Flair

 

Felicite Laroche / Lang Far

 

Character Sheet (Click Here)

 

Background

Felicite's mother along with three of her sisters fled Hong Kong for Seychelles fearing that the Chinese were going to take over the city from the British earlier than was planned. Her mother was a famous actress from the seventies in Hong Kong along with her sisters who were known as the Seven Sisters of Shaolin. Felicite's mother married a fisherman in Victoria. Her mother and her sisters set up a home, while her father kept out of the way on his boat.

 

 

Growing up with her mother and her aunties, Felicite heard countless tales of Hong Kong. In addition to the fascinating tales, Felicite learned the Seven Sisters of Shaolin style of Kung Fu. From the age of six, Felicite spent several hours a day studying under her mother and her aunties. Over the years Felicite quickly mastered the secrets of kung fu, eventually learning all the secrets of the Seven Sisters of Shaolin style.

 

 

Felicite always that living in Seychelles was too provincial for her. She longed for the Hong Kong that her mother and aunties spoke of. Felicite was barely eighteen when she stowed away in a freighter bound for Hong Kong.

 

 

Hong Kong was all that Felicite wished for and feared. In Hong Kong, Felicite made contact with her aunties that had remained in the city and stayed with them for awhile. It was her aunties who got Felicite into the movies. At first Felicite go a few bit parts, but soon the directors notices her natural beauty and grace. Using the assumed name, Lang Far broke into pictures. Her first movie was called “The Golden Mask of Madame Ling.” Far was great in the role, however, the producers failed to give the Triads their bribe, so the movie was never released. In fact Far has the only surviving copy of the film. Another thing that Far kept from the movie was the mask.

 

 

Her next film is the one that made her a household name in Hong Kong. It was film titled “The Princess and the Silver Sword”, in which she played the title role of Princess Butterfly. This was also the film where she met Peter Fu, one of the greatest stuntmen in Hong Kong. Peter played male lead in the film, and the two hit it off quite well, even though Peter was always accusing Far of always hamming it up too much. After the movie wrapped the two dated for awhile.

 

 

Both Far and Peter were quite wild in those days, and liked to live life on the edge. One evening they were invited by Smiling Charlie Man, a leader among the 14k Triad to a little party he was throwing on his private yacht in Victoria Harbor. As the party progressed, Smiling Charlie had his men bring out a huge circular mat. When laid out the Taijitu symbol was laid out over the deck. This was greeted by cheers by many of Smiling Charlies' guests. Far and Peter were intrigued by this. Soon a hulking Korean by the name of Kim Sun Lee came out on deck and took his place on the mat. The crowd roared at the sight of Kim Sun Lee. From the opposite side of the yacht came Song Zuang, a low level member of the 14k Triad. Zuang looked frightened out of his life.

 

 

“Today,” said Smiling Charlie Man to the crowd, “Song Zuang has transgressed against his family. However, the family, his brothers, are always forgiving. A test must be in order, a test that will show the Gods that Song Zuang is truly repentant. In this circle he shall face Kim Sun Lee.”

 

 

The crowd went wild. Bets were taken and Song Zuang was clearly the underdog. Even Far put a bet on Kim Sun Lee, but Peter demurred. Far chided him on this. However, the disagreement didn't last long because the fight started.

 

 

Like a tiger, Kim Sun Lee struck first with a flying side kick, which was amazing in itself because the Korean was so big. Song Zuang tried to dodge, but the kick clipped Song Zuang's shoulder sending him sprawling out of the circle into the waiting arms of the crowd. Without pause they threw Song Zuang back into the fight and the waiting Kim Sun Lee. Song Zuang was right in line for a punch straight to the face. He went down without a groan.

 

 

Again cheers went up, and money quickly changed hands. Far was quite pleased at how well she did. Smiling Charlie came and stood over the fallen Song Zuang, who was still unconscious and said, “The Gods turn a blind eye to you Song Zuang. The family rejects you. You have a day to get out of Hong Kong. Get him out of my sight.” With a flick of his hand Smiling Charlie motioned to his men to haul Song Zuang away.

 

 

“Not much of a fight,” said Far to Peter, but Smiling Charlie overheard her.

 

 

“So, you weren't entertained my dear.”

 

 

“Not really, poor Zuang didn't really have much of a chance.”

 

 

“Ah but that is all that life offers us my dear, chances. Song Zuang had his chance. His failure to succeed is what costs him most. Perhaps, you Peter Fu, would have more of a 'chance' against Kim Sun Lee?”

