His conflict with Seraph ended with the Wings of Law being completely dissolved. This coincided with his most popular album 'Shine' releasing only a few weeks later. The young star was at the top of his game, but it was all heading for a fall after that. Only three years later the same star found himself half naked in a Hero Burger screaming at the cashier. How did he come to this and what caused his downward spiral in the first placed? Those answers and more will come to light in this documentary, 'Starfall'."[/INDENT][/color] [color=yellow][INDENT]"Hey shut that off. What station was rerunning that?

That's stardom I guess. Well where did I go from there? Nowhere really. I had lost my popularity quite quick but I was still a multimillionaire. It took me a while to get over the fact I had lost my spotlight but lots and lots of money helped. I was gearing up to retire at the young age of 24. I had no obligation to HERO, I could do whatever I wanted." "But then the e-Police came in. What a sad state of affairs does HERO have to have, getting out gunned by robots. Back when I was a hero, do you think anyone would stop tuning into me because some rust bucket could do the job better? No, absolutely not. Heroes have lost their charm, that why the golden age ended. People stopped tuning in. Entertainment is the way forward for the future of heroes. I founded the Starbright Foundation, a group dedicated to the support of heroes and bringing about the new golden age." "We've had criticisms of course. 'Oh you only care about heroes that are attractive and marketable', 'the Starbright Foundation makes it harder for less attractive heroes to build a career'. If that is the case, I plead guilty to all accounts. The one thing the Wings of Law had right is that heroism should look good. If you are a C tier hero or lower and you don't have audience appeal, you should go home. The robots can do better."[/INDENT][/color] [color=white][INDENT]"Starbright's career showed that, despite a mediocre performance record, you can still be the top hero. Popularity and profit wise.

He is confident and composed with a 'heroic line' ready for his grand entry. There is no surprise that he has become as popular as he is with his ability to play it up for the cameras. Being in the Starbright Foundation, he has come under scrutiny over whether he truly believes his hero persona or not. Spend 5 minutes with the guy and that answer will be clear. Outside of hero business Lucas is an incredible extrovert. However, even when he goes out without the intention of being Dawnbreaker, he often is ambushed by fans.[/INDENT][/color] [color=2AC2EA][B][ BIO ][/B][/color] [color=white][INDENT] When you talk about old money in Castleburg, the Vandermons are usually one of the first to come up. Their lineage dates way back to the founding of the city. However, their name being in the public eye on the hero stage is extremely recent. Benjamin Vandermon, Lucas' father, had married Felicity Harken, Lucas' mother. Unbeknownst to Ben, Felicity had a long lineage of heroes in her bloodline. Despite both parent's being unpowered, a mix of genetics and coincidence produced three super powered kids. Lucas (20), Amelia (18), and Harrison (5, powers not revealed yet but he is expected to be). Lucas was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He was raised in a grand Kingsdale estate with the promise of taking over the family business when he was older. When his powers kicked in, he was able to join the Academy of Junior Heroes and even receive private tutoring under former hero Starbright. Once in that position, he had awaited his sister to come join too as they were quite close. He was told she would not be joining him because of her powers, 'family optics' being the only cited reason. There is a practice among rich folk with super powered kids. In something akin to music lessons, they will enroll their kids into the Academy for them to learn heroics as a fun thing. It brings in good funding for the Academy however, much like music lessons, few are really expected to actually become heroes. Lucas was no exception to this practice, and there was some curiosity how much of his 'top of the class' position was due to Vandermon funding. On top of that, Lucas had Starbright Foundation support to ensure good 'family optics.' In a move no one expected, Lucas actually went on to become a hero. The Vandermon family was in strict opposition to this decision, for this they took him out of the running to take over the company and asked the Starbright Foundation to get him out of there. But Starbright himself saw a potential in Lucas and opposed the Vandermons. Although Lucas' family was rich, they were not the Starbright Foundation. They weren't about to go into a legal battle for custody over a legal adult, even if Lucas was only 18. His sister Amelia would become the heir to the Vandermon throne. [color=4CFAFF]"My brother is an idiot playing out some hero delusion and making the family look bad in the process. Did he really say we were close? Maybe back when we were children."[/color] - Amelia Vandermon But the Vandermons couldn't have someone like Lucas running around like that. They couldn't disown one of the most popular heroes in the world either. It was all a big 'family optics' problem. They are currently trying to use their money to spook Lucas out of heroics, knowing he is untested in conflict.[/INDENT][/color] [color=2AC2EA][b]| MISCELLANEOUS |[/b][/color] [color=white][indent]It is rumored that the majority of Dawnbreaker's fansites are owned and operated by the Starbright Foundation.

