Name: Leandrah „Leah“ Anderson
Superhero Name: Starlight
Age: 18
Hair color: Dark Brown
Eye color: Gold-Amber (Naturally dark green)


Leah was once the pretty normal daughter of a Scientist working for a honest-to-god-would-I-lie-to-you perfectly normal science and research company (*ahem* totally not a AIM front *cough*).
One day, she was sent home early from school for a prank that had gotten out of hand, she decided to visit her parents at work.
….A plan apparently shared by a rival firm. And their PMCs.
Long story short, Leah found herself in a warzone as Beekeepers and Mercs fought it out, almost dying half a dozen times and *finally* reached her parents lab, just as another kill team moved in on them, deciding that they didn’t need anything inside and simply throwing a few grenades in.
What came next, Leah doesn’t really remember, her next memory being on the parking lot in a strange suit and blasting mercenarys to cinder, before the friendly men in yellow tried to reclaim „the Suite“, leading her to fry some beekeepers too. Panicked and jumped up on adrenaline, she then found out she could fly and vanished into the blue sky.
Later news coverage declared the incident a „domestic terror attack“ and listed both her parents (and herself) as deceased. Unable to get rid of the strange suit she was wearing, she decided to investigate on her own, leading her to square off against both AIM and RAID, finding out about her parents true work and her new fashion accesoire.
And she thought finding a good prom dress would have been the hardest thing that year…



Personality: Leah is snarky, but nice and always willing to help. She likes to flirt and tease, but is studious at work. If you met her at school, you’d consider her nice, not one of the stereotypical queen bee’s, a girl next door. That being said, Leah showed an surprising adaption to combat, instinctive tactical skill and a sometimes almost chilling lack of compunction for using lethal force. She has a ruthless decisive streak that sometimes scares herself, but admits is a great survival trait. While originally only interested in finding out „what the hell was going on“, she soon ended up in normal superhero stuff and found out that she liked to *help* people, deciding it was the natural counter to her more ruthless tendencies.

Looks: Leah is a tall, well curved young woman of mixed american and british-indian descent. Dark brown and curly hair, medium dark skin that looks more like a permanent tan than anything and and originally dark green eyes, though this has changed with the Suite’s HUD to a vibrant golden-amber. While originally modestly athletically fit, months of combat and the support-systems of the Suite have „optimized“ her body into a prime specimen of female fitness.
The Suite itself manifests as a skin-tight starfield-showing fabric covering her from throat to toe, with golden lines down her shoulders and around her pelvis. The Suite can go „dormant“ (ie retreat into her body), allowing her to clothe normally, or even assume the fabric texture of other garments in this state, allowing her to dress with literally a thought.


Powers: Leah has control over the Project Starlight „Human Combat Suite“, essentially an experimental weapon designed after the concept and inspiration of various superpowered beings. The Suite itself is made out of Claytronic Atoms, or „Programmable Matter“. These „Catoms“ have bonded to her and respond to a mix out of instinctive and verbal commands. Powered directly by the EM Field of the universe, they are effectively never able to run out of power. Practically its a bit more complicated, as the energy buffer is limited in amount that can be held at the same time.
The Catoms come in three flavors:
*Core: The true catoms, the core of the system. They form the CPU, Energy Generator and Production units. Nestled inside the hollows of Leah’s bones, they are essentially now a part of her, able to repair damage (with time) and enhance her body to a degree. They also integrate with her nervous system, projecting a mental HUD, as well as interface the system itself with her and their extensive sensoric capabilities. This is actually to be point where they „backup“ her mental engrams, allowing them to repair even brain damage without any long term loss. It also posesses a form of „Simulated Intelligence“, a support system that feels and looks Intelligent, but i only a very sophisticated computer and not a real AI.

*Integrity: Defensive Catoms, these enhance Leah’s body even more, forming a very tight body suit over her skin if deployed. They create shields, force fields and similar to protect her, and raise her structural stability via a form of „Hull Integrity Field“. Once deployed Leah is durable enough to take blows from super-strength beings, though she doesn’t have superstrength on her own. These catoms also create gravity force fields, allowing Leah to fly and (possibly) FTL travel, as well as tractor and repulsor fields. Aditionally, they also have a extensive Sensoric Counter Measure suite, making it *hard* to track or even see her by sensoric measures when fully deployed, prevening missile locks or radar contact.

*Offensive: The „Weapons suite“ of the system. These catoms are in a non-visible field around Leah and assemble whatever energy emitter she needs for a specific weapon form, ie the receptacle for the Core Energy. That being said, these Catoms are usually the shortest living, due to the energy blast frying them when firing, creating a „cool down“ in which new Catoms have to be manufactured (usually a few seconds to a minute). The suite keeps various specialices form of catoms for blasts ready and prepared, giving Leah an nice arsenal, and allowing her to switch fire if one is in cooldown.
Her go to attack are focused gravity pulses, but she also has thermic rays, optic lasers and some very-complicate (ie long cooldown) Quantum Discharge Beams. Moreover the suite can manufacture specific weapons as required, given time.


While Leah still learns the ropes of the Suite, she did note that its tech is a bit beyond human capacilities, suggesting that the tech may have been supplied with only the concept design being done on Earth.
