Complications:
Fame / Secret - As Starburst, Ratan is quite famous, and in one of the most densely populated countries of the world. As such, he is often hounded by the press. It also makes him very careful about his double identity.
Honor - Ratan holds himself to a higher standard.
Working for the U.N. - Wanting to help people and working for the U.N. are ~~sometimes~~ often mutually exclusive.
Responsibility - Ratan Ranganekar feels he has to use his powers for good.

Starburst was created and designed by Ken Hallaron. He is an NPC.