 

 

Far bridled a little at this. She knew her kung fu was better than that silly Jeet Kune Do that Peter subscribed to. Smiling Charlie should have asked her fight the Korean. She knew that she had a better 'chance' than Peter. However, before she could say anything Peter was handing her his jacket.

 

 

“Please hold this,” he said with a smile. Far was tempted to throw the jacket back in his face, but before she knew it, Peter was taking off his shirt. He certainly had a fine physique and Far kept her mouth shut. For some reason, Far mused, Jeet Kune Do practitioners liked to show of their chests. It was all Bruce Lee's fault.

 

 

With a spring in his step Peter jumped in the circle. However Kim Sun Lee was waiting for him. Letting out a wild yell Kim Sun Lee leaped into the air delivering a roundhouse kick, but Peter proved to be quick on the uptake, and got both arms up in a block, and while Peter slide backwards a few inches the kick lost a lot of its power. This also allowed Peter to follow up with an elbow strike to Kim Sun Lee's solar plexus that caused the Korean to let a loud whoosh as the air was forced out of his lungs. Kim Sun Lee rolled backwards in a ball, but with incredible grace was instantly back on his feet charging back at Peter. The crowd roared and more and more bets were made. With a sweeping kick, Kim Sun Lee took Peter's legs out from under him, and Peter fell hard down on the mat. A trickle of blood leaked from his nose as he hit the mat. A smile crossed Kim Sun Lee, first blood was his. Kim Sun Lee pounced. The Korean was in the process of delivering a front kick right down on a prone Peter when he reached up and grabbed Kim Sun Lee's foot preventing the Korean from delivering. With a twist, Kim Sun Lee was throw back into the crowd. However, this time the crowd parted and the Korean slammed back first into the railing and almost toppled over into the harbor. Kim Sun Lee was slow to regain his feet, while Peter waiting patently in the circle doing a little martial arts dance in anticipation. Sweat glistened on his skin making him practically glowing in the moonlight. Kim Sun Lee spat on the deck and with a roar charged. Peter was waiting for him. As soon as Kim Sun Lee came into the circle, Peter's knee came up slamming into the jaw of the Korean. Teeth shattered under the impact of Peter's knee strike. Without a sound Kim Sun Lee fell backwards out of the circle like a fallen tree. The crowd was stunned. No one thought that an actor like Peter Fu could so easily defeat a monster like Kim Sun Lee. However after a moment the crowd was cheering for Peter, everyone except Far, who had lost her bet. Handshakes and slaps on the back quickly followed. Far wanting to be the center of attention planted a passionate kiss on Peter as celebration of his winning, but inside Far seethed. She should have been the one to fight Kim Sun Lee.

 

 

After that night, Peter and Far grew apart. When Peter survived his incredible fall on the set Guns of the Plum King, Far tried to see him, but was politely and firmly told her mind her own business by the security guards at the door to his hospital room. That was the last time for a few years that Far heard anything about Peter Fu. Instead Far concentrated on her movie career, but that night on Smiling Charlie yacht ate at her. It should have been her. She had more style, more flair than Peter Fu. Far had to do something about it.

 

 

It was six months after Peter's disappearance that Far made an appearance at Smiling Charlie Man's yacht. This time no one knew her because she was wearing the golden mask from “The Golden Mask of Madame Ling.” Smiling Charlie greeted her cordially, but obviously wasn't happy to see her. The Immortals were said to have been seen in Hong Kong, and that could only be bad for business. Smiling Charlie feared that the mystery woman was one of the so-called Chinese super-heroes. However, when his guests were clamoring for 'entertainment', Smiling Charlie felt he had no choice.

 

 

When the first round of fighting started, Far jumped right in the middle of it. She performed Fang's Irresistible Kick against one breaking his leg in the process, and then turning in a whirlwind move performed Yumie's Powerful Punch on the other. The man fell backwards into the crowd spitting blood and teeth.

 

 

“There,” said Far, “I show you. I show you all, all it takes is a little style, a little flair.”

 

 

The crowd, and Smiling Charlie were outraged.

 

 

“I don't know who you are lady, but you've pissed of someone you'd rather not,” growled Smiling Charlie as he pulled out a handgun.

 

 

“Guns are for amateurs,” said Far as she leaped right in front of Smiling Charlie, “I prefer the flair of a flying fist and the style of deadly kick.”

