Personality
Courtney is a fun loving, sun loving, happy-go-lucky teenage girl. She probably would have gone into modeling if she hadn't developed super powers and become a Hero.
Powers and Abilities
Solar Absorbtion/Emission
Courtney absorbs solar radiation and converts it for offensive use. She can release it as close-ranged bursts from her hands. If she directs the energy through an object, she can increase the range and power of her blasts. She favors replica pistols for her focal objects.
It has yet to be determined if this is psychological in nature but Courtney experiences varrying levels of sexual stimulation when discharging solar energy.
Physical Combat
Courtney is also skilled in Hand-to-Hand combat and is exceptionaly agile. She has no training in this area but displays remarkable natural talent.
Magic Tricks
Courtney's abilities are Magic in nature and she's learned how to produce a handful of magic "special effects". She can generate glowing balls of energy and juggle them, she can produce rose petals from "thin air", she can change her clothing instantly with various visual effects.
Offensively, she also carries a Blackwand and a "Sands of Mu" charm.
Character History
Courtney was a typical teenaged California Beach Bunny. The only thing that seperated her from her friends was her unusual (in her circle of friends) interest in American History. She was nearly fanatic in her study of it and often excluded herself from activities with her friends to pursue her passion. The only sure-fire way to drag her from the library was the promise of a day at the beach. Despite being a California native, that didn't happen as often as one might expect. A day at the beach was a rare treat for Courtney. Her family was not well-to-do and lived in a rough neighborhood.
Life was hard for everyone in such a place but even more so for a pretty blonde girl like Courtney.
She had more than one close call while trying to meet up with friends for a beach excursion or even a trip to the library.
One occassion was not so lucky. She doesn't like to think about that day. It was a long nightmare that lasted well into the early hours of the next day. By the end of the traumatic experiance, Courtney had unlocked her abilities and a midnight sun shown over Compton.
Courtney retained her fun-loving nature but also began to exhibit a wild edge. She now smokes and is somewhat promiscuous. She often dresses in a revealing fashion and is prone to mysterious "wardrobe malfunctions".
Courtney dealt justice to her attackers and spent some time dedicated to cleaning up her neighborhood. But everyone knew that if you wanted to be a Hero, you had to go to Paragon. Her parents broke open their savings and put her on a plane to Rhode Island.
Courtney uses early American motifs in her Hero Identity. Her facination covers the time period from the American Revolution to just before the Industrial Revolution. She has a special interest in the Old West and American Pirates.
Her favorite story from History is how Pirates helped win the Battle of New Orleans in the War of 1812.
Courtney is also very fond of Steampunk since it combines so many of her interests under one umbrella
Mature Themes
Courtney is a very mature themed character, but like Gamma.Girl and my other characters, she is NOT available for "Cybering". If you want to think your character and Courtney got it on, that's fine, just tell me, but the situation will not be role played.
