Ororo Munroe
"Storm"
Name: Ororo Munroe
Nicknames:Goddess, Mistress of the Elements, Princess of N'Dare, High Priestess
Gender: Female
Age: 26
Affiliation: X-men
Personality: Ororo is best described as a woman who is calm and level headed. She always seems to be able to keep her cool in dire situations and gives off a calming vibe to those around her. Rarely do situations get under her skin and if they do she hides it behind an air of cool calmness, keeping her emotions to herself as she becomes focused, disciplined, and dedicated to the things she does. Ororo is ideally someone who carries themselves with grace, dignity, and poise befitting a queen, or in her case the title of a goddess.
Storm knows she's powerful and beautiful, she knows the allure she can have on others around her but she is quite humble and has a good heart. She is the kind of person who would be willing to listen to another's problems or seemingly act as a motherly figure to those around her. She may be stern at times but she is firm and never truly aggressive or harsh, rather acting more as a gentle guiding hand and patiently helping others through mistakes. Her patience, calmness, and caring nature seem to make Storm out to be almost not just an ideal being on top of having power but she also has a natural affinity towards leadership that adds to it.
Behind all this though, Storm is just like everyone else. She can become angered and upset, frustrated, everything another person can feel and usually hides this behind her calm façade. Though they will occasionally slip through the cracks she is not above holding a grudge or hating someone but she is most often merciful to enemies, preferring to give them a warning than kill. This usually requires dire circumstances to resort to something like that. Above all, Storm does show dislike for things, especially humans for the hatred and fear of their kind. But Storm must keep her emotions in check due to her deep empathic, psychic link to the Earth otherwise she could unleash hell on the world from such emotions.
Appearance: Ororo is a beautiful young African American woman of Kenyan and American descent standing at 5'11" and is physically fit, being toned, lithe, and lean. She is taller than most women and has unusual features normally seen in witches which is white hair and deep blue eyes coming from her mystic heritage. Her hair is long and reaches down past her buttocks leading her to normally have it up in a pony tail but normally she lets it flow freely. Her attire normally consists of formal casual or formal attire but she doesn't mind wearing casual things either, which her wardrobe has a healthy mix of everything, most especially dresses and attire hailing back to her tribal patron roots.
Her suit for the X-men is also pretty simple if being a little more showy than her usual attire. The top and bottom pieces are made of a flexible leather-like material with the top being a mid-driff tank top with a gold colored metal following along the neckline and meets at the point just above her bosom into a gold metal circle. Within the circle is a black metal X symbol. The bottom reaches down to her ankles with the outer side of the thigh area opened and exposing the skin beneath with light weight gold metal boots she uses that come up to her knee with a built in segmented knee pad. With it she wears a pair of leather-like material from her wrists to her elbows with gold metal gauntlets that are slightly thicker and armored covering her hands to halfway up her lower arm.

History: Ororo Munroe was born to David Munroe and N'Dare Munroe when the couple was living in Manhattan, New York before moving to Cairo when Ororo was still very much an infant. The two would find work within the local area, often with her father serving as a photojournalist as he had done in America and they seemed to live a relatively normal life until the family became caught in an Arab-Israeli Conflict, being unable to escape in time and their house was caught in the crossfire of a bomb. The collapsed building killed her parents instantly while N'Dare protected her daughter with her body and a five year old Ororo was trapped beneath the rubble for sometime, become extremely scared of enclosed spaces of which she would hold a lifelong phobia as she grew up. But she eventually managed to get out with some aide and was taken to an orphanage of which she didn't stay long before she ran away.
Achmed El Gibar would be the one to find Ororo trying to survive on the streets in Cairo and introduced her to other street urchins who worked under him for protection and shelter, becoming part of them when she had no where else to go. Gibar essentially became her unofficial foster father and began learning the tricks of the trade to pick pocket and steal from tourists, merchants, and vendors, whether it was food, drinks, money, or other valuables it didn't matter. It was mostly here that Storm grew up, gradually reaching puberty to where her powers manifested at thirteen years old and where she realized then that Gibar wasn't entirely who he said he was. Despite him being harsh she realized like herself he was a psychic entity known as the Shadow King manipulating the children of Cairo. Disgusted at this discovery she used her new found abilities to force him from her mind, shocking Gibar but angering him to the point he tried to attack the young Ororo but she fought back, knocking him unconscious and quickly leaving Cairo.
But after leaving, the young teenager began to feel a tug on her very soul it felt like and curious she began to follow it. She hitchhiked most of the way and survived using her skills as a thief until she was able to get a ride from a trucker going cross country. Upon arriving to the nearest location to where she needed to be though the man tried to take advantage of her and rape her but Ororo quickly retaliated in killing the man with a single blast of lightning. In utter shock and fear she bolted into the nearby wilderness, continuing on foot and surviving on the wild. She even narrowly avoided an encounter with the Prince of Wakanda and in fact encountered some of the kingdom's warriors who helped the girl out.
Directed towards another old kingdom in Kenya, Ororo trekked there and after a year finally came across the village by chance. But the people were in fear for her life as the rightful heir of the kingdom was in danger of her uncle Shetani going after her. Worried for her people Ororo challenged the man to a duel, using skills she learned from her time in Cairo and her mutant powers to best him in combat, exiling him rather than killing him, having sworn to never kill another soul if she could avoid it. Thus, Ororo would spend the next nine years under Ainet, the village priestess who would become her foster mother and mentor who trained her in how to better control her abilities and even helping her to tap into a small bit of her mystical heritage. This was directed through an heirloom to her family which was an ancestral ruby of which Ororo had made into a necklace to always have it close to her heart.
