Eric the .5b was complaining the other day about the lack of costumed superheroes, by and large, in This Present Darkness. Well, I couldn't let a challenge go by untouched.

Description

5'7, female, Asian features, slight build. She wears a tight-fitting body-suit of what appears to be white lycra studded with silvery-green metal plates and features with a pale cloak. Her hair is short and black, and her eyes glow with a holy white fire.

Background

Starlight Express was recruited by the prelate from a radical Protestant vigilante group which called itself "Heaven's Light," led by Express herself. She claims to have been a particle theorist working for the DoD when she experienced, as she put it, a "Paul on the Road to Damascus moment," and understood at an intuitive level that God intended for her to use her knowledge for the betterment of Humanity. Constructing a protective suit which harnesses photonic energy for attack and defense, she was flattered to be approached by the Council to expand her horizons.

In conflict, Starlight has been known to use the light energy she can create to blast enemies and purge the spiritually corrupt.

Inspiration comes from a perverse blend of Doctor Light from Teen Titans, Sailor Moon, and The Flying Nun. Try not to think about it overmuch. Hero Machine provided a bit of drawing capability, followed up by some serious editing in Illustrator and Photoshop.

I'm such a geek.
