Alex doesn’t appear to be anything out of the ordinary, in fact her build is rather lanky and ‘underwhelming’ as far as the average superhero goes. For her whooping 187 centimeters of height she claims to only weigh 73 kilograms. She looks fit within her options and seems to have great stamina. Her skin is as white as it gets, supposedly after her never-seen Russian mother.

Alex's face seems as ordinary as the rest of her - not too angular, not too rounded. She has dark green eyes and a short mane of blond hair that she keeps cut to a mikado and flowing over one side of her face.

She sticks to her 'uniform' most of the time as she hardly ever goes outside. Alex doesn’t use clothing, instead morphing her skin to look like it, most often going with a softshell jumpsuit and an above-waist jacket. Most often, she puts the Starke Industries logo somewhere on her 'clothing', usually a shoulder insignia. She doesn’t really ‘change’ for combat other than donning her armor, if the situation calls for it.

Despite her best attempts, more observant people can still tell there is something inhuman about her - the way her skin is just a bit too cold to touch, that she seems to be heavier than she claims, or the precise and controlled way she carries herself, but her body language is slowly improving to blend in better.

History:

Created by Thomas Starke, ASTRA is meant to be the deterrent to all future superhuman threats to Earth. Combining the thoughts behind Ultron and the Sentinels, this unit is the first prototype of intended many. Designed to be able to counteract most known and possible future threats, ASTRA units are capable of emulating many powers present in other superhumans, aliens and technological contraptions, and while it matches none in its specific field, an ASTRA is capable of keeping up and fluidly change strategy to best counteract the threat. The whole system is intended to work by employing larger number of units though, rather than one superpowered robot, and as such, ASTRA would have as hard of a fight as any other hero if left to her own devices.

To prevent the disasters that were the Sentinels and Ultron, ASTRA code is based heavily on that of Ultron-15, capable of feeling emotions. Furthermore, Alex did not achieve consciousness by accident, but was brought online and educated by Mr. Starke to create a desirable personality.

A cover story was needed for her, and thus ASTRA assumed the identity of Alexandra Blair Starke, a misbegotten daughter of her creator, one he only recently become aware of with the death of her mother who kept her existence hidden from him.

When the Champions were created, Thomas signed Alex up to see how she would perform outside of simulation.

Personality:

Alex is on the border between an extrovert and introvert. She doesn't actively search for company, but if one finds her she doesn't shy away. Being relatively ‘young’ with her activation date no further than 5 years ago, she can sometimes be a bit naive and gullible.

She seems a little cold and doesn’t like to talk about herself. Alex constantly seems zoned out due to being able to multitask and pick up what humans can’t like radio waves or wi-fi internet, although she is always paying attention to what she should.

Her only fear is that of going offline for whatever the reason, as even though her memories would remain intact, her personality would reset and she might never be the same person.

Construction and powers:

ASTRA’s body is shaped around a strong endoskeleton fashioned out of secondary adamantium. Mobility is achieved through series of electric servos for precise motorics and hydraulics for heavy duty. Most of its core hardware is stored in the chest and abdomen, with only its sensor suite located in the head. The skin is made out of nanites.

Despite being a walking supercomputer and thus having a shorter learning curve, it still takes time for ASTRA to master certain things that require experience rather than theory, such as martial arts. Furthermore Alex didn’t bother learning much of what she doesn’t need, as her drive space may be impressive, but it is far from encompassing all of knowledge.

Minor shapeshifting - ASTRA’s nanoskin can change its shape, color and to some degree mechanical properties. The shape is limited by the endoskeleton, always restricting it to humanoid shape although in special cases not all of it needs to be covered by the skin.

Energy absorption - ASTRA is powered through its skin which can transfer various energy sources into its powerplant - the unit is mostly powered by solar energy. The capability is limited though - for example it can still be damaged by fire given enough exposure or high enough temperature.

Superhuman physique - Unarmored, ASTRA can lift up to 20 tons (A bus or a lorry) with each arm or 60 tons (passenger railway carriage) with both, provided it can distribute the weight properly. It can also move about 3 times faster than a human and it has wider range on its joints, capable of for instance reverse bending elbows.

Superhuman mind - The robot has large memory and the computational power of the best technology. It also possesses significantly shortened reaction time and short range telepathy (Max range of 1 m, requires physical contact near the central nervous system for detailed readings) and technopathy facilitated through the nanites in its skin.

Sensors and transmitters - The robot is aware of more than a human, capable of seeing and hearing a wider spectrum, and can also transmit such signals.

