Under Level 10
Looks like we're movin' on up, you know, like those President guys. Or something like that. That was totally way before my time, you know? What I do know is that we're going to need some time to set up our new base. Swing by and talk to me when you're Level 10, and we can check out the new digs.
Under Level 15
I... I need some time to unwind, kiddo. That mission in Galaxy took more out of me than I thought it would. Look, why don't you come back later... say, when you're Level 15ish. Just give me some time.

Wandering around the nation for several years after being discharged from the military, acting as a hired gun to whoever would hire her.
After some time, she got over her disillusionment and remembered why she joined the military to begin with and began fighting for 'what was right'.
Working together with Proton, they fought together to bring justice to Paragon City. Adding Dillo and Flambeaux to the mix, Twinshot is always on the lookout for a fresh face who wants to make a difference.

Story Arc
The Shining Stars - A New Day Dawning (levels 5-9)
Souvenir
Manticore's Arrow
You kept this arrow, engraved with the letter 'S', to remember your experiences with a ragtag group of heroes called...
The Shining Stars - A New Day Dawning
You were invited to join with a group of up-and-coming heroes that call themselves the Shining Stars. After Twinshot introduced you to Proton, Flambeaux, and Dillo, everyone was surprised by an unexpected guest, Grym. Having prevented an inexplicable ambush by Arachnos agents, the Shining Stars counted two new members to the group.
Twinshot then directed you to a friend of hers, Miss Liberty. After pointing out that trainers were for novice and experienced heroes alike, Miss Liberty sent you via the city tram to speak with Blue Steel in Kings Row. You did your part in helping Paragon City by assisting him in the arrest of a group of thugs calling themselves The Skulls.
Later, the Shining Star's makeshift hangout was attacked by Arachnos agents. Fortunately, several of your friends were already at home when the assault came. Working together, you were able to fend off the attacks of the servants of Lord Recluse.
All of your friends then hit the streets of Paragon City in hopes of locating the source of the Arachnos attacks. Working together, the Shining Stars were able to track down where they were coming from. After putting all the clues together, you believed that the Arachnos agents were mistakenly targeting you and your friends. Their true target was Manticore, one of the greatest defenders of Paragon City!
After rushing to Manticore's mansion on the outskirts of the city, it appeared to be too late! Arachnos agents had already broken into his home and claimed to have kidnapped him. After fighting your way down to his secret lair beneath the mansion, you would learn that this was all nothing more than a test put together by Manticore himself! Due to your help, the Shining Stars have been 'adopted' by Manticore and can now consider themselves to be a full-fledged supergroup!

Briefing
Hey there, kid. The name's Twinshot, but you can just call me Twinshot. Your name has been floating around out there for a bit now and I'm hearing good things.

Speaking to Twinshot
Speaking to Twinshot
Had you going, eh? You should have seen your face.
At least you didn't try to blow up the terminal the way that Flambeaux did when I pulled that trick on her.
What was that all about?
It's something I do to all the new guys. Keeps 'em on their toes. So, even though I think you're cool, my buddies might think you're a square, you know?
Now, I've already put in a good word for you, so this should be easy. Let's go introduce you to them.
Sounds good to me. Who's first?
Let's go chat it up with Proton. This is his place we're hanging out in, so I figure he'd want to meet the person who's tromping around the place, you know? He should be around here somewhere.
Oh yeah, up on the second floor. Down the hallway and up the elevators. I'll let you lead the way so you can get a good feel of the place.
Indeed.
(Twinshot joins you as an ally.)
Proton Dialogue
First Encounter:
- Proton: Oh, hello there.
- Proton: You must be Character. Twinshot has been talking about you.
Speaking with Proton
Speaking with Proton
Hello, Let me introduce myself. I am Proton, and I welcome you here to my lab. It may not be much, but considering my unusual circumstances, it was the best I could cobble together on short notice.
Unusual circumstances?
Oh, that's a long story, and one that I'll be happy to share once we get to know each other a little better.
Although I am looking forward to that time, currently I'm in the midst of running some very important analyses of recent data I've collected. And I need every moment I can get that affords me peace and quiet.
I apologize for disturbing you.
Oh, no! I didn't mean to imply that you were the one disturbing ---
Proton looks towards the direction of the new guest with a look of disappointment on his face...

