 In order to access their star power, the student summons their Facade. This is a uniform that goes over their normal uniform (or replaces, as the player decides) that imparts a form to the power. Designing the appearance of the Facade is part of creating your hero. It can evolve and change during play too, but at the start we need a base form for the Facade. In order to access their star power, the student summons their Facade.

-  * **Facade creation**: Make it entertaining. Use your language and colors to evoke intense imagery, remember the powers bestowed on the hero born under a star title are amazing things. Don't be afraid of magic or technology, embrace ideas that pop into your head. Have fun! If it has some humor to it, all the better.+  * **Working up a Facade**: Make it entertaining.

 Every hero born under a star title has a significant presence. You need to decide what makes them stand out from the crowd, what makes them special at first glance to the other students attending Battle High!. Every hero born under a star title has a significant presence.

-  * **Building some Presence**: You have free reign here to really tell the group something about your hero. Don't just think about appearance, but about the hero and who they are. The rigid, strict busybody that has to tell everyone what they should be doing is a great presence description, but it told us almost nothing about the heroes appearance. This is just as much about demeanor and attitude than looks, and how they relate to the other students attending Battle High!+  * **Building serious Presence**: You have free reign here to really tell the group something about your hero.

 +  * **Cooking up a Tasty Motive**: A proper motive really needs to be motivating, it is the reason that even in the face of adversity your hero isn't going to just drop out of Battle High! and go to some nice school in the south where the girls wear bikinis to class. It needs to be delicious, dark, and satisfying. You want the other players to go "oh damn" when it comes up in play. It does not need to be public however, but it will most likely come out in play (when it does you get bonuses in a Crucible for instance). If Zenith sent a black squad to murder your hero's sister and it happened in the bedroom right next to your hero in the middle of the night, well now that is motivation. See? However, the Stray Narrator has a duty to make dry motivations juicy with liberal applications of "fuck your hero". Even if you end up with "Polaris transferred to Battle High! because her family moved into town" rest assured the Stray Narrator is going to involve your family into the story in unfortunate ways.
