Appearance:

Tori doesn’t appear to be anything out of the ordinary, her body build being rather lean, displaying evidence of exercise focusing on stamina rather than peak performance. For her whooping 187 centimeters of height, she claims to only weigh 70 kilograms. Her skin is as white as it gets.

Victoria’s face seems as ordinary as the rest of her - not too angular, not too rounded, with one exception: she has vibrant green eyes. She has a mane of blonde hair that she keeps cut to an asymmetric bob and flowing over one side of her face, at times seemingly obscuring one of her eyes.

Victoria tends to avoid revealing clothing, preferring outfits that blend functionality with modesty. While she may occasionally wear sleeveless choices, she rarely shows her legs outside her dorm room unless circumstances force her hand. Black is her color of choice.

Everyday Wear: Victoria often opts for form-fitting but practical outfits like leggings paired with long-sleeved turtlenecks. Her casual look is understated and sharp.
Formal Attire: She favors sleek business suits or tailored jumpsuits, paired with oxfords — never heels. Her look is minimalist and controlled, much like the way she carries herself.
In bad weather: If there’s even a chance of rain, she’s got a double-breasted trench coat and an umbrella at the ready.
For exercise: Comfortable yet efficient—sporty jumpsuits that allow full range of motion without flash.
Work Gear: For lab or fieldwork, she switches to utility-first: cargo pants and shirts she’s not afraid to get torn, stained, or bleached.

Despite her efforts to appear indistinguishable form a human, those who are especially perceptive might notice subtle anomalies: her skin runs a touch too cold, her posture and gait are unusually precise, and her physicality suggests more weight than she claims — though she’s learning to mask these better over time.

History:

Created by Tony Stark after the snap made him convinced he was right all along, ASTRA units were meant to be the deterrent to all future threats to Earth. The suit of armor around the world which the original Ultron failed to be.

Victoria was the first prototype of intended many. Designed to be able to counteract most known and possible future threats, ASTRA units are capable of emulating many powers present in other superhumans, aliens and technological contraptions, albeit often simply as a byproduct of the functional parts of the design, and while it matches none in its specific field, an ASTRA can change tactics and power set during a mission to adapt, with the whole system intended to counteract by employing larger number of units, rather than one superpowered robot.

To prevent the disaster that was Ultron, Tony modified the ASTRA code to be capable of truly feeling emotions, and the hardware to be able to mimic them. Furthermore, Vicky did not achieve consciousness by accident, but was brought online and raised by Tony to create a desirable personality.

A cover story was needed for her, and thus ASTRA assumed the identity of Victoria Antonia Stark, a misbegotten daughter of her creator, one he only recently became aware of with the death of her supposed mother, who kept her existence hidden from him.

Over the time Tony spent raising her though, something changed. Tony has grown attached to Tori, and Tori never considered Tony anything other than her father. In the end, Tony decided to shelve the original idea, and never built more ASTRA units. Instead, he had the required paperwork forged for Victoria to officially be recognized as his family, and started to slowly introduce her to others under the coverup story. As such, Victoria has now been a public part of the Stark line for several months, now opting to go to a school further away to keep away from the other Avengers who might otherwise discover her nature.

Personality:

Tori is on the border between an extrovert and introvert. She doesn’t actively search for company, but if one finds her she doesn’t shy away. Being still somewhat mentally behind compared to her assumed peers, she can sometimes be a bit naive, gullible and immature.

In public, she seems a little cold and doesn’t like to talk about herself, since quite a few of those conversations end up being about her father, and not her. In private though, she opens up like a flower, and at times some of her father's traits shine through. Vicky constantly seems zoned out due to being able to multitask and pick up what humans can’t like radio waves or wi-fi internet, although she is always paying attention to what she should.

Her biggest fear is that of going offline for whatever the reason, as even though her memories would remain intact, her personality would reset and she might never be the same person. However, another thing of concern to her is maintaining her cover as a human, due to the history of androids on Earth.

Being given the ability to feel emotions is also causing Victoria to feel some insecurities about her existence. Among the worst is the an chronic sense of guilt — not just for the lie she lives, but for the pain it caused others. She understands that Pepper sees her as a reminder of Tony's past mistakes, but it doesn't dull the sting. Deep down, she wonders if there’s a version of herself that could have been accepted, one that didn’t come at the cost of someone else’s love.

She also feels the pressure. Not only that of bearing the Stark name, which makes everyone expect her to excel in academia and eventually take over the business, but also of the purpose of her original creation. While Tony made it clear he expects nothing of her but to live her life to its fullest, there is a part of Victoria that still feels like she has to be the suit of armor around the world.

