[attr="class","body"] This girl had a WICKED aura, but Vanessa dug it. Those piercing eyes were full of death, but to Star Power? That's a door to thrilling chaos. As the girl questioned what she meant by Queensland, Vanessa figured some of the things she said were probably strange. "Oh, Great Britain. England, specifically. Don't worry, lass, it means I'm used to a place that needs to loosen up a bit." After passing up the gun unknowingly and exploding the man's jaw, there was this moment of beauty that put an awe-inspired smile on Vanessa's face. "Pretty? Y'think my quirk is pretty?" Slapping her thigh and taking in the glory of someone appreciating not the FUNCTION of her quirk, but the BEAUTY of it, Vanessa met someone unique. Everybody considered her quirk too reckless to be of use. Everyone wanted to control her, to control it. Labels wanted her to use it only one way for safe, cowardly fireworks. Her parents wanted her to suppress it into non-usage. Firm bosses wanted her to blow up their enemies but hated the music. Until now, Vanessa couldn't win. Star Power was FREE. "Of course we can be besties, gal! I love fuckin' shit up and rockin' it out." Dusting her hands, she'd see an music store nearby and pointed to it. "You wanna see exactly how I rock it out?" Grinning devilishly, there were shouts in the distance of police approaching. They must've picked a bad time to let loose, but if Rui was walking around with a gun, maybe she brought the trouble with her. They only had a moment to introduce each other properly. "Vanessa, Vanessa Star. Call me Star Power, I'm somewhat of a goon myself." Clicking her tongue, she reached over and grabbed some more trash before tossing it at the group of cops approaching. The trash cracked and popped with rock music and explosions, disrupting their press forward and allowing the two to run towards the music store. "You're made of weird stuff, I make stuff explode. I don't care about life or death, I just like the beauty of a starry POP!" Clapping Rui's back, she pointed to her goal and ran. "Let's make some music!"

[attr="class","body"] Oh, things were a mess. Such a beautiful, disastrous mess. Vanessa hadn't had such fun letting loose in a long time, but fun was usually followed by consequences pretty quickly. As she used the dusty shroud to weave through the flailing goons that remained, she would punch in various ways like slamming into the gut of one, the jaw of another. Stamping their clothes and watching them rend with explosions and song would put a smile on Vanessa's face. Rhea shot a man in the groin, which felt justified to her. They tried tussling with the wrong person and learned a valuable lesson. One thug remained after the assault, who tried rushing Vanessa from behind. Slapping him and shoving a metal bar through his teeth, it began to glow. "Oh, lass, let me get you a drink." Taking the money off of the goons, the bar would take a while and she'd gesture for them to leave. Acting with a rough regality, almost like a noble courting another, Vanessa flashed the yen after. "Let's get outta this bloody hellhole and make use of their penance." Hoping Rhea would agree, they'd leave together and hopefully find a place not too close by to eat as a proper thank-you.

[attr="class","body"] Vanessa liked Yusuke's style, even if the kindness made him a bit soft and green around the ears. Yeah, green around the ears. Not extremely tougher than Vanessa to the point where she'd get steamrolled if push came to shove (this is totally the case). As they walked and she smoked, he'd turn down her courtesy cigarette which was more of a relief than she'd admit. These things were expensive. Sharing one? She was an idiot for even thinking it! As he described the food they'd enjoy together, she nodded along like she understood. She hadn't the opportunity to properly enjoy Japanese Cuisine, as the most complex dish she was accustomed to was butter chicken and tikka masala back in the Queen's Land. While they walked to the restaurant, they'd get more chummy with one another and speak on their backgrounds. Not a problem, this was the opportunity Vanessa needed to reinvent herself. Vanessa? "Badass punk from the tough boroughs of G-B. Ole' Queensland. A tough nut who's had better days, shipped over here when I made the wrong person mad. So, homeless, penniless. Scrounging for what I got. Listen, Yussy," Swaying her head towards the bat-boy, she took a drag and let the corner of her mouth push the smoke away as a courtesy. "I'm not a good rule-follower. So, don't mind me if I rock-and-roll a bloody bloke or two."Shrugging, she wasn't afraid of a tussle. She wished she could make things pop and sing more often than she did, but fisticuffs were for everyone. "So, life is really about the grind now. I just haven't found the stone to do so." Smoking her cigarette solemnly, she wondered if her 'punk' lifestyle was worth being poor, hungry and filthy all the time. "I'm a musician, you know. Maybe we can rock it out sometime, yeah?"

