A B I L I T I E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ BERSERKER STATE A gift from her father, Troia can fly into an uninterruptible berserker state when enraged or severely wounded. In this state, she becomes a threat to friend and foe alike, single-minded in her objectives. Her pain tolerance greatly increases and Troia loses any remaining inhibitions or fear making her a nearly unstoppable instrument of wrath.
◼ CHARISMA Troia has natural truth-coaxing powers even without the use of magic or other instrument. The average individual would find it almost impossible to lie in her presence and especially to her directly.
◼ DIVINE EMPOWERMENT As a member of the Valkyrie, Troia possesses the potential powers of an Æsir as bestowed by Odin upon his Shieldmaidens. Among these abilities are accelerated healing, flight, superhuman agility, strength, stamina, speed and even reflexes fast enough to allow to intercept multiple bullets with her bracers. Troia also possesses a high resistance to damage and magical attacks. Her resistance to injury is not quite as great as those of Superman or other similarly powered individuals, however, due to her vast threshold for pain and her Valkyrian ability to heal at a superhuman rate, this easily makes up for the difference.
◼ LONGEVITY Like the rest of her kind, Troia doesn't age provided she regularly ingests the golden apples of Iðunn. Though she also possesses a longer lifespan even in the Man's World than that of the average human.
◼ PSYCHIC LINK Troia possesses a psychic link with Diana, allowing the pair to feel each other's emotions, dreams and even thoughts.
◼ WINTER MANIPULATION A unique gift even amongst the Valkyrie, Troia has the limited ability to control and manipulate cold. Some believe this is due in part to her mysterious paternity. Troia can summon winter storms through gusts of wind, snow and ice flurries and even drain heat from the air, imbuing her weapons with the cold of Winter's bite.-
T O O L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ ARMOUR Mithril armour designed to accent her natural abilities and augment her durability. Consists of various pieces and layers, allowing Troia to outfit herself fittingly for any battle. Or simply just to look good.
◼ AXE A bearded axe akin to those used by the Vikingr. Forged of Blodstál, steel quenched in blood of giants, svartalfs and forged by the dwarves Brokk and Sindri, its an axe capable of shearing through most known materials.
◼ BRACERS OF VICTORY Wrist bracers forged of Blodstál, capable of even deflecting gunfire and other weapons.
◼ SHIELD A shield forged of Mithril and Blodstál, definitely doesn't obey the laws of physics and is capable of being hurled and thrown, bouncing off of surfaces and returning to Troia.
◼ SWORD A sword that can transform into a spear with the twist of its hilt, like her axe, Troia's blade was forged by Brokk Sindri and is made of Blodstál. -

S K I L L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ MARTIAL PROWRESS Like all Valkyrie, Troia is exceptionally well trained in the use of various weapons and in various martial arts. Her sister Diana, mother Brynhild, General Gunnr, and Hildr seem to be her only rivals as a warrior (among the Valkyrie). She is also a very capable leader and strategist.-

Long before the Age of Man began, the Nine Realms were in turmoil, ripped apart by the war between the Æsir and the Vanir. The Vanir had allied themselves with the Jötnar and were exhausting the forces of the Æsir and Asgard until Odin arrived with new reinforcements. Riding alongside the Alföðr, were a unique group of Shieldmaidens, handpicked and trained by Odin himself. Dubbed the Valkyrie, they changed the war's course and spread peace through the nine realms.
Thor, Odin's son, however, was jealous of Odin's preferential treatment of the Valkyrie. Believing himself to be Asgard's best warrior, Thor began to act out and tried to have Shieldmaidens, chiefly their leader Brynhild, put out of his way. His actions ultimately led to the death of Sigurðr leading to banishment for both Thor and the Valkyrie.
But Odin took pity on his Shieldmaidens and granted Brynhild and the Valkyrie a home in Midgard while retaining their might and prowess. This home was the island of Paradis hidden in the far North of the Atlantic Ocean. Under the care of the Valkyrie, Paradis became a unitary sovereign city-state and archipelagic island nation, hidden from the world by Æsir magic which cloaked its cliffs, fjords and glacial valleys behind an impenetrable wall of frost.
Or so, it was believed until a plane managed to pierce the veil at the height of the Second World War.
The pilot survived the crash, asking for help from the Shieldmaidens, one such Shieldmaiden could not ignore the call of war and with the blessing of her Queen, the one called Diana, emerged to the world and became known as Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman would go on to become one of Earth's greatest heroes and peacekeepers, becoming a founding member of the Justice League and inspiring another generation of heroes.
Eager to follow in her footsteps, was none other than Diana's adoptive sister, Troia. One of the fiercest warriors amongst the Valkyrie, Troia trained every day to compete with Diana in hopes of one day holding the title of Wonder Woman. For years, it felt like that day would never come until Diana went missing. Begging Brynhild to send her to the land of Man, her Queenmother relented and Donna was adorned in Mirthril armour and equipped with weapons forged of the strongest Blodstál.

