Name: Ryan Morrison
Alias: Star Striker
Age: 28
Gender: male
Equipment: Ryan uses a large assortment of alien weapons and equipments which he stores in pen-sized capsules that allow them to be stored in such small space. The jacket that he wears have anti gravity cells in the fabric which allow him to fly and the fabric is made up of materials that can survive in space. He wears armor that is made up of a very light and extremely dense metal which protects him from energy attacks and extreme force. He also wears a belt that surrounds his body in an aura of artificial atmosphere that allows him to survive in space and on planets with no oxygen. The list of weapons that he is equipped with are as followed.
the Rogorian Hammer 3000: this gun is an automatic weapon that fires off blasts of superheated blue energy in rapid succession.
the Ulgran: This weapon is a shotgun that fires a blast of energy and explodes on contact to increase its lethality.
the Heatron: this gun can fire rays of concentrated heat of varying degrees, and because it is a handgun and not as heavy as his other guns, Ryan can quick draw with this weapon. He has two of these guns.
Sunblade: a sunblade is a sword that uses hydrogen and helium in the handle to create a blade that is incredibly hot. the sword has a crossguard and is meant to be wielded with two hands.
Ultra Gloves: these advanced gloves can fire off beams of concussive energy out of the palms and on the wrist is a supercomputer where he can access information and communicate with others through almost any known waves of communication.Finally these gloves can create a tractor and repulsion beam which he can use to either pull things towards him or repel them, he also can use the repel power with his fist to make his punches hit with more force and send his enemies flying.
Skills/Abilities: He is an excellent marksman and hand to hand combatant. He has many years worth of experience fighting threats throughout the galaxy and has a very tactical mind. Growing up as trainee to the Galactic Wardens has seen him given among the best education in the known universe, and even though he is not a genius, he knows more than any ordinary human. He is fluent in several alien languages even though the supercomputer on his glove can translate the speech of almost any known sentient lifelorm. He is really strong and incredibly athletic when it comes physical exertion.
Powers: he has no superpowers, but he is at the absolute peak of human physical perfection.
Weaknesses: if you take away his armor then he has the same vulnerabilities as a regular human. His weapons are powered by alien rechargeable batteries that absorb energy from the rays of stars and space, because of this they need to turned off in order to recharge so if all of his weapons' batteries are out of power then he will be weaponless. He also has a bad case of being afraid of not being quick enough to stop the death of innocents.
Personality: Ryan is a man of tough metal and very determined in his resolve. He takes his job very seriously but that doesn't stop him from making jokes if the situation seems funny. Many would describe him as a man of great judgement and power. He is incredibly tenacious and tries to think up a way out of any situation that turns sour. His iron strong will is arguably his greatest strength since it has been said that it is impossible to break and keeps him fighting. Thanks to his training as a Galactic Warden, Ryan is normally of a personality that most regular humans would call very hardcore. His morals are firm and detests criminals but he is not afraid to strip someone of their rights if it means helping maintain law and order.
He does not fear death and has been taught that as a Galactic Warden, his job is to make sure that the innocent live even if it means sacrificing himself. One of the first things that trainees of the Galactic Wardens go through is the process of eliminating their fears and for the most part it is successful, but there are still things that Ryan fears. Some of his fellow wardens say that it's his human nature that does that, he believes that it's something all sentient life has and no training process can get rid of it completely. Being an orphan when he was taken to the Galactic Warden training academy, Ryan is still haunted by the murder of his parents and has bouts of anxiety and sometimes can be a bit of control freak.
Politically, he is a traditionalist and believes in an authoritarian governmental system where the law enforcement have the most power where law and order are top priorities. Even though he is from earth, Ryan has a dislike of modern day constant desires for freedom and lawlessness. Many non-members of law enforcement would call him a fascist and he wouldn't get upset at being called that, although he doesn't believe himself to be one. Ryan does believe that rights should be sacrificed for the good of society and that it is the citizens' job to always respect the law and keep order in society. He has honor codes and is very loyal to those he assists as long as they aren't trying to break the law, but if he is betrayed then his trust in that person is lost forever. Because of his beliefs and morals, Ryan is lawful neutral, but he does try to lean towards good and prefers laws that are for the good of the people. Finally he hates corruption and traitors to the law, there are few things besides murderers and scumbags that will piss him off more than crooked law enforcement.
History: Life for Ryan was not a happy one and even at an early age tragedy struck. He was born to a lower middle class family in a small town in the state of Texas, and for as long as he could remember he had always been fascinated by the idea of traveling through space and encountering aliens on distant worlds. He read old sci fi books and comics to fill his very young mind. Reading about superheroes like Green Lantern who had many heroic adventures in space were among the things that excited him most and he wished many times that he could become a Green Lantern to live out his dream. But life wouldn't grant him his wish and things take a turn for the worst. On his seventh birthday, he had been out with some friends playing superhero and when it came time to head home, he came back to his house to find it trashed.
