Her costume is a single piece article of clothing that covers her entire body and includes her metallic boots. The costume is magenta and black in color, with an odd alien looking icon on the chest. The icon represents speed.[SBLOCK=Stats]AbilitiesStr: 10   +0Dex: 21/17   (+5/+3, Enhanced Ability)Con: 20/16   (+5/+3, Enhanced Ability)Int: 12   +1Wis: 14  +2Cha: 16  +3(Total: 25pp)SkillsAcrobatics 7 Bluff 11Concentration 6Gather Information 7Knowledge: Art 5Knowledge: Poetry & Literature 9Notice 6Profession: Writer 6Sense Motive 10Stealth 7Perform: Acting 7Perform: Oratory 7(Total: 15pp)FeatsDefensive AttackDefensive Roll 2Dodge Focus 1Evasion 2Grappling FinesseImproved Block 1Improved GrabImproved Initiative 1Improved OverrunImproved TripPower AttackSneak Attack 1Uncanny Dodge 1 (Sight)(Total: 15pp)PowersFlight 6 (Movement, move, personal, sustained)Cost: 2pp/rankCannot hover (-1)Total: 1pp/rank = 6[SBLOCK=Flavor] The flight power allows Lightspeed to fly, although not at light speed but somewhere around 770 miles per hour. When she flies she leaves a trail of rainbow like colored lights behind her. This is something like waving a lightstick through the air in the dark. The energy that Lightspeed releases while flying is visible behind her for no more than a minute. Lightspeed might use this power to swarm around an enemy's head at great speeds, allowing her trail to blind or confuse the enemy. She might also use this power to barrel into an enemy, hoping to knock them over with force and speed, or perform a trip attempt. The nature of the power prevents Lightspeed from being able to hover.[/SBLOCK]Quickness 4(General, Free, Personal, Continuous)Cost: 1pp/rankTotal: 1pp/rank = 4[SBLOCK=Flavor]Lightspeed is quicker then some others, being able to accomplish such tasks at faster than normal speeds.

She can shrink herself down to smaller size, but in the process her body becomes dense. Lightspeed might use this power to escape from harm, surprise a foe, or to make hiding easier. The alternate power represents her ability to expand her molecules to such a degree that she becomes a gaseous, cloud-like being. This power originally had limited flight ability, but it was overtaken by Lightspeed’s flight power. Lightspeed might use this ability to obscure someone’s view, escape a grapple, or slip under a door’s crack.

Although this power does not include flight, she might be able to flicker the power on and off to achieve levitation or hovering. She might also use this power to degravitize an otherwise very heave object, and throw it at an enemy. Additionally, she might throw a “heavy-g” punch to inflict more damage upon an enemy.[/SBLOCK]Corrosion 8 Dynamic(Attack, standard, touch, full-round)Cost 2pp/rankDAP: Light Control 8 (Personal) (2pp)DAP: Blast: Kinetic 8 (2pp)Drawback: Can only use Corrosion APs after successful corrosion.Total: 2pp/rank = 16 + 2 DAP +2 DAP = 20pp[SBLOCK=Flavor]This ability, potentially the most dangerous of them all, allows Lightspeed to disintegrate matter. Disintegrating an object takes a full round action, and might take longer to consume in object if it is large or exceptionally dense. When matter is disintegrated, it is actually converted into raw energy which is stored in her body. The amount she can store is limited by her body weight. Additionally, storing energy in her body causes her to glow with a light whose brightness is in proportion to her charge level. The more stored energy, the brighter the glow. Finally, Lightspeed can expel this energy in the form of a ball of kinetic energy which inflicts (lethal?) damage on opponents.

