Hello~
Kindred has been hyping me up to finally get back into group RP, so here I am throwing my hat in the ring to give it another go after several years of exclusively 1x1 setups.

Tamaranean physiology converts solar radiation into energy into superhuman strength, speed, durability, endurance, agility, stamina, flight, temperature/radiation immunity. Members of the royal family are notably stronger than the average Tamaranean, and have the unique skill of language assimilation through limited touch telepathy most often initiated by lip-to-lip oral contact, but can be initiated through any skin-to-skin contact. ◼ Experimental Genetic Enhancements After years of work, the High Evolutionary's genetic experimentation yielded a host of desirable enhancements to Kori's natural Tamaranean abilities including nigh-invulnerability, the ability to release stored energy in the form of "starbolts", and enhanced metabolic healing which greatly enhanced her longevity to that of the prehistoric Tamaraneans. - T O O L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ N/A - N O T A B L E S K I L L S & T A L E N T S N O T A B L E S K I L L S & T A L E N T S - S K I L L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Combat Mastery The High Evolutionary was obsessed with testing Kori's enhancements, which ultimately lead to intense combat training with a wide array of weapon types as well as hand-to-hand combat. ◼ Star Pilot Kori is a skilled pilot with experience flying a variety of alien spacecraft. ◼ Polyglot Because of her ability to easily assimilate a near-native language fluency through touch, Kori has learned to speak a number of languages that proven useful. - T A L E N T (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ Strong Will Koriand'r has a mind of her own and an indomitable will that makes her difficult to control or subjugate. If she sets her mind to something, unless you come to her with facts and logic that make sense, you're unlikely to change her mind. ◼ Caring Nature Kori is deeply empathetic and has a naturally caring nature toward most beings, both sentient and animal. She finds it easy to bond with even the most prickly and difficult animals, and most people find it hard to truly dislike her sunny disposition even if she can be too blunt at times. - | T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... T H E S T O R Y S O F A R... Tamaran was a peaceful planet, a tropical oasis of plenty where no one wanted for anything. Koriand'r lived a happy life as a middle child with two close siblings until the Gordanian invasion laid waste to her home planet. The war left the planet barren, and the Tamaraneans struggled to hold their ground. When it became clear that defeat was on the horizon, the king and queen were offered an opportunity they couldn't ignore. The High Evolutionary - a man with whom they were wholly unfamiliar - promised to take their two daughters in order to save the royal bloodline. It was their best hope, and so they bundled up the girls and sent them away with the hope that their survival might one day bring about a new Tamaran on another world. However, preservation was not of interest to the High Evolutionary. What he was interested in was their innate abilities stemming from radiation absorption. For years, he pulled them apart and put them back together, mutating and editing genes until he got the results he desired. His ideal for perfection was so close he could taste it. A perfect race born from the Tamaranean royal bloodline seemed achievable. There were others with their own desires who sought out the High Evolutionary. When the citadel ship, Wundagore, encountered the War World, he made a deal that preserved his freedom, but cost him dearly. He agreed to give one of the sisters as tribute. Chaos ensued as they tried to separate Koriand'r from her elder sister, Komand'r. Koriand'r was ultimately able to escape in a tiny pod that was so small it couldn't be tracked. However, she lost her sister, who she presumed was killed during their struggle for freedom. Her story truly begins when her escape pod lands on Earth near Metropolis as she grapples with grief and newfound freedom on a totally foreign planet. P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) P L O T ( S ) & G O A L ( S ) I've said it once, I'll say it a million times: DC has done my girl Kori dirty more times than they've done her right. There's so much good backstory to work with, and she often gets turned into a flat, airheaded sex object. Where's the exploration of her trauma? Where's the depth of emotions? When I decided to throw my hat in the ring and see if I can't do better, all I could think of was that Thanos meme: "Fine. I'll do it myself." I have several somewhat interwoven plots I'd like to explore, but I'm also an incredibly collaborative person, so I'm very open to joint plots with other characters in other cities/areas/planets/etc. Below are my preliminary notes of the plots (in no particular order) where her past comes back to haunt her: ◼ Tamaranean Liberation Kori is drawn back to Tamaran to facilitate the liberation of her planet and return her people to their rightful home. The question that remains: will she stay and rule, or will the royal bloodline's control over the planet end with her? ◼ Sister Dearest What happens when a sister born to be queen is turned into shattered version of herself and dropped into the gladiatorial arena of the War World? She prevails, of course, but love has soured leaving a mind warped by violence and resentment that believes only in winning, in superiority, in revenge for her sister's betrayal and abandonment. Blood will be spilled, and a winner will prevail. ◼ I Never Stopped Looking For You What became of Kori's little brother after the High Evolutionary took her from Tamaran is a mystery. She'll never know peace until she finds out, but it's a big universe, and the few Tamaraneans that escape annihilation are scattered amongst the stars trying to survive prejudice and poor conditions. |