He called out to his parents, but no one answered and Ryan quickly hurried around the house in a panic to find them. He eventually came to his parents bedroom and was met by a sight that no child should ever see in their life. His parents' bloodied bodies were laying on the floor and blood was splattered everywhere. His mom had been sexually assaulted and the beaten to death and his dad had signs of being struck in the head several times with a blunt object. Ryan eyes grew wide and he screamed out of sheer shock and terror. He didn't know how long he stayed in the room by his parent's bodies, but the police came and removed him from the room. He didn't talk for several days and barely ate any food, this made the authorities worried and the chief of police reassured him that they would catch the bastard that did this to his parents.
Eventually the police managed to apprehend the criminal and he put behind bars for the rest of his life, but Ryan's life as he had known it was over. Because he didn't have any close relatives, he was placed in an orphanage where he spent about a year not socializing that much and getting into fights with bullies. His sense of righting wrongs and wanting justice and order had been born from his traumatic experience. Because of his violent behavior towards bullies, the people in charge of the orphanage were worried that he wouldn't be adopted if he kept fighting. But at age eight his life would once again make a surprising change. After he had gotten into another fight with a punk at the orphanage, he ran out of the place in frustration at being scolded for teaching the kid some manners. He wandered into the woods close by and after several minutes of walking, he saw a bright flash of light as a glowing metallic ship came down from the night sky. He couldn't believe his eyes, it was like one of his comic books had come to life, and second later he was surrounded in a beam of light and pulled into the ship.
Inside the ship he noticed other human children and wondered where the aliens were. He was then greeted by a medium-sized floating robot that gave its greetings to him and Ryan asked where it was taking him. The robot informed him that he and the other humans aboard the spacecraft were on a scout ship that was tasked with traversing the galaxy to find young sentient lifeforms to to be indoctrinated into the Galactic Wardens' training program. Because earth was considered a primitive world, despite the presence of superheroes, the scout ships would take orphans who had no family and put them through the training program. Ryan was one of those orphans, he at first was stunned and then was both excited and scared of what was going to happen to him when their journey was finished.
The ship traveled through space for what seemed like several days and eventually came to what looked like a massive space station that was bigger than several city blocks. This space station was actually one of the many academies where the young recruits were brought to begin their training to become Galactic Wardens. The academies could land on planets when an assignment or tests called for it, and when in space the giant schools produced their own breathable atmosphere, and artificial gravity. Once the ship landed in the docking area of the academy, Ryan and the other human children went through the initiation process of being shown around the academy and given the rules of the school. He learned that the Galactic Wardens were an interstellar police force similar to the Green Lantern Corp in comic books, but instead of answering to one race of beings, the Galactic Wardens were lead by a joint group of leaders from all over the galaxy. The Wardens' duties were to combat lawlessness throughout the galaxy and Ryan would be training to become one. Because of how long the training of a Galactic Warden is, most recruits who begin training are children and can range from ages ten to as little as five.
Once the tour and indoctrination ceremony was complete, Ryan was shown to the living quarters for the new students and was told by a service robot that their training would begin in the morning the next day. He found it hard to sleep after having such a big change in his life and he found this true for the other human recruits as well as some of the aliens. So they spent a good few hours introducing themselves and talking about their life before the scout ships picked them up. Like with Ryan, a lot of them had tragic pasts and were orphans on their home planet. The next day they were shown to the training center by one of the staff members of the academy and that's where they met their Galactic Warden training officer. He was a humanoid alien with the appearance of what looked like a wolf like dog but with skin that was more similar in texture to that of hippo, and he had four heavily muscular arms instead of two like a human.
As Ryan almost expected, the training officer was a hardcore and strict teacher of the physical arts of fighting. The first thing he said to them was his name which was Powlor, and that he was going to be their worst nightmare as students and push them to their limits. He first had them to forty pushups and then made them run around a tracker for a couple of miles. He then made them lift weights for over an hour without even giving them a break, and several of the new trainees passed out from exhaustion. After several hours of strength and endurance training they were finally allowed to go eat and have a break. Training was incredibly and the next day they went into hand to hand combat lessons. Eventually they started training to use the alien weapons that Galactic Wardens use to fight crime in the galaxy.
And so Ryan spent many years training to become a Galactic warden and eventually he graduated the academy and became a full Galactic Warden, as a way of protecting their identities, Galactic Wardens take up aliases, and Ryan chose the name Star Striker as his alias. He then spent several years fighting off threats to the galaxy and eventually found his way back to earth on an assignment to combat the potential danger that earth could face if interstellar forces start using the metahumans of the planet to commit even more crimes throughout the galaxy.
Other: he has a space ship called the Starhawk which he uses to travel the galaxy.
