Background

Overview

CURRENT AS OF 2010 Small-Girl is the superhero alias given to one Lacey Peters during the Qularr invasion of 2009. Newly moved to this city of heroes, Lacey was on her way home from the store when the Qularr quarantined the neighborhood under one of several force field bubbles across the city. As one of only a handful of Metahumans in this neighborhood, Lacey felt obligated to help keep the others safe, rising to the challenge as she had dreamed she would.

But that had all changed when she was psychically assaulted by a villain called Superior. She had been used to fight other heroes in the city, and made the very rash choice to allow herself to be put into hot sleep to protect her friends and family. She disappeared for four months.

When she reappeared it was revealed that she had been forcibly recruited into a fringe organization known as the Metahuman Oversight Agency. She is still dealing with the repercussions of this.

Origins

Near the Cortena nebula, some 300 light years from earth, there is a sector of space called the Chirrun sector. This sector is ruled by two competing races, the Triitans from the planet Tritus, and the Molgavians of planet Môg. Both are humanoid, though beyond physical appearance they have little in common.

The planets Môg and Tritus have been at war off and on for centuries. Their territories are adjoined, and they are surrounded on all sides by other strong empires who have no interest in them. Their squabble is much a matter of course. Currently, the planets are experiencing a tense buildup towards another possibly prolonged conflict. Different from previous wars, however, is each planet's effort to find new resources, battlegrounds and allies outside of the traditional Triitan/Molgavian territories. Thousands of Agents have been dispatched to dozens of potential worlds across the quadrant. The planet earth is a tempting target for those interested in both conquest and allegiance, possessing vast resources and powerful individuals. Dozens of agents from both worlds have become a part of earth culture in a variety of capacities.

Ka'ran of Triitan and Marissk of Molgavia were assigned as civilians, to get a good idea of how human beings lived. Each had the minor cosmetic differences between their species and humans genetically reduced, and each was given a human identity to inhabit. They lived as humans for years, but never really connected with anyone until they met each other.

Unaware of each others origins and each believing the other to be a native human, they struck up conversation which turned to friendship and eventually a passionate romance. When the time came, inevitably, when they decided to tell their secret to one another, it was too late for them to cut ties with each other, they were too much in love. Ka'ran and Marissk instead decided to cut ties with their respective governments. About a year later they were surprised with a pregnancy that they did not think was possible owing to the differences in their species.

Early Life

Lacey was born in 1995, a product of parents who were very much in love, and had altered their genetics just enough, it seemed, to create a viable offspring. A fluke, and one that despite their efforts they have not been able to replicate. Lacey's childhood was a fractured one. As she grew up, her parents were always terrified of what would happen to the three of them if they were ever discovered by one of the other agents undercover on earth.

If Lacey ever drew attention to herself, or if they ever felt like there was an agent nearby, they would pack up their meager possessions and move. In order to keep her family in any one place long enough for her to get comfortable, she learned to be clever: Hiding her powers from people she met. To protect herself from sadness, she avoided making too many friends, and tried her best to be unremarkable and ignorable at school.

Instead, she spent many long hours in her own make believe worlds, taking no the guises of many characters and people in many situations. She read a a great amount of comic books and novels, and tried to lead an insular life.

Of course these books filled her head with ideas about heroism and valor and responsibility. When she eventually heard the call to become a hero herself, she could scarcely ignore it.

Powers

Lacey's peoples have a few inherent abilities that make them evenly matched. Though it might be expected that her mixed heritage would dilute these abilities, it seems it has instead enhanced them.

The Triitan for example, develop the ability in early childhood to create a personalized gravitic orientation, which is useful on their planet's sheer cliff faces and winding cavern tunnels. It allows them to reorient their 'down' and walk on walls and ceilings with little more effort than the ground.

Môg, on the other hand, is an old world whose atmosphere is thinning and gravity is high. On this planet, the Molgavian people developed tough skin that absorbs their sun's radiation and converts it into energy, which supplements their meager diets. Their skeletons and muscles are also, by galactic standards, very dense. The result is a creature that in the milder conditions of most other planets is stronger, faster, and tougher than most other sentient life.

Lacey's powers draw from her heritage, but are much more effective. Her gravity warping powers are more finely tuned, allowing her to ignore gravity completely and fly through the sky. Her radiation absorbent skin and superdense body allow her to similarly ignore many kinds of danger, and grants her extreme levels of strength. In both cases she has already exceeded the level of professional athletes with years of intense training on her parent's worlds.

The amazing thing about Small-Girl is her potential. While her power level is impressive, the fact that she has attained this level of power before turning sixteen is much more impressive.

OOC Inspiration

Small-Girl was inspired by the Superman family. I wanted to make a superman Homage that wasn't a blatant copy, so I took a few basic ideas and warped them to my twisted will. Her powers come in part from the sun, her flight comes from a personalized gravity, she's an alien on planet earth, she wears a cape, etc. She is also something of a parody of superman since she's a little girl. Go figure.

RPHOOKS

Lacey is a scamp. She is fighting crime against her parent's wishes, and has a big mouth. For any alien characters, the Feud war between the Triitan and Molgavian is sort of a galactic joke, like the famous feud between the Hatfields and the McCoys. If she ever describes her parents' situation, it may be possible for your alien to figure out what planets she is talking about even though she didn't mention them by name.

Superheroes and Supervillains understandably underestimate her strength and invulnerability. By all appearances she is an underweight, gangly little girl with stringy hair and too many freckles: Not the sort you expect to hold her own in a fight.

She fights viciously and savagely, like someone who doesn't quite know the "rules" of combat. She'll gouge, scratch, pull, and knee anything she feels necessary to end a fight. This lends to her surprising strength.