Forcefield emitters - ASTRA is equipped with the next step from Titanius' repulsors - the multifield generators. It can create shaped fields of many known energy types, such as gravity, electormagnetic, repulsor, acoustic etc. The more complex the field the more it subtracts from its processing power - for example, a tractor beam is pretty easy, but creating a gravity field to safely deflect a hail of bullets over large area might take enough processing power that ASTRA wouldn't have enough left to calculate it's own motion. Two of these are mounted on ASTRA's palms.

Equipment:

As the base robot is made to be able to mimic a human, something more is needed for those tough fight when the nanoskin just wouldn’t last long enough. As such a new suit of powered exo-armor was developed along with it. It is somewhat modular in a way that additional equipment can be mounted on the outside.

Composite armor - With bulkiness not being the issue, the armor was made out of a composite improving upon the nickel-gold alloy. It is worth noting that unlike the Titanuis suit, the ASTRA armor is made to be a front line soldier, thus is overall heavier, especially from the front, closer to the Warmachine suit. With the need to accept a pilot, the armor also has weak spots at the joints and openings. Unlike the suits Thomas designed for humans, the ASTRA suit does not have its own power source or CPUs, relying on the ASTRA unit piloting it, making it useless if stolen. It can however work without being completely assembled, as long as the part is interfaced with the pilot.

Forcefield emitters - The armor has additional emitters, two on the back and one larger on the chest.

20mm launcher - ASTRA can choose to integrate a firearm that can both launch standard 20mm grenades, or focus the same forcefields as the emitters in the shape of a dense beam.

Increased strength, decreased mobility - Once the armor is on, ASTRA can lift up to 300 tons (heavy duty railway locomotive). However, the armor’s mobility suite is far clunkier, and limits ASTRA to human speed.

Relationships:

Thomas Starke - Alex considers Thomas as a father despite it initially being only a cover story. In fact, she’s full fledged daddy’s girl, albeit now they don’t get to see each other often - it only makes her treasure those moments more. Vice versa, Thomas initially created ASTRA with a purpose, but the prototype’s personality started growing on him, making him think over his plans for her.

Trivia:

NTBITIHT

Name: Carver Edson
Original/Canon: Orginal sort of rework of Canon
Alias: Sliver
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Sexuality: Straight
Skills and Powers: Klyntar/symbiote powers

Ability to create webbing using Biomatter created webs. the webbing created by the Klyntar is a strong substance that degrades fast but starts off strong enough to holster up cars. the more webbing used the stronger it is. The bio matter does get weaker the more 'hungry' Carver gets. It builds off of food, breaking down the carbs and matter into the bio matter substance.

Monstrous strength, able to lift a normal four door car. With a bit of strain. Lifting a standard sedan or famly car is his limit. He can lift it over his head for a minute

The symbiotes suit can shape shift into multiple forms from the extremities, increasing or decreasing its durability. Creating shields and bladed weapons. Going as far as creating extra extremities like spikes along any part o which the suit covers. The ability can also shift the entire suit into an shape turning Carver into anyone or any clothing choice

Healing factor, He can heal almost any wound rather quickly as long as his organs remain fine. The healing factor does heal organs to a point just much slower. There are limits, if the bio matter is lacking in sustaince then the healing factor wont work, or if a mass amount of damage done at one time, say he is caught in a blast of a explosion the healing rate is slowed.

All the abilites are negated and stopped by massive loud sound vibrations. Normally on a supersonic frequency or if he gets to close to a giant bell

Bio:
Carver Edson was a ordinary pizza delivery man. Sort of a nerd before the day he fused with the Sliver symbiote. He was five seven and weighed around one hundred twenty pounds. He was a skinny weakling.The symbiote changed him, it was created by a faction of Aqua working to create the ultimate symbiote. Using just a sliver fragment from the Venom symbiote to create a brand new symbiote. The reason for its creation was to create a weapon that can battle people like the avengers.

The symbiote was created and bred from the Fragment of the Venom symbiote. Then was blasted with large amounts of gamma radiation and fused with large amounts of liquid adamantium. Shield got involved before its completion the lab was 'destroyed'. The symbiote unknowingly was labeled as toxic waste and was shipped out to be disposed of in a toxic waste dump. It never made it to the dump before it ran into a car collision.
The large containment truck crashed into a pizza delivery car. Carver Edson's car. The truck's container busted covering the fiery remains and Carver within a silver slime being the Sliver symbiote. The fire acting as an activation and Carver being the only living being for it to cling onto at the time it fused to a badly injured Carver.