 

 

Far grabbed a hold of Smiling Charlies' lapels of his jacket before he could even get his gun free. With a deft twist, Smiling Charlie was screaming through the air as Far performed Jun's Heavenly Throw. Smiling Charlie flew through the night sky of Victoria Harbor splashing down almost a mile away. Meanwhile other 14k Triad members swarmed Far. Blow upon blow rained down on her, but through it all Far kept to her feet thanks to the Ling's Iron Will maneuver. Far dished out crippling blows, and devastating kicks, and she felt that she was doing it all with the flair that she knew only she possessed. In the end none of the Triad members could stand up to her.

 

 

“Who are you?” asked the last conscious Triad through broken teeth.

 

 

“Oh who me,” said Far coyly, “you may call me Flair. You're little boys' club needs an airing out. I'm here to provide that. Oh stop looking at me like that. I'm not going to take over. That would be just too much work. Instead, I'm offering you boys a little something your probably familiar with, protection.”

 

 

“Protection, but you're just a woman,” said the Triad. This was the last thing he said before Far drop kicked him into the harbor.

 

 

A week later several members of the 14k Triad met with Flair and gave into her demands. Flair would act as a bodyguard for certain members of the triads and for this she would be paid handsomely, but make no mistake, Flair had style and her style was Seven Sisters of Shaolin style kung fu. Any Triad who got out of line would pay for it.

 

Personality

Far thinks she is the only martial artist who has any style, and is only too happy to point it out to any opponent. She's constantly pointing out to her foes their shortcomings, and mistakes. Most times, Far cannot resist taunting her foes. Usually her opponents find this disconcerting and thus give Far an edge against them. Of course there have been a few that find the taunting impossible to take and really blow their cork. Against foes obviously in a blood rage, Far will switch her tactics to a more defensive position and let her foe wear themselves out before providing the finishing maneuver.

 

 

Far makes no bones about it, but she doesn't like firearms. Those who use firearms against Far, usually get the worst end of the deal. Far has little mercy for those who pull guns on her. Far believes in the flair of flying fists and deadly kicks. Firearms are for the unenlightened and the desperate. Those who don't measure up to Far's standards are sure to get themselves hurt.

 

 

Like Peter Fu the Stuntman, Far has an actors need to show off. Her favorite way to show off is to beat the stuffing out of a hapless foe in such a way to demonstrate to the whole world what a great martial artist she is. Far doesn't go for simple punches or kicks. Her attacks always must have flair, grace, and usually end up with her foes spitting teeth.

 

 

Far also knows that she's very beautiful, and this is possibly the one of the reasons why she wears the golden mask as protection against blows to her beautiful face. However, even with the mask it's obvious to anyone who looks at her that Far is quite attractive. Far goes out of her way to remind everyone of this fact too.

 

Quote

"What you really need is a little style, a little flair."

 

Powers

Felicite is an accomplished martial artists, possibly the only one today who practices Seven Sisters of Shaolin style kung fu. The only others who really know the martial arts are her mother and her aunties. The style is quite flashy, involving wild punches and dead kicks. The style was developed by Felicite's mothers and aunties while performing in kung fu movies before the Chinese took over Hong Kong. In addition to the standard maneuvers that Felicite learned there were seven other special maneuvers that she has learned as well. Most of the special maneuvers are just more powerful versions of the Seven Sisters of Shaolin maneuvers, but a few of them border upon the surreal. Ling's Iron Will allows Felicite to ignore almost any physical blow, and often times she'll use this maneuver along with more standard maneuvers to devastating effect. One of the oddest maneuvers is her Min's Distracting Dance, which creates multiple images of Felicite, which most foes are unable to differentiate between the illusion of Felicite and the real one.

 

 

Felicite is extremely graceful and dexterous able to dodge not only bullets and arrows, but on occasion has even been able to dodge energy blasts. Naturally, Felicite is in tip top physical condition, on equal level to the most fit Olympic athlete. She practices her kung fu several hours a day, a tradition instilled in her by her mother and her aunties. Due to conditioning, Felicite is able to run and leap over long distances with ease. Felicite has also been known to run up walls as if they were vertical surfaces.

 

 

Felicite also wears a golden mask, which she took from the filming of “the Golden Mask of Madame Ling.” While wearing the mask, Felicite is protected from most flash attacks, and the mask also inhibits the use of mental powers against her.

 

Appearance

Felicite is of Eurasian descent. Her mother is from Hong Kong, while her father is of French descendent from Seychelles. To most people who meet Felicite or Flair for that matter don't realize that she isn't fully Chinese. Only those few who speak to her in English would note a slight French accent. Felicite is a small woman with delicate features. She has long dark raven locks, which she usually has pulled back into a pony tail. Felicite doesn't wear a standard costume, but wears a variety of silk cheongsams that has a slit that runs up over her thigh. Felicite believes this gives her more maneuverability. It also gives a view of her incredible legs.

