Appearance:
Powergirl is six foot even with an athletic toned body type. She's sort of what you would call a fantasy-woman, she has curves in all the right places, gravity defiant double D breasts and a gorgeous face and smile. She's blonde with blue eyes and loves to show off her legs. She actually takes issue with things that hang around her legs, such as lose fitting pants or skirts, her favorite things to wear around her lower half would be skin tight pants, or nothing at all, which is why her Powergirl outfit has no pants. She often walks around her apartment in just panties and a t-shirt and while highly unprofessional and impractical, she wears yoga pants just about every where else. She has a few pairs of skin tight jeans she loves to wear though.
Her fingernails and toenails are always painted, she's always wearing lipstick and eye linger and her hair is always done. She shaves and grooms her body hair every day, so as a result she's often got a super-model look to her. Some people claim her breasts are fake, and Karen loves letting people think that because she literally does not care one way or the other what people think about her body, the only time it bothers her is when people try to, or succeed in, touching her without permission or hit on her without warrant. She's okay with flirting and will often flirt with a girl upfront, but she is usually very good about just being friendly to every one she meets, then lets the flirting come later. But this is getting into her personality which is in the next section
Personality:
Within the outer shell of hard ass and eccentric is a warm hearted woman with deep feelings and emotions. Prone to being slightly cocky and a little sarcastic, Power Girl would give Peter Parker as Spider-Man a run for his comedic heavy weight championship when it comes to slinging comical rhetoric while dishing out justice.
In her civilian personna as Karen Starr she's a healthy blend of no nonsense and playful girlishness, when it comes time to get things done, she gets them done, otherwise she's prone to being carefree and openly expressive. It's not uncommon to catch her painting her toe nails, eating chips or popcorn and watching several hour long chick flick marathons at home, alternatively, on the job, she's a friendly, charming leader of her company that gives an ear when ever she can and expresses her feelings on the spot, showing more of her humanity than most corporate CEO's dane to.
Abilities & Weaknesses:
Powers/Abilities
- Energy Absorption: The energy radiation of the yellow sun within this planet system is absorbed at exponential rates by all kryptonians exposed to it. It remains yet to be see if Sinestro's Yellow fear light power is absorbable by the Kryptonian physiology.
- Strength: Bench/Lift approximately 1000 tons, towards the upper echelons of this limit, biochemical wavelengths extend out of her body to support larger, bulkier weights, such as glass buildings and mountains that would otherwise crumble if supported by a comparatively gnat sized objects.
- Super Speed: Maximum atmospheric speed approximately 3000 miles per hour, space speed limits are near the speed of Light. Objects can and will be damaged in passing while traveling at speeds in excess of 650 miles an hour due to physics, thus limiting Power Girls over all speed capabilities near civilized areas.
- Superhuman Vision (Telescopic, Microscopic, X-Ray): She's capable of seeing all wavelengths of light, magnification in excess of 400 times (Roughly the maximum of your average scientific light microscope) and a hundred times zoom (Roughly the average of your high powered binoculars) X-ray vision may harmlessly penetrate all materials save Lead.
- Heat Vision: Emission of super heated laser beams from her eyes that can vary in magnitude from a common harmless laser pointer to the same heat intensity of the sun (5500 degrees C) which as you well know, is capable of damaging just about every known material in the universe. The beams can be focused to the same circumference of her pupils to as wide as several feet across.
- Super Hearing: All sounds in all wavelengths are perceivable by kryptonians exposed to Yellow sunlight within a thousand square kilometers. This distance is reduced to one quarter (250 square kilometers) in cases of large cities, such as new York.
- Super Human Stamina Power Girl is able to exert herself as maximum potential for an unlimited amount of time so long as she is exposed to Yellow Sun light. For extended periods of deficiency to Yellow Sun Light, it's capable for her to become worn down, but such conditions are unknown, as such a thing has never happened.
- Invulnerability: Able to withstand a swim through the Sun, there are no known non-magical forces within this galaxy capable of harming Power Girl. The biochemical wavelengths her body exudes also act as a protective shield, even in the absence of this force, her physiology is so densely packed it would take several megatons worth of force to harm her molecular structure, how ever such technology exists and was employed by Satanna in Power Girl issue 9, Satanna employes a sonic boom hammer that is capable of damaging Power Girls internal Organs, though the basis of this hammer was technological, it is suspected that magic was also employed.
