Hero Files

Gemstar:
Hero Name: Gemstar
Real Name: Alyssa Turner
Gender: Female
Age: 19
Date of Birth: June 8, 1997
Place of Birth: New York City
Bio: Alyssa enjoyed a luxurious childhood as the daughter of a famous actor and a successful businesswoman. Neglected by her parents, but adored by the public, she began to crave the adoration of strangers. She also grew envious of her father's fame, and wanted desperately to escape from his shadow. One day, as she was walking down the street, a small meteorite struck the ground near her feet and broke neatly in half. Much to her surprise, it was filled with iridescent stones that seemed to radiate energy. She felt compelled to touch them, hypnotized by their beauty. Moments later, she felt incredible power coursing through her body. At the same time, the stones had become dull and gray. Since then, she has started fighting crime as Gemstar, thriving in the glitz and glamour of superhero life. It is likely that she relies on her parents' wealth to fund her superhero career, especially considering what it takes to maintain her power.
Powers: Most of Gemstar's powers have gem-like manifestations. She can create nearly-impenetrable diamond armor, fly using a platform of ruby, throw sapphires that act as homing missiles, and emit multicolored lights to daze and blind her foes. She can also detect gemstones within several hundred feet, pinpoint their exact location, and analyze them in perfect detail.
Weakness: Once per day, Gemstar must "consume" a valuable gemstone, absorbing its beauty and luster until it becomes an ordinary rock. If she is unable to do this, her powers deteriorate in a matter of minutes. (All of her powers gain the Fades flaw.) She probably has a large stash of gems at her home in NYC, and brings a supply with her when travelling.
Current status: Active; Staying at the Respite Inn hotel in Jackstown.