 

 

In addition to her daring dresses, Felicite wears a golden mask that covers the majority of her face. While wearing her mask, it is impossible to see what looks like, and so far even the Triads have been able to like Flair with the actress Lang Far.

#156 THE FREE MEN (Sierra Leone)

 

freemen.jpg

 

THE FREE MEN

Agents of Solomon Bangura

Character Sheet (Click Here)

 

Background

The Free Men were established in Sierra Leone after the bloody civil war ended in 2002. When the United Nations left three years later, the Free Men's founder, Solomon Bangura, was established as the new president. Since then Bangura has passed anti-uberhuman legislation which now prohibits any ubers from operating within its boundaries. Popular belief amongst Sierra Leoneans is that ubers were responsible for the war and Bangura's government is active in the reinforcement of these beliefs.

 

The agents who work for the government are most likely taken from the military, although not much is known about their origins at all. The technology that they use is highly advanced and SAGE believes it is extraterrestrial. Whether or not this is true is unknown, but the Free Men are ardent followers of the Bangura regime and hunt out uberhumans within the borders of Sierra Leone, as well as sometimes offering their services to other governments. There are rumours that an uberhuman detention facility has been established in northern Sierra Leone, but again, nothing has been confirmed.

 

Personality

The Free Men are secretive and loyal. They do not publicly contradict their superiors and follow their assignments with precision. When on a mission they operate effectively in co-ordinated synergy, utilising their high tech communicators and teleportation ability to sneak in and grab their target.

 

Quote

"'Port in, grab the demon and get out again. No heroics."

 

Powers

The Free Men uniform is composed of a highly resistant polymer, possibly alien in origin. It has a fine layer of electronics in between its protective coating which enables them to form teleportational fields, the range of which is approximately 30m. The uniforms also possess potent psychic-shielding and an advanced communications system which has never been hacked into, despite some governments' best attempts.

 

The Free Men use two weapons: an energy pistol and a tangle web sphere. When their mission is to capture an uberhuman they generally teleport in and restrain the target with the tangle web and then teleport back out again. They can also simply teleport in, grab the target and teleport out again if the target is less dangerous. All agents are trained in hand to hand combat.

 

Appearance

The Free Men wear a black uniform which assists them in their covert operations. Their entire body is covered.

#157 EVOLINA KHAN (Singapore)

 

evolina.png

 

EVOLINA KHAN

 

Doctor Eve Adams-Khan

 

Character Sheet (Click Here)

 

Background

It was all Evol Khans' fault. Well, in so far that he is really Dr. Eve Addams-Khans' father, despite the nasty rumor Eve is Evol Khan's clone. Eve is actually the daughter of one of Evol Khans' concubines. Later, when Eve showed some promise, Evol Khan actually adopted her, a rare treat for one of his bastard children.

 

 

There is not much doubt who her father was and so when Eve was only twelve years old, she graduated from the Santo Miguel Boarding School in Andorra, an ultra-exclusive boarding school. Evol Kahn paid for Eve´s tuition in some of the best scientific universities in the world. Eve studied hard and wanted to go into medicine. She probably would have made a very good doctor, but while trying to get her grad paper ready she stumbled upon some old papers from Doctor Sukamo in her fathers' study. Little did Eve know that Doctor Sukamo and Doctor Komodo were the same person.

 

 

Eve was fascinated with the lost papers of Doctor Komodo. She started to apply her considerable intellect upon the problems described in those papers and within a very short time she was able to solve a few problems that had so far stumped of the most famous geneticists in the world, including Doctor Komodo. Fortunately, Eve was smart enough to realize how far ahead of the rest of the scientists she was and she concealed her breakthrough at forced growth. In less than a year after discovering the papers, Eve graduated with honors.

 

 

The scientific community was astonished about what Eve had accomplished in so short a time, and Eve was lauded as a Wunderkind the world over. Even her father was impressed. Using his vast fortune and immense power, Evol Khan opened a few doors in Singapore for and Eve went for it.

 

 

Her first foray into business was the establishment of the Khan Institute, which became one of the most important think tanks in south east Asia. Only the Superhuman, Arcane, Genetic, and Extra-terrestrial Investigators or S.A.G.E., and the Numen-Kami Institute can boast of having more intellectuals on staff. With the backing of Evol Khan, Evoline has gone further in founding a subsidiary to the Khan Institute, called the Khan Medical Industries. Khan Medical Industries, is the largest producers of medicine that deal with genetics, in the world. There have been a few times that Eves' daddy has asked for assistance, and Eve has only been too happy to help. Eve has become Evol Khan's scientific expert since Doctor Crab has returned to Japan.