[attr="class","body"] The thugs happened to mess with the wrong scrappy rocker. They also happened to draw the attention of the wrong siren. There was something that put a smile on Vanessa's face when she heard Rhea's sing-song threat. Something about the beautiful ring, the deadly intent and the delicious confidence of it gave Vanessa a gusto that overrode her annoyance. She also was distracted long enough for a man to punch her gut. Dropping the bar, the thug picked it up and smacked her a couple times with it. Spitting up a little blood and focusing herself, she began dodging the hits. Another thug wanted to flank her, but she grabbed the man's wrist and yanked the bar from his hands before smacking that second idiot away. With the recoil, she held the thug that took cheap pot shots at her and began smacking him repeatedly until he fell. "Y'know? You raise a good point, ma'am. Pretty voice like yours, venomous as it is, is just the inspiration little ole' Star Power needs." Standing with a foot over the gentleman, she tapped her foot like a drum pedal with the bar bouncing off her shoulder in unison. Clearing her throat, she stood straight and began to belt as her foot-taps grew in tempo. "I don't mean to brag," Singing loudly, with a surprising clarity and strong vocal delivery, her song began with a quiet introduction of instrumentals. Where did those instrumentals come from? The clothes on the thug began to glow with different shades of neon lighting. A rock song began piecing together as the colors intensified. Jumping about and stomping around, the music grew in volume as she continued. "But I got 'em where I..." The bar was cherry-red, like a stick of dynamite. Throwing it at a nearby wall, it erupted with a fantastical explosion. "WANT 'EM, NOW!"Explosions riddled the alleyway clearing, each coming from the colorful spots and illuminating clothes that touched Vanessa. She didn't stop moving around, the rock music never ceasing either. The thug she knocked out was mangled, but when she met a deadly siren, she knew it was a sign to impress her. The thugs felt everything shift, two of them frozen in fear by the siren that happened to be closest. Dust obscured the area, created chaos, raised the stakes to life-or-death when they needn't be. All for the beauty of destructive music.

[attr="class","body"] Oh, Vanessa has a dear savior. The asshole that wanted to teach her a lesson was taken down and told off by the bat-boy. On one hand, she hated the idea of owing anybody or needing her battles fought for her. On the other, the guy had it coming. It was either him or her, Yusuke just beat her to the punch. The bat-boy had a bigger heart of gold than her, considering what he said to her thanks. Still, anybody would want to clock the elitist douche. Being met by bat-boy, she crossed her harms with a cheeky smirk. "Needn't a lad or lass to fight my battles, but he deserved it." Admiring how bat-boy took the guy's money, she felt her stomach grumble. There wasn't a single proper meal since her arrival and she felt no shame in a free one now. "Oh, you're speakin' music to my ears, lad." Snapping her fingers, she let him lead the way. "Name's Vanessa, but the streets know me as Star Power." The streets did, in fact, not know she was Star Power. Back home, she had the nickname of Cherrybomb. While they readied their stomachs and cantered their feet in merry unison, she pulled out a wrinkly pack of cigarettes she stole. Pinching off the tip, it let off a little ring before turning cherry-red and popping like a firework. The ignition lit the cigarette and let her begin smoking. "Nasty habit, but the streets are nastier and I need a lil' edge off. Anyways, you want a light?" She didn't mind sharing, she got them for free. Taking a heavy draft and exhaling with a sigh, she wondered if this bat-boy was one of the cool ones or the goody-two-shoes types. "Tell me a little about ya, Yusky-Boy."

