On October 31st 1981, a mutant named Nykole was born. As we all know, mutants are born with their abilities, but most do not surface untill puberty or because of some horrible tramatic incident. As the text books show, when these powers first surface they are almost always beyond the young mutant's control. Nykole was no different. She grew up in the town of Waterloo, Iowa. She grew up as a normal farm girl always willing to learn and help anyone in need. She had always excelled in education and was planing on going to a university. As she went through her life in school she became more aware of the presence of fire. She expecially noticed it in Science class where her professor conducted multiple experiments involving fire. She started to notice how much the fire interested her. It went way beyond a normal case of pyrophelia. She actually felt like fire was a kindred spirit for her. One night while hanging out and smoking with some girlfriends, she casually made a gesture with her fingers when someone asked for a light. Suddenly the end of the cigarette burst into flames. They all shrieked and then after a fit of nervous laughter decided amongst themselves that it was just a coincidence. Privately Nykole knew something had in fact happened and sought a scientific explanation. So when she went into the University of Iowa, she began studing as a Science major. Alway the curious student, she also took courses in Myths and Legends, Information Tech, and Business among other things. Ever diligent she spend all her time studying and trying to figure out what had happened that night. One evening , feeling frustrated with her studies and lack of answers, she decided to go to the local bar and have a drink. She made a turn and started down Campus Square. Suddenly a dirty grubby man grabbed her and drug her into the alley. Struggling to free her self, she let loose a piercing scream. The only problem was that no one was around at all to hear. Then, with a sudden burst of light she lost all thought and focus. At this point, a burst of flames rushed forth from her body. Since it was an uncontrolled blast, her attacker was consumed by the flames. When she woke up she saw nothing but ash. She wanted to forget the accident but the smell kept it fresh in her mind. In a fit of remorse and guilt she ran to the police station and told them of what happened. No one believed her. She ran to her friends and family, but when she told them that she might be a mutant they turned their backs on her and shunned her.The life of a mutant started on that day.
Thinking the people of the world hated mutants of all kinds, she turned to the people of Paragon to help. It was here that she found the first group of friendly mutants that would show her the ways to co-exist with "norms". She learned and trained her self day and night. Years went by and she started to focus on her powers, always wary of repeating the fatal accident that consumed her attacker. She tried working with the resident psychic in her group of friends in order to free herself of the nightmarish visions of that fateful night. But as the flashes got stronger with the images of death she understood that she must find a way to clear her concience and her soul. As she stepped out into street , she noticed that there was an eclipe in the sky. When she looked up she saw nothing but this dark star. She took this as a sign. She had been inspired by the legend of the Phoenix in school and had decided to take the name DrkPhoenix as her "handle", but found out when she reached City Hall that the name was already being used. Nykole sat down on the steps outside City Hall obviously upset. It was at this point she over heard a very little girl talking to her mother.
" Momma, I think that was the most beautifulist thing I ever saw. It was the darkest sunstar and it was awesome."Nykole thought to her self that that was so cute and then realised it was the perfect name for her. Even though she didn't get to use the name of the Phoenix, she obviously held the spirit because she was reborn that day.
On that day she became Dark Sunstar.
Like the Phoenix she rose from the flames and now she had a new name and a purpose.... to try and help people as a mutant hero, and by doing so try to make amends for the wrong that she had done. Although a large group of people still hate mutants, she tries to change their point of views with heroic actions. She started seeing that her actions were making a difference. People had started to judge her for her actions and not because she was a mutant. Now she fights in the Legionnaires as Dark Sunstar, one of Paragon's elder heroes. Often aloof and very serious, she remains a hidden mystery to some. One of the reasons that she is so aloof is because of the racism that she has endured since finding out she was a mutant. Although the public's reaction to her and her efforts have been very positive, she still tends to notice the few people out there that do still scorn her because of her genetics. It's these few that still put Sunstar in a defensive mode. Though it doesn't stop her from fighting evil and protecting the City of Paragon, it does tend to wear on her heart. It became such a big problem that her personal life changed for the worse. In the last few years she lost almost all of her friends that were normal. She has lost all her family including her closest sister who also shunned her. To this day though she continues to fight evil.
Her main nemisis, the Skull Queen, has plagued her life since she became a hero.The Skull Queen would always have some crazy trap planned to take out Dark Sunstar, although of course D.S. always managed to get the best of the Queen. She often wondered why the Skull Queen was obsessed with her demise untill one day , during a fight between the two, the Skull Queen told her exactally why she had a vendetta.
The Skull Queen told her that she felt like the citizens of Paragon were happy to have a mutant hero like Sunstar, but when the Queen had tried to use her powers to stop a robbery(killing all the robbers in the bank) she was banished from the city. All these years she had watched Dark Sunstars progress through news reports and it filled her with a burning jealousy and hate.
Although the Queen is her main foe , she has collected many enemies along the way. Most troubling is the rumors that some of her estranged family may have had mutant powers triggered as of late. This could mean danger for her and her friends in the Legionnaires, but danger is something that Nykole got used to a long time ago.
Dark Sunstar's power is as strong as the legendary Phoenix flames and she is still trying to gain absolute control of them. The risk is too high for her to fail.
With great power comes great responsibility they say, and Dark Sunstar agrees. In order to protect her friends and she will do anything.
So the citizens of Paragon can rest well knowing Dark Sunstar is watching over them!.Your results:
