Competition: A Super Symbol

Finished
A Super Symbol

‘It’s a convor! It’s an X-wing! No, it's Super Ryn!’

We’ve all dreamed of superpowered heroes and villains at one point in our lives. Part of the attraction to a Star Wars club is the Force powers. So what if your character was a superhero or a villain? What powers would they have? What would their heroic outfit look like? What sort of Coruscant bad guys do they excel in stopping? And vice versa for supervillains.

Draw an image depicting a scene of your character as a super humanoid on the streets of Coruscant. Include their outfit and superpower in action. This does not need to be a battle scene, subtle demonstrations of power are accepted as well. All superhero powers you can commonly see in DC, Marvel, etc. comics are allowed, but the setting is still Star Wars.

Your alts are acceptable to submit for too. If you submit an image for both Alt and Main character, you will still be placed only once.

How to submit:

Submit through the site as .png or .jpg. Also, feel free to include a description of your superhero/villain name, power, etc in the subscription box, though this is not a requirement.

Grading:

The Herald Graphics Grading Rubric will be used.

Useful tools:

  • Pencil and paper
  • Colored pencils, watercolors
  • GIMP graphics program

Alias: Blood (or tries for that)

Real Name: Satsugai "Satsi" Tameike

Species: Human

Age: 38

Abilities: Combat training; weapons training (specializes: blades, pistols); covert operations; gang warefare tactics and underworld management

Powers:

* "Hemokinesis" - Blood manipulation; can control flow, form, temperature, acidity, and function of blood at will (boiling/steaming, freezing/slowing, reshaping, forming into objects in various states, extraction from body or absorption into body, etc). The more complex the action, the more focus needed.
* Derivative of the above, "Healing" - can mend her own wounds with proper manipulation of clotting and healing factors. Very difficult, imprecise; requires total concentration and does not guarantee functionality, merely closure.
* Derivative of the above, "Flight" - makes wing-like organs out of her own or another's blood, uses them to fly for short periods using landscape as an assist.
* Derivative of the above, "Creation" - makes her own armor and weapons from her blood or another's, covering herself in a superficial but hard but elastic layer of mixed iron and carbon; forms blood into various crude or precise weaponry of simple design (eg knives, staves, bats, swords; not machinery such as pistols, bows, etc)
* "Extrasensory" - Not unlike the typical Telepathic and Sense abilities of a Force-user, perhaps derivative of them; allows for reception of passive thoughts, emotions, sensations, auras, etc. Cannot be controlled, only ignored or focused on.

Weaknesses: Extra senses cause additional confusion and vulnerable psychiatric condition. Powers tend to cause damage to her own body, constantly tearing it and mending it; extremely exhaustive, highly prone to infection. Possibly accelerated aging or cell degradation.