Twinshot and Flambeaux Dialogue
After Flambeaux Spawns:
- Twinshot: Here comes hotpants, right on cue.
- Flambeaux: Hey, where are you? Are you still, like, doing science?
I take it this is the person?
Oh darn... Well, it would seem that my experiment will need to be concluded later.
Twinshot and Flambeaux Dialogue
Flambeaux: Hey, what are you guys talking about?
Twinshot: Aw, c'mon Proty... You know she's got the...
Twinshot: ...wait for it...
Twinshot: ...'hots' for you.
Ah... then it is her.
Ah Flambeaux, my dear...
Well, yes. I am doing the science again. A lot of science, actually. One could say I'm doing, oh, tons and tons of the science.
Flambeaux Dialogue
Flambeaux: But why? It's soooo boring!
Flambeaux: Hey... Who's this?
Perhaps I should let you get back to work?
No no, that's quite alright. I'm quite certain that I'll be unable to get any work done for, unfortunately, a very good while. However, I do thank you for your kindness, friend. Not everyone is so understanding.
Proton looks to Flambeaux with a polite smile on his face.
Flambeaux, have you met our new friend, Character?
I'll talk with her so you can get back to work.
You turn and talk with Flambeaux.
Speaking with Flambeaux
Speaking with Flambeaux
Hey there. The name's Flambeaux, because I'm hot. Like, hot because of fire, right? And also because, well, I'm hot.
Twinshot Dialogue
Twinshot: Wow... I can't believe you just said that out loud.
Oh... Well... Uh... I see...
Don't listen to her - she's just jealous. I keep trying to tell her that the brooding emo look is sooo last year.
That's... Interesting, I think.
Proton Dialogue
Proton: Hmmm... If you'll all excuse me for a moment, I need to investigate an alert I'm getting from our security system.
What? Where are you going, Proton?!
Great. Way to go, Twin. You just scared him away with your tough-guy look again.
Twinshot Dialogue
Twinshot: ...Yeah... You keep believing that, sister.
Um...
So... I bet you have a lot of questions about me, don't you? Don't worry, it's natural - most people do. Well, where do I begin... Okay, so, like, I came here to Paragon City because I felt people needed a hero, right? And I knew that I'm so totally a hero, okay? So then-
Um... Twinshot?
Twinshot Dialogue
Twinshot: Okay, kids, torture time is done. I'll introduce you to Dillo next. He's on the top floor.
But I was just getting to - FINE! I guess that little pipsqueak is more important than hearing about how I can make fire like totally shoot from my hands.
Well, I'm coming along, too!
Let's go find Dillo.
(Flambeaux joins you as an ally)
Flambeaux and Dillo Dialogue
Flambeaux: Okay, so, like let me keep telling you all the things you need to know about me.
Flambeaux: So once I get off the bus from L.A., I look around the city and try to find some hero-ey things to do, right?
Flambeaux: And I'm all like, 'Flambeaux, girl, this city is gonna melt in the palm of your hands.'
Flambeaux: 'Cause I, you know, use fire. That's like one of my sayings... because it's about fire and all.
Flambeaux: Okay, where was I? Oh yeah, so I'm about to save the city from some bad stuff, okay?
Flambeaux: And then I see this total hunk of a guy with a skullface, right?
Flambeaux: And I'm about to let him ask me for my number, but then check this out...
Flambeaux: This skull guy is stealing some total dweeb's briefcase!!! See what I'm saying?
Flambeaux: So I tell the stud... 'Hey! You can't do that.'
Flambeaux: You know, like how a hero says stuff, right?
Flambeaux: And then he totally attacks me WITH A BAT!
Flambeaux: And I'm like, 'Oh no you did NOT just do that!'
Flambeaux: And then...
Dillo: *hoorb*My earthling friends, you come to make the sounds at me! My feeling is excitement at seeing more living earthlings!
Flambeaux: Hey! Are you paying attention, Character!? This part is important!
Flambeaux: So then...
Speaking with Dillo
Speaking with Dillo
'*hoorb*You are the friendly earthling that says Character! Correct, correct, yes?!
'*hoorb*
Dillo makes air sounds at you in greeting!
I... Uh... Air sounds?
Twinshot Dialogue
Twinshot: That's his way of saying he's 'talking'.
Twinshot: The guy's a bit hard to understand at times.
Correct, correct! *hoorb* I am making air sounds like an Earthling so we can be friends! You are for friends with me, correct, correct?
I... Um... Think the answer is yes?
Jubilations and - how does the Earthlings say - the hot dogs! I can not make air sounds to say my energy sign - oh, Earthlings say 'name' - but my friends say that I am Dillo. You can bellow air and say Dillo to me, too. I will say Character to you and we will be happy! Correct, correct!
