[hider=Olivia Octavia Delacroix][centre][b]Name:[/b] Olivia Octavia Delacroix [b]Alias(s):[/b] Stellar, Starshine [b]Age:[/b] 21 [b]Affiliations:[/b] Heroes [b]Factions:[/b] Reformists / International Heroes [hider=Description:] [img]http://th05.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2014/311/e/2/blue_by_raichiyo33-d85kpey.jpg[/img] Standing at about five foot, eight inches, you can immediately tell by looking at Olivia that she leads a healthy lifestyle. She looks healthy, well-defined and is rather good-looking. Of course, that wouldn't be possible if she wasn't a more combat orientated Meta and if her time as an International Hero didn't teach her that she has to be fit and ready for any challenge. Her hair is a light shade of brown and her eyes are an intense green. She's one of those people who could smile and light up a room - a sure sign that her career so far hasn't been fraught with scarring situations. Overall, she looks like a hero but is pretty enough to gain a rather large male fan-base.

So good is this ability that we even spot patterns where there aren't any real patterns. Ever since we even developed intelligent-thinking, humanity has been looking up to the stars and finding patterns to suit a certain deity or maybe even a hero that was immortalised in the stars. They have been our way to guide ourselves but also our way to cement our culture into the surrounding universe. Olivia's powers are the physical manifestation of these immortalised patterns in the stars. Strangely, she can take a pattern of stars that humanity has linked with a certain hero or being and then adopt the powers of that hero or being. This ability is possibly one of the strangest known to man, considering that star constellations aren't ingrained in our genes. In fact, they're not even part of the world around us like things such as fire or illusions. Star constellations are a man-made construct but somehow, Olivia has been able to utilise them. Up to now, she has only mastered three constellations. These constellations or forms are summoned by drawing the pattern in the air with a special tool that she had developed specifically for the role. [hider=Pyxis: The Mariner's Compass] [img]http://astronomyonline.org/Observation/Images/Constellations/ConstellationBig/Pyxis.gif[/img] Pyxis itself was the first constellation that Olivia mastered, primarily because of its rather simple design and nature. Pyxis is Latin for mariner's compass but this strangely does not give her the great power to navigate the oceans with utmost efficiency. In fact, it isn't really a combat constellation at all. This constellation gives Olivia the ability to see the logical route through a problem even when she could be blinded by anger or need. It allows her to make informed decisions on any real matter. Although this might be useful for getting out of sticky situations, the International Heroes put it to use in peace talks in the Middle East and surprisingly, it worked exceptionally well. Olivia could broker a deal between two sides that suited both sides just by knowing some background on the situation and being able to safely discuss terms of peace with warring sides. It was Pyxis that garnered her the adoration of peace-loving people around the world. She was even momentarily a candidate for the Nobel Peace Prize but it went to another. Nevertheless, she had gained the attention of the world and the Heroes capitalised on that to bolster their image. She rose high in the group, quickly becoming a spokeswoman for them and a part-time figurehead of the peace movement before other heroes began to sign up. [/hider] [hider=Orion: The Hunter] [img]http://d1jrw5jterzxwu.cloudfront.net/sites/default/files/article_media/orion_stars-thinkstock.jpg[/img] Orion was the second constellation she mastered and the very first combat constellation. She would have never learned it if she hadn't of realised that she desperately needed it. When she was travelling around the Middle East, bringing together fractured sides and propagating peace, her helicopter was brought down out of the sky by a MANPAD. Because she was the only meta present and her healing powers were above normal, she somehow survived the crash while the rest of her party died. If that ordeal wasn't enough, she was captured by those who shot her helicopter down and taken to a nearby cave-system. It appeared that she was going to die - they had warned of an execution but surprisingly, they didn't want any form of pay-out. They were going to kill her and nothing could reverse that. It was at the scene of her execution that her powers, seeking self-preservation, flared and activated the Orion Constellation. Although she couldn't use the bow that formed in front of her, the stellar-energy hunting dogs tore the throats out of her captors and allowed her to escape. After that, she chose to learn Orion just for protection but it allowed her to adapt to a combat-orientated Meta. [/hider] [hider=Lepus: The Hare] [img]http://www.clipartpal.com/_thumbs/pd/lepus.png[/img] Lepus was the third and final constellation she has learned to date. Her choice of this constellation was not only because it was rather easy to learn but it's also a more mobility-based power, allowing her to run at exceptional speeds and do small blinks, which for a normal person processing things at a normal pace, would look like she's jumping to a spot at a pace that causes her form to blur. With this power, she gains a great understanding of her surroundings, allowing her to escape harm by utilising any escape route. Basically, she becomes a parkour-master when she activates this constellation. [/hider] [b]Weaknesses:[/b] With great powers come a great amount of weaknesses. First and foremost is her need to have a direct connection to the stars. If she goes deep underground then her powers become non-existent and will only return when she returns to a more suitable depth. This applies to deep-sea diving as well. Another factor that can have a massive effect on her is the current light-levels. In low light-levels, her powers will be rather weak and she won't be as strong as usual. In high light-levels, such as a full moon, her powers become stronger. Her Achilles Heel is when she's changing forms. Most of her enemies freeze when they see her summoning the power of the stars but if they choose that moment to attack, they'd find that she was in a highly-weakened state with nothing to defend herself with. This has two different forms though - if she's moving from her normal state to a star-form then she'll simply be a little more weakened but if she's moving from one star-state to another then the pain she experiences becomes extremely amplified. A weak punch could have the potential to make her double over in pain while a directed Meta ability could be the most painful thing she's ever experienced. It varies.
