The Mutant
Codename: Storm
Mutant Abilities: Storm has the psionic ability to manipulate weather patterns over vast areas. She can stimulate the creation of any form of precipitation such as rain or fog, generate winds in varying degrees of intensity up to and including hurricane force, raise or lower the humidity and temperature, induce lightning and other electrical atmospheric phenomena, and disperse natural storms so as to create clear change. Storm can direct the path of certain atmospheric effects, such as bolts of lightning, with her hands. She has also demonstrated the ability to manipulate ocean currents, though the extent of this ability is still unclear.
Storm is able to fly by creating winds strong enough to support her weight, the weight of others, and to propel her forward through the air. Storm can thus travel as fast as any wind can, and has reached speeds up to 300 miles per hour. Her powers over the atmosphere enable her to breathe at any speed, protect her from air friction, and grant her limited immunity to extreme heat and cold.
Weaknesses: Her ability to manipulate the weather is affected by her emotions. For instance if she is angry, she could accidently cause major storms to happen. She has to always try to keep a cool head to keep disasters from happening. Storm also suffers from severe claustrophobia due to her childhood plane crash.
History: Ororo Monroe is the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, all of whom have white hair, blue eyes, and the potential to wield magic. Her mother, N'dare, was an African princess who married American photojournalist David Monroe and moved with him to Manhattan, where Ororo was born. When Ororo was six months old, she and her parents moved to Cairo, Egypt. Five years later, during the Arab-Israeli conflict, a plane crashed into their home. Ororo's parents were killed, but she survived, buried under rubble near her mother's body. Ororo managed to escape the rubble of her shattered home with nothing but the tattered clothes on her back and her mother's ancestral ruby. Homeless and orphaned, Ororo was found by a gang of street urchins who took her to their master, Achmed el-Gibar. Achmed trained Ororo in the arts of thievery and she soon became his prize pupil, excelling in picking both pockets and locks. During her time in Cairo, Ororo picked the pocket of an American tourist named Charles Xavier.
Years later, feeling a strong urge to wander south, Ororo left Cairo. During her travels, Ororo naïvely accepted a ride from a complete stranger and was almost raped by him. Forced to defend herself, Ororo killed the man. From that moment, she swore never to take another human life. Ororo wandered for thousands of miles, almost dying during her trek across the Sahara Desert. Her mutant ability to psionically control the weather emerged soon after. Finally, Ororo reached her ancestors' homeland on the Serengeti Plain in Kenya. She was taken in by an elderly tribal woman named Ainet who taught her to be responsible with her powers. Ororo soon came to be the object of worship of the local tribes who believed her to be a goddess due to her gift. For years, Ororo stayed with the tribe to help them out using her powers.
Ororo would once again cross paths with the man known as Charles Xavier when he returned to Egypt to recruit her, explaining that she wasn't a goddess at all but something called a mutant. Curious and wanting to learn more about this, she decided to leave her home and join him in the states at his institute. Ever since, Ororo has been serving as a teacher for the institute and a member of his team of mutants know as the X-Men, taking on the codename of Storm.

RP Sample:
The Xavier Institute for Gifted Youngsters had many different activities to do and gorgeous scenery all around. With the huge pool to accomodate the students, the rec room, the training fields. But the most beautiful sight of the mansion had to be the garden of Miss Ororo Munroe. It was always kept tidy and clean, the best plants growing in a happy environment. Ororo kneeled down next to a flower bed of daisies and roses, taking a whiff of the pleasant aroma. A warm smile found its way onto her soft face. "You guys are coming along quite well now. In a few more days you'll be just so big and strong."
Ororo picked up the little water kettle resting next to her left side and began pouring the substance on the plants. She hummed softly while doing so, the plants always loved that. Once the watering was done, Ororo stood up, retrieved the kettle and waved to the flowers. "Alright now, on to the next batch." Her voice was so soft and relaxing, yet strong and commanded respect. With a hand rub through her hair, the Weather Goddess moved on to water the remaining plants in her fabulous garden.
