Difference between revisions of "Starstorm"

Born to a pair of loving parents in the year 1980 and growing up on their small farm in the rural fields of Bowen, Kentucky,

a young Jackie Knight would often find herself lying in the hayloft at night, gazing up at the night sky, imagining herself soaring through the stars like the many Super powered

Heroes that she, and many other children like her idolized.

Life on the farm offered little to help her achieve her dream. It did however grant her the strength and grit she would one day need.

Soon after turning 14, Jackie was out in the cornfields one evening when a massive shadow darkened a wide circle of the field around her.

She looked up to see a massive, technologically advanced Sky-Ship, black smoke and sparks pouring from a massive, visible breach in it's hull.

Jackie was now, live and in person, witnessing a Superhero Battle.

The Sky-Ship was the mobile headquarters of the nefarious Super Criminal and Mad Scientist, 'Dr. Abner Von Stax', who was using a device he had constructed on board, designed to

tear a hole in the fabric of time and space in an attempt to obtain a fabled and powerful energy source.

The villain had succeeded in creating a dimensional breach, but before he could claim the fruits of his labor, he was thwarted by the famed Superhero, 'The Vanguard',

Who managed to burst his way onto the Sky-Ship and destroy Stax's machine before it could pull his prize through, bringing the madman to justice in the process.

Unbeknownst to neither Hero or Villain, something indeed 'did' come through the dimensional breach.

Jackie looked on in comfort and awe as a warm, golden, shifting glow streamed down the night sky as though it were liquid light.

The light danced towards her, almost as though it were studying her. In this moment Jackie knew that this swirling energy was a living entity.

The entity, sensing in the child her kindness, her purity, her honesty and her bravery, chose to bestow itself upon her.

Bathing the terrified young girl in a vibrant gold flash of cosmic energies, the entity bonded itself with young Jackie,

changing her in ways that she could never have even imagined.

In 1994, Jackie was enrolled at Bowen Consolidated High School.

While never a exceptional in the way of academics, her determination rewarded her with more than acceptable grades.

Making friends came with relative ease given her warm hearted nature and kind personality, However she was beginning to notice radical changes to herself,

and after confiding in her parents about what was happening to her, and that summer night in the corn field, they collectively decided that it would

be in Jackies best interest to hide these changes from her friends, for the risk of the wrong people becoming aware.

Jackies physical frame was beginning to grow and change over the course of the final summer weeks before school began,

her 14 year old body had quickly developed into that of a 20 year old woman of considerable muscle build and a height of nearly 6'2, towering over other teenagers her age.

Within the first few weeks of highschool, Jackie would discover her steadily increasing physical strength, preventing a jacked up field tractor from collapsing on her father

as he worked under it with virtually no physical strain whatsoever. She and her shocked father spent the evening attempting to test the limits of Jackies newfound strength.

One day, a boy Jackie had met in school was accosted by some local bullies who chased him up the Bowen County water tower, where he remained trapped, afraid to climb back down

for fear of falling.

Stumbling across the scene, Jackie swiftly made her way up the ladder and talked the boy into climbing onto her back for rescue.

The old ladder rungs could handle the combined weight of both teens and one snapped in her hands,

Instead of falling to what could have been their untimely end, Jackie opened her squinted eyes to see that she was floating in the air, the teenage boy still on her back, passed out from terror.

Upon safely placing the unconscious teen on the grass below, Jackie fled the scene to avoid any potential witnesses to her incredible abilities.

Despite her parents objections, Jackie decided to cobble together a costume to hide her identity, as she fully intended to continue to try to help the people

of her small hometown with her new abilities anyway she could. Heroism had become her passion.

Eventually befriending and confiding in the teenage boy she saved, 'Mitchell Bran' became one of her closest friends, her high school prom date, and the only individual outside of her parents

to know about Jackies incredible powers.

In the year 1999, Jackie, having graduated from highschool, is convinced by her father to move to the newly built Millennium City to study agriculture at

the brand new Millennium City University.

Being a 19 year old girl from a small, southern town, Jackie was quickly overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of the massive city.

Seeing the ugly face of organized street crime and the struggles that many people had to face just by living here, Jackie began leading a double life

Studying at MCU during the daylight hours, and attempting to clean up the streets of Millennium City by night,

earning herself the moniker of 'Brightstar' from the media due to eye-witnesses snapping photographs of her in her Star themed costume, soaked in her golden aura.

Her tenure at MCU was a short one, as she was quickly expelled from the University after hospitalizing a pair of young men on campus who were attempting to force themselves on

a classmate of hers.

Faced with the decision to go back home to the farm, or to stay and attempt to help clean the streets of MC, Jackies mind was made up when she found herself fighting back to back with the 'Golden Avenger' himself against a swarm of VIPER forces that had attacked UNTIL headquarters.

Inspired by the prolific heroes praise of her performance, Jackie decided to remain in Millennium City, and be a full fledged SuperHero.

By the year 2001, Jackie had updated her uniform to one of a more professional quality, also adpoting the new moniker of 'Starstorm'.

To make a living she took a job as a waitress at Darrens Pizza in Westside, working during the day and continuing to defend the innocents of the neighborhood in the evenings.

Over the course of the next few years, Jackie would find herself working alongside other costumed heroes, such as Kinetic, The Guardian, Iron Clad, Sapphire, Dr.Ka, Astron, Nighthawk, Siege

and Defender, to name a few.

Many of her missions brought her to various locations around and off of the planet, and she was beginning to earn a positive reputation in the hero community.

In the year 2005, Starstorm first crossed paths with the sinistere CEO of corporate tech-mogul 'Deviascorp', and super criminal mastermind, 'Max Devias'

Although a madman, the billionaires intellect was difficult to match, and after numerous encounters, with neither side gaining any true upper-hand,

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

---

Attribute 1 - Attributes are physical or mental traits, separate from powers in most cases, though possibly enhanced by them.

---

Attribute 2 - Attributes can be things such as flexibility, or being naturally acrobatic, or good eye-hand coordination perhaps.

---

Attribute 3 - Again, like the last two, if you have no use for it, delete this section. You can also ALTER the section if there is something missing that you would find more fitting.

Gear and Equipment

Gear

---

Weapon - Gear and equipment are the things your character carries around and uses. These can be things like weapons and armor.

Armor - Feel free to use this section to name and describe the gear that your character uses, if any. Be, again, as lengthy as you like.

---

This section is specifically for a spouse, lover, or some other form of paramour. Feel free to use any of the formatting from 'Friends/Allies' below.

Friends/Allies

---

Put any friends or allies your character may have in here. You may give them descriptions or simply list them. To make a numbered list, simply place a # at the beginning of each new line:

1. This guy
2. That guy
3. Some chick

For a non-numbered list, put an asterisk instead (the lines are optional. Simply remove the HR tags if you wish to remove them):

---

• This guy

---

• That guy

---

• Some chick

---

Or, you could even use a smaller sub-header for each person, effectively creating a small section on them, like this:

That Guy I Know

---

Put info on the friend here.

---

That Chick I Met

---

And here.

---

Some Dude at the Bar

---

Don't forget this one.

---

Enemies

---

Put any rivals or enemies here. You can give descriptions, or simply list them. Same idea as the Allies and Friends.
