[color=#FFB6C1][b]|[u] {Appearance} [/u]|[/b][/color]
[indent]Kara stands at about 5’7” and has an athletic build to her body. Her proportions are just that to fit conventional beauty standards as what a ‘perfect’ woman happens to be. Typically, Kara likes to dress casually but in an outfit that matches and still looks good. Though sometimes this might be as simple as a pair of jeans and a simple hoodie. Still, she tends to dress up a tad bit more than that, and often favors lighter colors that work well with her green eyes and dyed-pink hair. Though most people would really know Kara for her cosplay and modeling career, as well as some of the high-society events she attended while dating Lex Luthor. Here, she is often in much more elegance, with dresses that would be befitting of most supermodels. 

One thing that almost will never change unless it absolutely has to about Kara’s casual looks, is that she favors converse-styled shoes. While there is a deep reason around it being the brand that she was first able to afford for herself, there is also the simple fact that she thinks they can go with just about any outfit she puts together. She also typically keeps the same golden earrings, shaped like little star’s on her ears. A gift from her best friend’s, Verra’s, mother when she had turned 16. 

[hr]

When acting as the hero, Sol, Kara has a rather specific costume she chooses to wear out in public. Though unlike plenty of other heroes, Kara’s outfit is not made of advanced materials that are overly meant for fighting or being a superhero. Rather, it's made of the same material which one might use to make cosplay outfits. While high quality compared to most normal clothes one wears around on a day to day basis, the material is nothing compared to that of other materials used by the superheroes. The entire outfit is made from the same stash of material which Kara uses to make the cosplays she is known for wearing. It's something that she applies in order to create the outfit which she is so commonly seen wearing. 

Sol’s outfit primarily consists of a purple color, though it does sport golden gauntlets and boots made to look metallic. The outfit is made up of a tight, armorweave-looking top, which is skintight and allows for movement while still showing off a little bit of her body. Then it goes down into a skirt ending just above the middle of her thigh, from there a bit of her leg can be seen before the long bodysuit-like material that goes up to just below her knee appears sticking out the top of her golden boots. She also wears gloves on each arm that go up to just below her shoulders, and have golden gauntlets over the end.

Sol is often seen as almost being carefree and relaxed when going around doing her superhero work. Often with a reassuring, friendly, smile on her features. Her eyes always seem to be alight with the joys of life, and hope can clearly be seen in her gaze for each and every person she helps. Her shoulder-length, pink, hair is typically worn down as she is running about. Overall, she appears as a young hero who rather enjoys being able to do exactly that, hero work.[/indent]

[color=#FFB6C1][b]|[u] {Physical Abilities} [/u]|[/b][/color]
[indent][color=#FFB6C1][i]Cooking[/i][/color] - 

Kara is an extremely adept cook, having had to help out with a bit of the cooking at the orphanage which she grew up in.

[color=#FFB6C1][i]Baking[/i][/color] - 

Kara is an extremely adept baker, having had to help out with a bit of the baking at the orphanage which she grew up in. 

[color=#FFB6C1][i]Languages[/i][/color] - 

Kara is fluent in English, Japanese, and French.

[color=#FFB6C1][i]Cosplay[/i][/color] - 

Kara is a professional cosplayer, and has skills in both the creation of the cosplay outfits while also being adequate at acting to fill in the parts of the character she is cosplaying. 

[color=#FFB6C1][i]Video Games[/i][/color] -

Kara is a rather skilled gamer, and absolutely will stomp your K/D into the ground. Except in fighting games, where she will utterly be steamrolled by somebody even just mashing buttons.[/indent]
[color=#FFB6C1][b]|[u] {Superpowers} [/u]|[/b][/color]
[indent][color=#FFB6C1][i]Super Senses[/i][/color] - 

A Kryptonian’s senses after such prolonged exposure to a yellow sun are enhanced to the point that they can see and hear events even from orbit. They are also capable of seeing through walls, x-ray vision, and thermal vision. 

[color=#FFB6C1][i]Superhuman Speed[/i][/color] -

While not able to go as fast as a speedster, Kryptonians under a yellow sun are able to move at speeds that are seemingly impossible to beat unless a speedster. Their stamina and reflexes are also enhanced to adapt for this speed.

[color=#FFB6C1][i]Superhuman Strength[/i][/color] - 

Along with the speed obtained from the yellow sun, Kryptonians also become impossibly strong. Their strength is seemingly incalculable, as a result of the yellow sun that seems to power them like some sort of super-battery.

[color=#FFB6C1][i]Invulnerability[/i][/color] - 

Another ability that comes as a result of the yellow sun, Kryptonians are seemingly invulnerable to all sorts of damage. Of course, there are still attacks that can wound Kryptonians despite their seemingly-invulnerable state. These attacks are either very potent, or magical in their nature. 

