Gender: Female
Age: 24
Team: Affiliated with S.H.I.E.L.D, otherwise no.
Physical Description:
Jie stands at 5 foot 6 and has a thin, but muscular physique. Her hair is medium length and black, and she wears it in the style of 'ox horns' when in 'costume', while wearing it down when she's off duty. Her eyes are a rather normal brown.
Items/Weapons:
While her weapons vary depending on her mission, she has a few staple weapons that come with her on every mission. Primarily her combat knife, accompanied by either a silenced M1911 pistol or a silenced Uzi sub-machine gun.
Powers:
Jie possesses two powers, her enhanced body and her control over electricity. Her enhanced body encompasses all aspects of her, she can lift up to 1,000 lbs, sprint at speeds of up to 30 miles per hour and fall from several stories with little to no injury.
Along with this, she has some control over electricity after her fight with Thor years previous. She is able to generate bursts of electricity from her hands and in turn uses this electricity in order to power up her attacks.
Weakness:
While her durability is enhanced somewhat, Jie is very much mostly human. Her durability really just extends to blunt force and the like, a bullet will still kill her if she isn't wearing proper gear.
Skills:
Jie is an expert with most forms of weaponry, be it firearm or melee. Along with this, she has knowledge of numerous fighting techniques and creeds, favouring Jeet Kune Do over most others. She is also a highly skilled operative of S.H.I.E.L.D and her time in the Toy Dolls program has taught her many different military skills and whatnot, mostly to do with covert operations. She is also apt in psychological de-programming as a result of the Toy Dolls program.
Personality:
Resourceful and determined, Jie is the perfect soldier. While on mission, she will often take the role of leader when with a squad, especially since her appointment with S.H.I.E.L.D. She takes her work rather seriously, and an insult to it is an insult to her, and will quickly anger her to the point of foolhardiness.
Outside of her work, Jie portrays an elegant, sweet and feminine personality, topped with a dash of fun loving and cheerfulness.
Origin:
The 玩具公仔 or 'Toy Doll' program was a set of experiments devised by an underground Chinese organisation by the name of 'The Poison Tail'. The program was solely subjected onto infant girls, most of which were taken on the night of their birth. Many of the infants were taken on the same night, the 28th of December, and the surviving members of the Toy Doll program were all born on this day.
The program was headed by Dr. Sibo Liu and was overseen by him until his eventual death during the escape of the Toy Dolls. The Toy Dolls were injected at birth with various experimental toxins and chemicals, and were subjected to a rigorous training regime throughout their lives within the program. The reason for the programs creation is unknown, but many theorize they were to be used for political and corporate assassination, along with being rented out as assassins for hire.
While the Toy Dolls escaped the facility, many conspiracy theorists rumour that The Poison Tail have begun operating once again and the former Toy Doll, Golden Star has gone public in saying that she is tracking and hunting down this new resurgence to the best of her ability.
Background history:
Jie was born on the 28th of December to a family of farmers, she was destined to grow up in her parents footsteps and take over the farm for them when they were too old to work on it. She was born as a twin, with her sister being only a minute or so younger than her. Unfortunately, the sisters never even got to see their parents properly, let alone the farm before they were snatched away by 'The Poison Tail'.
The Poison Tail were a set of organisations who came together to build a secret underground facility for the creation and training of a set of assassins. These assassins were named the 'Toy Dolls' for their gender, and the way that their hair was styled into Ox Buns. Roughly around 50 infants were snatched from multiple countries across the world, with the majority being taken from Chinese hospitals.
The girls grew up in very secluded lives. They only ever interacted with 4 or 5 other Toy Dolls when not doing training or a simulation, and their knowledge of the outside world was limited to the books, technology and weaponry they were forced to learn how to utilize. Occasionally they would be treated to a movie or even a full season of a television show if they were lucky, but these events were few and far between.
Nevertheless, the Toy Dolls formed a sisterly bond between each other and became the best of friends through their strife within the facility. For the first 6 or so years of the Toy Dolls lives, they were treated rather well, but this quickly changed when they had all turned 7. Psychological torture and beatings began becoming commonplace in order to stop them from cracking under pressure or torture. Disobeying a direct order could result in weeks of solitary confinement and many died during the first year of this treatment.
The few who survived began becoming battle hardened machines, their powers came to fruition and The Poison Tail began hiring out super villain contractors to help train these powers. By the time they were 14, the Toy Doll project was almost complete, and they were becoming more and more brainwashed into becoming the assassins The Poison Tail had always wanted them to be.
Unfortunately, Jie wasn't one to crack under that sort of pressure. She had always kept a firm grasp on her humanity and began turning the other Toy Dolls back into their former selves as time went on. They devised a plan to break free of the facility during their weapons training course and put the plan into action as soon as possible. The plan went extremely smoothly, with the only death being that of the head researcher, Dr. Sibo Liu.
The girls escaped the facility and travelled as a troupe until they were discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. They gave them the option of becoming anything they'd like, essentially setting them up with any job or life they could ever dream of. Many of the girls wished for a normal life, and got what they wished, Jie, however wished to be a superhero. Nick Fury was never one to break his promises and set Jie up in a training program in her home country of China.
She became a proper hero by the time she turned 18, and went by the alias of 'Golden Star', an homage to her home country's flag. She became extremely well known within China for her crime stopping ways, battling normal criminal and super villain alike in the quest for peace. Recently she has moved to America, as per the request of S.H.I.E.L.D, in order to help combat some of the more dangerous villains there.
