Amber Rose FlameWhen Amber was thirteen years old, there was a fire in her house. As the first one to wake up, she violetly alerted her mum, dad and sister. When running out of the house, Amber put her hands up in front of her face and the fire immediately settled down. Within five minutes the fire had vanished completely and Amber had realised that she had this special superpower.

I was always a loud child, which came as no surprise to my mother, who herself is a screeching Banshee (my father a mortal whom she seduced but cunningly disappeared soon after the encounter). My name is is Ligeia, and I was born with the power of the sonic scream. As I mentioned, I had a great deal of trouble "keeping my voice down" as a child. My mother raised me amongst mortals because she fear that my half-mortal blood would prevent me from engaging fully in the world of superheros. She was also hiding her existence from oppressive forces in the superhero world that was working to exile all Banshees to remote forests and caves. When my mother saw that I was indeed developing super powers, she had to teach me how to use them prudently and conceal them from the rest of the world. Nevertheless, my teachers were constantly sending my mother notes saying that I could not use an "indoor voice". I remember my classmates covering their ears whenever I began to speak. Over the years I learned how to switch back and forth between my "normal" voice and my "super" voice. I have yet to explore what all my voice has the ability to do, but I am only 23! I will soon emerge from my life as a common citizen and begin my career as a superhero. The only problem is that I am unregistered because of my mother's status. They think she is dead and no one in the world of superheroes knows of my existence. But I am driven by my mother's plight to fight for justice and equality in the superworld! Wish me luck!SO: Male, L

Great backstory & I love the name. Ligeia's SO has the power to locate others with powers

Morana Zoe Yarrow(Morana means death, Zoe means life, and the flower yarrow symbolizes healing)One could consider Morana Zoe Yarrow lived a pretty normal life - aside from the fact that she was an orfan and lived from foster family to foster family, never really feeling like she belonged in any of them. She was 16 when she arrived at her last foster home. The couple who took her in had many foster children, but only one daughter of their own - Blair, who was also 16. It took a while for Morana to completely trust Blair, but they became good friends - more, they became sisters. One day, they were hanging out together in a carnival when a strange looking gypsy woman passed. She didn't have a booth, nor did she seem to work in the carnival at all. She look intensely at Morana when they passed, but they kept on walking. Later that evening, Blair had gone to get them something to eat when the gypsy approched Morana."Do you know who you are?", she asked."Yeah!", she exclaimed, surprised. "What are you talking about?""You're one of them... the one with the power of life and death..." the woman stated."Sure. I really don't have any money on me, so..." She just frowned and went to look for Blair, leaving the woman alone.She must've looked freaked out when she found her friend, because Blair asked, "Is there something wrong?""Nah, just some weirdo."She forgot all about the encounter and their lives went on. About a year later, tragedy struck the family: Blair and two of her foster siblings got sick, and no doctors seemed to be able to identify their illness. The other two died after a few days in the hospital, and if the infection wasn't identified soon the same would happen to Blair. Morana was terrified - just when she had found a friend, her only friend, she was in mortal danger. Eventually, Blair slipped into a coma, just like the other two children had before they died. Morana was crying , holding Blair's hand, when she suddenly woke up. The doctors were shocked: Blair was fully recovered. No one knew what happened. Blair's parents thought it was a miracle.

Wow, that was amazing! When you mentioned that guys son I kind of wondered if you were thinking of making him Morana's SO. Morana's SO has the ability to create natural weapons from his body, sort of like quills from a porcupine.