[color=#FFB6C1][i]Flight[/i][/color] -

Kryptonians are capable of flight, and extremely fast flight at that. Their blistering speeds at which they can fly means the Kryptonians are capable of being anywhere on the planet in a matter of minutes. They are also capable of flying in space, and even surviving that harsh environment without needing to breathe. 

[color=#FFB6C1][i]Enhanced Mental Processes[/i][/color] - 

Their physical properties are not the only properties enhanced within the Kryptonians, their mental capabilities are also enhanced. This means that they have exceedingly good memories, allowing them to learn things in near record time. They also are generally regarded as super-intelligent among humans.

[color=#FFB6C1][i]Heat Vision[/i][/color] -

Kryptonians are capable of channeling solar radiation and firing beams of it from their eyes, an ability that many refer to as Heat Vision. The impact of this beam is capable of causing explosions or melting straight through many objects. 

[color=#FFB6C1][i]Gene Tailoring[/i][/color] -

Kryptonians ranked higher in the castes of their home had access to better gene tailoring. This affected not only their appearances, but also resulted in the abilities the Kryptonians gained from the yellow sun to be slightly altered at times. In the case of Sol, it causes her hair and eyes to glow a slight green when using her powers. Her heat vision is also a sort of neon green. 

[color=#FFB6C1][i]Protective Aura[/i][/color] -

A unique trait due to her genetic tailoring, Sol is capable of channeling the solar radiation in a different manner than just heat vision. Instead she is capable of using it to form a protective barrier in a 6 foot radius around herself of the burning radiation. This is capable of blocking energy attacks coming in and kinetic attacks (such as melting bullets). However, this ability is exceedingly strenuous upon the user. The more damage attempted to absorb, the more it drains Sol. Stopping something such as an explosion will cause her to either drop the barrier or fall unconscious shortly afterwards.[/indent]
[color=#FFB6C1][b]|[u] {Limitations} [/u]|[/b][/color]
[indent][color=#FFB6C1][i]Dormant Power[/i][/color] -

While Kara’s suite of powers seems impressive to most, due to her prolonged exposure to the yellow sun Earth orbits, Kara’s not yet tapped into her full potential. This is because Kara spent most of her life actively trying to hide the developing powers, and acting as if she were just like anybody else. Only two people ever were told about her strange abilities, Verra and her Mother. Though even that was a bit of an accident, as they found out when at a theme park and one of the jump scare robots in the haunted house had its upper body punched clean off. 

Her flight speed maxes out at around Mach 1.5, while Kryptonians more skilled in their abilities would be able to go significantly faster at her stage. Similarly, she cannot move on the ground nearly as fast, maxing out at around Mach 0.75. Her strength is still monstrous compared to most, though she would be significantly struggling at the moment to hold up a full Boeing 737. Her heat vision is not yet at its full potential, but still a force to be reckoned with. The protective aura is an ability which Kara has yet to discover she is capable of doing.[/indent]

[indent][color=#FFB6C1][i]Inexperience[/i][/color] -

Seemingly an obvious weakness, but Kara has never attempted to be a hero. So her inexperience comes heavily in hand, as she might not make the right decisions at the right time. With her amount of power, this is a problem that could very easily lead to her hurting the very people she is trying to protect. She also does not particularly know how to fight, so one matching her in strength and durability could manage to overpower the girl rather effectively. [/indent]

[indent][color=#FFB6C1][i]Kryptonite[/i][/color] -

A side-effect of her genetic tampering, Kara is more weak than most of her kin to the effects of Kryptonite on Earth. Its mere presence in her immediate proximity causes her powers to drain, and even starts causing searing pain. Kryptonite entering her body could very realistically kill the young Kryptonian if not removed quick enough.[/indent]

[indent][color=#FFB6C1][i]Magic[/i][/color] -

Like all Kryptonians, Kara is particularly susceptible to magic when it is used against her. [/indent]

[indent][color=#FFB6C1][i]Telepathy[/i][/color] -

Like all Kryptonians, Kara is particularly susceptible to telepathic powers when they are used against her.[/indent]
[hr]
[color=#FFB6C1][b]|[u] {Personality} [/u]|[/b][/color]
[indent]When wearing her costume, Kara is a very hopeful young hero. She has a seemingly bottomless good heart, one that shows every time she is active. Sol is the kind of hero who at one moment would stop a bank robber, and the next would be giving food to a homeless man on the streets. She loves the hero life, being able to finally help others and do something about the crime that roots deep within the back alleys of the city. Always seeming confident like nothing in the world could possibly stop her, and a confident grin always on her features. In her eyes, there seems to be an infinite amount of hope hidden behind her eyes. Her mannerisms seem to portray a relaxed persona, making jokes and seeming to ‘talk’ to those she is stopping. That being said, it is also very clear that the girl loves her city, and everybody in it. When others are put in danger, Sol is reliably there to protect the inhabitants and does have hints of anger towards those threatening the peace.