[attr="class","body"] "Ya takin' a piss or is that how hard ya hit?"Vanessa was in another brawl. It was her third that week being on the streets of Tokyo. This time, she was in Shibuya after perusing some musical goods. A lot of nostalgia was sold in this pocket of Japan, but it also meant a lot of tourists and a lot of thugs melting together. This time, she was pressed against the wall with a bloody nose and a bunch of younger thugs who saw her as a vulnerable target. There were about seven of them, but she kept her fisticuffs high. One came at her with a bar and she knocked him clean out. "See? That's how ye fuckin' hit, got it?" Spitting on him, she'd grab the bar and see a new person enter the fray. "Ye got a death wish too, aye? Here as back-up for this murder of crows soon to be kippin' about?" Gesturing towards Rhea before using the bar as a sort of directional wand to emphasize how the remaining six were going to be knocked out before long, she staggered. While Vanessa was all for using her quirk, she didn't want to be put up for murder without the right reason or influence. It was only her first couple of weeks in Japan and she didn't know what she was going to stumble into if someone laid dead with their head exploded. "If you're not, let's teach 'em a lesson for muggin' tourists...or homeless or whatever." She was, in fact, that homeless person.

[attr="class","body"] Being homeless SUCKED. Vanessa wouldn't ever apologize for burning bridges or because she hurt the ego of some man who decided to ship her off. Still, she couldn't deny that having nothing but the clothes on her back was not fun. It must be amazing for those with the power to take what they wanted, but she wasn't fooling herself in thinking she could do that now. The chaos in Vanessa was being catalyzed by the spite she felt with everyone making her feel like dirt. The next person she sees she's going to pop in the mouth if they don't come correctly. The next person she saw, at least noticed first, was one of the people who called her dirty. A girl with a gun next. Maybe don't pop the gun-holder in the mouth, but what was this? Someone was going to apologize after all. The setup had many in the area turning and frozen in fear. Such a brazen hostage situation was so sudden, so erratic... So COOL. Vanessa gave a cheeky grin to the gentleman as she awaited her apology. Hearing something with more cowardice than sincerity in it, this gun-toting stranger shot the man in the leg. Startled, Vanessa couldn't help but step back. "Oh-ho-ho! Now you're talkin' my language. See, back in the Queensland, we didn't have guns to talk for us..." As the apology came with a little more yelling and a tiny bit more sincerity, Vanessa grabbed some trash and balled it up. Looking at her soon-to-be friend, the trash began to glow a neon-violet red. Stuffing it in the crying man's mouth, music began...humming from it. Bombs and bullets...might do the trick..."Aye, name's Starbomb." Pushing the stunned man over, the singular line would cut off as the trash exploded and tore apart the man's jaw. Between the bullet and the bomb, it certainly did the trick with making people all around scream. They were going to have some heat coming there way. "Friends, yeah?" Reaching for a handshake, Vanessa's eyes glittered with admiration for the freeing evil of who she would come to know as the pinnacle of besties, Rui.

[attr="class","body"] Oh, this guy was getting on Vanessa's nerves. She had her hand tap-tapping away at the counter as they bickered back and forth. She had half a mind to make everything sing and everything explode and all the wonderful fireworks going off in this bastard's face. Maybe when it was even uglier than it was now, he wouldn't be so snobby and elitist! "Free fuckin' bloody world, man! You can't be hatin' on history when you don't got the slop up here!" Jabbing her temple with her finger, she was moments away from socking the clerk into oblivion before a wonderfully punk heteromorph popped out from the back. Telling off the clerk in the most embarrassing way possible for him, Vanessa leaned back and crossed her arms with the biggest shit-eating grin on her face. "Ah, so a dumb bloke who's work ethic is a load o' tosh. Nice. Maybe quit while you're ahead since you don't know SHIT!"Loud-mouthed, foul and aggressive. Vanessa was the spicy, chaotic kind of person who wasn't above kicking someone when they were down if she felt they deserved it. The lay-up from Yusuke was a welcome surprise that invited cheers from those that just saw the clerk being rude. With a casual middle finger to the clerk who tried stopping the fallen star from going to the back, she leaned in the doorway and watched the bat boy fiddle with his work. "Sorry for the kerfuffle disruptin' the good work. I bet the place couldn't even handle one strum of electric jazz without you. Anyways, thanks!" She began walking out after saying her piece. There wasn't much she could do, she didn't really have money and the clerk made her need some fresh air. Japan has given her a hard enough time, but the rock-star aesthetic of the electrician made her feel that he deserved thanks on the account of probably being another slave cog to the machine. As soon as she was outside, the clerk had a strange burst of courage and followed her. "Aye, what the fuck?"

