Having developed her powers at the age of 11, Alessa was forced to hide her new found abilities to try and live the most normal life she could. She tried her best to avoid anything electronic, as they had a habit of breaking or shorting out around her; but that is easier said than done. Books became her best friends, and it became a running joke amongst others that it would be impossible to see Alessandra without her face buried in a book. In college, Alessandra studies ancient history and archeology, hoping that digging up the bronze age will keep her as far away from the source of her problems. Still, it crosses her mind once in a while about using her powers like the other elementals she hears about so often.

Powers: Mahmoud is able to generate extrememly hot fires though rough friction with his skin. These flames can easily burn though flesh and bone, and incinerate most walls and barriers that get in the way. These flames are expetionally bright as well, and the fumes produced can lead to poisoning and flesh necrosis when exposed for extended time.
Weapons: Mahmoud has no need for weapons, but he does keep a rough file to help get the friction to start fires.
Backstory: Mahmoud Nobakht was born a lowely peasant in a povery stricken village in Afghanistan. Around the time he was 7, his father got an oppourtunity to emmigrate to nearby Iran, and so they did. During his time as a child, Mahmoud was known as a violent, agressive child. No matter how much he was scoulded or punished, Mahmoud made no progress. The people of his town often called him a devil child. When the teenage years came around, Mahmoud was shipped off, far from Iran to live with relatives in Russia. It was for the better, lest he be killed for his behavior at home. In his early adulthood, Mahmoud was little more than a common thug, working as a simple grunt in a semithreatening gang in the city of Moscow. It seemed that Mahmoud would be little more than a street thug for the rest of his life; his family giving up on him as soon as 18 rolled around, but then something happened. In an argument with a higher up gang member, Mahmoud took a swing at his adversary, his fist catching onto the worn, scratchy jacket and bursting into flames. As the man burned to Ash and bone, Mahmoud took this oppourtunity to assert his position of authority over the group. Now in control, with the power of Fire under his control, Mahmoud was able to crush all opposition before him, and establish a fortune and an empire of crime. Still, he realizes that there must be more like him, and so, Mahmoud uses his influence and power to seek out other elementals to join him.

Powers: She instantly kills any bacteria or other pathogens on any surface she touches with her fingertips, so she's good as a medic.
Also can exhale toxins at will that cause immediate blistering and irritation, in the lungs, as well as horrible agony, and death if exposure lasts long enough.
I did a little reading for this and I read that something called a "chlorine iron fire" exists, which I didn't know about. Maybe if someone makes a character for iron, they can kick ass together?

Weapons: n/a

Backstory: Chloe's life before her powers developed was pretty normal and boring, although she has a history of being kind of germophobic and has always been an excellent swimmer. Her toxic breath had to be mastered over time: she first realized she had powers at all (since it's a little hard to realize you've just killed every microorganism on whatever you've touched) when she was walking home stupidly in the dark one day after a party and a young man who was following her startled her from behind, activating her toxic breath. He ended up dying. She struggles with a lot of guilt about this.

Element: Cobalt

Name: Fargus Oberschmidt

Element: Strontium

Age: 32

Gender: Male

Appearance: With ashy-red hair, freckles, and an uncomfortable-looking scar across the sternum, Fargus is the very model of a modern Scot. Fargus tends to wear casual and breezy clothes, often wearing an unbuttoned Hawaiian shirt and jeans at all times. Fargus' face is described as 'craggy' at best, and bears numerous scars and calluses from his many life-threatening experiences. Fargus has an unpleasant tendency to suck on his teeth and crack his knuckles when irritated or bored.

Powers: Fargus is capable of blocking radiation, due to Strontium's naturally absorbent properties. In addition, Fargus can psychically promote bone growth, making healing significantly easier. Finally, Fargus can increase the intensity and magnitude of any combustion by generating Strontium within the explosion's igniting heart.

Weapons: One Springfield "Operator" .45 ACP handgun, purchased from a collector while staying in America. Acquiring ammunition for it is relatively difficult, but Fargus makes do through his shadier contacts. Fargus is a dab hand with his pocket multitool, but prefers to use any other weapons available.

Backstory: Born in Glasgow, Fargus Oberschmidt didn't have a very well-adjusted childhood. With a deadbeat dad and a drunkard of a mother, Fargus grew to rely on himself and himself alone. After just barely graduating from secondary school, Fargus promptly went into drugrunning and petty gangbanging for one of Glasgow's myriad criminal enterprises: The Smilies. In time, he grew to become the leader of the Smilies. Through ruthless practices and an innate sense for good business, Fargus and his boys beat out the competition, carving out a solid chunk out of the city for the Smilies. One ill-fated attempt at a major deal and a police-issue massacre later, Fargus was forced to flee to the states with only a handful of his mates. With little else other than the clothes on their backs and the chips on their shoulders, The Smilies are bound to rise again.
