There Must Always Be Hope! (Shounen Superhero Quest)

Considering the vote closes in a bit, not too hopeful about a win, but wth.

--Kara 'Sundance' Latona
Gender: Female
Description: 5'9", with broad shoulders and prominent cheekbones. Shoulder-length bleached blonde hair, and brown eyes that bear flecks of electric green. She is a fiery personality whose quickness with a cocky rejoinder has earned her many punches in the mouth, though she gives as good as she gets. Or, when outclassed, she tries to. She is a chainsmoker, and gets most of her calories from beer. She's been charitably described as "rough around the edges".

What is the origin of your powers?
[X] Imbued : This was nothing you did. Someone else - or something - granted you these abilities. Whether it was voluntary or not, an indelible mark was left on you. Who knows, perhaps one day the one who granted your power might come to claim his payment.

What was your empowerment like?
[X] Traumatic : This was forced upon you. Whether others intentionally induced your specific powers or whether these powers are a reaction to the threat is uncertain, though.

What is your powerset?
-- Fire/Electric. After the event, sparks spontaneously erupt from her hands and fingers. Sometimes it goes nowhere. Sometimes she can light a cigarette. Sometimes she electrocutes the family pet, and in her panic, proceeds to burn the house down. It seems like drinking helps. So far.

[X] Nick 'the Fury' Brando (He keeps trying, but that nickname will never catch on)
[X] Male
[X] Muscled like a blond-haired greek god. He's been trying to grow a beard (the spirits assure him that all men of stature wear beards) but it is as yet a sad and pathetic scruff.

[X] Mystical : Your ability comes to you through the power of mental and magical aptitude, tapping into the energy of the mind and the cosmos. Although you are not fully aware of why you gained this ability, you can sense its endless potential.

[X] Elective : These powers were hard-won, and though you are still at work on perfecting them to an acceptable level, you have something.
-[X]
Mystic Kung Fu. He learned it from ghosts, who raised him from childhood. He tells people this, but for some reason no one believes him. Possibly because he hasn't yet figured out how to make them manifest themselves to other people.

[X] Name: Marcus Atherton
[X] Gender: Male

[X] Ridiculously Average Guy

I was going to suggest a speedster build anyway, (cuz it's awesome)

Speedsters are great because when use effectively their powers can be incredibly powerful, but they can still be threatened.

Lots of speedsters go with a red outfit, so I think we should go blue, (maybe something like blue superman but without the S?)
Assuming that we don't just go full on flash.

Come on people, Celestial Powers are vague as hell and scream of edgy/coolness. Let's be the guy who relied on his mind and powers, at first, rather than some bruiser type character like every other quest goes for!
 
That's why I voted for Erica Statton.

Time to glitch EVERYTHING. Missingno the world.

Who are you?
[x] Tim Corliss
[x] Male (If you weren't certain.) 21 (Old enough to be on his own.)
[x] Tim does not look imposing, being 6'0", and lacking a well defined musculature. His hair is slightly glossy, and somehow does not get in his way, despite being able to touch his nose. He appears fairly... happy.

What is the origin of your powers?
[x] Mystical :
Your ability comes to you through the power of mental and magical aptitude, tapping into the energy of the mind and the cosmos. Although you are not fully aware of why you gained this ability, you can sense its endless potential.

Tim endlessly drew circles with vaguely geometric shapes in them, spoke made up words while waving a stick around, and as many other forms of magic as a child. He didn't stop when he was an adult, but merely became more... methodical. He began recording everything he tried, and kept trying. Eventually, something worked, when he was 20. He still hasn't been able to keep at least a small smile off his face. He has spent the past year expanding on what he discovered.

And the hair? after discovering Proving that his siblings were wrong, and the magic is indeed real, his hair has began to look perfect, and getting a slightly glossy sheen. It worries him, as does the fact that his hair apparently chose to grow far longer than the norm, resisting multiple attempts to cut it. Thankfully, it stopped at roughly nose length. ("Why! Won't! You! Burn!?")

What is your powerset?


[X] Sorcery: We'll have to work for it to matter, but we've began crafting a system of magic...

I wanted at least a chance for a Magic using character, though little time remains.
 
Who are you?
Name: Simon Gray
Gender: Male
Appearance: Tall, somewhat stockily built, and in his mid-twenties, with short black hair and brown eyes. Tends to look down and hunch in on himself, as if trying to make himself seem smaller.

What is the origin of your powers?
[X] The Future: Your powers were gained by your own hand- technically speaking, at least. Whilst you gave yourself your own power, it wasn't the current you who did it; it was yourself from an indeterminate point in the future.

What was your empowerment like?
[X] Confusing: ...where did these powers come from originally? Why did future me vanish after giving me them? Does this mean I can't die until I travel back and give past me my powers? What's going on?

What is your powerset?
[X] Reversal