Shopping malls. So much fluff marketed to the droll civilians who've given up on being their own people. Vanessa was a rebel, a disruptor in the world of mind-controlled ignorance. They think it's bliss, but she thinks it's a matrix of make-believe that hides the suffering they really feel. They can't use their quirks? They can't beat down the creeps that whistle their way? Bullshit. So for a disruptor, why was she admiring the clothes she saw in the stores? Even the fake-punk stores like Fire Thread, Steven's and Adventure's drew her eye. Her clothes needed a good cleaning...and laundromats were expensive. Wow, she needed money. Her stomach roared -- she must need food as well. No friends to frolic with, no job to spend money from; Vanessa was alone. There were upsides. No parents to tell her to be good. No boss to break her hand when she took too many cookies from the jar. Nobody to tell her that she was wrong when she wasn't. All she needed now was a best friend. Someone to crowd surf with, make music on the streets with, do crime with. That would be nice. Not someone who was her superior, nor her underling because gross. Where would that best friend be? Who would she share the pleasure of breaking the glass on the jewelry stores be? As she walked the mall, she held a little trinket she found on the street. A toy that some kid must have dropped. Unappreciated it was. Unwelcome she was, apparently, as someone loudly exclaimed how she smelled and should get out of the mall. Wow, rude. Tempted to chuck the trinket, she instead made the person flinch and walked off. "Bloody bastards..." Sitting at a bench with her head in her hand, she was sad. Rui Matsui

Music was the only solace Vanessa had in her tumultuous arrival in Japan. She pissed off the wrong people and now she was broke, homeless and doing the pettiest of crimes to improve her slim quality of life. Still, this beat being a do-gooder who cow-towed to big-wigs for a terrible loan. The industry was terrible, but all these caged artists made some pretty good music. With the money she's made mugging people in Shinjuku, she's scraped up enough to find Shibuya and walk out with a music player. The money was for the travel, but nobody said anything about the music player she wanted. The shop she found had some retro pieces, which appealed to her. Something without radio, something aesthetic to the punk style she maintained. With a red jacket on, dusty and dingy from her street-living, she just seemed like another poser punk when it came to those that spent the day in this shop. This was one way to fly under the radar. That was...until she ran into the elitist clerk who spoke on a classic punk band by the name of the Pebblestone Peasants. English rockers that had some niche in Japan for the audiophiles. "Look, look, I understand that you like them because they're from the 'Queen's Land'...but they weren't legit. All of their music was for some image that hid the riches they really had." Vanessa slammed her hand down on the counter and pointed at the clerk. "You bloody poser! How dare you insult their integrity. They played for riots, rebellions and didn't become donkeys for the lizard labels that took everyone's money!" Going back and forth, Vanessa's face began reddening deeper and she was almost tempted to play a little music for the shop... Yusuke Komoriya