Steely grey eyes took in the dreary white hospital building. A young-looking girl with very light blond hair walked into the hospital and took the stairs to the fourth floor, where she worked with outpatients. This was Kestrel Magnesia Maxwell, better known to friends as Kessie. Kessie worked as a massage therapist and was considered one of the best in her field. Kessie had guessed why she was good at being a masseuse, because not only did she offer massages, she also used her unique gift to help patients feel better. Magnetic massage therapy, she supposed you would call it. Kessie had lived with her "gift" for as long as she could remember. Her mother tells the story that when Kessie was a toddler, she ingested pure nickel from a leaking battery and was rushed to the ER. While there, the doctors discovered that Kessie seemed to attract everything metal in the room. After three weeks in the hospital, they concluded that there was no treatment or cure for Kessie's condition and they diagnosed her as the first person to experience Magnetic Dysplasia. In short, Kessie was a human magnet. Her parents found a clothing manufacturer who would infuse his fabrics with a magnetically resistant material, so that Kessie could grow up without worrying about attracting metal to herself. By the time Kessie was eight, she had begun learning how to control her gift. Now, sixteen years later, she has learned to control the magnetism of her body so well that she can summon bursts of magnetic energy, use levitation-like powers to bring magnetic objects to herself, and reverse the polarity of her body to attract different magnets. At all times, Kessie has a small magnetic current running throughout her body, and she most often brings bursts of magnetic energy to her hands while giving massages. Long ago she learned that, if something was magnetic, she could attract it to herself or repel it, causing it to move as if by magic. Kessie also learned how to reverse the polarity in her body, though that is not usually desirable. She cannot physically control the polarity, but has found that when eating nuts or spicy foods it changes almost automatically. Kessie is also very good with directions, being that she is kind of a human compass. She can find her way out of almost anywhere if she knows which way the roads go.

Name: Maya Nerissa Cypris
Meaning: Maya means water in hebrew. Nerissa means sea sprite. Cypris means dweller on the rivers edge.Maya would like a male SO (not husband yet) with the letter L__________________________________________________________________________________
My name is Maya Cypris, and I am different.
Not different as in "can speak three languages" or "isn't afraid of everything". I mean really, truly different.
I've known I was different ever since I was little, back when I lived in Hawaii. (My parents went there for their honeymoon and decided they wanted to live there). I was always near the water. After a time, I learned that I had the ability to control it. I was never scared or confused by this power. It was always with me. Something I had been born with.
Last year, I moved to the mainland to go to college. Now I'm in my second year at NYU. People here aren't as open minded as they were in Hawaii. I'm more nervous about getting caught. What would people think of me If they knew I had this power? What would they say?

That's why I said SO instead of H incase there was anyone who'd rather just have a SO, like me :) Beautiful name! SO has the power to bring out other's latent powers.

My name is Xiomara Aisling, and I have had X-ray vision for as long as I can remember. It definitely helps when I want to avoid people, as I can see through walls. It is not so good when I can see through some peoples clothing, ick! Aisling means "dream" or "vision" in Irish Gaelic, so I guess my parents must have had some sort of vision themselves!DH: BEdited to add DH's initial letter

I like the part about seeing through people's clothings. :) Xiomara's H has a powerful breath, meaning he can blow objects down by simply taking a deep breath.

Felicity lived a normal life until one day she was attacked and killed by a man when she was on the hike. However, some nearby hawks broght her back to life and gave her the ablity to fly. Now Felicity flies around the city of Seattle saving people. People know her as the Human Hawk. I would like Felicity's significant other to have a different power. The letter W might be nice.

W: Orli Rainbow
H: OOrli Rainbow has the power to manipulate light. Although this can be great, for example, getting changed in PE as a child and not wanting anyone to see, it can also be annoying when she does it by accident. Orli is slowing managing to control when she manipulates the light, but it takes a lot of practice. Sometimes, instead of just changing the light in a room, she changes the whole house. Either way, Orli loves having super powers :)

I love the name! Orli's H has the ability to orb objects where ever he wants, but he can't do it himself.

Hi everyone I'm Kali Sakti but people also know me as Nightstar.The superhero with the ability to control kenectic engery.
I used to be a villian but then I met a little boy who changed my life...We had captured the son of the worlds top superhero he was a young teenager at the time(still in training). The whole world was expecting great things from him.We had no idea how powerful he was. While we left the room he manged to get out of the trap and hack into our computers to contact his parents. We found him before they showed up. "What are you doing" I asked him. "Trying to get out." he said. "Why?" My henchman asked. I glared at him. "I'm not gonna stay here and let you hurt me."he said."Think about it all your doing is hurting yourself's because somthing happened to you in your lifetime. You're not really evil, you're just upset,hurt,and confused because some one who had no right hurt you did it anyway, and now your turning around and doing the same thing that they did to you to others." At that moment his parents burst in. I didn't fight what the you boy said had changed my life. I kept my evil villian name as my cover and turned good. I am Nightstar and I am a superhero.