She stands at 5'5" and generally wears high end clothes indicative of her social status. Her face is typically to the point and serious, so as to keep a good image to her family. Her demeanor typically gives off the impression of someone who is well educated and hard working. While in her villain identity, she allows herself to loosen up. She is outside the sight of her parents and is able to stop stressing about appearances as much. However, she still keeps a proper style of composure. The key difference is Amelia's expressions. She seems much more happy doing this than carrying the weight of the Vandermon throne, despite her willingness to argue against that. Additionally, her costume is very old timey and likely takes inspiration from a book she read as a kind rather than carrying any sort of practicality.[/INDENT][/color] [color=4CFAFF][B][ PERSONALITY TRAITS ][/B][/color] [color=white][INDENT]Amelia has the personality of the 'ideal Vandermon'. She is intelligent and cunning, particularly in a business sense. When it comes to a game of schemes she is rarely taken off guard. She has a strong sense of family. Which has been twisted by her parents into incorporating business interests above even family members. Amelia is not very well adjusted to the outside world having spent most of her life home school. However, she is capable of having money do the talking. She often only regards those with influence as being important and the others a just being pawns on the board. [/INDENT][/color] [color=4CFAFF][B][ BIO ][/B][/color] [color=white][INDENT] Amelia spent the majority of her early life in the shadow of her brother. It was an old tradition in the Vandermon family that succession of the business would be handled similar to a monarchy. Without the gender stuff, but still the age applied. Despite her proving to be more capable and more interested in her studies, her parents just wouldn't look at her in favor of Lucas. This wasn't to say she didn't like Lucas, in fact, he was a great older brother. Even he would remark that she was better in school stuff and she would help him out in places he struggled. In turn, he would help her build confidence and push her through her fears, which she had many in early childhood. This changed when their powers started developing. While he went off to the Academy and got a hero to tutor him privately, she waited for her chance to follow him. He didn't come back to visit all that much, so she was excited to see her brother again. Amelia's parents told her no because of the nature of her powers 'family optics' were a consideration. She understood, or at least pretended to understand to gain their approval, and that was the last of that matter. The next years Amelia saw the shadow of her brother grow larger and encompassing her more to the point she was barely visable. "The Vandermon hero prodigy, Lucas" would come to head lines while she was stuck in more homeschool with a focus on business. Despite her further honing her skills as actually being able to help the family, the positive publicity Lucas received had made their parents eyes more focused on him. In some silent acceptance she had consigned herself to her place as someone to quietly help the family with little appreciation back. Even if Lucas were to come back and say that she deserved it more, Amelia doubted her parents would listen. In her mind, its not like Lucas would care to do that anyway. It's not like he visited all that much while being at the Academy. But then good fortune smiled upon Amelia. Her brother had stubbornly dug his toes in to stay a hero instead of coming back to the family after the academy. While they never explicitly said so, her parents implied that she would inherit the family business instead of Lucas. She also was able to pick up on their plan for Lucas. They couldn't let him just run around, particularly with his hero image being less the sophisticated. It became a 'family optics' problem. Her parents plan was to use their wealth to fund criminal activity strong enough to scare her brother out of this 'hero phase'. [color=2AC2EA]"My sister's smart, she should do all that business stuff. It never suited me anyway. I do my thing, she can do hers. By the end of all this, I hope we can stay good friends."[/color] - Lucas Vandermon Amelia feared that if her brother were to come back to soon and willingly, that the situation would return back to normal where her brother would cast a shadow on her again. She needed to prove herself to her family and Lucas offered the perfect opportunity. If she was able to bring him back herself, she could get the approval she was looking for. She has some wealth of her own along with her powers to help out. She would be fine, just as long as no one found out she was doing this. Amelia has only been out a few times on villainous activity, she enjoys it but doesn't want to admit it to herself.