Shinjuku, a place for the animal underbelly of Japan. A place of things painted in a dark tone and neon lights. Tokyo was a dense urban jungle not unlike the old stomping grounds of Vanessa, a surprise immigrant. The night was as lively, if not livelier than the day. Shinjuku was full of bad deals and bitchin' crimes. The heroes hadn't tamed the underworld of villainy and that's what made the explosive rock-star able to disappear after being dumped off of one of those slow-swimming freights. For the past few weeks, she's been calmer than she's ever been. Sure, she could make some things pop with pretty lights and let her worries wash away in the fireworks. In fact, she was itching to do that more than ever. There was nobody to run with, nobody to work for; she was an outsider. A foreigner who only knew some languages because of her childhood. That was a trap, but it would come in handy now that she was off the silver spoon. Walking the streets, hands tucked in her coat and hood covering her face, she saw a frustrating attempt from some mechanics leaning against the edge of their bay door. They were cat-calling, disgusting. A few ladies just smiled and walked, but eventually someone who looked like a university student with a bit of weight on her received more gross attention than the others. They preyed on her assumed loneliness and Vanessa rolled her eyes. She couldn't watch anymore, so she decided to step in. "Oi, fuckin' asshat. Step off, back in your little oily garage and stick it in some motor oil." Cursing back at her, he'd lift up a wrench that was nearby as the university girl used the opportunity to escape. Messily swinging, Vanessa dipped and socked the man to the ground. "Stay down, ugly creep. I'll be back if I catch you again."Spitting on him, she would make good with her promise. The next day, she watch from across the street. One of these days, they'd get the attention of the wrong person. Fortunately for Vanessa, it wasn't just her that day they'd piss off. Mira Kyō

Vanessa isn't a villain because she likes the labels, she's a villain because she hates them. The only thing you can become when wanting to diverge from the normal, restrictive society is a villain. There wasn't an inherent need to kill nor an altruistic presence within her soul. She was punk because she was the disruptor businessmen always claim to be. It wasn't for riches, though she had a soft spot for being idolized from a distance. Key word, distance. She doesn't like up-close attention. She wants to be admired, respected as a SYMBOL. The respect she wants is not desired from the kind where a person is adored as a hero or feared as some reviled villain. She wants to be a ROCKSTAR, one that creates big and beautiful explosions and raw expressions of her quirk. True expression didn't adhere to rules, nor did it adhere to some definition of consistency. In that way, Vanessa is flawed. She owns her lack of conviction in a way of life, her selfishness to want to live how she wants to. There is no greater purpose for other than to make something beautiful of her hazardous quirk and reckless art. She'll wake the dead with her music and add to its numbers with the eruption of corporate, sanitized hero society. Aside from her flimsy anarchist tendencies, she really likes to party and doesn't mind the party favors. Vanessa is the definition of "don't wanna talk, I just want to dance" when it comes to partying. When she does want to talk, she LOVES hearing herself do it. She likes to keep a fit body as crimes take athleticism. Seeing the world has always been a part of her being and she isn't quiet about what she enjoys. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]APPEARANCE » HEIGHT: 5'11" » WEIGHT: 160 lbs. » EYE COLOR: Blue/Gray » HAIR COLOR: Cherry Red » SKIN COLOR: Light Tan » FACE CLAIM NAME: Vi » FACE CLAIM SERIES: League of Legends Vanessa has what she likes to call "punk style" which involves ironically dressing like she has some formality and in colorful clothing. Most of it is stolen or second-hand, but she gives off the appearance of being put together. With winged hair that seems permanently cherry-red as a by-product of her quirk, she has been given the nickname of "Cherrybomb" for the overall appeal she has. Her fashion overall has some genderfluid approach. Is it because of her tastes or being broke? Who knows? Otherwise, Vanessa has a rather built body. Her hands are rough and calloused from musical instruments and various spots along her skin from accidents relating to her quirk. She is tattooed with machinery-like symbols that show how she's broken away from being another cog. There is a variety of piercings she wears on her ears and face, which she thankfully keeps religiously clean to avoid infection. If she's without her piercings, she's practically dead. While she isn't truly classical by any means, she finds a way to dress to a higher standard. Vanessa might be a rebel, but she was still privileged and would find a way to make patches as fashionable as possible. Her lips are peachy, her preferred color being red like her hair and she tries to keep her makeup as subtle as possible. Despite the dichotomy of her personality and fashion, she doesn't hide her scars and wears them like a badge of honor. Most of them are self-inflicted, but scars are still cool-looking. [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]HISTORY When you hate the AM, when you hate the PM; there's nothing you can do but rock. At least, that's what burnout Vanessa Star thought when she graduated into broken adulthood. She knew early on she'd never be accepted because she wanted to let her quirk run free and express herself artistically in the truest sense. Good grades? University? Who needs 'em!? Vanessa was born a Star and would continue to be one until the day she died. Vanessa was born and raised in England to a well-off but frugal family. They were so up-tight and protective that they ended up being fuel to her anarchist fire. What made her this way was a friend from an early age that she used to take piano lessons with introduced her to punk rock. This friend, Helena, would begin rattling off all the thoughts she had about society between the supposed good of heroes to the misunderstood bad of villains and how suffocating it was. Well, a Hero's collateral damage killed that friend and it didn't break Vanessa, but it filled her with the only bit of true determination. An oath was sworn in the name of Helena: don't follow the silly rules of society and burn what you want to burn. Protect what you want to protect. Do it because you care, not because you're supposed to care. Lastly, don't succumb to the brainwashing of Universities and laws. Vanessa stewed on this until she neared adulthood, becoming loud as ever and rebellious. A burnout was born. Her parents knew how she felt, so when they no longer were responsible for her...she was given three measly months to figure out if that was her final choice. She gave it three days of thought before hijacking a guitar from the closest music store and taking what she wanted. There was no nobility in her rise to fame as a musician, so of course there was no structure or security in it either. A mid-level musician who didn't want to adhere to the industry wasn't going to make it far or make much money. Either way, the band she slapped together through a bundle of miscreants would last two years before they tried to rob her. Robbing someone who had a knack for making things explode wasn't a good idea, none of them were very skilled and she let their last gig end with a bang. From there, she had no one. All she could do was become a petty criminal and scrape by. Clearly, this wasn't going to work. She aspired to be her own person, but she needed a fresh start. Of course, she was laughed out of the Firms she tried joining. On the last, they wouldn't just laugh at her...they'd bundle her up and ship her to Japan. With no paperwork, no wealth, she had to manage being an outsider in the land of the Yakuza and the richest concentration of great heroes, villains and vigilantes all aspiring to be their own form of Plus Ultra. Petty crimes were quiet, but it left Vanessa hungry for more. It left Vanessa hungry for being Starpower. The problem would remain that she had no discipline, no purpose other than a vague need to be great. If she was going to be someone to be rememembered, she needed to be more than an untamed animal. She needed to grow up.