[hr]

Kara’s civilian personality is much more subdued than her costumed personality. Typically she is quieter and more reserved than she is as Sol. When doing her modeling or cosplay events, the girl is once more outgoing and even a bit flirtatious towards others. She is also highly intelligent, and kind hearted in nature. She can be a bit stubborn at times, and even show a bit of sass towards others. Yet she always tries to show respect towards others when she can. Of course, those damn catcallers on the street still get a middle finger by way of response or maybe even an insult thrown their way. 

She also has a habit of trying to spend as much time around those few who she considers friends as possible. While some might see this as a bit… strange, to Kara it is simply a subconscious need to be reminded that she isn’t alone. This was the unfortunate truth of growing up in an orphanage, the poor girl had always had that deep seeded fear that nobody wanted her as the years went on without any sort of adoption. Although life at the orphanage was not all terrible, as Kara did rather quickly discover that she had talent for cooking and rather enjoyed the act. So when her chores were usually associated with making the meals for her fellows at the orphanage, the girl was rather happy to oblige. This, of course, is something which still carries over to her today. As when friends come to visit, or vice versa, its usually safe to assume that Kara has whipped up some form of tasty snack.[/indent]
[color=#FFB6C1][b]|[u] {Place of Origin} [/u]|[/b][/color]
[indent]Kara Dru-Zod was born in a rather strange place compared to most of her fellows on earth. The girl was originally born onboard a Kryptonian ship drifting through space, before she was sent away on an escape pod by her mother, and arrived here on Earth.[/indent]
[color=#FFB6C1][b]|[u] {Background} [/u]|[/b][/color]
[indent]Born aboard a Kryptonian military ship, Kara Dru-Zod is the sole (living) descendant of the final ruler of Krypton. Zod the Mad. Her mother being a consort of the mad ruler who he had brought aboard the ship as he fled the dying planet. The ruler of Krypton was eager to see an heir brought into this world, with small delusions of ruling Krypton still lingering in the mad ruler’s mind. As such, an heir or heiress was critical to ensuring that his rule continued on after he was no longer the ruler. However, things would not go as was planned for the ruler of the dead planet. However, the young girl remembers nothing of this parent or life onboard the ship. As shortly after she was born, her mother put her child into an escape pod and fired it away from the ship. An act that proved to be her final one, as Zod murdered the woman in a fit of rage after he discovered what she had done. 

The pod hurtled through space for a few months before it finally found a home on a new planet within the Sol system. This planet, Earth, was the third from a yellow sun at the center of the system, which would prove to change the baby girl’s life in ways one simply couldn’t imagine. Her escape pod came down in the dead of night in the center of Yellowstone National Park. The pod crashing down in a small clearing where it scared the hell out of an unfortunate pack of wolves, and was found by the Sentry not long after it crashed down due to the noise the impact had caused. Carefully, she had removed the baby from the strange piece of technology when it started to make a strange noise. Barely having enough time to get the child of range, the pod overheated and exploded due to damage it had sustained upon re-entry. From that moment on, the Sentry decided that the child would be raised in the orphanage as a normal human, not the strange being she knew it to be from the odd technology it had arrived within. So, she was taken to an orphanage in Keystone city, run by somebody that the Sentry trusted with such a secret.

For much of her young life, Kara was no different than the other orphans that she lived amongst. A story was made up about her parents dropping her off because they simply couldn’t afford to have a child, and wanted her to have a better life than what they could provide. Even from this young age, Kara made a lasting impression on those around her. Always so full of energy and life, the girl was ever inquisitive. She wanted to learn about everything she could possibly get her hands on, and wanted to befriend just about every other kid living among them. Despite being such a friendly little child, Kara was in her fair share of fights with some of the others that lived with her. Most of these fights coming up because she stepped in when others were being picked on by some of the older kids. This became a recurring theme for much of her childhood, and often enough led to incidents of other kids picking on her for trying to step in. 

Over the years following these incidents, Kara began to cool down a bit from her constant fights, settling into the roll of sweet yet shy girl. Not long after starting these lessons, a billionaire from Keystone City itself, Norman Osborn, seemed to get involved with the little orphanage. Donating a large sum of money towards the place so that it could be improved and offer a better quality of life to those living within its walls. He even arranged for a few of the older children, including Kara, to be enrolled in a rather high-end private school located in Central city. The generosity of the billionaire being something that Kara found truly inspiring as a little girl, and desperately wished she had some manner to pay it back towards others. The idea for how she could pay it back came not long after when she went with her newfound friend from school, Verra, and her mother to see some new movie that had come out. The movie, as it turned out, being about a superhero stopping crime and helping save the day against a maniacal madman. All of this while helping those who lived in the city. Delivering inspiring messages to each of them, and giving the young Kara the idea that someday she wanted to grow up to be a superhero like in the film. Thats how she would help all the others!

