Origin and Background: The last thing Daniel had on his mind when he set out on his hiking trip was that he’d end up involved with aliens. When he say what he thought was a small plane crash into the mountain lake, his first instinct was to save the pilot from drowning. He immediately jumped in the water, and swam toward the now floundering pilot. Much to his surprise, he found a green hued humanoid rapidly sinking to the bottom. Daniel pulled him to safety on the shore.
Once revived, the alien explained that he was a law enforcement officer, a member of a select group of beings chosen to protect their home planet from all nature of threats. Each being was granted special powers by his agency’s governing council. He’d been in pursuit of band of slavers, and his ship had been severely damaged in the battle. But, he’d managed to get off a distress signal before he crashed and help was on the way.
Within hours a rescue ship arrived to claim the alien. The rescue ship’s crew thanked Daniel for his assistance, but, before leaving, his new acquaintance made him an offer. He explained Daniel was the type of being they were looking for, someone willing to risk his own life to save that of a complete stranger, and asked if Daniel thought he was up to the challenge of becoming Earth’s new cosmic champion. Without even thinking about it Daniel said yes. After a short journey to their operations base, a small moon several light years from Earth, Daniel was subjected to a number of medical and psychic probes to test his worthiness, and he passed with flying colors. His alien benefactor had chosen well.
As promised, Daniel was placed into an “incubation chamber”, that would “allow him access to untapped abilities within his own mind”. We he emerged, it was no longer as Daniel, it was as Starbird.
Personality/Character Traits: Always willing to help, Daniel is good natured and well liked by his friends. He's the first to offer a kind word, and to see the upside of any situation.
Combat Tactics/M.O.: In combat, Daniel will attempt o snipe at opponents from high above the battlefield using his flight powers to stay out of the fray. He’ll usually try to engage more powerful opponents first. Using either his Power Blast, or creating large numbers of solid energy holograms to keep them occupied.
*NOTES*
Okay, let me give credit where credit is due. The concept for Starbird is "borrowed" (read I stole the idea) and tinkered with it, while the artwork was done by the very talented "Professor Spork" of