It healed him an from that point Carver was fused with the alien symbiote. It changed him he was now six foot tall and the biomass of the symbiote changed Carver's body structure making him more lean and muscular. Granting him with astonishing abilities, along with the mind and personality of the symbiote turning him into Sliver.
Other: Carver and the Sliver symbiote have two different personalities. Carver is a bit of a fun person. While he understands when he has to be serious and personal understanding of right and wrong with that of a hero mentality. The Sliver symbiote is a bit more primal. A creature with a child like mind with that of a primal urge to tear things apart. While it isnt like the other symbiotes everything it does and learned has been from Carver or its basic instincts. From time to time if Carver is in battle and is knocked out the symbiote will take over and it is drastic to what it does compared to Carver.

NTBITIHT



Name: Seraphina Grey

Alias: Non- Sometimes goes by Grey instead of Seraphina

Original/Canon/Non-Canon: Reimagined Canon

Species: Human/Mutant

Age: 19

Gender: Female

Sexuality: Bisexual/ Prefers women, but does date men sometimes as well. Men have to be really flirty and good looking to get her attention.

Powers:
#1. Telepathy
She is able to hear anyone's thoughts within a three mile radius of herself and project her own thoughts into someone's mind. She is also able to track minds and know how far they are from her, but it requires a lot of focus. The voices all tend to jumble together in her head making it hard to hear her own thoughts at times.

Drawback: Her telepathy often causes her to get migraines and also sometimes prevents her from sleeping. Loud noises also makes it hard for her to concentrate and can make her lose her focus on keeping the thoughts of other people contained. This is one way for sure way for an enemy to weaken her.

#2. Telekinesis
Grey has the ability to levitate, move, immobilize, and manipulate objects with her mind. She can also project waves of telekinetic energy to impulse, hit and destroy many objects or people. Currently she is in the process of trying to learn to project a telekinetic shield to deflect people or objects from touching her.

#3. Mental Illusions
Grey is able to change what a person sees around them. They could be standing in a small dilapidated house, but she could make them think and see that they are in a mansion. This ability is one she stills has trouble with and doesn’t fully know how to use, but is slowly learn control it. With a lot of focus and concentration she can do this to up 2 people at a time, but she has only ever done that once.

Skills:

Fighting- She has been learning a few different forms of martial arts so that she doesn’t always rely on her powers to protect her. She now knows Judo/ different techniques in kick boxing, and Aikido.

Book Smart- She is a very book smart type of girl and has always scored an A on most of the tests she has taken in her life. She could have easily been able to also pluck the answer she needs out of most people’s heads if she wanted to, but rarely does it since she prides herself on naturally smart.

Calm effect: Grey has a calming effect on people and can generally calm most people down when they are scared or overly excited.

Personality: Sera walks through life looking as if she has everything together and knows how to handle anything that comes at her. At one point in time, that would have been all an act to keep people from believing she wasn’t about to fall apart, but now she truly is as calm and collected as she looks. At least, most of the time she is. There are still times when she can’t handle the voices. This is mostly in large crowds of people or when she is too tired to block out people’s thoughts. Grey thinks everything she does very thoroughly and tries not to dive right into things. She doesn’t like conflict very much, but participates in it when she must. She is a very friendly type and will be social and helpful when she needs to be. She speaks in a very calm manner, which makes people a little annoyed when they try to fight with her on things. When she is angry you will certainly know it. Most people don’t realize the true power behind her and when she is mad that power will shine through. Once she is really angered it takes a bit for her to calm herself back down. She becomes very snappy and is more prone to being violent in those moments

Biography: Much of Seraphina’s life has been at a school for gifted people. She was approached at a young age by the school due to her parents not knowing how to control her powers and the fact they could never get her to sleep. She also screamed a lot because of all the voices flooding her head. Once the principle of the school had met with her he easily realized why it was she acted the way she did. He knew her pain and knew how to help with it, which is exactly what he did.

She didn’t return home from the school once she got there and started learning how to control herself. Her parents weren’t very interested in taking her back either since they didn’t understand the child they created. After years of training with the x-men and learning to control her power, Professor X and Wolverine came to her with a surprising opportunity. They told her a new sort of team was in the process of being assembled, a team Wolverine had actually been on in the past, and that she was a prime cadidate for it. She is soon set to leave the school for the West Coast to become apart of S.H.E.I.L.D, where she will meet the other young supers who she will be working with.

Other: She likes roses and music. Music helps keep her calm and blocks the world around her out.