- Freeze breath: Upon willing it, Power Girl can breath out breath plunging well below freezing, she can control the temperature of said breath very finely, from a chilly breeze to liquid nitrogen level cold, capable of freezing enemies solid in place.
- Super Breath: She can also inhale and expel breath at hurricane force level winds and force.
- Longevity So long as she remains exposed to the yellow sun, Power Girl will not age.
- Super Human memory: Krytponian Neurological synapses exposed to yellow sunlight are capable of remembering details with far greater accuracy and for far greater time periods than normal, giving her not a perfect photographic memory, but nearly so.
- Weapons or Gadgets: Power Girl's chief of R&D at Starrware, Nicholas (Nicco) created sophisticated communication and sensory ear rings for use in the field that act as a cell phone, GPS and environmental monitoring devices. They also connect Power Girl to a secret tech-lab that Nicco runs on call for Power Girl when she is in the field, giving her access to his hacking skills(World Class Hacker) and any information he may be able to find with them.
Lesser versions of this technology is the main source of income for her company, the "Starrphone" outsold the iPhone last quarter.
Weaknesses/Physical Flaws/Psychological Flaws:
- any kind of weaponized red sunlight (A weapon of this caliber would be very hard to manifacture and require large financial backing).
- Magic in all it's various forms are capable of penetrating Powergirl's kryptonian biometric invulnerability, but under that she is still quite hardy and able to withstand one hell of a beating. So magic does not automatically spell doom and death for Powergirl, it does spell pain and trouble.
- otherwise Power Girl has no known weaknesses.
History:
Power Girl is the Super Girl equivalent of Earth 2. In the beginning a super powerful entity sought to stare into the eye of the universe and master the powers of creation. though he was strong, he was still mortal, and this violation against reality fractured the cosmos into a multiverse of universes. Each Universe lay in the exact same spacial area as the others, yet they vibrated at slightly different frequencies. Billions upon billions of universes were created in this schism.
Earth 1 is the earth we all know, Lex Luthor is a Villian and Clark Kent is Super Man, a hero. This is not so on other earths, due to the slight variations in vibration, each earth developed slightly differently.
When the fracturing occured, an entity known as the Anti-monitor was born who is entirely occupied with destroying each and every universe that was created during the schism. Eventually, the heroes of several earths caught on to this and began trans dimensional warping to gather forces to stop him. This occured during the Crisis on Infinite Earths.
After an Enormous fight, the Anti-monitor was defeated and the multivariate was reunited into one universe again, leaving only Earth One. All the variations of those earths were simply blended and melted away into the whole.
Super Girl was killed in the fight against the Anit-monitor. So when the multiverses were re compressed, Power Girl simply took her place in that world, rather than be phased out.
this caused a lot of Power Girl's memories and connections to Earth 1 to be quite confused. Her powers fluctuated wildly during these times, There were even periods she went through thinking she was atlantean, and so on. Eventually, during the Infinite Crisis, her true history was revealed and she was able to finally become in sync with Earth 1. During the Infinite Crisis she was reunited with her earth 2 superman counterpart, who was more of a father to her than anything else and this Reunion helped her get her baring back. During this time the psycho pirate was also screwing with her non stop, which allowed a kind of breakdown of her mind, consequently undoing all the psychological damage that had been done as a result of her merging(unsuccessfully) with earth 1 from earth 2, this damage was repaired completely when she was reunited with earth 2's superman and lois lane when she remembered everything about her past from earth 2.
At this point, or shortly after, the Power Girl Solo series comic book begins, which was never finished, but a good synopsis of it can be read here.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Girl#Solo_series_and_All-Stars
It isn't 100% accurate, but it's decent enough.
RP Sample:
In rapid succession, brick wall after brick wall, fixture after fixture and furniture piece after furniture piece breaks and fractures infinitely as Power Girl is knocked violently away from the punch she just received. The Damage is unfortunate, but unavoidable.