You can get married whenever you want. In fact you don't even need to get married if you just want to have a significant other. whenever you decide you're ready just give me a letter. :) Great backstory. I love the evil girl turned good.

My name is Cynthia Artemis Schovajsa. I guess it's appropriate that I'm named after the most famous twin in Greek Mythology, because I can make a twin of my own whenever I want.The first time my power came to light was when I was three years old. I had climbed under the fence into our neighbor's yard, and one of their goats was loose. It chased me all the way across the yard, and then, when I was getting desperate, another me appeared and ran in the opposite direction. I went back under the fence, and my "twin" disappeared. My "twin" popped up various times throughout my childhood. Once when I had to go visit an elderly woman with my mother, my "twin" appeared and took my place. When I was a freshman, a senior I hated asked me to homecoming. By then, I could partially control my "twin", who I forced to go to the dance in my place. My "twin" would probably also be quite useful in proccuring an alibi should I ever need one. I've never had a problem with anyone noticing that there's two of me, for some reason. I've not figured out how that's possible, considering some of my teenage antic, but I'm certainly not complaining!
DH: Z
vote up1
I love the name. Artemis has always been one of my favorites. Both the name and the mythical person. Cynthia's H has the power to hypnotize or mesmerize. Okay, it's a little farfetched. I used the fact when you're hypnotized you're kind of asleep and in cartoons they always use Zs to mean the person is asleep.

My name is Hera Skuld, or Time of Destiny. I don't remember when I learned to jump; I think I've always had this power, but I've just recently learned to harness it and use it for my own. I remember in school that I would suddenly be ripped out of the classroom and into another time. I could be there for hours, but I always got back to class a split second after I left. Now I've found another of my kind, Hector Horatius, Fast Time. We have begun working together. It is difficult to land in exactly the same time and place, so we're working on that. Our goal is to make the world a better place, even if it means changing the past to do it.

Great backstory! Hold on the SO for now. that's the next step. I'm assuming you want him to have the same power as you, though :)

I know from all the movies and comic books and stuff that you're never supposed to tell anyone about these kinds of things--just look at how it works out when people find out you're some kind of freak. But I can't deal with this any more by myself, and I need to tell somebody, and I guess you'll be who. Consider yourself dead if you tell anyone, and I'm not kidding about that.My name's Mina. (Adamina Maura Kerr if you need the long version. My dad's name is Adam, see, and he had kind of an ego.) I'm twenty-three years old and still in school; becoming a doctor takes forever, and I've only really just begun. I've got dark brown hair in a shaggy mess around my face and dark blue eyes (if you can find them under all the hair). And...well, I'm different.I don't know how to explain it except that I'm weird. Some kind of freak. I noticed when I was little that when I was excited about something, the floor would tremble a little. As I got older, it got worse--but I could control it more. I could make the ground shake if I wanted, and it sometimes would whether I wanted to or not. The night I won concert tickets off the radio, I broke my mother's favourite lamp.I've been trying to hide it from everyone, even my parents. I mean, I'm sure they've noticed, but we lived in San Francisco (I'm over in Chicago now), and I tried to play up the tremors thing as much as I could. Where I live now, I try and blame it on the El...and I try as much as I can not to lose my temper or get too into anything. It doesn't work that great--I'm a pretty passionate person--but I've spent enough years trying to control this weirdness that even when I do lose my cool, it doesn't do too much, usually.I wish I could stop it. I hate it. It's weird. But I can't. So I'm Mina with a secret she'd like to lose, and you are going to keep it if you know what's good for you.--Adamina Maura Kerr = "to make great rough wet ground"--that is, an earthquake (apparently in the rain). :DHer significant other--let's make it a gentleman--would like the letter, um.

