Doll Maker's Diary, Part 15: STAR Power

Doll Maker's Diary, Part 15: STAR Power

Alongside CRASH Chronicles, I also created another project with the help of a Doll Maker game, in this case the Heroine Fan Art Creator. This latest one is called STAR Power, but it differs from my previous project in that it depicts ordinary people doing ordinary things... well, most of the time. STAR is an acronym for "Special Team Adventure Recon", and fittingly, its members embark on dangerous, yet exciting missions to far-flung parts of the globe. Currently, it consists of four members: Tiffany Ward, Katie Parker, Jessica Burton and Michelle Hawkins, whose favorite colors are purple, blue, red and yellow, respectively.

Originally, STAR Power was intended to be in a separate fictional universe from CRASH Chronicles. However, I recently did a U-turn on this policy and decided to have both series use the same continuity. To that end, I chose to depict the STAR Power characters in the X-Girl Creator, which I had used for making the characters from CRASH Chronicles. They, conversely, will also be depicted in the Heroine Fan Art Creator. As a result, crossovers involving both teams will not only be more likely, but also more viable as well.

Now for the members themselves: Tiffany Ward is not only the team leader, but also the most senior member of the whole team, and generally applies reason and logic to her actions. In addition, she often tends to be more stoic than her teammates. Contrast this with the youngest team member, Jessica Burton, who is far more hot-blooded and emotional than the rest of the cast. In between these two extremes is Katie Parker, who strikes a balance between emotion and reason. As for Michelle, she's an idealist who can devise plans on the fly just as easily as her partners. Further information about them can be found on other posts about STAR Power in this blog.

Given that the "A" in STAR stands for adventure, it should come as no surprise that all four STAR agents are expected to be in peak physical and mental condition as often as possible. In addition, they are equally proficient in combat and puzzle-solving. However, they prefer to negotiate peaceful solutions to conflict whenever possible. Finally, they rarely request outside assistance unless they absolutely have to, and when they do, it will most often be in the form of a CRASH Team.

This concludes my brief rundown of STAR Power, my latest attempt at a story involving characters made using the Heroine Fan Art Creator. Further posts about it are forthcoming - so stay tuned!
