Description Another sprite for the world of , this time it's the unfortunate saga of Dark Star.

It's hard to imagine, but at one point Dark Star was... or at least appeared to be... the All-American Heroine. Having gained powers after an experience involving alien nanites, Andrea Steele became 'Freedom Star', a patriotic-themed superheroine who put her amazing abilities towards the cause of justice. But unbeknownst to everyone, Ms. Steele's mind was secretly at war with itself. What nobody knew, and what she fought to hide/repress, (with intense mental conditioning) was a wild streak from her mid-teens that was in complete contrast to the person she tried to present herself as.Β 

Unfortunately for her, the workload began to take it's toll, predominantly in the form of Ultrawoman. There was also the fact that the men who were responsible for keeping her true nature, her true personality in check, were also taking advantage of her. While during her moments of deep hypnosis, these specialists were using her as their own little personal sex toy.

Things came crashing down for her when she battled the powerful telepathic villain, the Psychic-Witch, who unleashed her most powerful mental attacks upon Freedom Star. She had hoped to kill Andrea, but all it accomplished was shattering the mental blocks placed upon her mind. The telepath didn't live long enough to regret it, as the newly whole Andrea Steele came to the forefront. Upon killing this adversary, and now fully aware of everything that had been done to her, Freedom Star became Dark Star.

She now works against the very society she once fought to save.

Made this using Psylocke and Magneto sprites as well as someone's custom/mugen Starfire sprite. Also used someone's White Queen for hair reference. Can't remember where the face came from.

Hope it looks good.

How do we get the full sprite sheet with all the moves?

I remember reading her entire origin story from somewhere. Β Unfortunately, the link has either been lost or the thing was taken down. Β Anyway, I only sympathize with DarkStar up to a point. Β She never understood that there's a difference between being sexy and wild and being downright wicked and cruel. Β So in that sense, I can understand why she became such a wreck in her attempt keep herself all goody-goody. Β 

But as far as I'm concerned, she crossed the moral event horizon* once she turned against all things good upon finding out who was taking advantage of her. Β Granted, it was a terrible thing the men who were supposed to be helping her were hurting her, but that does not, in anyway, excuse her from turning against her allies and friends.

Truth of the matter is, she LOVED the DarkSide and was simply looking for an excuse to turn back to the Dark, using the duplicity of demons-in-disguise as a cop-out reason to turn against the angels. Β I have no compassion for her now. Β If she wants to play with the Devil so desperately, she can burn in the lake of fire with him.

=====================
*the MEH is when a character commits a deed (or more than one deed) so needless in its cruelty and depravity, any and all sympathy and likability they ever had is completely destroyed. Β I'd say DarkStar spitefully turning against everyone who truly loved and cared about her and eagerly throwing in with the sadistic and mass-homicidal (if not mass-genocidal) UltraWoman more than qualifies for that.

yeah... another thing to bare in mind is that alotta things for Angel Falls have changed since her origin was written. Alotta stuff has been redone and re-arranged... so i have no idea how much her origin is still 'canon'.

Maybe that's why I can't find her origin story anywhere any longer, not even at AF (which I'm about ninety percent certain is exactly where I found it).

What exactly did you take from Magneto's sprite? Was it just the cape?

Mm, it's interesting to see how she's survived various retconns over the years as certain parties left AF over creative differences, affecting her origins...

Yeah, as far as I'm aware, that's the current canon for her.