 

 

Her nickname, Evolina, comes from her fascination with the evolutionary theory and of course the fact that she is daddy's little girl.

 

Personality

Eve loves her father and science, in that order. She looks up to Evol Khan, as if he were her hero. The way she looks at it, if it wasn't for Evol Khan, she wouldn't be where she is today, one of the most brilliant minds in the world. Following a close second in her affection in science. Unfortunately for Eve, ethics has little to do with the way she thinks. For Eve, ethics are for lesser men, and it is the end result that counts in her book.

 

 

Eve believes that she's doing mankind a favor by tampering with the genetic code. Her bodyguards are a prime example of her improvements. They are stronger, faster, and more resilient than a normal person could be. Just because they're also extremely violent at times is just a minor side effect, one which Eve will solve in the next batch.

 

 

Some of her success, has certainly gone to Eve's head. She has always had a competitive streak in her, and isn't above ruining a fellow scientists life and reputation so long as it furthers her career. Those scientists who prove too stupid to not agree with Eve's findings occasionally will have a visit from one of bodyguards.

 

Quote

"I think I could do it better."

 

Powers

Eve has tampered a little with her own genetic structure. As such she is now completely immune to almost any disease, or bio-warfare agent. Eve needs little sleep, and has extended her life expectancy to an unknown level. Her flesh is more resistant to lethal blows. Eve has been shot before by rivals, and has come back to attend their funerals. She has always been an athletic woman, and with a little alteration can run and swim like an Olympic athlete. Lastly, Eve doesn't miss anything. This is something she has been able to do since childhood.

 

 

Since Eve was a teenager, she has studied Pentiak Silat, or Indonesian stick fighting. Eve considers herself quite adapt in the martial arts. Even with her martial arts background, Eve knows she has a target painted on her back, and the best way to protect herself was to modify a few of her bodyguards. These ten men guard Eve day and night. Each is capable of putting his fist through a brick wall. While not powerful enough to probably stop a super-hero, a normal person wouldn't stand a chance against them.

 

Appearance

Eve is a ravishing Eurasian woman with long straight black hair. She looks more Asian than European, but Asians certainly know that Eve isn't one of them. Eve stands taller than more Asian women, and even a few the men as well. Her brown eyes are also more European than Asian as well. Eve also appears to be younger than what most people would think when they first meet her. She is often pleased when people complement her on how young she looks. To this Eve usually says that it is because of “good genetics”.

 

 

When out in the public, usually with her father, Evol Khan, Eve dresses in the finest and most expensive of silk dresses with matching handbag and shoes. Eve is considered one of the best dressed women in Singapore. However, in her usual environment, the dresses are replaced with more casual clothes and the standard lab coat, a few spots of unidentified matter splattered on the sleeves.

#158 STAR FIST (Slovakia)

 

starfist.png

STAR FIST

Alena Štefánik

 

Character Sheet (Click Here)

Background

The finals at University of Bratislava had been brutal, and Alena needed a serious break from all the studying she had been doing for months. When her friend Anna suggested that they go skiing in the High Tatras Mountains, Alena jumped at it. She quickly packed her Yugo and away she went. Her Yugo might have been a relic from a bygone day, but at least it worked, and Alena had stopped paying attention to that 'Check Engine Soon' light years ago.

 

 

Alena growled as she made her way out of Bratislava, the traffic had been horrific, and she was late getting up into the mountains. She refrained from cursing under her breathe when she remembered that one of her headlights didn't work. Normally Alena only drove her car during the day. However, as she headed up into the mountains Alena turned up the radio and put shifted the cranky gear shift into the next gear. Alena was singing along to a Pink song and whipping around corners too fast when she barely saw the hay wagon before it was too late. In a panic Alena swerved to miss the hay wagon. Tires screeched and the nearby guardrail shattered into a little pieces of steel as the Yugo went airborne. Things seemed to go in slow motion and Alena barely had time to scream.

 

 

Bright lights flared out of nowhere illuminating the night sky over the High Tatras Mountains. The Yugo plummeted down into a ravine where it promptly exploded into a massive fireball, just like in the movies. As for Alena, she saw it all. She standing looking down at the scene of the accident the wind gently ruffling her her short hair. Plus she was standing in mid-air and that was certainly a new experience for the college student. Another scream felt like it was coming up and Alena fought it down. Alena turned her head to look back at the road she had just left moments ago. She knew that she shouldn't been alive and couldn't explain it. Alena blinked back tears, and as she did the blinding flash of light came again. When Alena finally got control of herself, she saw that she was no longer standing over a ravine in the High Tatras Mountains, but was standing on the road once again. This was too much for the young woman and she went to her knees retching.

