style="font-size: 12px">Mai Hoshiko is a young woman heralding from Japan. Her family lived in one of the many fishing villages along the coast, where her father worked as a fisherman and her mother as a seamstress in a local factory. Hoshiko is their only child, born during a clear night under a star filled sky while the family vacationed.</span></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Despite her humble beginnings, Hoshiko showed great promise, both as an athelete, where she excelled as a gymnast in her teen years, and later as a student, where she wants to continue on to practice medicine. Her skill in both have earned her many scholarships and grants to continue her education, most of that being had in the big city, away from her family. But while this sounds normal enough, her life took a drastic change when she was young.</span></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">While attending a hot spring on vacation, Hoshiko wandered off alone, finding a secluded spring to bathe in. It was here that an old woman found her, and told her of a legend of old, of a girl who received great magical powers from the cosmos. The girl had borne witness to the black star, a thing of cosmic beauty that only a rare few could witness. Looking up at the night sky, the woman asked if Hoshiko could see it, and looking up and following the woman’s gaze, she found a star, pitch black against the dark purple-black sky. The entire pool became hazed in shadow, the sky seemed to vanish until all she could see was that star. And when the darkness lifted, she was again alone.</span></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Her powers manifested themselves soon after.</span></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">She found her physical abilities raised to a new level. Her body seemed changed; faster, stronger, more healthy. Even her mind became stronger. She could see in perfect darkness, did not seem to need to breath or eat, and seldom felt any pressure changes where her ears would normally pop under water or climbing a mountain during vacation. And then things started to get weird.</span></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Sometimes, her body completely changed, taking on an obsidian hue filled with tiny motes of light, like winking stars. In this form, she could perform amazing feats! She could fly like a bird, use dark energies to protect herself in a swirling sphere that protected and could harm, and even project beams of darkness from her eyes to harm, entrap, or blind other creatures. And most joyous to her, her very touch could heal. But how to conceal the strange power and the strange look she undertook upon it manifesting.</span></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Just thinking those thoughts cause the powers to recede, still at her beck and call, but hidden away. She began to experiment with her powers, and fueled by comics and television heroes she began a dual life; one as a gymnast and student, and another as a night-time vigilante, hidden behind her other persona. Now, just turned 18, she has received an invitation to a private school, one that promises to greatly advance her education in many ways, including her secret powers as a metahuman, something she thought very few new about. This is an exciting thought for her, since she knows virtually nothing of the power that inhabits her.</span></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><u><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Appearance and Personality</span></span></u></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Hoshiko is a very thin japanese girl with straight, waist-length, black hair and rich brown eyes. She has a very athletic build and tends to dress in conservative fashion. She has a very positive outlook on life, enjoys helping others and wants very badly to become a doctor.</span></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">In the form of Black Star, Hoshiko’s skin and clothes meld to her, and she takes on the form of a taller, more statuesque woman composed of darkness and starlight. Her clothing melds to her and she appears jet black with motes of light winking on and off within her. Her lips are purple, as hare her eyes, with black stars for pupils. Her hair takes on the same appearance as her body, black with winking starlight within.</span></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">All of her powers manifest themselves with similar affects. Her energy blasts and dazzle effects come from her eyes, black jets of power laced with white sparkles. Her snare power emits from her hands, liquidic jets of blackness that bind opponents. Her area affect dazzle is a summoned, crackling ball of energy that she hurls at opponents. Her force field is a clear field of stars that surrounds her in a globe, very obvious, though she can allow objects to pass throug it at will so that it does not hamper her at all. She can bring an energy field up around her body which crackles lick black electricity. When she heals, her power mainfests in a black glow around the subject. Her flight powers leave a trail of darkness behind her for five seconds.</span></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><u><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Family and Friends</span></span></u></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Mai Hani – Her mother, who is supportive of her daughters scholastic achievments, but very much not supportive of her extra-curricular, meta-human activities.</span></span></span></span></p><p> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"></span></span></p><p><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Courier New'"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><span style="font-size: 12px">Mai Tanaka – Her father, who wishes Hoshiko was a boy.

