Something that was requested was that I give some information about the characters, particularly Starboy and his classmates.
I won’t go into TOO MUCH detail surrounding them, but this will give you enough to know a little about their stories, powers and abilities.
I’ll try to do this once every couple of weeks! Today, we’ll start with the titular Starboy!
Biography
Name: Allen Alonzo
Alias: “The Spectacular Starboy”
Age: 16
Trait: “Atlas”
From a young age, Starboy dreamed of being a great hero. However, he was born with a rare medical condition called ITD, or Intermittent Trait Disorder. This disability effected Starboy’s ability to control his trait, shutting it off seemingly randomly, and at worst, activating it at inopportune moments.
Because of this, many kids his age stayed away from him, he didn’t grow up with many friends, and he was teased and bullied. None of this got him down however, and he continues to try his best to be a hero that inspire others, much like his favorite heroes has inspired him.
Because of his ITD, Starboy has trouble controlling his Trait. Many doctors told him that this would end his hero career before it even started, but Starboy was able to get into Justice Academy through a lottery system. It was a lucky turn of events that put Starboy in this prestigious hero academy, but because of it many students look down on him as someone that didn’t “earn” his spot.
Will Starboy prove them wrong? You’ll have to play the game to find out!
Trait
Atlas is a power-type trait, that enhances all of the physical strengths and attributes of the body to superhuman levels. The user becomes incredibly strong, fast, and durable.
It has an odd side effect of making the user glow brightly when in use, much like a star.
With enough skill and practice, the user can focus Atlas into specific parts of their body, granting an extra boost to that part at the cost of no strength anywhere else. For instance, focusing the power into the arms can increase the strength of a punch drastically.
There are a few downsides to this power. First, the user durability increase from this trait is strong enough to protect them from enemy attacks, but because the user is so strong, their own attacks take a toll on them. This risk can be reduced with the proper training. Secondly, overuse of their power can result in extreme fatigue.
Atlas grants the following effects:
Enhanced Strength: The user possess great strength, way above the average human. Task such as lifting cars, or punching through walls are small feats for the user of Atlas. Despite this, durability is increased but not to the same degree as the user’s strength is.
Enhanced Speed and Agility: By strengthening the legs, the user can move around much quicker than the average human. Jumping ability and speed drastically increase.
Enhanced Senses: All five senses are heavily strengthened while under the effects of Atlas. Sight, Scent, Hearing, Touch and Taste are all much stronger than the average human.
Accelerated Healing: The body’s healing functions are much stronger when Atlas is in use, allowing the user to heal and recover much quicker.

"I have always wanted to produce meaningful and impactful videos and Growth Week has given me the opportunity to create the first of many. What I'm working on this week is about breaking African stereotypes. There are a lot of stereotypes non Africans and even some Africans have like we're lazy, or we all speak Swahili, or we are ignorant and not empowered... And many others that will be featured in the video. I want to tell the right story. The true African story. I want this video to empower #Africans, and to show the rest of the world who really are and what we are not" - Flora Nyoro #MeetTheStudents #ALUGrowthWeek