 

 

A few minutes later a shaky Alena got back to her feet. Looking around for the hay wagon, she didn't see it at all. This angered Alena a lot. The jerk hadn't even stayed around to see what had happened to her. The anger was hard to control, and without thinking Alena lashed out. Her fist slammed into the cliff side and again came the blinding light. This time, however, there was a loud explosion as several cubic meters of rock, and dirt were obliterated in the blink of an eye. Alena couldn't believe it. In stunned silence she looked down at her hands, which glowed slightly in the moonlight. She had done this, she had somehow rescued herself from her plunging car.

 

 

The trip back to Bratislava was one which Alena did her best to forget, however, all along the way she kept asking herself how she would dealt with this. She had super-powers. Would she use them for good or would she use them for evil? Would she ever really have them under control? Alena just couldn't be sure.

 

 

A week after getting back home and telling everyone that her car had been stolen and finding that no one really cared, Alena stumbled across an ad in the paper for a new dojo opening near the university. Alena thought karate would be perfect to help her control her powers. Often times Alena would find her hands glowing when she got upset or really excited. It turned out that karate was part of the answer for Alena.

 

 

One night after sitting down in front of the TV, Alena caught a newscast on GUNN the Global Uber News Network. In nearby Sarajevo the Serbian Six were confronting the Dawnstars. Alena was mesmerized by what she saw on the TV. There were loud explosions all over the place. A cheerful Terry Davis, star report for GUNN, attempted to report on the mayhem. In the end the Dawnstars were victorious even though a good chunk of Sarajevo had been damaged in the melee. After watching the broadcast Alena knew what she was going to do. She was going to be a super-hero, just like those people in Dawnstars. Becoming a super-hero was the second part of the answer for Alena.

 

 

A new super-heroine calling herself Star Fist made her presence known in Slovakia. Star Fist has made a name for herself battling bank robbers and other small time criminals. However, her efforts have also brought her to the attention of the Serbian Six. The six don't take kindly to this new super-heroine and have been trying to find her so that they can take her out. So far Alena hasn't had to face the entire Serbian Six, but it's just a matter of time.

 

Personality

Alena is new at the super-hero game, a so far she has been lucky not to have a short career as a super-hero. However, Alena believes that there isn't anything she can't accomplish so long as she tries her hardest. Some people think that Alena, as Star Fist, is quite naive, but time and a few beatings might bring her around. In some respects Alena has been luck in that she hasn't been challenged by any major super-villain. To most super-villains Alena comes across as very young. So far, only the Serbian Six have been gunning for Star Fist.

 

Quote

"Gee, who would've thought that would've happened."

 

Powers

Alena isn't exactly sure where her powers came from, or even how her powers work. What she knows is that she's able to produce a powerful burst of energy which she calls her 'Star Punch'. The major drawback to her powers is that they take a lot of energy for Alena to use them, and Alena will tire quickly if she uses them too much. Alena's second most powerful ability is the power to generate a blinding flash, which has no effect on her. She calls this power her 'Star Bright'. Like her 'Star Punch' power, her 'Star Bright' power can only materialize a couple of feet away from her. Alena can use the energy to alter her clothes making her into Star Fist.

 

 

Alena can also use the energy to fly after a fashion. However, Alena isn't very fast, but flying doesn't tire her out as fast as her offensive powers. Also with a little concentration, Alena can physically move herself from one point to another without having to go through the same space. This teleportation, however, isn't the safest mode of transportation, and Alena is leery of using in enclosed areas.

 

 

Since Alena has a little trouble controlling her powers, she has taken to learn karate. So far she has proven to be quite adapt at the martial arts. In her Star Fist identity, Alena often falls back on her martial arts training as it doesn't tire her out as does her other abilities.

 

Appearance

Alena a slight young university student. She keeps her hair cut short, and Alena likes to add hair jel to it to keep it in stylish spikes. Alena can use her powers to warp her costume on her body without taking the time to change. The transformation is almost instantaneous, but sometimes comes with a bright flash. Alena has brown eyes that just proclaim that she's too young to be a super-hero.

 

 

As Star Fist, Alena wears an armored two part costume leaving a generous bare mid-drift. The upper half is skintight and covers from the ends of her arms with a wide collar at the neck. Her costume is two colors: yellow and white. The lower half of her costume is skintight as well, and has a similar color scheme as the top. Naturally, Alena wears a domino mask to maintain her secret identity.

