onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Lucy Jade Background</div><div class="spoiler_body">Alumni and teachers from the Arcadian Academy have been working with the Sentinels to set up a branch of the school in Emerald City, Arcadia West.  Arcadia West is trying something different, as not all of its students are metahumans, nor are all its classes strictly related to superheroism.  It is a top class prep school with the idea of giving the best and brightest next generation the tools to build a better world, powered or not.  The hero students have their own gym class for power training of course, and some electives are too specialized for non-metahumans.  The meta students do go off on their own adventures and rarely invite the ordinary students along.<br/><br/>It also has the meta students in an environment where they’re not automatically superior to “normal” ones.  “Normal” is a highly relative term, as there are a lot of talented and idiosyncratic students among them thanks to the testing standards and the ability to tough it out in a weird and sometimes dangerous school!<br/><br/>Lucy Jade is one such student, a gifted athlete and scholar, though not the most social of her class (or the least), she had her head in the clouds… or above it.  Astronomy and the related sciences were her passion, something she could go on and on about.  She did have a bit of a temper though, and a strong sense of justice.  If someone was being abused in front of her, she’d unleash a punch or kick to set things straight.  <br/><br/>She dressed in a modest, haphazard fashion, favoring university sweatshirts from several places she was thinking about attending.  <br/><br/>Lucy was, of course, a member (and later president) of the Astronomy Club along with Gloria, who she felt wasn’t really committed to the science of it… she was just looking for UFOs, it seemed.<br/><br/>Her life started taking twists and turns during the club trip to the Elysian Forest.  The students would hike up to the top of a hill with their telescopes to get views of the stars without city light pollution around.  After a long night of it, Lucy couldn’t sleep and got up to look just a little more.  There she found some very strange person with Gloria over his (her?) shoulder.  She punched the kidnapper immediately and knocked them down… then found herself on the ground after the person flashed her with a strange device.  The next thing she knows she’s being loaded onto a spaceship!<br/><br/>Things were jerky after that, they woke up in the presence of one “Star-Khan” according to Gloria (who was being called Solar Flare by said Khan).  They and several other women were fated to be his exotic concubines?  What was going on?  She didn’t have any power dampers on and once again smacked her tormentor a good one… and he seemed amused by it, and wanted to “break her in” with a new toy of his.  She was dragged to a spaceship in a room full of weird treasures and tossed into the bridge… where some tentacles emerged from the floor, like some sort of hentai video!  They forced their way into her and she found herself somewhere else again!  It was some sort of virtual reality training…. apparently to be a sex slave.  It went on and on, not a life as much as a series of scenarios, some repeating, some not.  She always found time to look up at the stars, to find out where she was or where Earth was.  Weirdly, the sky grew more and more complete as she looked more and more, as if the program was learning about astronomy from her expectations.  <br/><br/>Which it was.  The ship was made from both Lor and Grue technology, mixing hard tech with biotech… the computer was the latter and learned what it wanted from having Lucy interface with it… it wanted a pilot, one who knew the stars, and Lucy was it!<br/><br/>Her eyes snapped open… Only a few hours had passed in the real world.  She was barely able to walk from being tentacle-fucked like that, but walk she did, opening the door to where Solar Flare, a princess and a pirate awaited their fate.  She explained she could fly the ship out of here and they were glad to help out, but first, Zaburshia and Jalyers wanted to load up some things from the treasure vault they were in.  They had almost finished up when a servant came to check on things and sounded the alarm.  <br/><br/>Lucy was able to deploy the ship’s guns for Jalyers and blow open a hole in the orbiting palace/ship, letting them escape.  She found she was a natural pilot and that was heightened with her bond with the ship… thought she had to pilot it wile it “interfaced’ with its tentacles again.  Right in front of everyone!  <br/><br/>Now she’s a wanted fugitive with a spaceship linked to her mind and body teamed up with a hot-heated heroine, a pirate who is full of big ideas what to do with the ship and a princess who has ideas of her own… and feels she owes Lucy everything for her freedom.  What lays ahead for her as she tries to come to grips with what happened to her, get back to Earth and satisfy her sense of justice… she doesn’t like this Star-Khan at all!  <br/><br/>She’s known as and wanted as Jade, as Gloria was calling her by her last name in front of the Star-Khan.<br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Gloria, Codename