Um, is he saying we're friends now?
Flambeaux Dialogue
Flambeaux: Okay, like, for reals? I have no idea what the guy is EVER saying. But, I guess he's nice and all. For a pipsqueak.
'*hoorb* I am from a world that is not Earth. And I come to warn the Earthlings of dangers.
The Proton and the Twinshot say it is too late because Shivans moved faster than me.
So now I stay and annihilate Shivans and end all existence of life signs of Shivan peoples!
'*hoorb*
For Earth!
You're here to help us with the Shivans?
Correct, correct! We own encounters with Shivans where annihilation was given as our gift.
Twinshot Dialogue
Twinshot: Hey guys, Proton's calling me. Gotta go see what he wants.
(Twinshot leaves your party)
Dillo momentarily turns his attention to Twinshot.
'*hoorb* We will make sounds at you in future times, the Twinshot.
Dillo resumes speaking with you.
So my sounds are being made to say that we now find other life-clusters and give warnings to them. And I chose Earthling clusters!
Your people were destroyed?
Not all my people. Only in your counting of ten and eight of my planets were removed. My people still have three left.
Oh, that's horrible!
Flambeaux Dialogue
Flambeaux: So, like, now that Grumpy-Gus is gone, how about we get back to talking about me?
'*hoorb*The Flambeaux wants to make air sounds about her person! We like to listen to her, since she makes many, many air sounds! Let us open the breath-holes and listen to her air sounds, correct, correct?
Actually, I think your story is more -
The conversation pauses as Twinshot comes over the intercom.
[Caption] Twinshot: Listen up, kids. Looks like we have some unwelcome guests at the front door.
[Caption] Twinshot: How about you all lend a hand?
Dillo appears to swell up and you feel a slight vibration in your teeth for no explicable reason.
The Twinshot requests assistance! We must go!
I'm right with you!
(Dillo joins you as an ally)
Grym and Twinshot Dialogue
Combat Start:
- Grym: You are not welcome here, spider man. You will leave these champions alone!
- Grym: I have delayed you long enough for the champions to arrive, evildoer.
Arachnos Defeated:
- Grym: I come to you as a friend and protector. Let us parlay.
- Twinshot: Okay, guys. I got the place locked down. Who's this?
Speaking with Grym
Speaking with Grym
I am Grym, and I come from another land. I wish to join your group so that I may guard over your safety.
Why do you want to do that?
I have been chosen to bear the honor of protecting this city. I see that you are unable to defend yourself from the spider lords.
Twinshot Dialogue
Twinshot: Spider Lords, eh? That's a new one. You know, I like this guy.
Well, I guess there is that. How do we know we can trust you?
By tracing the silver cord of my aura - Ah, yes... You possess inferi - different - senses than I do. Then you will need to use your own judgement.
Well, I guess...
Then it is settled. I shall choose a small area nearby and make a den.
Okay...
Speaking with Twinshot
Speaking with Twinshot
Well, turns out is was a bit more exciting than I had originally planned. So whaddya think? Do we seem like people you'll want to hang with?
Sure, I'll think about it.
Okay, same here. I need to chat with the guys and see what they think about you.
That seems fair.
Why don't you meet me back in Atlas in a few and I'll let you know what they had to say.
See you there.
Debriefing
Thanks for stopping by. Everyone seemed to like your style, so they wanted me to ask you if you wanted to join up with our team. You know, friends and all that stuff. How's that sound, kiddo?
Ongoing Training
Briefing
Hey there, kiddo. So I was thinking... You held your own pretty well with those Arachnos guys storming the place last time, right? But you could always use a couple of pointers here and there. Now I could show you a thing or two, but I'm not really a good teacher. However, I know someone who I could put you in touch with. Interested?
Sure. Where do I find him?
You can find HER outside City Hall. The name's Ms. Liberty. You may have already met her before, but the gal's pretty busy helping people out so you may not have had a real chance to get to know her. You let her know that you're a friend of Twinshot and she'll likely take some time out to chat with you.
Mission Objective(s)
Mission Objective(s)
- Ride the Monorail from Atlas Park to Kings Row.

