Super Bob! Bob has the powers of absolute ordinary-ness. In fact, Bob isn't a super hero at all, but a middle-class cubicle worker in a semi-successful toothpick company who is simply going through the rounds of life, Bob is very grey and doesn't even know why he refers to himself as "super".

Also Jesus.

Sorry about the wait.

Name: Sumeyya Yilmaz
Alias: "Kutsal" or "Holy"
Age: 19
Height: 5'9" (~175 cm)
Weight: 140 lbs. (~63.5 kg)

Appearance:

Overall, Sumeyya is a normal looking girl. Her hair is dark brown, wavy, and falls to just past her shoulders. Light, honey brown eyes gleam at the world. She has full cheeks with dimples, and a stud piercing on the right side of a defined nose.

Personality:

Sumeyya was a headstrong and confident girl, once upon a time. Serious, but not usually dour. Her guiding principle in life has been a general optimism, a faith in humanity that acted as the rock she stood upon. Yes, bad things happen, but people come together to change things for the better. After the events of the past year, she found that faith somewhat shaken. Doubt and insecurity began to set in. Now, she's not sure anymore what she believes in or what her place in the world is.

Biography:

Born to a middle-class family in Istanbul, it didn't take long for Sumeyya to seem like something of an odd girl. Often she would have preternatural insights, knowing things that she shouldn't have or talking about things that would prove to happen later on. Her grandfather, while he still lived, adored her and the things she knew. He said she was a special girl, blessed by God. Her mother didn't appreciate such things filling her child's head, and for her part her daughter scared her. She had tried to shrug it off the way her husband could, but as time went on and she could no longer just chock everything up to coincidence. Sumeyya's older brother and sister liked her because they could use her to get away with things.

As she grew older, she came to understand that she unsettled people more than anything else, and learned to be more discrete. Life was normal, for the most part. She was a modern, liberal girl, with plenty of friends who did well in her classes and wanted to go to college (to be what, she didn't know.) When unrest came to Turkey, it was only natural that she would be out there protesting alongside her siblings and friends. Things became dangerous when the government cracked down and police flooded the streets, but Sumeyya's brother knew better than that. He pushed her to use her gifts to help the protesters carry on and fight back, and overnight she became key to their efforts. She accrued a sort of infamy with what she knew and could do, troublingly amongst the government as well as with the protestors.

Naturally, it came crashing down. Sumeyya's gifts were plenty, but she wasn't omniscient. While they couldn't get to her directly, the government could certainly get to her family. Her final week in her homeland was a tangled tragedy. Her father died, her mother, brother and sister barely escaping with their lives. Her life had imploded around her, but some small amount of fortune remained. It was at the climax of all of this that Puriel contacted her. She had nothing to lose anymore, and decided that if anyone could guide her into not making another mess like this, it would be them.

Power: Psychic

Sumeyya's powers are all psychic in nature, and were latent in her from a young age. She's had no training in them, and often still finds them nebulous to control or use in meaningful ways. It's her hope that Puriel will help her to properly understand, control, and utilize her gifts. The first abilities she displayed were largely related to her extra-sensory perception: psychic dowsing and divination, communication with non-human spirits and the dead, clairvoyance, precognition, and low-level telepathy and mind reading. Her power grew in adolescence, now able to telekinetically manipulate objects and people, mentally project herself into the world while her body stays behind, and even levitate herself or another person for a short period of time.

Skills:

She's a 19 year old girl. Like. I dunno what you're expecting here. Decent enough with computers? Good at texting, definitely. Decent enough at drawing. Fluent in Turkish and English, with a smattering of knowledge in Russian and German.

((Apologies for having a male character! I had finished a character sheet prior to your post, so I hope this is still alright!))

Name: Tucker Lynch

Alias: Sparky

Age: 17

Personality: (Paragraph)

Appearance: A lean boy, standing at around 5’11”, with medium-length light brown hair. Tucker’s eyes are the dull color of thunder clouds, a deep gray. Apart from that, nothing else is too special, aside from the occasional flash bright white light around him.