Yet it seemed hell would come to earth before the girl could even dream of becoming a superhero. Kara’s dreams fell away as she continued to suppress her powers to fit into her school, taking up the role of the shy nerdy introvert who Verra had apparently adopted. Slowly her dreams faded into just being a fantasy as her life continued on without much of an incident. Except, of course, when a haunted house spooked her so much at a theme park she punched the robot’s upper half off in front of Verra and her mother. That had been an event which took alot of explaining, and eventually resulted in Kara confiding her powers in the two. Yet things seemed to fade again after that, save for the occasional flight late at night when she convinved Verra to come along with her. School went by, Kara had dates with a boy or two, a girl or two, she worked a boring ass job at McDonalds over the summers. Truly, a mundane life for the young girl of incredible ability. Then everything suddenly changed and took a turn for the extraordinary in her life. She had been sitting on her bed at the orphanage, debating what to wear out for a date later that week with a boy she had been tutoring. Malcolm was his name. Then the TV in her room displayed a sudden flash from the news about a terrible derailment happening of the very train she knew the boy took home after school. Within seconds, Kara was out of the orphanage and rocketing towards the sight of the crash. Although she arrived much too later, as the disaster had already finished. The passengers and their belongings lay strewn across the ground, and a quick look around told Kara all she needed to know. They were dead. The memory still haunts Kara, as she clearly remembers the looks of all the bodies strewn across the ground and the terrible sounds that plagued her the next few weeks of people mourning those they lost that day. The day where Kara was helpless to do anything to protect the others despite her extraordinary abilities.

This of course galvanized the college-aged girl, bringing back to her mind those fantasies of being a hero who could prevent these tragedies. She brought the idea up, hypothetically of course, to the woman running the orphanage she lived in. Though she did not know the woman knew her origin and abilities, and was surprised by how ferociously the idea was shot down. Quickly the girl was talked out of the idea by one of the few people who she truly saw as family, as the woman was simply trying to protect Kara and keep those powers hidden. Still, the idea of becoming a superhero was now firmly at the forefront of her mind once more, as it had been for most of her young life.

When it came time to apply for college, Kara knew she had to do something to help others. Her dreams of being a superhero still driving her thoughts, and thus influenced her to move towards the path she chose in her schooling. She chose to become a lawyer, thinking that by taking this path, she could both ensure those doing harm would be put in jail, while also defending the innocent in court when they could not afford it. During this time, she dyed her hair from platinum blonde to the pinkish color she is known for in the modern day as a way to differentiate herself. She also got heavily into cosplay around this time, making costumes based off the anime, comic, movie, video game characters, and even some superheroes she so loved. This distraction allowing the girl a brief bit of time to just be herself, and enjoy time without thinking of the whole ‘help all the people!’  thing, something she felt was important to avoid becoming jaded. Being a rather attractive girl, this of course started to gain some attention for her. In turn, this led to the girl establishing herself on social media then from there she was contacted and brought in for some professional shoots. Soon enough, Kara was working as a model and a cosplay model, while grabbing the attention of more than a few individuals. One of them being a young man with promising potential, Lex Luthor, and the two quickly found middle ground then became quite the item. Things progressed quickly and with passion between the two, with Lex buying Kara a townhome in a nice suburb of Keystone and the two moving in together. Though this only lasted about a year, before the couple got into the most high intensity of fights and Kara quite literally threw Lex out of their home. 

It was then that she decided to dive further into her studies in law, and started to discover that things weren’t quite as good as they had seemed a few weeks ago. Through the study of recent cases, and what she could hear around the city, Kara found that crime was starting to see a significant uptick. Metahumans were being hotly discussed, and her best friend was in a coma following the explosion of the particle accelerator. Then some strange group of metas started committing murders, and Kara quickly realized the world was teetering on the edge of an explosion. That enough was not being done to protect people, and keep the peace. Here, Kara decided enough was enough. She would personally get involved in helping with those very things she saw lacking. Kara took it as her chance to be the light in the rapidly darkening world that had emerged from the explosion. Using the skills from the years of making her cosplays, Kara designed a costume for herself. Using the name Sol, after the sun at the center of their system which she felt strongest when it was shining, and because she decided that she would be the world’s light. She then prepared to move out and become the hero she had longed to be for so long. Yet… plans got delayed as she received news that Verra had woken up from that coma. Then with the discovery of Verra’s own abilities, it wasn’t long before the two had made costumes and decided to strike out as heroes to protect the cities they loved. 

Sure, the world was full of darkness and crime had spiked following that terrible explosion. But now, she had the means to become the light for the world. To bear its burdens so that it might smile one more day. 

[center][u]She is that light for the world. She is Sol.[/u][/center][/indent][/hider]
