Real Name:William van Astrea
Superhero Alias:Astral
Age:16
Gender:Male
Species:Human
Powers:Mind and MatterAstral's power, passed down through his family, allows him to separate himself into a physical and astral form. At first glance it seems like a simple clone ability but does much more.
Separated from the "Mind", his physical body is freed of some of the mental limiters that inhibit a human's physical abilities due to potential damage to the body. This gives his physical body minor superhuman strength, speed, and reflexes. However, without the "Mind", his physical body is more susceptible to mental attacks and manipulation.
Separated from the "Matter", his astral form is freed from the physical limitations of a human body granting it the ability to fly, phase, use telekinesis (inanimate objects only), and manipulate astral energies to attack. His astral body is also unable to be touched by physical means but in turn cannot interact with the physical world. However, without the "Matter", the astral body lacks durability and can be incapacitated or forced back together with the physical body with minimal use of the right tactics.
When the two bodies are forced back together, he is unable to separate again for five minutes. Needless to say, when not separated Astral is a normal human.
Abilities:TacticianAstral is an expert at analyzing and creating strategies, especially in the middle of a mission/battle. While some of this can be attributed to his extensive studies preparing him to lead the Astrea family which included military tactics and strategy, he always had a mind for information gathering. His ability to adapt to situations and restructure his approach makes his position in the Teen Sentinels nigh unchallenged.
Adept Hand-to-HandDue to the risks of damage to his physical body when separated, Astral thought it wise to learn how to fight and utilize his body's enhanced to properties properly to avoid overexertion and backlash. He trained enough to compete with high level martial artists.
Tools and WeaponsWhen not using/is unable to use his power, Astral is an ordinary human. Thus, he compensates with with a small arsenal to compete against the superpowered.
Equipment:Dual DaggersAstral's go to weapons as it is also the combat style of the Astrea family.
Smoke BombsFor distractions or quick getaways.
Personality:Essentially, Astral is a thrill seeker. He enjoys a good challenge, a good time, and a good laugh. He carries himself with confidence and regality, as well as a level head. Since he's willing to take on any challenge at a moment's notice it takes more than taunting to get under his skin. First to confront an adversary and last to retreat, Astral is a determined young man who uses every asset at his disposal to complete a mission.
Brief Backstory:William van Astrea is the heir to a royal bloodline and his whole life was being groomed to carry on the Astrea lineage and traditions. Including, the family's most well kept secret and a large part of their continued success. The power of
Mind and Matter. However, Astral, as he goes by now, didn't want to live a life that was charted out for him or be a part of the more questionable practices his family employed to gain their status. A life of routine and maintaining image; not a chance. Despite his reluctance to follow his family's plan he always enjoyed his studies. Astral had a mind for knowledge and expanding his horizons. So, after the ceremony in which he inherited
Mind and Matter, Astral left home, using his new abilities to cover his tracks. He'd decided to venture out and experience more of the world, put his family power to better use than shady business struggles, and find what he wanted out of life. A few months later, Astral found himself in Rush City when some trouble was going down. He jumped into action to help, using his powers, and saving people. He found that not only was the experience a thrill but he couldn't but smile as the people he saved thanked him. Their smiling faces helped him make his decision to stay in Rush City.
