As a result her fashion choices are unpredictable.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Personality and History</span></strong></span></div><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Personality</span></strong> </div>Kori like the vast majority of Tamaran's is outgoing, honest and uninhibited but because of her lack of understanding of human culture and social norms she might be considered more than a little naive. Her instinct is to trust people, which certain people mistake for her being both dumb and an easy mark which is a huge mistake as one of the few things she really detests are those that prey on other people. Because Tamaran's are known for wearing their hearts on their sleeves she doesn't hold back in showing those people how annoyed they make her.<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Biography</span></strong></div>Princess Koriand'r of Tamaran was second in line of succession and because of her status was sent to train with the Warlords of Okaara along with her older sister Komand'r where both of them were excellent students. But it was during their time off world that her home world was invaded by the Citadel, who's forces were set to decimate the planet when King Myand'r surrendered but the terms of that surrender included that both Koriand'r and Komand'r be kept hostage by the Citadel. The terms of the surender were that both sisters wouldn't be harmed but the Citadel didn't keep their word, for years the pair were kept enslaved as little more than pets to the Citadel leaders before being handed over to Psion scientists who wanted to study Tamaran physiology and their natural ability to absorb vast amounts of UV radiation.<br/><br/>The Psion's experiments were harsh and cruel, making Koriand'r's time as Citadel slave a happy memory in comparison. The scientists exposed the sisters and other Tamaran captives to greater levels of UV radiation, in some cases the exposure was so great the test subjects exploded. However something was different with the sisters and they were able to survive were others could not, the theory was that is was linked to their royal heritage. The scientist had started betting about the level of UV exposure needed to cause the sisters to explode and so kept increasing the levels, but instead of exploding the sisters developed the ability to project the UV energy in the form of starbolts. The initial starbolts were unfocused and extremely destructive, destroying the laboratory and the scientists in the process. The sisters escaped the facility but went their separate ways Komand'r wanted to return home and free her plant, Koriand'r wanted to run and not be used as some sort bargaining chip.<br/><br/>Kori spent the next few years moving from planet to planet, blending in and hiding from the bounty hunters the Psion's sent after her. Unfortunately one night she was captured after spending some time with someone she thought was a friend. Fortunately for Kori the bounty hunter's containment cell was sub-standard and she was able to free herself. However the breakout damaged the ship's hyperdrive and the pilot was forced to make an emergency landing on a small blue green planet. The bounty hunter didn't survive the crash landing and Kori thought she would be safe for a while at least hiding on a tropical island on a backwater world.<br/><br/>Kori's quiet life was interrupted by some rather unexpected visitors. The first were people smugglers who were using Kori's island as a delivery point, this annoyed Kori a lot, firstly these people were disturbing her peace and secondly the people were kidnappers. So Kori decided to visit her fury on both the buyers and sellers. There would have been several charred people smugglers had it not been for the timely intervention of a member of the Green Lantern Corps who was investigating the people traffickers as they were connected to an alien tech smuggling ring. The Lantern arrested the smugglers and gave Kori some surprising news, Tamaran had risen up and overthrown the Citadel her sister now sat on the throne. Kori was free to go home, but she was ashamed to not helping her people so instead decided to come out of hiding and learn more about her adopted home. Kori moved to Key West where she has been trying to fit in and learn more about Earth customs, this included strange things like 'finding a job' and 'finding a place to live' both of which her new friend Stella has helped her with.<br/><br/>Shortly after arriving in Key West, Kori was approached by someone calling himself Jon Jones who claimed to be a Martian but looked human. Jon asked Kori if she wanted to join a group of people who like Kori had powers and wanted to help other people. Kori's uncertainties about Earth and fitting in led her to turn down Jon's offer but as he was leaving Jon left Kori a note with instructions on how to contact him if she ever changed her mind. Kori thought nothing of it until she saw reports of what happened to the strange man called the Flash, Kori was torn about what to do but her friends persuaded her that she had the ability to make a difference and so she should. With that thought in mind, Kori found Jon's note dialled the phone number and as instructed asked about a delivery of 'Orange Oreos'. Two days Jon returned to Key West and revealed to Kori that he was actually the Martian Manhunter and that the League were happy that she had changed her mind.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Superpowers &amp; Equipment</span></strong></span><br/></div><strong>Power Name:</strong><br/>Super Strength - Under normal circumstances Kori is capable of lifting several tons but her strength is also linked to her emotional state and the angrier she becomes the stronger she gets.<br/><br/>Invulnerability - Kori is highly resistant to physical damage, human conventional weaponry is more of an annoyance than a danger.<br/><br/>Energy Projection - Kori can project energy either in the form of explosive blasts or just through touch. The energy is hot enough to melt most metals instantly.<br/><br/>Flight - Kori can fly at roughly twice the speed of sound on Earth. Kori's flight is her energy projection abilities effecting gravity, so in low gravity environments her flight is more limited.<br/><br/>Self-Sustenance - Kori doesn't need to eat or sleep but instead draws sustenance from UV light. A prolonged lack of UV would adversely effect her powers.<br/><br/>Omni-Lingual - Kori is able to learn any language by physical contact. The exact form of contact is entirely up to Kori. Although she can understand any language she can't always communicate in it, she recently learned dolphin but lacks the correct vocal chords to speak it properly.<br/><br/>Pilot - Kori has learnt how to pilot many different types of alien spacecraft but human aircraft are a little puzzling at times.<br/><br/>Weapons training - Kori was taught how to use many different types of close combat weapons and what, on Earth, would be considered exotic firearms but she prefers not to use them as they are reminders of her captivity.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong><strong>Weaknesses</strong></strong></span></span><br/></div>Kori is allergic to metallic chromium, small amounts of if will make her sneeze a small starbolt. The greater the concentration the bigger the sneeze.<br/>Kori is still adapting to human customs so can easily misunderstand or misread situations, which an unscrupulous person might take advantage of.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;"><span class="bbc_u"><strong>Other</strong></span></span><br/>Just imagine orange skin and hair<br/>(http://www.hawtcelebs.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/SARA-JEAN-UNDERWOOD-at-Esquires-Me-in-My-Place-Photoshoot-6.jpg)(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-wOj9kNsvYCQ/VQiuwf8huQI/AAAAAAAABVo/aeJhUyrJI1c/s1600/6.jpg)<br/></div><br/>
