Altruistic Paladins wrote:I guess a better way to describe the power is that it is a superpower that is about temporarily giving small, situational powers, such as the ability to fire a gun sideways without any decrease in ability, to people.
Would that be acceptable if the power was just about everyone within a situation getting situational powers (such as the ability to fall fifty feet and suffer no injury) and just leave out the aspects of the power that manipulate the environment?
Empowering others would be acceptable.

Gender: Male
Age: 17
Nationality: American
Height: 6 feet
Weight: Slightly underweight
Hair: Black
Eyes: Glowing green
Abilities:
Flight: Due to being born with wings, Narain can fly.
Armor: Narain can create a layer of armor around him. This armor is strong, but not impenetrable. (see 'costume' for armor appearance)
Action Copying: Narain can replicate an action or movement after seeing it just once. Such as, if he watches a kung-foo scene on a movie, he'll be able to replicate those moves. Downside of this power is that he can only remember something for one day. The next morning his knowledge of how to do whatever he had learned will be gone.
Dorm: Hero
Brief Bio: Narain was born with wings and glowing green eyes. His parents helped him hide this, supporting him rather then hating him for being mutated or something. At first he didn't understand why he had to hide, the ability to fly being normal to him, but as he got older, he began to understand, and kept his differences hidden. He was homeschooled, but when he did leave the house, he would wear a sort of strap halter to keep his wings in place, and wore contacts to hide his eyes. Life continued on that way until he was 14. He didn't mind having to hide, as it was just kind of part of who he was, but one day everything changed in an instant. It happened in the middle of the night, and he was using his powers to memorize some badass sword fighting moves, just to be badass for a few hours before going to sleep. Suddenly he heard a scream from his parent's room, and ran in to see his mom collapsing to the floor beside his dad, who was already dead. From the shadows on the other side of the room, he saw chilling, ice-blue eyes watching him, blood-soaked sword in hand. Narain raised his own sword, which he had been using to practice the moves he had memorized, just as the person attacked him. The fight lasted a while, Narain using his wings and newly learned sword fighting skills, and the killer using his masterful and long-practiced skills. Eventually, though, Narain's knowledge began to slip, and his fighting became sloppier as he began to forget some of the moves. He was quickly overpowered, the killer's blade slicing across his throat. He collapsed next to his parents, choking and gasping with his hand on his throat. The only thing that stopped the killer from finishing him off was the fact that the police arrived just then. A neighbor had heard his mom's scream and called the police. The last thing Narain remembers is hearing the police outside the door and seeing the killer jump out the window before he lost consciousness.
Some time later, he awoke in the hospital. His grandparents were there, and they were so relieved when he woke up, telling him he was very lucky to be alive. A while later, he went to live with his grandparents, who were fairly rich and had manged to convince the hospital not to mention anything about his wings and eyes to anyone. Due to the damage done to his throat, Narain was now unable to talk. He and his grand parents learned sign language, and life went on. Eventually Narain discovered that the man who had killed his parents was a man by the name of Leroy Talisman, and decided that he was going to try to find him and make him pay. A few years later, he decided to go to the Academy for the Empowered to improve his powers and his chances of actually being able to face Leroy when he finds him. Little did he know that there was a nasty surprise waiting for him at the school....

Name: Alexander Nylund
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Nationality: Swedish
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 9 st
Abilities: Wing Manifestation - the ability to have wings burst forth from or detach from his back.
Aerial Adaptation - The ability to survive in high altitudes with no impact on his body (lack of oxygen, low pressure, etc.)
Dorm: Hero
Brief Bio: Alex is a quiet teen, who tends to keep to himself when in class, and spends most of his free time on the internet, or lying on his bed, listening to music. He grew up in Toronto, Canada, with Swedish parents who moved there before he was born. He lived most of his childhood as a regular kid, living in Toronto, until one day he simply woke up, and upon scratching his back, he realised that two wings, almost as large as him were protruding from his back. Upon realising this, he leapt from his bed, and leaned against the door, only to see the wings lying there on the bed, detached from his back. He, like any 9 year-old boy would, ran into his parents room to get them to see. But, upon returning to the room with his confused parents, the wings emitted a bright light, causing the three to cover there eyes, and when they looked back, the wings were gone. His parents, confused by all of this, kept his powers a secret to the neighborhood for as long as they could, but Alex's cover was eventually blown when he tried to leap out of his bedroom window and fly down the street. He made it some distance, before crashing through the roof of his neighour's house, some three doors down. His parents were forced to send him to the Super-Hero High when he turned 11, and he has lived there ever since, keeping in contact with his family via Skype, and other forms of communication. Although he can stand high altitude conditions, he still requires some oxygen to breathe, and is as vulnerable to radiation as any other human, so he regrets that cannot fly out of the station to visit his parents in person.
Accepted.