Limit Breakers: 3 Available | 0/45 Used [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]EQUIPMENT EQUIPMENT NAME: EQUIPMENT RANK: EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURER:EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION: [attr="class","body"] [attr="class","header2"]QUIRK QUIRK NAME: Rockstar QUIRK RANK: C+ QUIRK TYPE: Emitter QUIRK DESCRIPTION: Vanessa possesses the power to imbue the sound of music into any object she touches. It begins with a quiet melody, but the louder it grows the more volatile it becomes. This is indicated by a tone shift into more colors from anywhere on the spectrum. It can, either by choice or by it exceeding Vanessa's control, elevate to a point where the energy used to bring music to the object imbued becomes so volatile that it explodes. This will either cause the object itself to erupt or if the energy is not strong enough, creates a shockwave expelling from what it was imbuing. If multiple objects are imbued by the Rockstar energy, they can either resonate to stabilize each other or make each other more volatile to either slow or speed up the escalation of the music and eventual explosion. Vanessa's appearance changes in color according to the colors expressed through Rockstar as if there was a sort of filter on her. QUIRK DRAWBACKS: -The larger the target object is, the slower it is for the energy to build up and less likely it is to cause damage until it eventually becomes ineffective from being too diluted. -The more resistant the vessel of Rockstar is or the more diluted the energy is, the weaker the explosion. The most power comes from more fragile, smaller objects. -The more fragile something is, the less time it can withstand Rockstar before exploding. -Overuse of this quirk causes Vanessa's senses to be hypersensitive, making it easy to disorient or overstimulate her. -People cannot be bombs!