Power: From an early age, Tucker had shown signs of what many would call extraordinary. He has the ability to amplify, diminish, and control electromagnetic fields within a 30-foot wide circle of himself. He can generate enough force to shoot a two inch in diameter object at a maximum of 996 miles per hour, with larger objects being launched at slower speeds. Tucker can also freely move and manipulate metallic objects, as well as cling or repel said objects away from him, and vice versa. An object must have come to a complete stop, and Tucker must have had a firm enough focus on the object for him to repel it. The extent of how many objects he can manipulate at once is three separate objects at a time, with a combined weight of less than 600 pounds if three objects are being acted upon. Tucker cannot focus his electromagnetism onto a fourth object until he has released a different object. This rule counts Tucker himself as an object as well. He has been able to lift at most 1,700 pounds with his ability. Any greater force would put extreme strain on Tucker’s body. He can, if he focuses hard enough, generate enough force beneath himself to render a normally fatal fall nearly painless. This by no means allows him to fly.
Tucker can continuously use his powers at full force for about two minutes. He will begin to tire and have less control over the velocity and force an object exerts the longer he uses his electromagnetism.

Skills: Tucker skilled in maneuvering around three-dimensions, as he has the ability to do so given there are metallic surfaces, or surfaces with metal in them.

Gear/Equipment/Weapons: Tucker carries ten pennies, just in case.

Bio: His mother had been kidnapped and taken to an underground facility 6 months prior to Tucker’s birth, and had been subject to a newer era of torture and experimentation. She died 3 days before artificially giving birth to the baby boy. The assumed scientists placed the care of Tucker into the hands of a colleague of theirs, studying his growth. He was not tested upon until the age of 7, where during the first experiment his electromagnetism had gotten out of hand at an alarming rate. He escaped the facility quietly, as there were no living people to operate the alarms.

Tucker learned quickly to control this ability, and practice it in secret. He attended intermediate school, but left after his 16th birthday. He began to take the “superhero” approach to life, stopping petty thieves and effectively rendering getaway vehicles useless. He hasn't killed anyone since the first experiment, but he has harmed some criminals. Tucker is a very shy boy, and would very rarely willingly talk to a stranger, leaving him few options for friendship. When he received the brief contact notice from Puriel, he decided that it was a grand idea. He could find out more about the horrible facility, and save others from the terrible clutches that the mad people had.

Korthulu, All good, but I have two questions.

Does she have any gear/belongings?

At what level is her divination? And what kind? Divination is a cool power but very easily abusable one in a forum RP, while free range in a comic book written by a single person, it becomes whole new field of depth and responsibility to work with, namely communicating your divinations out of character to everyone so they can agree before posting them so you don't piss anyone off? It allows the player to basically control the story to what they want depending on the type of divination if left unchecked. I will allow something like "Knowing what's going to happen 10 seconds in the future" not something like "Knowing distant future events or just 'knowing the future'" because the later is a pain in the ass to deal with for me and probably moreso for you.
Crimmypop, does Tucker ever run out of energy? Repelling and controlling any metal object seems like a very powerful ability, especially when combined with his rail gun power. What is the limit of his "controlling metal objects and repelling other objects". I'd be fine with him being able to manipulate and repel a single object he is focusing on, I won't allow him to create a magnetic field and control everything in it willy-nilly and nullify any metal weapon or projectile coming his way because that is silly.

I've edited in what you asked for and given what I think to be strict enough prerequisites to the power usage.

Re: Divination, it's more like feelings about things that will happen in the very near future, or dreams about future events. I wasn't going to do too much with it without running it by you first or just letting you feed me things when/how you saw fit. Didn't really have any ambitions to threadjack or whatever. =<

As far as belongings, I figured things like clothing, jewelry, cellphones, and other basic person accoutrements were assumed without having to be listed. She's not really a fighter like the rest of these guys are, so she doesn't have any particular or special kind of equipment or items. She's got her powers, as much as she understands how to use them, and that's it. More of a utility/social skill character.

So I just realized that Vince's powers (currently) over lap with two people. Evan and Tucker. I'm sure this will in no way impact anything. :3c

I'm pretty sure that would just result in the ocean catching fire. How? I have no idea, but I'm pretty sure that is how that would turn out.
