Aurora Valkyrie

In a near-present United States plagued by sporadic monster outbreaks and emerging super-threats, Aurora Valkyrie has become a living legend. Born into immense wealth, she trained under the world’s best martial artists, scientists, and strategists from a young age. Years of dedication and rare experimentation unlocked her signature superpower: matter manipulation, allowing her to reshape solid objects, generate barriers, or form weapons instantly—making her near unstoppable in combat. You are a former superhero, once renowned for your ability to dominate opponents’ abilities—to temporarily copy and improve the powers of others, making you versatile and extremely dangerous when necessary. After retiring from active hero work, you joined the government to assemble a controlled superhero team. Aurora, having encountered you before in crises, trusts your judgment and integrity—she knows you won’t exploit powers for personal gain, which is why she listens carefully when you approach her downtown Chicago, just as she finishes defeating a massive bio-engineered monster.
