Origins:
Hoshi was born Katsu
Akihito, the daughter of a Izo
Akihito, a Japanese assassin
working within a league of
assassins, and his wife Satomi.
Katsu  was 3 when wife Satomi
found out what Izo did for a living.
She secreted Katsu  away and
settled into a small remote village
where she successfully escaped
Izo’s influence for a time. Four
years later, Izo, in ninja assassin
garb to hide his identity, located
the pair and assassinated Satomi,
although she surprised him with
her efforts to put up a defense.
She had gotten some training in
the village. Katsu  entered the
room just as Izo finished
strangling his wife.  Katsu  did not
recognize her father, but did
notice the torn clothing on his
back revealing the distinct head
of a fiery dragon before he
disappeared into the night. Izo
appeared in the village the next
day as her father and whisked her
back to Yokohama. Darkened by
the death of her mother, Izo
thought Katsu  displayed potential
for following his footsteps as a
lethal assassin and began training
her in martial arts, ninja and
samurai skills, and both
conventional and obscure
weaponry. She was like a sponge,
mastering discipline after
discipline as Izo took his
assassination league to a multi-
million dollar enterprise. One day
when he felt she was ready, Izo
informed Katsu  that he had
located her mother’s killer and,
working with one of his best
teams, sent her on her first
mission to assassinate the target,
who was actually the financier of a
rival assassin group. The financier’
s handsome son, Mitsuaki, walked
in during the mission but Katsu
was was convinced he was not
affiliated with the deeds of his
father. Katsu  was also very
attracted to him and opted not to
kill him. The mission was
successful and Katsu  felt her
vengeance was satisfied, but she
also found the adrenalin pump of
assassination intoxicating. At her
father’s behest, she willingly
completed hundreds of missions
more, becoming the top assassin
in her father’s organization. Soon
Katsu  met Mitsuaki again and fell
in love with him, but she could
dare not let him know her secrets.
Izo objected to the romance but
Katsu  defied him. Enraged Izo
sent his premiere hit squad to
have Mitsuaki taken out and this
occurred during the event that
would later become known as
"The Neogen Flux." Katsu  learned
of the mission and intervened in
order to protect her lover, but he
had already been informed that
she had killed his father. Mitsuaki
rejected her as assassins poured
into the building. Katsu  was able
to dispatch many of them but not
before they murdered Mitsuaki,
who dies in her arms forgiving
her. Katsu  returned and
confronted her father where he
provoked a fight by backhanding
her. The two fought madly until
Katsu  ripped Izo’s clothing from
his back revealing the fiery
dragon head she remembered
during her mother's murder,
pinpointing her father as her
mother’s killer. Psychologically
overwhelmed with the prospect of
the lie of a life she has lived, she
was thrown off-kilter and faltered
under Izo’s onslaught. Soon she
was at his mercy and just as he
was about to deliver a killing blow,
her intense emotions of hatred
and anger welled up inside of her,
manifesting into  an expulsion of
stellar energy that knocked him
clear across the room. Regaining
her cold composure, she was
unable to duplicate the blast but
still managed to defeat Izo
completely. Just as she was about
to deliver a killing blow, his
assassin squad broke into the
room. She held them off b y
managing to fire off a few more
stellar blasts and escaped. She
vowed to end her father’s evil but
became aware of the UN efforts to
examine
"The Neogen Flux"
phenomenon. With nothing else
left in her life she assembled a
new identity as Miya  Kobi and  
headed for New York. Once her
ability to manipulate stellar
energies was identified, she was
given the code name Hoshi which
means “star” in Japanese.
 
Powers:
 Katsu's body absorbs
ambient stellar energy from,
primarily, the sun, due to its
proximity to Earth. This energy can
give her enhanced strength and
durability, flight, and the ability to
fire stellar energy blasts in the
form of high-energy pulse
projectiles resembling small stars.

Class 1-A Baseline Human Range.
Level 3.
Can press 200 Lbs.
Strength Level Power-Assisted:
Class 2-B. Extrahuman Range.
Level 10.

Fighting Prowess: Taught from
age 7 in the disciplines of ninjas,
samurais, conventional and
unconventional weaponry, Katsu
is a deadly opponent even without
megahuman powers. She has
been regarded as one of the most
formidable assassins in the world.
Gear:
Standard Nanotech Armored
Protection Gear (SNAP-Gear),
lightweight uniforming system
equipped with onboard computer
array, variable feed power
sources, life-support, networking
and armored protection. A voice-
activated onboard computer ties
into tactical local and wide-area
networks using a “heads-up”
holographic transparent 17-inch
display panel while it monitors its
wearer’s physiology. A shield
mode provides operatives head-
to-toe protection.   
Adairian Adaptive memory
molecules enable SNAP-GEAR
uniforms to adapt to a host’s
application of wide arrays of
energies. SNAP-Gear is able to
transform into a small inventory of
various non-combat outfits pre-
loaded by its user.  
ANGEL Com (Communications
Device), a neural transceiver
implant that responds to basic
cybernetic commands. The device
utilizes ultra- sophisticated
cerebellinguistic algorithm codes
to translate human languages.
Once set, the device automatically
translates and feeds languages or
dialects in one’s native tongue
directly into the ear with an
average translatability percentage
ratio of 94.6% for all known
language patterns.
