Star Girl

Star Girl is a rookie crime-fighter who gets her powers from an alien super suit.

Description
As Star Girl: Star Girl is a blonde-haired crimefighter, wearing a blueish-black body suit. She stands about 5' 5" tall with a slender and athletic build. Her uniform bears a white eight-pointed starburst on her chest, and the icon is echoed on her back, and on the backs of her gloved hands. The uniform is seamless and doesn't offer any hints to how is was constructed. She wears a mask that covers her eyes, ears, and neck, but leaves her mouth and scalp uncovered, allowing for her shoulder length blonde hair. The eyelets white, opaque, and very expressive.

In Civilian Clothes: Casey is an attractive girl in her late teens to early twenties. She's just under five and a half feet tall with slender build that looks toned by regular exercise. She's got shoulder length blonde hair, which she usually wears in a pony-tail. Right now, she's dressed casually in a CSBU t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers.

Origin
It started as a fun getaway Casey and her friends drove out to a lake house that belonged to the family of one of her friends, for a weekend of swimming, sunning, and bonding around a fire. One night during the trip, the sky was lit up by shooting stars. One of the shooting stars crashed into the woods close to the cabin. Casey and her friends went to go check it out.

The shooting star turned out to be a crashed alien spacecraft. The sole passenger was a blue skinned humanoid alien who was badly hurt and trapped in the wreckage. While her friends stayed back at a safe distance, Casey rushed in to try and help the alien. While Casey struggled to try and dislodge the piece of the hull that pinned the alien, the ship's power source began to overload. Just before the source exploded, the alien transferred its space suit to Casey, saying, "Protect yourself!" The alien's space suit became fluid and flowed over Casey's form.

In the aftermath of the explosion, Casey's friends thought that she had been atomized by the blast, along with the alien and most of the wreckage. Instead, the suit had protected her. Aside from being tossed 20 meters by the blast, she was completely untouched. In the months that followed,Casey decided to put her newfound abilities to work as a superhero. She doesn't understand the full powers of the suit that she's inherited.

Powers
Star's powers come from an alien battle suit. The suit itself is a living organism that's thin and stretchy, like spandex, but very durable and comfortable to wear.

Protective Energy Field: Star's suit generates a protective energy field. The field is more effective against energy attacks than it is against physical ones, perhaps indicating that it was originally designed for energy-based combat. The suit also protects its user from extreme environmental conditions like extreme heat, cold, and radiation. In addition, it can generate air for an indefinite period of time. The field remains invisible unless it's deflecting an attack or shielding its user from the elements in those cases it appears as a pale, blue aura.

Sensory Abilities: The suit has lenses and a heads-up display that augment Casey's normal vision. In addition to being able to see farther and more clearly than normal, she's also able to see in the infrared spectrum. The suit is able to understand any terrestrial language, as well as the language of any Guild alien race. The English translation appears in field of vision, like subtitles. While she can understand many languages, she can only speak in the languages that she personally knows.

Physical Abilities: The suit augments Casey's physical attributes. While wearing it, she's faster, stronger, and more durable.

Movement Abilities: The suit allows Casey's to run and jump faster and further than she could unaided. Also, the suit can stretch to provide gliding surfaces like a wing suit would.

Energy Projection: The suit is armed with an energy projection system that allows Casey to fire blasts from her hands. She doesn't fully understand how to trigger the blasts getting them to fire properly requires a Concentration roll on her part.

Personality
At her core, Casey is an optimist. She believes that with enough work and a little luck, anyone can accomplish their goals. Occasionally, she has doubts about her new life as a super hero and in her life as a college freshman, starting at the bottom rung of the social ladder again. She's outgoing, cheerful, and no stranger to practice and to teamwork, from her experience as a cheerleader. Perhaps, she's also little bit sheltered in her upbringing. Casey's not reckless, nor does she enjoy violence. Given a chance, she tries to find peaceful solutions to problems.

Relations
Casey's college roommate and best friend is Kotone. Currently she's dating Victory. Presently, she's a junior member of Starguard Gamma.

History
Before the incident that gave Casey her powers, she lived a fairly mundane live. She was born on December 4th, 2048, the older of two children, the daughter of an upper middle class family living in the Los Angeles suburbs. She was one of the popular kids in school, and she planned mainly on going to college in California and finding herself.

After the incident, her focus changed completely. The things that seemed important at one time became dwarfed by her new reality. Superhero hadn't occurred to her as a possible occupation, and aliens seemed like faraway things that would never affect her life. She decided to apply to CBSU on the strength of their alien studies program, figuring that at it might help her to learn more about the origin of her suit.
