Argent force
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
There is happiness for those who accept their fate. There is glory for those who defy their fate. - Edel/Princess Tutu
Born several years in the future, Justin is a young Nalron (anthro Jackal) born to two redeemed heroes of this time period. He followed a message and the pre-set time coordinates to the present without any knowledge as to why he was sent back to this time. He is beginning to understand his tasks in this timeline, however.
Justin is realizing that his presence in this timeline is to protect him from the greater threats in his home-time, as well as to train and prepare for his eventual return to his time. He keeps somewhat to himself, for fear of paradox troubles if he reveals too much of himself to others.
He is a student of a force based martial arts technique that he learned from his father, growing up. He also utilizes solar powers that he retained from his father, Sunburst Corona.
His name, Argent Force, is reflective of the pure, white energy radiated from his solar manipulations and force powers combined. They give his powers the appearance of a white dwarf sun.

Description
Appearance
Justin bears an uncanny resemblance to Taliesen, although instead of white fur, he has the more usual fur color of his race. He has tall, dark brown ears, a slim canine muzzle, soft golden fur, and a thick, bushy tail tipped with white. For the most part, his genetic coding in appearances takes after Tal. The expressed genetics of Nathan Fletcher appear in his stockier build, his red hair and the solar sensitivities.
Personality
Justin is young and a little naive at times, but very dedicated to being the hero that his fathers were. He is a bit idealistic and playful but there are tinges of shyness surrounding him as he must keep secrets of his origin.
He has a few quirks. He is a bit too honest in what he says, can be very temperamental and passionate and flares up with feisty determination when called to. He is very protective in a rather knight-like manner, and in fact, his nobility and nature reflects on his childhood dreams of being a knight of the old code, of a sort.
Although they make him nervous, Justin's fears of the Rikti and Column are slowly being overcome. He is also developing an intense dislike of the Crey and Nemesis as he discovers more of the truth behind them.
He takes alternate Taliesen's playful, occasionally snarky attitude and also has Nathan's fiery passion and edginess and both of their strong desire to protect and be heroic.
Powers
Justin was born with a mutated variation of the Force. His father, Nathan's solar manipulation abilities transferred into him. For a long time, Justin was dividing his powers of Force based martial arts, like his father, and using the fire to defend himself and shield himself. This provided a rather troublesome vulnerability to him, however. Until he learned to balance and merge his powers, he would always be subject to a great deal of injury. Through the assistance of his love, Sting of Justice, he has been learning to focus and merge the powers to work better.
This merger is reflected in more of a vibrant, shining white aura around him and in his strikes and kicks.
Trivial Fluff and Interests
- He has a tremendous love of reading classic adventures, stories of knights and dragons and loves absorbing himself in old movies and strange, quirky, whimsical Goth movies like Nightmare Before Christmas. He loves good old hair band rock and roll and heavy metal and has a deep love of music of all kinds as his father played music for him, growing up.
- Theme Song - Through the Fire and Flames - Dragonforce
- Guilty Pleasures - Justin has a soft spot for Billy Joel music.
- Justin is very often seen fighting to music. He has a collection of music in his PDA that he listens to when he fights crime.
- He is currently studying history at Paragon University to connect holes that propaganda of his own time has very likely covered up.
- Draco - He has a pet dragon that's constructed from various Force-like crystalline and metal materials. Draco is the size of a large cat. He is Eastern dragon in his construction save for mesh-weave metal wings that give him a bit of an odd Western appearance. He fires Energy blasts and when RPed with Justin, Justin's Body Mastery elite powers represent Draco's breath blasts. Draco was constructed by Justin's aunt as protection for him in his weaker moments and has a Pern-dragon like empathic bond with Justin due to it's force-like crystal construction. Draco is named for Justin's favorite movie, Dragonheart.
Personal History
The world as Justin knows it, is a Paragon lacking in hope. He comes from a time several years in the future where the 5th Column have reclaimed their reign of power, using the Rikti as their pit bulls to enforce control. There are other origins behind this occupation, but Justin is not aware of them.