Okay I haven't done one of these in quite awhile. I've decided to just work on stuff I think is interesting. I did this drawing back near the end of November and someone said they liked it a lot. So I finally got around actually done a write up. So without further ado I present....

Character Sheet (http://www.uber-world.com/characterpage.php?cid=1035)

 

Background

The last thing she remembered before landing face first on the concrete was the thwack of the bat as it struck her head from behind. Pain blossomed like fireworks in her face as her nose shattered and blood spewed from her broken nose and destroyed lips. Mercy was unconsciousness and her mind went there willingly. She awoke briefly in the back of a mini-van as it bumped along a rough road. However, the darkness quickly returned and she came back to oblivion.

 

When next she awoke it was to a bright light that was painful to her eyes. The back of her head and her nose hurt like crazy. She raised her head a little trying to see better. Stars exploded in her mind and she let out a gasp. Was she in a hospital? She must be. She was laying on an exam table wearing only a hospital gown. Taking a deep breathe she tried to sit up only to find out that she couldn't move. Leather restraints at her hands and at her ankles prevented her from moving. No matter how much she struggled she couldn't budge them. Pausing for a moment she tried to focus on her surroundings. The room she was in was shrouded in darkness, the light about her the only source of illumination. Straining herself she could make out nearby tables similar to the one she was laying on. Were there bodies on these beds? Yes there were, except they were covered with white sheets. Try as she might she couldn't resist the growing terror that was building in her chest. The scream tore from her lips reverberating around the room, and she didn't stop. She didn't know how long she screamed but the closing of a door out in the darkness snapped her out of her terror. Holding her breathe she heard the sound of footsteps as they came closer to the exam table. Out of the darkness a man came into view. A man who looked like a doctor with round wire framed stopped at the table leaning in close to her face.

 

 

“Good evening,” the man said as he took a hold of her face taking a look at her eyes. He did this for a moment turning her head from side to side.

 

 

“Excellent, excellent,” he said.

 

 

“Who are you?” she croaking from busted lips.

 

 

“My name is Doctor Hizakowa.” he said as he pulled an iv pole to him.

 

 

“Why am I here? Was I in an accident?” she said with growing worry.

 

 

He ignored what she said and turned her arm over and before she knew it he had an iv inserted in her arm. Stepping back he admired his work before turning to an iv bag that held a faintly blue liquid. Turning a knob on the drip control a drop of the fluid fell into the tubing before racing towards her her arm. She screamed but still the doctor ignored her. Another drop came followed by another followed by another.

 

 

She started to shake all over. She slammed against the restraints her back arcing away from the bed. The doctor watched this intently. This girl he had abducted in Shinjuku had been the fourteenth subject. All the others had perished from experiments. He didn't think she would survived the process either, but Doctor Hizakowa was ever the optimist. There were always other test subjects.

 

 

The doctor jumped a little when the door to the exam room banged open. Sweat broke out on his forehead. Had the police discovered him? Out of the gloom walked three men. The shorter of the three walked before the other two. Doctor Hizakowa recognized him immediately as he dabbed at his forehead with a silk handkerchief. Dressed in a fine charcoal suit sporting an expensive cigar was Godo Watanabe the oyabun of the Matsuba-kai. He didn't know whom the others were but assumed that they must be the oyabun's bodyguards.

 

 

The doctor rushed over bowing before the oyabun.

 

 

“Watanabe-sama,” Doctor Hizakowa said. “I wasn't expecting you so soon.”

 

 

With a sneer the oyabun said “No one expects the Matusuba-kai.”

 

 

“So doctor, what progress have you made?” the oyabun asked.

 

 

“Much progress indeed Watanabe-sama. Come look at the latest subject.”

 

 

The three yakuza crowded around the table looking impassively at the straining girl.

 

 

“She has excellent muscle tone, and seems to be responding better to the UGH than most.”

 

 

Doctor Hizakowa tried to demonstrate by taking a scalpel and cutting a laceration across the girls' face from her left ear down to the right side of her jaw. Blood welled up from the wound and she let out an ear shattering shriek but just as quickly the wound closed over leaving just a scar and even that was fading fast.

 

 

However, the girl went completely berserk. The restraints weren't enough and tore loose. With Herculean strength she slammed her fist into Godo Watanabe's chest knocking him back into his men. In a pile they stumbled away from the table. As for Doctor Hizakowa he just looked stunned. None of the other test subject had reacted this way to the Uberhuman Growth Hormone. The girl flipped herself off of the table and scrambled away.

