Hero of Galactic City
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Starbird is clad head-to-toe in top of the line, light, and durable plasteel armor fashioned after the style of the Jedi Generals of the ancient Clone Wars. His orange cape, adorned with a white starbird symbol similar to that of the old Rebel Alliance of history and myth, is similarly durable to his armor while remaining light and out of his way. Adorning both of his gauntlets are shield emitters capable of deflecting most small arms fire as well as light sabers. The most iconic part of his apparel is, however, the Jedi Temple Guard mask which hides his identity. It is cracked, having once been broken, but its repaired visage serves as both a inspiration to the downtrodden as well as means to hide Starbird's identity. What Starbird looks like under his armor and mask is not publicly available, but rumors abound that he is 'a human with a kindly demenour'.
INVENTORY
- Shield Gauntlets
- Repulsor Belt
- Plasteel Armor
PERSONALITY AND BELIEFS
Starbird is quite vocal about his beliefs and fights to uphold them on a near daily basis. The public is vaguely aware of his beliefs and have listed them as such
- The rights of all sapient beings to self expression, free speech, and bodily autonomy.
- The expulsion of corruption in all its forms across both governments and corporations
- That all sapient beings should be safe and provided for rather than exploited or abused
STRENGTHS
The Might of the Galaxy: Starbird possesses truely incredible feats of strength, able to rip through many common metals with only moderate effort. Other, more durable materials such as Beskar, require concentrated effort and time. But it is still remarkable he is capable of doing such.
Durability of Quadanium: Many have seen Starbird fall from great heights, be hit with devastating force, or take an extended beating through multiple fights. He seems capable of withstanding a remarkable amount of damage.
Flight of the Starbird: The greatest and most iconic 'power' many attribute to Starbird is his ability to fly. Many believe it to be an advanced power of the force he unlocked, while others claim it to be a technological trick; technically both are correct.
WEAKNESSES
Isolated in the Force: At first it was mere rumors but now it is almost confirmed. Clearly Starbird possesses force sensitivity and the ability to empower himself through the force, yet he is either incapable of unwilling to effect others or the environment around himself with the force.
Just a Man: Certainly many may think Starbird to be more than mortal, but those who have fought him have seen him bleed. He is durable, but a mortal man can only survive so many blaster bolts.
Success Desipite Doing What is Right: Starbird's strict moral code and unwavering desire to abide by it has made him predictable and somewhat easy to manipulate.
HISTORY
At first Starbird was only a legend on the lower levels of Coruscant. Gangers tales of a man dressed in white and orange who would assault their hide outs only to turn them in to the Underworld Police. Many civilians claim to have seen him or even be assisted by him in both tasks large and small; from defending their home to carrying a particularly heavy object. Yet most of Coruscant outside of a small collection of habitation blocks ever took it seriously. That was, until recently.
Starbird has made his way to the surface. With a dazzeling display he has begun a one-man-campaign against the Galactic Empire and Crime within Coruscant, an unwinable battle and yet a battle that must be fought.
(I plan on writing more on who Starbird was before the fall of the Jedi Temple and his time as a vigilante on the lower levels of Coruscant. If anyone would like to integrate your character into that story I'd love to work something out with you!)