Power Girl recovers quickly, but still just in time to stop the next incoming attack. Her blue gloved hand launches up to catch the next incoming punch. The punch is caught with an astounding percussion, a whiplash of turbulent wind is blown up and around them, knocking away the remains of the brick wall Power Girl landed in. Power Girl's short blonde locks sway a bit in the upheaval of air.
"You're going to have to try Harder then that Metallo."
Power Girl Quips.
"You haven't even seen what I can do yet little girl."
Metallo responds menacingly as his chest cavity opens, and he laughs maniacally, expecting at any moment for Power Girl to succumb to the weakness of Kyrptonite!
Power Girl thrusts her left heel against the ground, arching her hips upward, her right knee even further upward, while pulling Metallo's caught hand down allowing her knee to connect with earth shaking force with Metallo's chest.
Metallo's body succumbs to the force like a ragdoll, whipping back away from Power Girl, but Power Girl's grip on Metallo's hand keeps him from tearing across the sky in an arc across New York. The resulting damage to Metallo's Chasis is Catastrophic. A knee imprint fades concavely into his left chest plate, exposing wires and leaking fluid mains.
Metallo gasps, his voice staticky and weak.
"*Gasp!* What! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!?"
He screams.
Power Girl chuckles and stands up. Letting go of Metallo's hand his arm falls limp and useless at his side as he backs away in a lump, several of the joints in his legs now malfunctioning due to the intense whiplash they experienced a second ago.
"Hut Oh! did I break my new Toy? Terra always did say I was more of a Tomboy, shows me right for playing with DOLLS!"
She takes a step into Metallo, her hand burrying itself into his chest cavity into the Kryptonite power source, her fingers wrap arround it and grasp it like a beating heart, crushing the diodes and circuitry surrounding it into scrap.
"How, H-How did you...You aren't...Y-You."
His eyes and mouth spark and his body convulses with pain as Power Girl Rips his Kryptonite Heart from his chest. The robotic husk falls back, as his power reserves drain rapidly, he flinches and twitches.
"Y-you're a g-good guy, wh-hat kind of...does this...I-I de-deserved b-better. I-I'll Kill yooooouuuerrrrrrtCH...."
Power Girl shakes her head, tossing the ruined Kryptonite heart in her hand up and down a few inches as she stares at Metallo's seemingly dead Body. She's heard of Metallo's resilience to destruction and figures it's about time he had his heart removed. The man is a menace beyond redemption. Judge, Jury and executor. Besides, he's still alive in there, he's just a bunch of circuitry and Power Girl's tech savvy mind knows well enough all it would take is a car battery to get his malfunctioning yap yapping again. Eugh, Perish the thought!
She takes up the corpse by an arm and sails into the air about a mile, then hurls, with all of her might, the Kryptonite heart into space, with any luck it'll get out of the solar system, maybe even the galaxy.
At least she'll get to deliver the good news to Super Man that Metallo wont be a problem again. At least for awhile, then she'll get a lecture on use of force and excessive harm and so on, She'll try not to roll her eyes to much this time.
Creator/Player Comments:
There are some slight revisions to Powergirl that I have made in the time i have spent playing her(in other places), since canonically she's never been romantically inclined toward any one, I've taken creative freedom in making her a lesbian, mostly because I myself am lesbian and am inclined to believe if Amanda Conner and co had felt comfortable doing so, Atlee(Terra III) and PG would've been more than just best friends.
That being said, from my perspective and story telling stand point, Terra III and PG -were- more than best friends, they were together in a strong passionate lesbian relationship for nearly the entire time they were together in cannon until recently(tm) when they broke up due to trouble in the bedroom. So while they remain friends, they do not talk as often as they used to and do not live together any more. So any one wants to play Terra III this will need to be included, doesn't automatically mean they have to play Terra III as a lesbian, just means she was with PG for a few months in her cannon history, maybe thats why they broke up, Atlee decided she didn't like girls any more?
Secondly, I really -really- love role playing romance, so if you have any lesbian characters you'd be interested in meeting PG, shoot me a PM and maybe we can play matchmakers for our characters, hehe!
