The Legacy

Personality:

Shauna grew up as a superhero, acted the part and showed the world she was a good girl... but she didn't understand why her superhero family was so broken. Shauna became bitter and cynical towards her father, and clung desperately to her distant mother. Left alone in the world, Shauna realized even superheroes were just people, and all that mattered was looking out for herself. Shauna was bitter, hot tempered and prone to anger, but has considerably mellowed in her mid 30's.

History:

Shauna boasts an extensive superhero lineage, her mother's father having been The Atom, A Jewish scientist who fought the Nazi Ubermensch. Her mother meanwhile, was the superpowered Sun Queen, a scientist turned energy being who averted some of the greatest apocalyptic threats in the 80's. Her father and older brother was El Tigre Sr and El Tigre Jr, Luchador themed superheroes possessed of supernatural Mayan beast spirits. It was no surprise that from a young age, Shauna Roth Masters would be involved in the superhero life, beginning her career at age 7 as Laser Ladette, accompanying her parents in the field as a superhero family team in Mexico and most of South America.

Friction developed in the family when the question of the future arose one day, as Sun Queen wished for her children to have the option to live normal lives. Tigre decided to cash in on their image meanwhile, providing initial financial success. But soon making money was more lucrative, and while the Masters children were given the best education and opportunities, their family life languished as Sun Queen continued to evolve as an energy being and the Tigre's business demanded his time.

Determined to strike out on her own, Shauna joined the military when she was 17, joining the Marines initially and then was trained extensively as a pilot in the Air Force. After that she went underground, and formed the Tigresses- a four woman squadron of international mercenaries who wished to hide their metahuman powers, being the Black Tigress. At this point Shauna denounced her heroic past and undertook self serving goals; ultimately her moral compass and the sights she saw in her line of work would open her eyes and rekindle her compassionate side, ultimately disbanding the Tigresses and helped found a Metahuman Bar with former enemies and friends, then finally putting her knowledge to good use and taking up Medicine.

Along the way Shauna has "officially retired" several times, but finds herself drawn into heroics when the need for a hero of her caliber was great. Deciding once and for all that she could do it on the weekends, She collaborated with Hel Atterius to develop a special suit powered by her innate abilities, and christening herself the New Sun Queen, and "officially retired" again.

The Powers

Power 1: Eye Projected Plasma Beams: Shauna's signature power, she projects a distinct, emerald-green plasma beam from her eyes, far above the power of the strongest industrial lasers. The Plasma Beams are thermal in nature, imprecise and highly destructive - she can reduce whole buildings to molten slag in minutes, and blow off the limbs of the most durable metahumans. Her special suit harnesses this Plasma energy for a multitude of uses. (See Power Suit Below)

Power 2: Super sight: Shauna’s eyes are so finely tuned to the entire electromagnetic spectrum she is capable of multiple sight modes. She can see into the infrared spectrum and detect heat, as well as the UV spectrum. Has x-ray vision and telescopic vision, able to compete with the most cutting edge binoculars or scopes. She is also immune to any attempt to blind her with light.

Power 3: Solar powered physiology: On a physiological level, Shauna isn't quite human anymore. When exposed to solar energy, she is capable of rapid cellular regeneration to a high degree. Her food requirements also begin to be reduced, as she is quite literally becoming solar powered.

Power 4: Superhuman Reflexes: A quirk of Shauna's perception is her capability of immensely quick reaction times and information processing.

RP Mechanics

RP Mechanic 1: Veteran Shauna has accumulated a lifetime of experience in armed and unarmed combat and technical skills. She can fly a large assortment of aircraft- planes and helicopters- and knows how to handle high explosives. She is a skilled user of firearms.

RP Mechanic 2: Medical Training Shauna is a certified Medical Doctor and paramedic.

RP Mechanic 3: Well Adjusted Having been a superhero since she was 5, Shauna has had extensive counseling and therapy since the beginning of her military life, and maintains a positive but practical outlook in life. She can offer guidance to less experienced metahumans.

Weaknesses:
- Shauna possesses human level durability, thus is relatively fragile.
- Plasma Beams always fire in a straight line.
- Plasma Beams are vulnerable to redirection by reflective surfaces.
- A single Plasma Beam is Shauna's default attack; using her power to project a sustained beam is much more taxing, causing her to go into a 1 turn cooldown.
- Lead blocks super vision.
- Shauna's Mantis Shrimp level of vision means she sees the world far differently. She can see temperature, radiation, electronic signals, but she is functionally colorblind in the human world.
- Shauna must stand still to use super vision at significant ranges.
- Shauna's x-ray vision DOES NOT give people cancer! But people would still think so and think poorly of her.
- Keeping Shauna in the dark for prolonged periods accelerates her fatigue and hunger.

Items

The Sun Queen's Suit: Developed by Hel Atterius and Shauna in a collaborative effort, the Sun Queen Suit allows Shauna to harness her plasma projection into varied, precise forms. Form fitting, Tron Inspired and very superhero.
Powers:
Wrist Mounted Energy Blades The suit's arms have wrist mounted, physical blades that can be sheathed in energy fields, in effect creating energy swords capable of cutting through anything.
Energy Barrier The Suit's chest piece has built in barrier generators that are capable of deflecting many attacks. replenishes in one turn if both energy nodes are channeled to it.
Flight The suit has a special anti-gravity drive and propulsion mounted on the back, granting Shauna advanced flight capabilities, usable even in water or in space.
Life Support The suit itself can be completely sealed and can recycle Shauna's air, granting her survivability in hostile environments like water or space.

Item Weaknesses
- The suit's power distribution permits only a maximum of two suit powers in a given turn. Barrier+ Flight, Barrier+ Blades, etc. etc. Channeling both power nodes to a single power supercharges it.
- Significant damage to a part of the suit will disable the power associated with that part.
- Energy Barrier scatters deflected projectiles at random trajectories, endangering nearby innocents or allies.
- Energy Barrier has an electronic pulse nature, potentially disabling all nearby electronics without significant EM shielding.
