Growing up in the middle of America, Lisa was a withdrwan, melancholy girl. Her parents were worried about her but didn't know what to do to help her. She graduated top of her class and got a degree to Cal Tech. She studied a variety of sciences but was drawn to the newly christianed Psionic Engineering. The reason she'd been such a sad girl was the burgeoning psionic powers she had been born with. It was never fun instinctively hearing the thoughts of other children. She felt horrible for invading their minds. She studied yoga and meditation to help curb her powers. Luckily, her powers were relatively minor. One afternoon, she happend upon one of the gamer geek conventions at her dorm. It had been a while, but occasionally she still instinctively "heard" the particularly passionate thoughts of her fellow students. One of the geeks, had a major crush on her and she picked up on it. Surprised that she had an admirer, she stopped and watched them play for a while. It was the first time she'd simply sat and watched them play and Lisa found it interesting. They didn't even seem to notice her watching. However, she was wrong on the last hunch, after a few minutes one of the boys asked her if she wanted to play. Lisa declined but asked if she could watch for now. They all said it was okay. By the time she had graduated, she was a full fledged member of the Nerds of the Round table. After graduation, Lisa went to work for UNTIL in the Psionics division as a researcher. Her superior, a powerful mentalist in his own right, recognized her abilities. He encouraged her to pursue them. While she never grew to heroic measures, she became quite skilled and could summon a variety of effects. Her ability to use both Telepathic and Telekinetic powers astounded her superior. When budgets tightened, she was let go. Her superior, knowing her temperment suggested she spend her last few days going over the schematics for a psionic powered battle suit. The suit was simply an enhancer for existing psionic abilities. She was intrigued and spent the next year developing a similar suit. Then she got a call from one of the Nerds. It happened that he had developed a battlesuit of his own. Taking this to be the cue for her next stage in life, Lisa created the Astralle persona and became a superheroine. Lisa wants to make a difference. Growing up and watching from the outside didn't ever diminish her feelings for the rest of the world. She felt she could contribute. She has taken it upon herself to design the team's communication system and provide them all with Psionic Shields. She also has used her Psy-Circuits (independantly created by herself, Force of Westguard, Dr. Destroyer, and the Empress) to increase the response of the various battle suits her team mates use. "I don't think so." Astralle's suit enhances her natural psionic powers. Without the uniform her abilities are half as effective (based on 10 pts not 20). She has a number of tactics, utilizing both Telekinisis, and Telepathy. Sonics tend to disrupt her crystaline based microcircuitry and causes her much more damage via feedback. Astralle is a bit difficult. Her conception is easy enough, but the Psionic Amplification is difficult to pull off. I'm not sure I like what I am using now. If you want to weaken her, drop the EC to 15 pts base. Or perhaps make the whole thing focused. To increase her effectiveness; give her more slots in the EC or make the base 25 or 30 pts. An attractive young woman, tall and well built. She has Black hair and green eyes. The Astralle battlesuit is silver with black trim at the tops of her gloves, boots, and neck. She has a black egyptian styled eye on her chest. She wears a black mask that seemingly lets no light to her eyes. Her hair is shoulder length.