Although he was raised in a painfully war-torn environment, his parents strove to give him as normal a life as they could. They moved a great deal during times of Column hunts against meta-humans, constantly fleeing potential capture and torture.
They ended up on Talos Island before Taliesen went on a mission that he was fated never to return home from. The volcano in Striga Island, a base for the Council in this time, a base for the Column in his time, exploded, rocking Talos with it's impact.
Three years after the fateful disaster, he discovered a letter with his father's Ouroboros device on his desk. Something he had been sure hadn't been there, before. The letter read, "I remember a time when Paragon shone brightly with justice and heroes weren't hunted. I wish you could see that time." There were other things spoken in it that his father had been very sorry that he never allowed Justin to fulfill his wish, which was to follow in his parents' footsteps and help fight for Paragon's freedom.
Nervously, he collected the Ouroboros device and the note and clicked a button on it to activate it, taking the note as a sign that he was meant to follow them. The device had been pre-entered to a time in his past and Justin found himself in Paragon of 2008.
Origins
Birthdate: October 31, 2018
Hero Corps Registry: August 3rd 2008
Parents: Moonlight Nocturne (Taliesen La'naia) and Sunburst Corona (Nathan Fletcher)
Justin is a product of scientific DNA splicing of both Taliesen and Nathan's genetics. He was born of a surrogate mother, who is as of yet unknown, who was very close to both of them and desired to help them have a child of their own. Because he was born with the hybrid powers of the Force and Nathan's connection to solar manipulation, he is classified a mutation. For the most part, he is a clone of Taliesen with genetic manipulations that express Nathan's abilities, red hair, build and sensitivity to solar energy manipulation.
Associations
Friends and loved ones
He is not close to many in Paragon as he is afraid to make any connections for fear of paradoxes and sadness when he returns. Nevertheless, he has a few that he can count on.
Nathan Fletcher (Sunburst Corona) and Taliesen La'naia (Moonlight Nocturne) - These are his future parents. They fought together in the Rogue Isles and struggled to work their way back to Paragon against a ll odds. He calls Nathan, 'Dad' and Taliesen 'Pop', respectively.
Minsha Cornell - His aunt by adoption. She, like all of his closest allies, does know of his secret origins and fights with him as she sees the idealistic, heroic heart in her nephew that burns in Taliesen. They share a lot of personal pains and frustrations as well as a love of classic rock and heavy metal.
Sting of Justice - Initially, he met Sting while being beaten down from a Rikti attack. The hero took him in, protected him as he was still very low level in his talents. He was soon taken in as the hero's sidekick and quickly developed a great deal of admiration for his old fashioned ideals and passion to do the right thing. Over time, that admiration grew into love which he hid for some time, in embarrassment, from Sting. In a moment of typical passion that Justin displays, in a fight against the Council, Sting was knocked unconscious and surrounded by them, setting Justin's heroic spirit into motion. A ring that had been gifted to him from Stephanie Peebles flared to life from his drive to protect the one he loved, and thus gave way to revealing how he felt about Sting. He is now partners with Sting on an equal base, his heroic status having caught up to his mentor enough to no longer be a sidekick.
Baihu Ren - A thousand year old tiger whom Justin trained with, first. He still fights with him at times, and strives constantly to bring the old tiger a bit of fun and awareness of music, good books and other entertaining things that he feels the tiger has missed out on over time. Sometimes he is a bit uncertain of Baihu's motivations as to just whether or not he means to protect or if he is simply looking to slash things up for the heck of it. He has faith in Baihu, though, that his heart is truly in the right place even if he thinks he should care more about things.
Nexrad - a young scientist from Justin's own time line. At first very intimidating to Justin as he is not the most scientific minded person. He has grown to admire and respect the teen for his intelligence and insight into time travel anomalies and the situations that surround why Justin is in this time line. He considers Nexrad his best friend.
