vanishing one night. Security logs showed that she took Umbra with her to investigate the transmission. The ship was thrown off course when they came too close to a steller mass and they where catapulted back in time twenty years by a slingshot effect. Their ship was intercepted by a slave transport, Luminaire and Umbra where taken to an ice planet that the slavers had been mining ore using the captured Mae-bol refugees. These aliens where the same species that had invaded the Mae-bol centuries prior and had taken several hundred Mae-bol captive when they where finally driven off planet Bol.
Upon seen how the Mae-bol had been beaten and broken, Umbra talked Luminaire into staged a rebellion to overthrow their captors. Both had the strength of the Seri Mae-bol, like Sondraes, and used this to inspire the Mae-bol to take up arms. The Thaejae where quickly overthrown, the power of the Seri Mae-bol is legendary and the Thajae had to contend with two of them. The slavers driven off, Umbra was quick to establish a new Colony using the left over technology and setting herself up as leader based on her mothers bloodline. Luminaire spent some time among her people learning the ways of a Mae-bol warrior and raising her daughter Nova. However wanting no part of the growing politics she left to return to earth. Her ship crashed in the southwestern desert after entering the earth's atmosphere and from there she rejoined the Ultimate Guardians.
History of the Mae-bol
Over a thousand years ago on a faraway world lived two races, the Barbaric feline Mae-bol and the scientifically enlightened avian Seri-bol. The two races lived in uneasy truce as while the Mae-bol while stronger and more powerful they where fewer in number than the Seri-bol who also had more advanced weapons and technology. Though primitive the Mae-bol lived under a code of honor and this led them to begrudingly respect the Seri-Bol's technology.
Some say that the Seri-bol began treated the Mae-bol as a second class people and that an open revolt was inevitable. Others claimed that the Mae-bol where savages and would have attacked anyway given the right excuse. Either way when one Mae-bol was born with incredible power he led the others in an open civil war against the Seri-bol who where no match for this legendary being. The ability to transform into what was later called a Seri Mae-bol made the warrior the strongest being on the Planet.
The Mae-bol took the advanced technology of the Seri-bol for themselves and the legendary warrior founded an empire on the destroyed civilization of the defeated Seri-bol. According to myth on his death the warrior, Sondraes the Legendary, was said to have made a great journey in the spirit realm and awaits all Mae-bol warriors who die in battle. Unknown to the Mae-bol the Seri-bol’s greatest scientist Seri Rachi downloaded his consciousness into the Seri-bol technology as a sleeper virus to enact revenge upon the Mae-bol.
During the centuries that followed the Mae-bol attempted to expand out into space and attack other worlds. However the Rachi virus destroyed most of the exploration ships that where sent out. A few managed to survive and they made contact with another race on a frozen world. The Aliens, called the Thaejae by the Mae-bol, where slavers and traveled to the Mae-bol home world to enslave the population. This was the first time that the Mae-bol had ever been invaded and they fought with a ferocity worthy of Sondraes.
After the Thaejae where defeated and driven away the Mae-bol grew overconfident about there fighting abilities and technology. Over the next few centuries as they drifting further away from the teachings of Sondraes and the code of honor they once lived by becoming decadent and corrupt. Infighting among the nobles and constant civil wars destroyed much of the usable technology and structures and the Mae-bol had little resources left to rebuild them. Then one thousand years after the empire was first founded the Rachi virus reactivated and started manufacturing countless Seri-Bol robots to destroy the Mae-bol.
The Mae-bol fought a bloody war but where victorious, however in a last ditch attempt Seri Rachi, an android recreation of the Seri-Bol scientist, used a large gravity cannon to pull an asteroid from space and set it on a collision course with the planet. The last descendant of house Misease, queen of the Mae-bol and direct heir to the bloodline of Sondraes sent her only daughter in an escape pod away from the planet as the rest of her race perished in a fiery explosion.
Mae-bol Culture and Habits
Anceint Mae-bol will hunt in packs/hunting groups or alone. Their tactics vary, and they prefer active pursuit to ambush. During coursing, one or more Mae-bol will run a herd of prey-beasts, either on foot or in flight, and pick off animals of their choosing. Stalking is usually done alone, a secretive advance on the prey in question until a quick, surprise kill can be made. The Mae-bol posess no spears for throwing from a distance, instead using long-weapon pikes for hand-to-hand during battle, if weapons are used at all. Study shows that in most instances Mae-bol disdain the use of their ki-energy and prefer to engage in close-quarter hunting. A knife is usually the only weapon used by the warriors during a traditional hunt of any kind. Mhr> Pack hunting during the coursing of extremely large prey: While one hunter diverts the animal's attention, one or more other hunters rush in and attack the sides of the animal where vital internal organs are more accessible to inflicted damage. If the animal has long hair, such as mahoks and daryins, one hunter might actually attach himself to the body of the prey, holding on to the long hair with his powerful grip. With the animal thus distracted, another hunter, using bare-handed techniques, rushes in and crushes the lumbar vertebrae, or with a knife slashes open the chest cavity or cuts the tendon of the hindleg.