I've always enjoyed mythology and Wonder Woman and her affiliated characters offer an opportunity to tie into that world. In previous RPs, I've also had a lot of fun RPing as Thor, so I figured I'd try and take a page from Absolute Wonder Woman, rewrite the origins and tie them to Norse Mythology and the Valkyrie. This version of Donna is a bit different and takes some story notes from the original Cassie Sandsmark with the mysterious paternity aspect while still playing much closer to Donna Troy. Ideally I'm looking to explore story notes with a villainous Thor, Troia taking on the identity of Donna Troy, becoming not only a teammate but a leader, as she learns to rely on others and of course finding both Diana and the identity of her father.

A B I L I T I E S ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ HEARTLESS When Kyle was injured by fall of Ion, the Meteor destroyed his car and much of his body. Unknown to him at the time, and something he only realized once he got out of the wreckage, his eyes sparking with new flame... Was that the giant green whale had replaced his damaged heart. Inside of his chest beats an infernal engine, a battery of some kind of, by all metrics, infinite proportion. The power of raw creation, as made clear by the new flora that had appeared around the crash site. This power of creation made itself well known during the first few weeks of Kyle's new life, it was unfocused, impossible to control. Kyle would burst into flames releasing massive bursts of energy that heralded destruction as well as creation. -
T O O L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ FOCUS This dangerous energy that now pumped in his chest lead to Kyle creating his first construct with his power. At the time, a sort of chest-piece that compressed on his lungs and sealed the power inside of him, with valves that would allow him to let out smaller doses of energy. Over the coming weeks, he learnt how to release energy in appropriate bursts, and refined the rather clunky piece into a sort of shapeable mold that takes whatever form Kyle finds most appropriate at the time. Usually a ring or another accessory. The Focus is, so far, the only construct Kyle's made that is permanently there. -

S K I L L (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ SPORTS Fencing, swimming and volleyball were all Kyle's fortes before he acquired his power, and he now likes to keep these up, even if he needs to be reminded to not construct an escalator everywhere he walks. He considers watching movies, shows and reading graphic novels a sport. His favorite one, even.
◼ ENGINEERING Kyle cannot completely construct what he cannot comprehend. If he cannot conceive of a way something could work, he cannot construct it. This problem requires extensive research, tutoring and study.
◼ COOKING Assembling tools, weaponry and constructs is all well and good, but he sadly cannot create food with his powers. He's grateful for this, as cooking is one of his greatest passions, thanks to his mother. -
T A L E N T (S) ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ ◼ ARTIST Kyle is a natural polymath at all things traditionally considered artistic. Further enhanced since he acquired his powers. He prefers drawing and writing, but he can sing, dance and play most instruments with very little practice. This also translates into Kyle being very quick to pick up language. -

A gifted child, the joy of his father, Andrew Rayner. Decent enough at sports, smart enough to know he never had to try that hard because his brain would carry him to the upper echelons of the world. That's what his mother always said, at least. Maria Rayner was a wonderful mother while Kyle was growing up, from a Mexican background, Maria became a single mother after Kyle's father died in military service, when Kyle was 11. Losing his father was hard, and it made him no longer take his life for granted. Starting to apply himself, Kyle was soon looking at more opportunities than he could have ever envisioned for himself.
That is, till a meteor shower hit Coast City, and Kyle, a brazen 16 year old, celebrating getting his drivers license wound up in the middle of it. A green, flaming orb collided with his car, and during the crash he came face to face, not with a man... But a glowing, flaming, green... Whale? The Whale spoke, prophecy, chosen one , destiny, blah blah. The ringing in Kyle's ears, and the smoke from his burning car was too much.
The being knew it's time was fading, but it needed a host. As a result, it found it's way into the wounded Kyle, reinvigorating his body, healing the shrapnel that had cut it's way through his heart, filling him with that same kind of flame that had fallen from the sky.
Since that day, Kyle's life would never be the same, for he is a man who is able to make dreams reality. Imagination given form, abstracts into shape. Shining across the world, or social media at least, is a force bright enough to vanquish evil's might, the awesome power of Green Lantern's Light.

In Brightest Day Hubris is the greatest companion of a successful Green Lantern. They are powered by their own self-belief. Their lack of fear and doubt. Kyle embodies this better than most, yet his hubris is also used to cover his fear and uncertainty. Kyle is a teenager like everyone else, but he has no clue how to behave around others of his ilk. For the last few years, he's been treated like a god by the suits who started to pay attention to him. His powers are awe inspiring, they're flashy and incredible. What all of the theatrics do not convey is the fact that Kyle has never been in a real fight.
Testing Mettle, Green Lantern's Might The appearance of another Prism-bearing Knight would stir up Kyle's entire understanding of the universe. I envision Kyle's powers to operate like a mix between Earth-2 Alan Scott and Kyle's own stint as Ion. He's not part of the GL Corp, and he's not bound to be a space cop. Yet he's wielding one of the fundamental forces of the source, which he certainly cannot be alone in. Perhaps a mentor, adversary or instructor would provide both clarity and greater confusion.
Quick question: what's the max age range you're looking for? I assume 19 is the cut off point but just asking to be sure.
Nah, I already assumed players would want to be older so I had it in mind to have the 'Teen' aspect be more of a marketing gimmick by Jupiter. You could go as high as 25. Just like actors on TV playing teens lol.

Why are you here when you should be writing posts?
You can edit a bad draft, but you cannot edit a blank page.