At twenty years old though, Ororo began to become the Mistress of the Elements and tribal patrol to her people, protecting them and helping them to live a bountiful life that she took great pride in. Though, this wasn't to last as strangers from the outside approached the kingdom, being brought before Ororo who introduced themselves as X-men and to what they were made for. Curiosity peaked, Ororo decided it was time she got to see the world and left Ainet in her stead, promising to visit her people often but knew this experience was necessary. So, the young woman left her kingdom behind and traveled to Westchester, New York to attend the School for Gifted Youngsters and was made an official member of the X-men.
Super Powers:
Atmokinesis: Ororo is befitting her codename much less being called a Goddess by some. She is an omega-level mutant with the power to psionically control the weather patterns on a planet. That is, she has a deep psychic link to the electromagnetic, magnetic, and ozone layers in the planet to the point she is utterly in control of the elemental phenomenon that make up the weather and making her acutely aware of the environment around her. She is so in tune with these meteorological events that they can be controlled with a simple thought or based on her emotions alone as if she were Mother Nature herself.
+Electrokinesis: Storm can generate and manipulate all forms of electricity, from a lightning storm to things such as electrical currents in electronics. She is capable of absorbing the electricity into her body and either empowering her attacks or redirecting it, serving as a conduit to channel the electricity in her body without ill effects. She can cast bolts of lightning, generate it into a lightning storm, or waves of electricity. She is also capable of shaping this energy into a variety of things, from weapons to shields, making her able to "sculpt" the energy as she sees fit and command it where to strike and control it's potency.
++Electrokinetic Combat: Ororo is capable of using the electricity in order to increase her agility and speed along with enhancing her strikes with an electrifying effect to it. She also can generate a kind of "armor" that prevents most from getting close to her and serves as extra protection or she can extend this to creating a force field around others.
++Telepathy Resistance: Due to the electrical currents she works with, Ororo can block out powerful telepaths due to the electric static visible in her brain, though this is supplemented by her own strong will.
+Aerokinesis: Ororo can also command the very winds of which she can bend to her will or generate on her own. She is capable of firing powerful tornado-like vortexes from her hands or calling upon storm clouds in order to create several tornadoes or a hurricane by will of thought. She can make simple to powerful gusts that knock people off their feet or can send others back, create blades of wind, or even create powerful vortexes that serve as protection against others. Ororo is also capable of stopping the wind to such an accurate point that she can prevent someone from breathing or devoid an area of any wind at all, causing a suffocating effect to potentially kill. She is also able to create a wind strong enough to lift her whole body, simulating flight and go as fast as a SR-71 Blackbird while protected from the G-force winds.
++Aero-Telekinesis: Ororo can focus on certain objects or beings in order to lift them with powerful concentrations of the wind that simulate telekinesis and move them about or hurl them away. This goes the same for her ability to fly.
+Hydrokinesis: Ororo can also control water to a point she can manipulate it from the very air. She is capable of creating storm clouds, creating jets or blasts of water, causing rain to fall, and manipulating water vapor. Essentially, she can control water as a solid, liquid, or gaseous state and change them to either one if she wishes to, extending her control to even ice. She is able to control bodies of water on a massive scale, such as controlling ocean currents or creating tsunamis that could easily crush a city if she so wished.
+Temperature Resistance: Ororo can also withstand extreme temperatures of hot and cold, protecting herself from severe or extreme weather conditions unlike most.
+Earth Link: The best explanation of explaining Storm's psychic bond to Earth's biosphere and primal forces of nature, seeming almost an empathic bond to all living things and seemingly the universe. Storm can sense life force through this link, allowing her to sense natural phenomena to knowing when a living being, such as an animal, plant, or human is dying or close to death. She can also sense disturbances in wind and water patterns from several thousand miles away and is able to sense when storms are approaching.
+Energy Vision: Storm can also view the world in various forms of energy, allowing her to see at night and the energy flowing through the nervous system of a human or other being.
Minor Magic User: Storm is also capable of using magic, although unlike her mutant abilities this power has barely been tapped into and falls along the long line of Priestesses and Sorceresses within her family line. Thus far, she has been capable of generating elemental spells, mainly those fall out of her control such as fire, earth, metal, etc. and has also dabbled into spells that strengthen her already formidable mutant powers mainly to help her stamina and energy output. She also uses magic to help in teleportation for a quicker form of travel from one spot to another across a planet.
Weaknesses:
+One of the most obvious weaknesses for Storm is a severe claustrophobia. She hates being in enclosed spaces thanks to what happened in her childhood and this is so debilitating she can lose control or lose all concentration.
+Storm also has to be mindful of her emotions, often having to rein in her most extreme emotions due to the fact she is so in tuned to the planet on a empathic and psionic level that to lose control could result in local and sometimes national incidents.
+Despite all the power at her finger tips with her mutant abilities, Storm usually concentrates herself to local or state-wide control as messing with the natural balance tends to affect other areas or exhausts her to the point she passes out. And if she were to try a global scale it may take her days to recover or she has theorized could potentially kill her from overexertion.
+Storm's tapping into magic is useful but she rarely ever uses it unless to give something of variety in her attacks and usually it is basic elemental spells, locomotion, or to enhance her stamina when it comes to her mutant powers.