In modern Mae-bol culture the elite Mae-bol are organized into Houses, their strength based on the bloodline they share to Sondraes. House Misease has the most direct line to the legendary warrior and they rule over the other houses. Beyond that the Mae-bol are organized into classes based on their fighting prowess and bloodline. The most powerful male is allowed to claim several females during his mating cycle each whom he must best in ritual combat. Females are allowed to battle other females for the right to be challenged by the male. It is only during this time that a Mae-bol may change his or her class by defeating all challengers between his or her perspective mates. As Mae-bol mating cycles only happen once every 9 years it is very rare for a Mae-bol to change his or her class, however in times of war even a low ranking warrior can become an elite if they prove their prowess on the battlefield.
Powers, Skills, and Attributes
Powers
Power 1 - Put info on your power here. Be as lengthy as you like.
Power 2 - Not every hero HAS powers, of course, in which case the powers section can be deleted.
Power 3 - Just take everything from the HR tag above the Skills section, up to the "Powers" sub-header, and delete it. You can also edit the Main Header to take the word 'Powers' out of it as well.
Skills
Skill 1 - Skills are the things your character has learned to do, or has an innate talent at doing.
Skill 2 - These skills can be as mundane as painting, to more fantastical things such as enchanting items.
Skill 3 - If your character has no particular skills worth noting, feel free to follow the same directions as shown for the 'Powers' sub-header on how to remove this section.
Attributes
Super Strength - Luminaire's race is naturally strong, possessing strength equal to 6 times that of a normal human. Luminaire because of her training and use of chi can lift over 50 tons with ease.
Chi Manipulation - Luminaire has studied martial arts so much that she has mastered the art of chi manipulation, she can sense other peoples chi across great distances (over 5 miles), teleport nearly anywhere using the natural ley lines that cross the planet, and even manipulate the chi of others to a limited degree.
Transformations - The stats listed for Luminiare are when she is a Seri Mae-bol, the legendary ability of her people to transform into a powerful warrior. When not using this form her stats are reduced to Strength 6, Durability 6, Reflexes 4, and Speed 5. Luminaire however can go beyond her limits unleashing all the natural inhibitions of her body releasing 100% of her chi reserves. This transforms her into a Kaer Seri Mae-bol and increases her Strength to 10, Durability 8, and Speed to 10. However it causes massive fatigue on her body and reduces her stamina to 2, even after she stops using the form, until she has a chance to rest.
Kaer Tar - Ancient Mae-bol could transform into a large tiger like form during the spring season when a certain plant came into bloom on their home world. Thanks to events on monster island Luminaire has unlocked the ability to transform into that animal form naturally. However she does not have full control over it as the form reduces her intelligence to that of an animal. Using the Kaer Tar form she her strength becomes 10, Durability 9, Speed 5, Reflexes 6, Intelligence 2, Knowledge 3, Willpower 8, and Bravery 8.
Personality and Flaws
Complications
Fame - Luminaire is a well know public figure and does not bother with a secret identity.
Motivation - All Mae-bol enjoy fighting and will seek out strong opponents simply to test the full extent of their abilities.
Phobia - Luminaire fears failure and is not willing to see her friends hurt or killed because she can't protect them. This often causes her to fight alone even if she is out matched or when help is available.
Power Loss - Luminaire's abilities are drawn from her finite Chi energy reserves. Chi is a metaphysical life energy made up of things like vigor, courage, and being in one's true mind. It is dependent on the physical ability of the user and thus is limited by Luminaire's current heath and condition.
Quark - Mae-bol require much more food than humans do, and going to long without eating can drastically effect chi reserves.
Weakness - When a Mae-bol's tail is grabed in combat they suffer the Paralyzed condition if they fail the resist check by three degrees.
Personality
Luminaire is not very bright, while she is very skilled at martial arts and has decades of experience and wisdom she tends to be straightforward in a fight. Her Mae-bol warriors pride oftin gets her in trouble as she wants to fight opponents who are much stronger than her just for the challenge of fighting them and testing her own abilities. She is also afraid of failure, not willing to see anyone hurt or killed because she cannot protect them. Even if this mean taking greater injury by sacrificing herself to protect a fallen ally or to stop someone from being killed. This causes Luminaire to sometimes chose to fight alone even when others are around and willing to help her.