You managed to get a few more Skulls off the streets and made the city that much safer.

Speaking with Ms. Libery
Speaking with Ms. Liberty
Hi there! I can help you with all of your training needs. Come to me anytime you feel your personal training is - I'm sorry, what was that?
I'm Twinshot's friend. She said you could give me some pointers?
Oh, you're Twin's friend? I know I've seen you around before, but I didn't know you were hanging out with her. Let me tell you something about that girl... She's got a good heart, you know?
Any friend of Twinshot is a friend of mine. What would you like me to help you with?
Why do I come to trainers for leveling?
A bunch of us here in Paragon City like helping other people. For instance, did you know there's a place where you can actually talk with other heroes just like you and I? I think they call it the Help Channel. But back to what I was saying.
When you gain a new level of experience, you may not know how to push your powers to that next level. However, that's what we trainers help you do. We show you all the things you can do with your powers.
How do I gain levels?
As you perform tasks for the safety of the people of Paragon City, you'll gain more and more experience. Once you've had your fill of learning the ins-and-outs of crimefighting, you'll increase your security level. That's when you want to come to me or another trainer and we'll show you how to take your powers up to the next level, too.
How do I know when to come to you?
You'll have a mental indicator letting you know it's time. Think of it like a flashing arrow. After we talk, you can decide where you want to apply your newfound powers. Sometimes you'll want to increase a power you already have, and other times you might even learn a new one. In the end, it's pretty much up to you. We're only here to help guide you along the way.
You mentioned others. Where are they?
They're all over Paragon City. You can usually find someone in just about every district. How about you pay a visit to Blue Steel. He's over in Kings Row, which is a short tram away.
How about you go pay him a visit and let him know that Ms. Liberty sent you. Kinda the way Twin did earlier.
I can do that. Thanks, Ms. Liberty.
You've arrived at the Atlas Park monorail station. Now use the tram to travel to Kings Row and talk with Blue Steel at the police station.
Speaking with Blue Steel
Speaking with Blue Steel
Hello there, citizen. Are you in need of training suggestions today?
Actually, Ms. Liberty sent me to you for more pointers.
Oh, I see. I take it you're an up-and-coming hero? Good! This city can use all it can get. As you can tell, this part of the city is still struggling to get the street crime under control, which is why I'm here. What kind of pointers were you looking for?
That tram I came in on... Does it only go here?
Nah, the trams go to all different parts of the city. You should be able to find a monorail station in just about every district in the city and they'll take you to nearly every other one as well.
Just make sure you don't get off at the wrong stop. Some places can be a bit too dangerous for those new to the area. As a matter of fact, even here in Kings Row we have to deal with street gangs that simply don't respect the law.
Speaking of... would you be willing to do your civic duty as a hero and help take care of some of these gangs for us?
Of course! What do you need me to do?
All throughout the streets you'll find a variety of hoodlums. However, the ones that are the most blatant violators of the law as of late are a gang that calls themselves the Skulls. They're pretty easy to spot - each of them wears a piece of a human skull on their face.
You should be able to find them hanging out all around the police station here in Freedom Plaza. On your way back to Atlas Park, could you send a number of them to the hospital? We'll be sure to have a police escort waiting for them once they get patched up.
Absolutely. Thanks for the advice, Blue Steel.
Debriefing
You're back, kiddo. I'm hoping Liberty and Steel managed to drive a few of those pointers home in that thick noggin of yours.
Hahaha... I'm joshing with you. Remember, though. Whenever you feel you need to up your powers a bit more, always hit a trainer. Even if you have to ride from one end of the city to the other, it's worth it. Get in touch with me in a while, kid. I might have something else in store for you.
A Spider Infestation
Briefing
How's it going, kiddo. I was thinking we could patrol the city, you know, doing our civic duty and all that hero-ey goodness. But seriously though, doing our part to help stamp out crime will go a long way towards helping the city's future. And I for one like the idea of having a bright and shiny new future, you know? Also, while we're patrolling, I'd like to ask your feelings about that Grym character. Him showing up when he did was a bit coincidental, don't you think? I mean it's one thing to --
Twinshot touches the earpiece she's wearing and pauses for a moment.
Heads up, kiddo. Proton is sending out a distress call. Says he needs our help ASAP.
Distress call? What can we do to help him?
Twinshot gestures to you that she's listening to the message.
Oh that's not good...
Twinshot hands move to her pistols faster than your eye can follow, finishing with a flourishing twirl.
Bad news, kiddo. Looks like Arachnos decided to come back for Round Two. From his message, it sound like it's not just a scouting team, either. What in the heck are they doing all the way over here... and why?
We can figure that out later. For now, we're passing on the patrolling. Instead, you're going in through the front while I'm taking out any perimeter defenses they've set up. I'll meet you inside.
Mission Objective(s)
From the minor blast marks, it would seem Arachnos used expertly localized explosives to blow open the door. Now is when you think it might have been a better idea for Twinshot to have joined you.
