Name: Venus Starshine
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Species: Alien. I can go into intense detail on her species, going in and out of the various qualities inherieted from her mother and father, who are of different species, but at the end of that day, what's important is that she's an alien.
Timeline: Flexible.Oh so very flexible.... *cough*[/s]
Power Level: High-tier Medium
Allignment: Neutral Good
Appearance: Genetically and cosmetically gifted comes to mind. While in theory Venus is in no way a supermodel, in practice, her delicate features garner an impressive amount of attention. This is mostly because Venus does everything she can to increase her visual appeal. Her creamy skin is kept flawless due to precautionary measures that reach asinine levels, while her pink hair is groomed regularily. Venus often wears either basic but cute dresses and skirts while trying to “be normal”. On stage or in other situations, Venus's clothing is of bizarre, flamboyant and outlandish design, and seems like the a preformance is the only practical place to wear it. (A good example of her appearance is here.)
Personality: Venus is... out there (pardon the pun). Her behaviour typically comes across as strange to those that don't know her, and she is constantly giving off “tourist vibes” to Earthlings (or “those silly monkey people”, as she sometimes calls them). On the whole, Venus is bubbly, sweet and polite. However, she's also remarkably pushy, stubborn and just a little bit obsessed with herself. She hates people that complain and whine, especially when she - most likely being the most pampered individual in the area, mind you - doesn't find the problem that is instigating the whining that bad. (For example, if someone was constantly complaining about not having any food in three hours, yet she hasn't eaten in eight and hasn't spoke up yet.) While many PR agents would encourage for her to keep it a secret, Venus is a Star Wars fanatic and particularily a fangirl of Darth Vader and his secret apprentice. The girl is also constantly on the lookout for those that have the potential to become sensations like her, and it is not uncommon for Venus to practically drag them off to do so, whether they want to or not. Venus has a natural weariness of fanfiction (due to having read one too many inappropriate fics about herself) and has a transvestite fetish.
History: Venus was born into a middle class family that was relatively happy. Back then, Venus would regularily take time out of her day to practise singing. As it would turn out, Venus had an excellent talent for music, and when she got into her teens, she started to preform during talent nights. A talent scout was at one of these preformances, and particularily liked Venus's voice. Approaching her after she was done, the scout asked to arrange a few meetings with the girl. From this point, Venus was on a fast track to intergalactic stardom.
As it would turn out, Venus's sweetness and “natural” appearance was a big refreshment from recent trends in entertainment, and it wasn't long before the girl was a pop sensation. For Venus, this was all well and good. She was making a living off of doing what she loved, and her family was now in excellent financial condition. However, it wasn't long before Venus started to suffer from burnout. The stress and burden of fame was starting to frazzle her a bit too much, and she felt it was high time for a peaceful vacation. Of course, the problem with that was that she was known in practically every corner of the known universe by now. However, nothing stands in the way of what a celebrity wants. Venus's family decided they should try to find the Hicksville of the universe, somewhere so secluded that no one would recognise Venus in a million years, yet would still be hospitable enough for the girl to be comfortable.
As things would turn out, “Hicksville” would be Earth, home of those “silly little monkeys”.
So, Venus packed up her clothes and stuffed animals and went off to Earth for some R and R with her brother. Venus soon found that Earthlings had no praticular belief that they should bend over backwards for her. That made Venus happy. The other students at the school Venus went to thought of her as an outsider and tourist, and generally got the impression that she really didn't belong in the environment she was in. That made the girl estatic. Venus soon made fast friends with many of the students, finding it interesting that many Earthling teenagers had “special imaginary friends” just like her.
Powers:
Thermal Regulation: A minor, ratial power, it seems. Venus, for the most part, is always a room temperature. So, intense cold and heat do not bother her much. However, this only applies to the temperature in the air, and Venus can't adapt to sudden changes. Therefore, stepping out of a warm, toasty room and outside into a blizzard will still catch her. Plus, things like ice cubes are still cold to her and frying pans are still hot. Therefore, this power is really only useful for comfort.
Psychokenesis: The ability to move and manipulate objects with one's mind. This is where a majority of Venus's strength lies. Most of her attacks do not require a large amount of concerted effort, but very heavy tasks do. Venus also gets lightheaded and nauseus when she puts a lot of effort into her psionics.
Telepathy and Empathy: Telepathy is the ability to read minds and communicate with the mind. Empathy is the ability to read emotions.
Neptune Dimglow: Venus's imaginary friend. Seriously. For the most part, no one can see Neptune except Venus. In reality, the other girl is a Persona, and she grants Venus healing abilities, increased stamina and minor wound regeneration. Venus speculates she boosts her psioncs as well, but that's more of a placebo than actual boost.
Weapon: Being the Star Wars obsessed fangirl that she is, Venus went out of her way to make a lightsaber with the help of family and friends. The lightsaber itself has a pink beam (Star Wars fans, you may headdesk now.), and is used like any metal sword is used. Venus actually does have some very decent abilities with this weapon, but they are seldom put into genuine use.
Weaknesses: Venus has a temper that is easy to exploit, and once it is, the girl's fighting abilities are notched down considerably.
Easy ways to tick her off with are:
Comment on her lack of cleavage in comparison to most other girls her age.
Claim her singing is terrible.
Question her fashion sense.
Insult Star Wars.
Say bad things about Darth Vader. (One should note that this particular tactic can be very hazardous to one's health if they are vulnerable to a Force Choke ripoff. Venus has a thing for irony.)
Call The Secret Apprentice a Gary Stu.
Call her a Mary Sue. (Which almost happened when she encountered a member of SOFT.)
Accuse her of lesbianism.
Hit on her very, very girly looking boyfriend.
Try to look up her very, very girly looking boyfriend's skirt.
Refuse to put on the dress she picked out for you.
Ask her “what she's going to do about it.”
Tell her that you would “love to see her try”.
Recommend a Venus Starshine fanfic.
Write a Venus Starshine fanfic.
Also note that Venus has no outstanding physical strength. She can suplement it with her telekenesis, but otherwise she has nothing physical. Throwing cold water on her makes her freeze in the spot and try to keep all of her limbs as far away from the rest of her body as possible.