 

 

“Get her!! Kill her!!,” the oyabun screamed as he got to his feet. His men scrambled to their feet and started searching throughout the room.

 

 

One of the bodyguards cornered the girl near the door. This turned out to be a tragic mistake on his part. Like a cornered rat she went crazy. She leaped upon him with teeth and claws. He quickly went down screaming with a torn ear. His companion quickly came up from behind the girl and grabbed her in a bearhug. Her feet left the floor as he squeezed. However, he didn't have her for long as she slammed her head back shattering his nose. With a groan he dropped her and grabbed at his ruined nose. She took the opportunity and escaped out the door in a mad rush.

 

 

Outside of the building a storm raged. She shouted at the storm and then ran towards the lights from the town nearby. Many times she fell, one time falling so hard to break an arm, but to her amazement it didn't hurt and oddly enough the wound healed itself. In a haze she found herself in a town she didn't recognize. Eventually she stopped at a closed cosplay shop. In the window display she saw her face and it confused her. She knew that the man had cut her face. It made no sense, none of it did. Anger consumed her again and with both arms slammed into the window shattering it. She didn't even feel the glass shards as they slashed her flesh. Reaching inside the display she pulled out a mask that was hanging on a mannequin and put it on. Instantly she started feeling better. Further searching of the display revealed a biker's jacket and leather pants in her size. However, the best part of her searching was a baseball bat. It was the sirens of approaching police cars that broke her out of her revelry.

 

 

As she was turning to leave she saw a wrapper for a candy bar on the ground which read out as 'Yum Yum'. She ran off into the night and ever since then she has fought the yakuza and sometime the police as the vigilante Yum Yum. However, Doctor Hizakowa is still out there trying to recapture his lost test subject.

 

 

Personality

Yum Yum thinks that her face was destroyed by Doctor Hizakowa's experiment. She refuses to accept the reality that in fact her face is without blemishes. Those who've dared to take off Yum Yum's mask are asking to get a bat upside the head. She wouldn't think about looking into a mirror to see her own reflection.

 

Yum Yum doesn't think about self preservation when she's in a fight. She's all out while she's swinging her bat. Often times she won't stop fighting unless there are no more opponents standing almost to the point of going completely berserk. Her viciousness is one of the main reasons why the police have started hunting her. Otherwise they might turn a blind eye to her activities. Most others see Yum Yum as a street punk.

 

 

The experiments has seriously warped Yum Yum's mind. She doesn't want to live, but can't bring herself to kill herself. Her desire to kill herself, something that wouldn't be easy for her to accomplish due to her regenerative abilities. However, this hasn't stopped her from trying.

Powers

The experiments that have been done on Yum Yum has enhanced her physical abilities to an almost uber-human level. She's extremely fast and strong. Yum Yum can run, jump, and swim like an Olympic athlete.

 

 

Doctor Hizakowa's experiments has granted Yum Yum the ability to recover from wounds that would send most people to the hospital. Another side effect of her incredible recovery abilities is that Yum Yum doesn't feel any form of pain, either physical or from an energy source. Furthermore, she has shown to be resistant to mental attacks. At times the yakuza have tried to use mentalists to track Yum Yum to little avail.

 

 

Yum Yum wields a baseball bat as a weapon. She's so good with her bat that she can even throw it her foes. Many a yakuza has been surprised with this maneuver. While not a trained martial artist, Yum Yum has shown to be quite adapt at street fighting. Yum Yum wears leathers to protect herself from attacks. She also wears a mask that has a built-in oxygen supply and protects Yum Yum from bright lights.

 

 

Since her escape, Yum Yum has shown an uncanny ability to sense danger to herself. Her ability to sense danger has enabled her to escape traps set by Doctor Hizakowa and by the yakuza. This sense is almost psychic in nature. It's possible that Yum Yum will eventually develop mental powers.

 

 

Appearance

Yum Yum is a little tall for her age for a Japanese woman standing 5'3" tall and weighing about a hundred pounds. She's very muscular from living outdoors for awhile and swinging a bat like the best baseball player in Japan. Yum Yum owns little, but what she does have she keeps in the best condition she can. Since Yum Yum can't stand to see her face she wears a modified mask that almost covers her entire face. She almost is never without the mask. The mask is white with two large black ovals where the eyes would be and a large grin also in black. Underneath the mask Yum Yum is an average looking Japanese woman. Yum Yum wears a black leather jacket over a white tank top. Metal shoulder guards are also part of the jacket. In addition she wears red leather pants and black boots.
