Thundergirl - New Hope for a new world
Hero Name: Thundergirl
Real Name: Kiarna Ins Tal
Age: Appears 21
Gender: Female
Physical Description: to many who would look at her at first glance, it would be thought that what was seen is a exact match to Powergirl. but on closer inspection what is clear is the detail that makes her different. Unlike Powergirl, Kiarna has amazing otherworldly emerald green sparkling eyes.
Weapon of Choice: Fists for sure and powers
Powers: Under the effects of a "yellow" sun, Kiarna possesses the same potential powers as an average Kryptonian. These include:
Solar Energy Absorption: Under optimal conditions, this is the main source of Kiarna's super powers as they are contingent upon exposure to solar radiation from a yellow sun star system. Her biological make up includes a number of organs which lack analogues in humans and whose functions are unknown. It is believed that between one or more of these and her bio-cellular matrix, "yellow" solar energy is stored for later use. This allows for the use of these powers to fade when yellow solar radiation is not available instead of immediate failure.
Heat Vision: Kiarna can, as a conscious act, fire beams of intense heat at a target by looking at it. She can vary the heat and area affected.
Super-Hearing: Kiarna's hearing is sensitive enough to hear any sound at any volume or pitch. With skill and concentration, she can block out ambient sounds to focus on a specific source or frequency. She lacks the focus to pin point sounds like Superman does, but can still hear far distances, sometimes in the miles.
Enhanced Vision: Kiarna's vision processes the entire electromagnetic spectrum as well as allowing vast control over selective perception and focus.
This umbrella ability includes the following:
Electromagnetic Spectrum Vision: Kiarna can see well into most of the electromagnetic spectrum. She can see and identify radio and television signals as well as all other broadcast or transmitted frequencies. Using this ability, she can avoid detection by radar or satellite monitoring methods. This also allows her to see the aura generated by living things.
Telescopic Vision: This is the ability to see something at a great distance, without violating the laws of physics. Though limited, the exact extent of the ability is undetermined. In function, it is similar to the zoom lens on a camera.
X-Ray Vision: This is the ability to see through any volume of matter except lead. (and various kinds of force fields) Kiarna's can see things behind a solid, opaque object as if it were not there. She can focus this ability to "peel back" layers of an object, allowing hidden image or inner workings to be observed. The exact type of energy perceived - such as x-rays, cosmic rays, or some other energy invisible to normal humans - is unclear. This ability perceives an ambient energy source though, it does not involve the eye projecting a concentrated, possibly toxic, beam to be reflected back from objects.
Microscopic Vision: This is the ability to see extremely small objects and images down to the atomic level.
Infrared Vision: Kiarna's can see with better acuity in darkness, and to a degree in total darkness.
Flight: ( DCURPG Level 15-- Approximately Mach 75) Kiarna is able to manipulate graviton particles to defy the forces of gravity and achieve flight. This ranges from hovering to moving in any posture, in any direction.
Invulnerability: Due to the interaction of her dense molecular structure and supercharged bio-electric aura, Kiarna is nigh-invulnerable to extreme energy forces. In addition, her aura extends this protection against toxins and diseases.
Healing Factor: Due to her Kryptonian physiology, Kiarna is able to heal from minor wounds in minutes. Cracked and broken bones would take longer. It has never been tested if she could regenerate a lost limb though. All of this is faster the closer to the sun, she is. So solar chambers are her best bet for severe injury.
Superhuman Stamina: (DCURPG Level-- 13) Kiarna is able to maintain continuous strenuous physical action for an indefinite period of time. This based on her body converting yellow solar radiation directly to energy, but is limited by physiological and psychological needs to eat, drink, and sleep.
Superhuman Strength: (DCURPG Level 21-- Approximately 55,000 Tons max lift) Kiarna's strength is augmented by yellow solar radiation interacting with the greater than human density, resilience and biological efficiency of her musculature. Her strength is more an act of conscious will on energy fields than actual physical strength. It is this act of conscious will that enables her to perform physical feats that are beyond the mere application force, such as moving a mountain top without said rock crumbling under its own mass.
Superhuman Speed: Kiarna is able to move at incredible speed by sheer force of will. This extends to her perceptions and allows for feats such as catching bullets in mid flight as well as covering vast distances in little or no time.
This also confers:
Superhuman Agility
Superhuman Reflexes
Super-Breath: Kiarna is able to create hurricane force winds by exhaling air from her lungs. She can chill the air as it leaves her lungs to freeze targets. She can also reverse the process to pull large volumes of air or vapor into her lungs.
Movement Type: Flight
History: Born in a universe where Krypton was never really involved with travel through the galaxy, Kiarna Ins Tal's story begins with a life of fear and excitement. Before she was born, Kiarna's mother was the leader of a rebellion that was attempting to end a forceful invading race of Alien slave traders. When the rebellion failed, Kiarna's mother was violently forced to be publically humiliated and punished by the Alien race. During this punishment, Kiarna was conceived through means of a number of violently forced sexual assaults.
After her birth, her mother tried to escape with the Infant, Kiarna only to be captured and sacrifice herself to save Kiarna from death. When the woman that murdered Kiarna's mother found the infant Kiarna, she took her to a portal to Kiarna's universal version of the Phantom Zone and ordered her to be sent to a facility within it, that was controlled by the Alien Race and used to train the Kryptonians to obey. Sent away, Kiarna was held in the facility for years, her body aging and growing up being beaten and tortured into what the alien Race wanted her to be.
While she was in the Facility, the aliens did everything they could think of to break the mind and spirit of poor, Kiarna. They gave her countless thrashings with a specialized whip, designed to cause harm through Red solar radiation, they beat her physically, the aliens even abused her repeatedly mentally and sexually. Yet everyday she grew up feeling that she had to keep fighting, praying for the moment she had her chance to escape. Her only source of strength was a small memory crystal she was allowed to keep, that her mother gave her when she sacrificed herself to save Kiarna's life. For what everyone thought, it was merely a hologram photo of Kiarna's mother, with little more to it. But in reality it had messages hidden away inside it, knowledge and Kiarna's DNA as a key to the lock that kept the memory crystal information concealed. Finally after years of waiting, the chance she had came when she least expected it.
On her trip back to who was to be her new owners home, the Facility was prepared to send Kiarna back but a freak anomaly pulled Kiarna through a tear in space and time, sending her flailing into a small lake outside of New York City. When Kiarna pulled herself from the lake she discovered that she was no longer on her Krypton. It was after that day, she was found by Powergirl and taken to the Justice Society headquarters to help Kiarna to be given all the tools she would need to survive on her own. In that time, Kiarna discovered her growing powers, finding them surprising and somehow easy to learn.
Two years passed by and through learning and finding ways to survive on her own, Kiarna soon earned a place of work and started to discover that everyday she was here, on Earth, her body was more and more powerful. In her life as a "Human" Kiarna earned a job as an Actress on a popular TV series about a Comic Book Hero and now works in New York City doing her best to exist as her Human identity, Terra Carrington, While juggling small time heroics as the Heroine named Thundergirl.
