"I know what it's like to try to chase your dreams, only to watch them slowly die away. You work hard. You do everything by the book. You play by the rules. And then someone that could make your dreams come true comes along and decides to take your dreams and turn them into nightmares. People like that need to be brought to justice. They need to be given reminders that they are not above the rest of us." - Starlett

Starlett is a former stunt-woman and wannabe actress initially looking for her place in the world, only to find it as a vigilante.

History

Starlett-pose.jpg

Dee Lawrence grew up in small towns and broken homes. But despite all she endured from her extended family and friends, she always believed that there was something better waiting for her.

So when the opportunity first presented itself, she ran away. She hung around anyone that would give her a ride to where she wanted to go, did whatever she needed to do to make money (within some boundaries), and challenged herself in some extreme competition.

Finally she made it to Hollywood, where she encountered the one thing that Hollywood is best known for most newcomers: disappointment.

She applied herself as a stunt double under the name “Dee Risk”, which got her some minor jobs in straight-to-video productions and her SAG card, but nothing more.

Then she was invited to a special “party” by the owner of X-Ample Studios, one of the film companies she did her straight-to-video work for. She was told it would be a party that would supposedly make her career. It turned out, however, to be a “roof-party”. The young women, all wannabe actresses, would show up early, be drugged, then be used by the producer’s “guests” for their personal entertainment.

Dee, however, thought something was fishy and said no to the drugged drinks. When she realized what was going on, she quickly fled from the area.

She tried to report the incident to the police, but the producer was too influential to be taken down simply by her eyewitness testimony. So she took the law into her own hands.

A quick visit to the studio’s weapons shop, some lingerie, a white duster jacket, and a mask completed her transformation into a vigilante.

Returning to the producer’s “party house”, she finds the videos of the previous parties. After giving the producer a few “memorable wounds” with her electro-sword, she turns the videos over to famed celebrity Champion Sapphire, who was on tour promoting her latest album.

As a celebrity superhero, Sapphire was able to bring a public face to the crime and pressure the justice system to take action.

Appearing as simply an "anonymous starlet", Dee gave her testimony that helped put the producer away for thirty years and have him registered as a predatory offender should he ever be allowed out.

But even though she was known as an "anonymous starlet", Hollywood "good old boy" society still managed to black-list her from all future projects.

Touched by Dee’s determination for justice, Sapphire invited Dee to follow her back to Millennium City, where she could find her true calling as a hero and help bring justice to those that need it.

Skills

Starlett was not formally trained when she was in Hollywood. Most of her physical abilities came from extreme sport activities.

Her use of an electro-sword came mostly from a course she took at the Bobby Void School of Stunt Weapons. While far from being formalized training, it is enough for her to be quite dangerous with it and leave considerable "mementos" on her victims.

Attire

Starlett's outfit is custom-made and designed primarily for distraction, giving her time to reach for her collapsible tech-sword. The white duster allows her to wear the jet pack and gives her modest protection while she is in flight.

Initially her outfit consisted of black lingerie, but after a confrontation with Mister Blue, which left some temporary scars on her midsection, Starlett was given a new black-and-white outfit which still offers a distraction but also provides slightly more modesty.

(Note: Outfit is not reflective of her personal habits.)

Personality

Dee is very friendly and outgoing. Every so often she works as the DJ in Club Caprice under the name "DJ Risqué" and does some occasional odd jobs as a temp to make money. She also makes it a point to dress somewhat conservatively so people don't get the wrong impression about her.

As Starlett, she is playful but lethal. She comes off as a temptress, but will attack with a vengeance when given the opportunity.
