CEO and founder of Starrware Labs. And maaaaybe that Power Girl superhero person on the sly.
Reputation
As Karen Starr, she is known as being willing to listen to the craziest scientific proposals in her startup company, Starrware Labs - a lab that specializes in novel solutions to problems that plague humanity as a whole.
Power Girl herself is a superhero that isn't quite known - she seems to have powers related to Superman and his ilk - but no one really knows too much about her beyond her distinctive appearance.
Biography
-Born upon Krypton - or perhaps an alternate form of Krypton(!) and sent out on an escape pod before the planet exploded.
-Travelling through space for a good long time, she crash landed on Earth as a teenager, and was intercepted by the government.
-Deciding that integration might be better for someone so powerful, and with Karen being willing to play nice, Karen accepted the government oversight that came with her first years upon Earth.
-Going to college, she took the name 'Power Girl' as she did superhero on the side of studying for her degree.
-After graduating, Karen was driven to help the people of her new home - hence why she gathered investors together and started the Starrware Labs project. Learning more about science and medicine and tech - especially if she chose projects that did give a benefit to humanity, even if they aren't really as profitable - would be her contribution to humanity.
-And she would never ever go back to superheroing. Ever. Promise. That Power Girl (she still hasn't changed her name since college?) must be someone else, right? (It isn't. She's totally still superheroing).

Character Details
Wherever Karen was from, she is here on Earth now. Whatever struggles she might have faced on other worlds - other realities - Karen is committed to helping this Earth, right here, right now, with whatever troubles it might have. Part of the reason she is so willing to do this is the sense of purpose that it gives her. Karen likes having a clear sense of purpose, likes having clear rights to stand up for and wrongs to punch in the nose. And she can be a little brash and bold when she doesn't have those parameters, fond of treating a grey question as a black or white one. Beyond that, Karen still has a wonderfully good heart, open and generous and kind - and will not tolerate evil, no matter what form or personal sacrifice she has to make to uphold justice and good.
Flight |
Karen can fly faster than the speed of sound whilst in the Earth's atmosphere - and can also propel herself through space. |
Business |
Karen has a degree in business management, which she has leveraged into helping with her startup company. While no Bruce Wayne, Karen has a sharp grasp of markets and the economy, and can generally make sound business decisions. (Generally - she still doesn't know why she hired that creepy guy down in accounting). |
Technology |
Karen's Starrware labs is a startup that relies on intelligent people doing crazy outlandish things with computers and the laws of nature that she only barely understands. So she has tried to take a crash course in the basics. As such, she has a basic grasp on the science that goes behind… well… science. |
Kryptonian |
As a Kryptonian, Karen feeds off of the yellow sun that Earth just so happens to have. Karen's body converts yellow sunlight into energy that fuels the rest of her abilities. However, that tends to mean that Karen's body will feed off other kinds of radiation as well, and while most have no effect, exposure to the radiation of things such as Kryponite and unusual forms of sunlight will have interesting effects on her physiology. |
Breath |
Karen is able to use her powerful lung muscles to expel air at near-hurricaine forces. And somehow, she is able to make that air freezing cold, natch. |
Senses |
Karen possesses an extremely sharp sense of hearing, smell, pressure sensation and sight. While able to keep what she is sensing at a steady level so as not to be overwhelmed with sensation, Karen can focus in on a particular object or scent, and pick up far more data about it, at greater distances than humans could dream of. |
Speed |
Karen can move and react fast. Very very fast. Like hundreds of miles per hour fast, in short controlled bursts. |
Strength |
The same force that gives her all of the other abilities also grants her a form of super strength. Karen can punch or lift with enormous strength. However, extremely heavy objects, like, say, a plane, would be difficult for her to hold up forever - she tires out just like any other person. |
Heat Vision |
By staring intently at something, and focusing in a certain way, Karen can emit focused beams of heat from her eyes. These can be as gentle as a sharp little snap of heat on someone, or up to flesh-searing heat if she so wishes. |
Starrware Labs |
Her brainchild, and her pride and joy. A lot of Karen is tied up in this little company, and she protects it zealously. In return, Starrware Labs employs a number of… eccentric minds, all performing various kinds of research into whatever tickles their fancy at the moment. A few successes over the years has led to her having a more or less steady income from the place, but it seems every other month it dips down towards unprofitability, before swinging back up to modest profitability. Again. Tony Stark she isn't.
But in addition to the income, she can also access those aforementioned brilliant minds for sciencey things. |
Radiation Powered |
This means that Peej responds to various kinds of radiation. For the most part, she responds really really well, (see: yellow sun), but occasionally, something comes along that plays havoc with her biological systems. Such as kryptonite. Kryptonite has a variety of effects, dependant on its color (the color is related to the type of radiation it is emitting), with the most common form, green - acting as a poison just by its very presence by poisoning the same special parts of her that allow her to absorb yellow sunlight. |
Magic |
Kryptonians all tend to have a particular weakness to magic, and Karen is no different. Magic is just… magic, and for whatever reason, it affects her more strongly than most creatures. |
Known Alien |
Although Karen is registered with the US government as a superhuman, and has obtained an US citizenship. This also means that a great deal of people in the government know that she is an alien, even if it isn't public knowledge. And that might give someone with that knowledge the excuse they need to move against her. |
Business Entanglements |
Karen is tied to Starrware Labs, and believes in her mission to use it to assist humanity as a whole - and while, for the most part, it is profitable, dry spells just might spell disaster for her personal finances, as well as her business proper. Not to mention it takes a lot of attention to effectively run a company, as well. |

She's… not bad. Kinda annoying, tries too hard to be cute (she should leave that to the professionals) and has NO CLUE about what really went on on Krypton. But she's not a /bad/ person. |
