History:
Rainee, an exuberant, sometimes obnoxious girl by nature, discovered her powers when she was six years old. She had always been more likely to laugh or sing or dance or just bounce in place than fight or argue, but when she found two older boys picking on her quiet, withdrawn twin brother at the park one day, she saw red. Perhaps literally. It was the last thing she remembered. When she woke up in the hospital a week later with no memory of what had happened. She was told she had been rescued by the local authorities from a fire that had started in the dry grasses of the park. Someone, they told her, must have dropped a cigarette and started the strange blaze. Her brother had run for help, and Rainee had been found, unconscious, in the grass, apparently stricken with heat exhaustion and smoke inhalation, though there were no burn marks on her body. The other two boys, "hadn't made it." When her brother told her what had really happened, she'd cried for a week. She still doesn't talk about that day.
Two weeks after her sixteenth birthday, Rainee and her twin brother went missing from a house fire that killed both their parents.
Name: Cade Marcus | Age: 16 | Ability: Hydrokinetic
Traits: Reclusive • Intelligent • Secretly Hilarious
Skills:
Strength - He's got some wiry muscle, for a skinny kid • Logic - Good at planning things • Piano - Like a young, (more) awkward Elton John
History:
Cade was opposite his sister in every way, and yet the two seemed made for each other. Always much more reserved and thoughtful, he discovered his ability first, though he kept it from his sister for almost a year, afraid of what she would say. He'd been at a birthday party, too afraid to swim, wishing he was at home. Rainee had been dutifully playing with him on the tarmac, but when it grew too hot, she ran off to find them some ice cream. A 'friend' took the opportunity to push the shy redhead into the pool; Cade had panicked, and before he knew what was happening, dragged the boy in with him...without ever having touched him. Both he and the boy had seen the water lap around the latter's ankles and pull him under. Cade was dubbed a savior and future lifeguard when he dove in after the kid and hauled him out, coughing and sputtering. The kid enver talked to him again, and Cade couldn't accept any praise.
Two weeks after his sixteenth birthday, he woke up to find a strange man crouched over his bed. Impossibly, a moment later, Rainee was there, with a look in her eyes he knew well. The next thing he knew, the house was gone, and he and his sister were being dragged away.