Veda Darshana Adams- 24Veda means "Knowledge", Darshana means "seeing, understanding", and the last name Adams comes from "Adam" which means "man." So, putting them together, Her name means, knowledge, and understanding of all man (human kind).Veda is an Omnilinguist, meaning she can understand and speak any and all Human languages. Her childhood was not pleasant. She did not have the power to control her Onmilinguism, so she often spoke in different languages quite randomly and frequently. Her parents realized her ability when she was quite young, and were, well "freaked out." They thought she was going insane, or speaking in tongues. When she was about 8 years old, they placed her into a mental hospital. In the hospital, she had very a very difficult time trying to convince the doctors that she was not insane, and that her bouts of speaking in foreign languages were not her having "spells" or "seizures." In the three years she spent there, she learned to control her language. Downtrodden, she actually stopped using her power, for fear of her parents or someone thinking she was insane again. As soon as she graduated from high school, she left her parents. She decided that she wanted to use her powers fully, and make a difference in the world. After traveling, literally, all around the world, meeting people from all different countries, cultures and languages, she settled down and began to work with the United Nations, as an Interpreter of course. Although this job is exciting, she hopes to one day, do something a little more...unconventional...with her powers!Veda would also like to find another extraordinary person to spend her life with. DH: ? superpower with the letter "T"

Tanith Althea Novotny - 23Tanith means "serpent lady". Most lizards and serpents can regenerate. Salamander means "fire within" and the goddess Althea was told that she would die by being set on fire, so she hid the piece of wood, but took it out and set it alight and it killed her son. The lastname Novotny means "new".Tanith Althea Novotny is 23 years old. Tanith has the power of regeneration, which means that she can grow new limbs if they are lost. Luckily, Tanith doesn't have to do that too much. Another that goes which regeneration, if she breaks a limb, it will becomed healed. Tanith would like to meet someone that has a different power. ---
Tanith wants a DH

Me: Calliope Blackbird Rhinthon ( Calliope=voice Blackbird=obvious Rhinthon= part of the name of a genus of butterfly)I'd like a DH with some other power... how about 'O'?I hope I did this right!
Hello. My name is Calliope Blackbird Rhinthon, but you can call me Cali. I’m going to confide in you and you alone. I am assured that you will be sworn to secrecy—what I’m about to tell you I’ve never told to any creature that can intelligently speak English.Of course, I’ve confided in my dog, the tigers at the zoo, a random passing bluebird… alright, I can talk to animals. It’s weird I know—I was born with it. The one doctor my parents took me to who actually believed us said it was a ‘genetic anomaly.’ I was only eight at the time, and had no idea what it meant. Now of course I do, but… well, I haven’t gone to any other doctors since then and talked about my… condition.My first awareness of my power came when I was about five years old. I was at the zoo with my parents. I could hear the polar bears talking about how they were sick of the same sort of fish being served to them every day, so I suggested that my parents ask the zoo keepers to change up the menu. They laughed at me, but as my… ‘attacks’ as my parents called them… grew more and more frequent, we were forced to look into more serious things.The birds talk the most I think. People think they sing, but most of the time they just argue—“That seed was mine”“No it wasn’t bird brain!”“Was that supposed to be an insult?”“Maybe!”As you can tell, they aren’t very bright.Anyway, my parents never really believed me. I think that one doctor did, but I’ll never be sure. I think he just wanted a hundred dollars in quick money. Now I’m on my own, and I honestly am not sure what I’m supposed to do.I’m majored in zoology in college (I know, very creative…) and graduated at the top of my class. That of course, was only because I could talk to the animals. I work at the zoo, but it’s getting rather—for lack of a better word—noisy. It’s difficult to think when you hear the monkeys chattering about the rotten bananas, the penguins about how tap dancing really isn’t there thing, the lions about how boring the self-heated rock is getting… so I’m thinking about quitting my job.
