COMPLICATIONS:
PLAYER IDENTITY: Natalie Black - In a complete contrast to her superheroic persona, Natalie is more introverted and prone to anxiety when she has more than a little attention on her, as a result, she tries to keep her identity as the player behind Rainbow Star top secret, even from the Stream Team. Visually, she is generally unassuming with long dark hair and wears darker toned clothing that downplays her presence, almost like she could be forgotten while looking right at her. She is otherwise a 19 year old college student who lives on campus studying performing arts history. Her family consists of an older brother who works in insurance and lives on the other side of the country, and her parents who live locally, supportive and always trying to get her to be more outgoing, which did result in her picking up the game in the first place.
STREAM SNIPERS: For better or worse, the nature of Rainbow Star's adventures being streamed often results in people trying to stream snipe. This can range from avid fans trying to get her attention, to trolls trying to make her mess up, to the less savory types with questionable motives. At the very least, by live streaming content, it's not terribly difficult to find her location.
IDOL LIFE: Rainbow Star is an idol in her own right with a following among the community, even some that don't even really pay attention to the game itself and just the character. As such, she finds herself pressured to act a certain way to fulfil the expectations of her fans. This usually means battling stylishly, being kind and sparing time for her fans and maintaining a high level of confidence and energy in her interactions be they commentating or battling.
VULNERABILITY: Rainbow Star's light-archetype character is particularly weak to darkness powers.
Please feel free to provide feedback. I'll add bio and complications tomorrow, just the build for now. I played with the idea of making her lower PL, but couldn't really figure out any interesting way to use the extra points.... I'm not against the idea, just.... eh, need to have an interesting angle for doing it.BACKGROUND: Natalie is a relatively average college student studying a field that doesn't have much hope of making a career out of, but interests her none the less. Introverted and shy, she had trouble connecting with other people so was often seen as the 'loner ghost girl', as she would often quickly vanish after classes. Despite supportive parental urgings, Natalie just couldn't bring herself to participate in group activities and spent most of her time either studying, or browsing the internet.
That's where she learned about Superheroics Unlimited. While she wasn't really a gamer, the idea of a VR game where she could just be someone else held a certain appeal to her. And while it did require going to a public place, she would be in a pod, so isolated from other people, at least in the real world.
She'd missed out on the early access and testing, but once the game was fully released to the public, she was among the first to sign up. It took her a little while, as she spent a considerable amount of time reflecting on who she wanted to be in the game, ultimately creating a version of herself she wished she could be, and while she was a bit clumsy at first, due to her cute looks, there was no shortage of other players offering to help her and so she formed her first, if small, circle of friends in the game.
After a few weeks, once she had gotten the hang of the game, one of her friends floated the idea fo streaming her adventures. The idea of being seen by thousands or even more people would have terrified Natalie, but her character, Rainbow Star, had already started gathering a following of players in the game who would notice her colorful attire and flashy power, and to Rainbow Star, putting herself out there as some kind of idol or celebrity just seemed to fit.
With the help of her self-dubbed "Stream Team Dream Team", she got set up and was nearly instantly bombarded with subscriptions and follows to her streams, where she broadcasted her adventures in the game, and sometimes just held "Rooftop chats" where she'd give her opinions on current matters, in game news and sometimes have a guest she'd chat with.
A few build notes:
Rainbow Barrier has more points available than the max rank of Create for PL purposes, however, with proportionate, it can do rank 9 toughness with 4 ranks of size. And that is accounting for the Immunity effect's flat cost and 2 ranks of Reach.
Rainbow Sight is pretty much mostly so she can see through her own Rainbow Haze effect.
The Feature under Rainbow Show is basically simple VFX you might see on a streamer's show for like donations and such, but also silly visual things like a glowing halo when trying to act innocent, etc. The idea is it might give a circumstance bonus in situations where she might be able to use it creatively.
Power Stunts:
[*] Rainbow Mote: Ranged Damage 11, Indirect 4, Activation (Move), Diminished Ranged, Quirk (Fixed Point)
Upgrades:
(2pp earned in "Press Any Button to Start")
2pp - Advantages: Agile Feint, Set-Up
0pp - Fixed Rainbow Barrier to have "Immoveable". This only changes the cost of using the power in the dynamic array and does not reflect an actual increased cost of the overall array.
