[Stargaizer]

Name: Joe Smith

Nova Name: Zhu

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Concept: Avatar Spin-off

Height: 5'11"

Weight: 170

Hair: Black

Eyes: Green

Nature: Paragon

Background:

Joe was born to two fairly insignificant novas. His Chinese mother could create and control light, and his American father could create and control darkness/shadow. Early on he took a strong interest in his mother's Chinese heritage and quickly rose through the ranks at his local martial arts academy. His more overt powers manifested during high school, but his parents convinced him to keep them under wraps until he graduated.

After high school Joe joined Project Utopia, honed his skills, saved his money and took a few college level classes.

Once he felt his skill level was high enough, and his bank account was fat enough, he went out into the middle of the Atlantic and literally created his own island. The island was big enough for him to build his own private Martial Arts Academy as well as a small accompanying town (bar, hospital, dock, grocery store, etc.)

After he built his island, he took the nova name Zhu (master in Chinese) and went on a world tour, advertising 'you can be taught martial arts by a nova master!' Needless to say, there was a large response, and he now has a waiting list a couple of years long.

During his touring, he happened to come across four special students. They were special for two reasons: first, each could create/control one of the four elements, and

second, each wanted to learn. These four students became Zhu's best, most loyal and most trusted students. In fact, now they actually are in charge of all of the day to day activities and the non-delegated teaching duties.

Status:

Zhu has no official standing in any organization except Project Utopia, where he is a former member.

Powers:

Zhu can create and control all four of the historic elements: earth, air, fire and water. He is also superhumanly strong, dexterous, tough and perceptive. Plus, when he wants, he is able to inflict slashing/cutting damage with his bare hands (as opposed to simply bruising people).

Personality:

Joe Smith is a fairly strong-minded individual. He knows what he wants and he goes after it. Zhu is very similar, except that he's used to having people follow him on his way to getting what he wants to get or doing what he wants to do.
