New Heroic Class - D20

Holovid Superstar

The Holovid superstar just loves to be the center of everyone's' attention.  Keen to entertain and amuse the masses.  Usually the would-be Holovid Superstar starts out on ther homeworld.  A musician may play in local cantinas, an actor may travel with a small amateur dramatics society, and sports star may play for a small local team.  Once they hit the spotlight though fame, and possibly fortune, is theirs.  Their image is broadcast across the galaxy via the holonet (though this is much restricted during the Empires reign) and they soon become a household name, ready for the media to tear down with lies and made-up stories such as 'Lucy Starflair once dated Luke Skywalker shock!'  For a Holovid Superstar working for the Rebel Alliance things would become very tricky if they didn't go to great lengths to hide their identity.  As their career progresses the superstar eventually branches out into another line of work.  A model may become a singer, or an actor.  Likewise, a sports entertainer may go into acting.  Be it rain or shine, for the Holovid Superstar 'The Show must go on.'
