I was talking to Half and this will be me bowing out.
It's been real, I enjoyed Carol and the Boys and wished we got to do more.
Spidey hasn't really interacted yet so feel free to do with him what you will.
BB and Nova can remain as part of your story [@Ezekial] or you can have them disappear into space. Your choice my friend.
See you guys next time!
Hopefully me leaving like this will harbour any ill will. You're all smart and sexy, except one of you but you know who you are. (Kidding)
A real shame, writing with you was certainly some of the most fun I have had in a comic game (that made it past more than two posts of mine) in a long while
If you ever want to pick up the story again should we find ourselves in the same comics game on another occasion I'd be more than happy to. I will likely go with them vanishing as we had planned anyway just as I'd feel a little necromantic puppeting them further.
I'm glad you love her. I can't wait for her and Warbird to interact. I was thinking she and S.W.O.R.D. would be notified once Starfire comes crashing in.
I am a simple man. I see a Starfire app that isn't just cloning one of her animated appearances and I hit like.
While I do think that things probably could have been worded better, I sort of got the impression that it was intended as a positive thing about this iteration of these comic games.
I can understand, one of the main reasons I was most excited that @Half Pint took up the GM mantle this time round is that in the last game they were one of the players most excited to write with other people, and that's refreshing after several games of that feeling like a struggle.
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. -

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. -

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.

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.
As a first foot forwards for getting into group games couldn't do much better than this. But then I am bias in that Starfire is probably my most consistent favourite character in comics over the years.