She is a brilliant student, studying medicine as well, but at a much higher level than Hoshiko. She’s two years older, and the two became fast friends when Hoshiko rescued her from an assault in Tokyo and discovered Hoshiko’s secret identity.</span></span></span></span></p></blockquote><p></p>

But while this sounds normal enough, her life took a drastic change when she was young.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]While attending a hot spring on vacation, Hoshiko wandered off alone, finding a secluded spring to bathe in. It was here that an old woman found her, and told her of a legend of old, of a girl who received great magical powers from the cosmos. The girl had borne witness to the black star, a thing of cosmic beauty that only a rare few could witness. Looking up at the night sky, the woman asked if Hoshiko could see it, and looking up and following the woman’s gaze, she found a star, pitch black against the dark purple-black sky. The entire pool became hazed in shadow, the sky seemed to vanish until all she could see was that star. And when the darkness lifted, she was again alone.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Her powers manifested themselves soon after.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]She found her physical abilities raised to a new level. Her body seemed changed; faster, stronger, more healthy. Even her mind became stronger. She could see in perfect darkness, did not seem to need to breath or eat, and seldom felt any pressure changes where her ears would normally pop under water or climbing a mountain during vacation. And then things started to get weird.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Sometimes, her body completely changed, taking on an obsidian hue filled with tiny motes of light, like winking stars. In this form, she could perform amazing feats! She could fly like a bird, use dark energies to protect herself in a swirling sphere that protected and could harm, and even project beams of darkness from her eyes to harm, entrap, or blind other creatures. And most joyous to her, her very touch could heal. But how to conceal the strange power and the strange look she undertook upon it manifesting.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Just thinking those thoughts cause the powers to recede, still at her beck and call, but hidden away. She began to experiment with her powers, and fueled by comics and television heroes she began a dual life; one as a gymnast and student, and another as a night-time vigilante, hidden behind her other persona. Now, just turned 18, she has received an invitation to a private school, one that promises to greatly advance her education in many ways, including her secret powers as a metahuman, something she thought very few new about. This is an exciting thought for her, since she knows virtually nothing of the power that inhabits her.[/size][/font] [u][font=Times New Roman][size=3]Appearance and Personality[/size][/font][/u] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Hoshiko is a very thin japanese girl with straight, waist-length, black hair and rich brown eyes. She has a very athletic build and tends to dress in conservative fashion. She has a very positive outlook on life, enjoys helping others and wants very badly to become a doctor.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]In the form of Black Star, Hoshiko’s skin and clothes meld to her, and she takes on the form of a taller, more statuesque woman composed of darkness and starlight. Her clothing melds to her and she appears jet black with motes of light winking on and off within her. Her lips are purple, as hare her eyes, with black stars for pupils. Her hair takes on the same appearance as her body, black with winking starlight within.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]All of her powers manifest themselves with similar affects. Her energy blasts and dazzle effects come from her eyes, black jets of power laced with white sparkles. Her snare power emits from her hands, liquidic jets of blackness that bind opponents. Her area affect dazzle is a summoned, crackling ball of energy that she hurls at opponents. Her force field is a clear field of stars that surrounds her in a globe, very obvious, though she can allow objects to pass throug it at will so that it does not hamper her at all. She can bring an energy field up around her body which crackles lick black electricity. When she heals, her power mainfests in a black glow around the subject. Her flight powers leave a trail of darkness behind her for five seconds.[/size][/font] [u][font=Times New Roman][size=3]Family and Friends[/size][/font][/u] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Mai Hani – Her mother, who is supportive of her daughters scholastic achievments, but very much not supportive of her extra-curricular, meta-human activities.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Mai Tanaka – Her father, who wishes Hoshiko was a boy. He dotes instead on her younger brother, also named Tanaka.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Mai Tanaka Jr. – Her younger brother and brat who loves tormenting Hoshiko. Despite this, he is the only member of her family to revel in her secret super-powers, and encourages her to use them.[/size][/font] [font=Times New Roman][size=3]Hoshimora Kenji – Her best friend in Japan. She is a brilliant student, studying medicine as well, but at a much higher level than Hoshiko. She’s two years older, and the two became fast friends when Hoshiko rescued her from an assault in Tokyo and discovered Hoshiko’s secret identity.[/size][/font][/font][/font] [/QUOTE]
