[b]Astral (Jema Nal of Naltor)

Powers - Hexes and curses that quite often seem to have gravitational effects (causing attacks to fall short, foes to fall over, etc.). Precognition, which usually must be focused through astrological / mystical methods of divination.

History;
The daughter of Thom Kallor of Xanthu and Nura Nal of Naltor, Jema Nal followed in the steps of her aunt Mysa, training first on Sorcerer’s World, and later on Orando (when relations with the Sorcerer’s World grew chilly). She returned to Earth in time to see the Legion Headquarters, and her estranged parents, vanish for all time, and then sat cross-legged in the plaza until Brainiac 5 arrived, at which point, she had arranged a medical team to be standing by, as she had foreseen his return.

She aided Brainiac Six and Electrode in gathering together the arriving children of the lost Legionnaires, assisted by her previous friendship with Shen Voxv, and engaging Lamn Mallor in persuasive philosophical arguments about the importance of maintaining their parent’s legacy.

Jema spent years in training on Sorcerer’s World, and some note that her training seems to have taken longer than she has been alive, as if the wizards of that world warped time itself, to force more training into their recruits! On Orando, her training was far more physical, with the Seers of Orando sending her into the wild, to discover the secret magics of wind and herb, of blood and soil, a far cry from the more esoteric dream-like education in the mystic arts she had received under her aunt’s supervision. It was Mysa who came to Naltor when her sister’s child began to exhibit unusual talents, and Nura was persuaded that only on the Sorcerer’s Word could she be trained to unlock these gifts, without bringing harm to herself or those around her, as gravitational forces warped in her presence, and those who upset her found themselves falling to the ground, while items that barred her path were occasionally crushed beneath a seemingly unending force…

True enough, on Sorcerer’s World, and later, on Orando, she learned to refine her gifts, in the practice of magic. She manipulates gravity, like her father, but learned to do so through the mechanism of spells and incantations, only through years of rote and practice developing the ability to manipulate mass with a simple thought. They had to un-teach her how to unconsciously inflict her whims on the world around her, before they could re-teach her how to just as effortlessly bend these colossal forces to her deliberate will.

The study of sorcery has greatly modified her expression of power, such that she is able to create warping fields of gravity around someone, to afflict them over a time, in some cases, over days! She can create different fields that ward away incoming attacks, shielding her, or those she ‘blesses,’ from hostile action! And in the ways of true sorcery, she has learned some rituals to empower herself and others with some basic wards against ill fortune, which her allies don’t really notice, due to their subtlety, but are effective nonetheless.

Jema is a stunningly beautiful young woman, surprisingly young of body, and yet old of soul, and alternately is unnaturally mature and insightful, and at times as whimsical as a dancing wind. She tends to dress in all-concealing robes of grey, with a hood pulled over her magnificent mane of silvery hair, and her sparkling blue eyes similarly concealed in shadows. The robe is cut strangely, in overlapping angles of cloth, and is designed for economy of motion, and the obscuring of action. Within these robes, she can make gestures unseen by others, and yet leap as nimbly as a woman in a skin-tight bodysuit. Underneath her all-concealing robes, she wears an armored bodysuit, an insistence of her Orandan trainers, who drilled into her head that ‘fortune favors the prepared’ and that ‘a blade through the heart silences all spells.’ Indoors, she will let her hood down, and she has been known to weave fantastic stories, and spin men around her little finger, and then leave them hanging, eternally amused by how ‘boys will be boys.’

It is only recently that she has found a ‘boy’ to her liking, an infinitely complex young man whose future is a bewildering swirl of possibilities that alternately captivates and somewhat frightens her. Still, she keeps secrets close and prizes the mysteries in life more than anything else, and so few, if any, of her team-mates have any knowledge of her newest secret.

While Jema is quite aware of the gravitational underpinnings of her abilities, she prefers to dress them up in terms like ‘curses’ and ‘blessings’ and ‘wards,’ as a result of her training. She is particularly fascinated with the concept of the astrological signs and their affects on the living world, as her powers do indeed come from the stars, and she is indeed able to make ‘their will’ manifest upon those who displease her. Unlike her whimsical mother, Jema can be painfully studious, and spends an hour in meditation each day, exploring future possibilities as related to the use of her powers.[/b]

In a possibly controversial move, Nura Nal, High Seer of Naltor, enabled herself to become pregneant by the men of her choosing. She foresaw having five children, all with different fathers.

Third born, Mora Morgna, daughter of Dirk Morgna. Mora is a stunning looking girl with long curly strawberry blonde hair with platinum highlights. She is (unsurprisingly) extremely precocious. Mora is able to radiate heat from within her body, but not able to blast it out in a flare like her father. She is able to foresee the actions of sentients near her, but has so far not shown any other more general precognative skills. However, what she can do helps her a lot, because she gets a lot of attention from other sentients, especially boys! She calls herself Flare. Mora is actually a very sweet girl, but always on the lookout for something fun and exciting to do. Her parents lavish unreasonable amounts of affection and material goods upon her. She splits her time between Naltor and Earth.

Fourth born, Londa Londo, daughter of Brin Londo. Londa inherited the perfect combination of her parents' powers. She's able to predict the actions of her adversaries, and is able to physically react, with meta-acrobatic skill. Londa's hair is dark and straight, like her father's, but she has one twirling platinum strand right on the top of her head. Londa rarely sees her father, and longs for time with him. Her mother seems to try to compensate by being a tad overprotective.

Fifth born, Tia Stewart, daughter of Troy Stewart. Tia has not shown any precognative ability, but has shown the "Tyroc" skill of her father's culture on Marzal. However, Nura has insisted that Tia culitvate her skills into more beautiful melodies. Hence, Tia is able to sing out and create amazing affects. She calls herself "Siren." Tia looks exactly like her mother, except she has caramel toned skin and golden brown hair. Her eyes are an amazing amber color. Nura sadly relented to Troy and allowed Tia to live with him full time. Tia loves Marzal so much that she was sad whenever she was on Naltor. However, she loves her mother and sends her holo-recordings of herself singing. Nura now uses those songs to send her to sleep, and her aides note that Nura is able to sleep more deeply and dream more productively with her young daughter's aid.

Shady / Jo - daughter can call upon greenish energy force that is so dark as to be almost black in color, in the form of a massive dragon around herself, either in part (as a clawed 'gauntlet' to tear open a door) or in whole (as a larger-than-human figure that surrounds her like a battlesuit, or the 'psionic exoskeleton' of a character like Unuscione). In this form, attacks must blast through the force field to damage her, and the energy construct has great strength, and wings allowing it to fly. It is susceptible to being disrupted by certain frequencies of light, however, and is not indestructible to heat.

The shadow eventually becomes it's own real dragon. It's quite the set of stories.

So, I REALLY love your idea here.
The exoskelton part isn't in the books and is a great idea on it's own.