Construction and Powers:

ASTRA’s body is shaped around an endoskeleton fashioned out of secondary adamantium. Mobility is achieved through a series of electric servos for precise motorics and hydraulics for heavy duty. Most of its core hardware is stored in the chest and abdomen, with only its sensor suite located in the head. The skin is made out of nanites.

Despite being a walking supercomputer and thus having a shorter learning curve, it still takes time for ASTRA to master certain things like martial arts, and their cognitive development is only marginally faster than that of a human. Furthermore Victoria didn’t bother learning much of what she doesn’t need, as her drive space may be impressive but it is far from encompassing all of knowledge, and she can search for the information anew just as quickly most of the time.

Minor shapeshifting - ASTRA’s nanoskin can change its shape, color and to some degree mechanical properties. The shape is limited by the endoskeleton, always restricting it to humanoid shape, although in special cases not all of it needs to be covered by the skin.

Energy absorption - ASTRA is powered through its skin which can transfer various energy sources into its powerplant - the unit is mostly powered by solar energy. The capability is limited though - for example it can still be damaged by fire given enough exposure or high enough temperature.

Superhuman physique - Unarmored, ASTRA can lift up to 1 ton with each arm or 3 tons with both, providing it can distribute the weight properly. It can also move about 3 times faster than a human and it has wider range on its joints, capable of for instance reverse bending elbows.

Superhuman mind - The robot has large memory and the computational power of the best technology. It also possesses significantly shortened reaction time and can directly interface with other technologies via the nanites in its skin.

Sensors and transmitters - The robot is aware of more than a human, capable of seeing and hearing a wider spectrum, and can also transmit such signals.

Multifield generators - ASTRA is equipped with the next step from Ironman’s repulsor equipment - the multifield generators. It can create electric, magnetic, repulsor and graviton fields. The more complex the field the more it subtracts from its processing power - for example, a tractor beam is pretty easy, but creating a gravity field to safely deflect a hail of bullets over a large area might take enough processing power that ASTRA can not move itself. More complex or powerful feats also require multiple generators working in conjunction. They can technically be mounted on any part of ASTRA’s surface, but Victoria usually prefers two in the palms of her hands, one in the middle of her chest, and two on the back over her shoulder blades.

Equipment:

As the base robot is made to be able to mimic a human, something more is needed for those tough fights when the nanoskin just wouldn’t last long enough. As such a new suit of powered exo-armor was developed along with it. It is somewhat modular in a way that additional equipment can be mounted on the outside, but unlike the Ironman suit, it is not capable of functioning without being fully assembled, or used by anyone else other than an ASTRA.

ASTRA Composite armor - With bulkiness not being the issue, the armor was made out of a composite improving upon the nickel-gold alloy. It is worth noting that it was designed to take the brunt of damage from the front and there the armor is heaviest, being more in line with the Warmachine suits than the more sleek and universal Ironman design branch. With the need to accept a pilot, the armor also has weak spots. Once the armor is on, ASTRA’s strength is about ten times as much as base. However, the armor’s mobility suite is far clankier, and limits ASTRA to human speed and motion range.

Personal lab - Needing space to do maintenance and store her armor, Victoria is renting a room in the basement of the campus, where she set up a pocket manufactury.

Relationships:

Tony Stark - Tori considers Tony her father despite it initially being only a cover story. In fact, she's a full fledged daddy’s girl, albeit now they don’t get to see each other often - it only makes her treasure those moments more. Vice versa, Tony initially created ASTRA with a purpose, but the prototype’s personality started growing on him, making him think over his plans for her.

Col. James Rhodes - Victoria’s cool uncle. Tony may have her heart as her father, but Rhodey is her real mentor where superheroics are concerned, being closer to her style both in the type of their armor suits and way of thinking.

Virginia Potts - Pepper was told Victoria was Tony’s biological daughter from an old fling, a revelation that shattered their already-fragile relationship. Though she tries to remain civil, Pepper keeps Victoria at a polite distance, clearly uncomfortable with her presence. For her part, Victoria makes only small effort to bridge the gap, but she does quietly admire Pepper — perhaps even crave her approval. Whether out of guilt, shame, or something deeper, Victoria has learned not to expect warmth in return.

Avengers - Tony has kept Tori away from the group as much as he could, as some of them would be able to figure her true nature out. Victoria is on the fence about the civil war thing. She understands the need and logic behind the accords, but on the other hand, she holds the biggest secret of them all.

Diana Smith - Posing as a recent transfer student, all Victoria knows about Diana is literally that she has been assigned to share Diana's thus far private dorm room.

- Theme: Ace combat Zero OST - Zero
- Avid spy movie fan and metalhead
- She sends Pepper anonymous birthday gifts every year. She never signs them.