Together they fought crime, repelled space invaders, diverted disaster, and saved the world. However, the most extraordinary thing about this group was that all of them were kids.Her and her siblings received their powers when they discovered a falling object in the sky crash near their summer home. Upon investigation, they found a wounded alien from an equestrian-like race known as the Kimillians. Before this alien died, he passed on to them a warning about an impending disaster that would surely destroy Earth. He subsequently charged them with the task of saving the planet and bestowed upon them his super-kimillian abilities to aid them in their task.Although they succeeded in saving the world, their powers stayed with them. They felt it was their personal responsibility to use their powers for good and justice (and also a little adventure) and accomplished tasks that normally only adult super-humans would challenge. However, after time it became increasingly difficult to keep their secret identities hidden from the world and their parents. Through their endeavors of heroism they managed to build a wealthy supply of enemies (some of whom were super-villains). Add on top of that the normal pressures of emerging adolescence and the trivial nuances of sibling rivalry, the children began using their powers as an escape from their mundane world and an outlet for their frustrations.It wasn’t until they battled with the Queen of the Z’nrxs, an ancient reptilian race of tyrants, that Julie learned the true meaning of tragedy. In the confrontation, all of her siblings were lost, each dying in slow painful ways. As they died, she somehow absorbed their powers and managed to defeat the Queen, but her loss weighed heavily upon her. She knew that although they had these incredible powers, they were not mentally and emotionally equipped to deal with the life of a superhero. They were reckless thrill-seekers, and their - her – irresponsibility led to their deaths. Julie returned home to finally, after a year of subterfuge, reveal her powers to parents and bring them the sad news that she is now an only child. Her parents, stricken with grief and horror at the two-fold herald of tragedy, went into shock. They disowned her as an aberration of nature, cursed her very existence, and finally went insane. Forsaken, Julie was turned out into the world with no home and no family. She did, however, make a few allies with the New Mutants, Fantastic Four, and the X-Men. It was from them that she learned about the school for exceptional students where the students were mutants, and “gifted” like her. Julie had no other place to go. PersonalityJulie is a hopeless romantic and a dreamer. She enjoys spending her time in more artistic disputes, joining clubs and organizations that promote creativity. Her hobbies include reading fantasy books, writing fantasy themed stories and poems, participating in role-playing games and acting workshops, and also studying art. She dreams of one day being an artist like her mother or a writer of fiction novels. Although she is now a few years older and wiser from the fateful day that changed her life, Julie is still a little reckless and wild. Often times she forgets to not use her powers, and has been chided by her professors to reserve them for the proper time and place. AliasJulie goes by the super-hero alias Lightspeed, a throwback from the days when she used to adventure with her siblings. Although the name was suppose to represent her original power of being able to fly at great speed and do various things faster then normal, it now seems inadequate. She is searching for a new name that would better define her powers as well as her personality.Limitations Julie has lost some of her powers since taking on the powers of her siblings; as well she has not been able to utilize them with the same effectiveness. I would like to represent this as a role-playing drawback. As she advances in power she should learn to control them better and expand on their capabilities. Below is a list of the powers she does not have access to yet.<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Teleportation: Julie was once able to use her Lightspeed powers to generate a teleport extended distances without any visible sign of exhaustion</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Forcefield: When she once had the density power before, she learned to use the power to create a forcefield that could shield herself and others from damage. She also could create a cushion of bubbles out of herself that could be used to soften blows or quell a rough landing.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Hovering: Katie was able to refine the flight power to allow hovering.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Density Blast: Jack was able to use his powers of molecular control to project a blast of dense air as a weapon.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Disintegration: Disintegrate more matter then her body would normally allow. Alex was able to disintegrate a 30ft tall robot once. In a future world, Katie learned to convert the stored energy more effectively, being able to absorb more matter and emit a more lethal, accurate beam of energy.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Healing: Julie use to be able to allow the rapid healing affect to be automatic.</li> </ul>Alternate Universe After doing some research on the web, I found that the series of Power Pack continued long after it was initially cancelled. In fact, their series is still alive today in form of special mini stories that include other popular Marvel heroes. In our universe, I decided to take an alternate timeline in which they have defeated the Z'nrx Queen, but at the cost of the lives of Alex, Jack, and Katie.[/SBLOCK]</blockquote>
