Sentinel Comics RPG Core Rulebook

When Megan heard about the Sentinels of Freedom
teaching students, she realized that being a hero
AND a rock star was her destiny. Also, “Rockstar”
was a good name. It was time to come clean to her
parents. They deserved to know that their daughter
was destined to rise to the heights of greatness.
She spent the afternoon talking to herself in her
mirror, practicing exactly how she was going to
tell them. She went downstairs, looking forward
to seeing their shocked faces. Bracing herself for
their reactions, she rapidly explained that she had
powers and wanted to go to the newly established
academy. They just nodded and started talking
about tuition… turns out, her little sister had spied
on her and snitched.
Capabilities and Motivations
Rockstar’s body is incredibly strong and durable,
thanks to the rocky covering that she generates
when subjected to physical stresses. When she is
about to be struck, or when she picks up something
heavy, rocks materialize to shield and reinforce
vital weak points and joints in a flexible crystalline
coating that both protects her and enhances her
strength. She has some control over this, allowing
her to shape and form the stone to a degree… but
she tends to just cover her fists with pointy bits and
hit things. For Rockstar, the simplest solution tends
to be the one that she goes with, especially if it puts
her front and center where she belongs. After all,
what is the point of being a hero if no one sees you
looking cool?
Personal Life
Rockstar’s philosophy for fighting and for music
is that her natural talent is enough. Practicing is
boring. She doesn’t need to learn more about
her powers — punching things really hard in their
faces works just fine! Oddly, despite a disdain for
practicing her powers or music, she devotes hours
to presentation. When her big break inevitably
comes, she will have her look, sound, and act down.
Finding the perfect clothing and glitter makeup for
the stage and practicing her victory poses in the
mirror is the difference between a flash in the pan
and the world’s next big thing. She’ll work for hours
on something to get it just right… then deny that
she ever needs to work at anything!
This attitude makes her one of the most
contentious members of Daybreak. Her constant
need for the limelight makes her likely to put
everyone at risk by rushing in to get the glory
of knocking the villain out, even if it leaves her
teammates in danger. Her impatience is also a
detriment in longer fights, since she looks for risky
shortcuts to victory. When cameras get involved, or
the news choppers show up, she’ll try to pose for
the perfect news clip or even give an interview in
the middle of the fight! The members of Daybreak
like her a lot — she genuinely is a lot of fun to be
around — but her drive to be in the spotlight can
really be a problem.
The flip side of the coin, and the reason why she
is a good friend and teammate, is that she is fiercely
loyal. She knows she can’t be the best if the people
around her aren’t also working at their peak. For
someone who doesn’t like to practice all that
much, she’s a startlingly good motivator, and has
good awareness of problem areas in other people.
However, she needs to work on her ability to point
out those flaws in the right way and the right time
and place. She also likes having friends around, so
she is the one who suggests social activities for
the team, pokes the more reluctant members into
coming along, and works hard to make sure that
everyone else is having a good time. Only time will
tell if anyone, including herself, can live up to her
high expectations.
