Name: Jonathon "Johnny" Finch
Power: Memory manipulation: Johnny has the power to alter the memories of both people he is interacting with and of himself. This takes two forms. The first is memory deletion, in which John looks through the memories of a person and precisely excises a certain point or sequence of points. The result is a total inability of the brain to recall whatever was destroyed, erasing the memory permanently. The second aspect is memory alteration, which can be conflated with a third, imaginary power: memory recovery.
Memory alteration allows two options; the first is to change a memory to be anything he would like it to be. The second is fabricating an entirely new memory, either using the basic fuzz left over from a total or partial deletion, or from a more complicated insertion of an entirely new memory. Whichever used is then adopted as memory by the brain as new memory. The confusion can arise when people, having no way of remembering what is no longer a part of their memory, or differentiating an inserted thought from their past, think that what he has created is in fact a recovered memory. In truth, there is no process to recover a destroyed or forgotten memory.
The limitations of this power are as such. First, without preparation, only casual memories, recent memories, or memories being actively considered can be manipulated. This might be the location of ones keys, something someone just said, what a painting you just saw was of, if they had just seen Johnny, or even why they feel a certain way. The simpler or fresher the memory, the easier it is to change.
Second, to achieve a deep memory probe at least some amount of mental concentration is needed, which is limiting to movement and speech; that said, no physical or visual contact is needed for this power to work. So long as John can visualize what he is doing, he can probe a mind of someone nearby. Once a deep memory probe is commenced, a person memories can be searched through going as far back as they remember, and can be altered as is seen fit by Johnny. Should his actions result in a mental conflict for the afflicted, Jonathon feels a slight ringing and a mental "push" towards the problem. He can either resolve it or allow the mind to reconcile the problem itself; surprisingly the mind works well at making even nonsensical alterations fit within the mental narrative.
Thirdly, the reach of this power is effective until about ~25 feet.
Finally, the changes this power makes do not align well with the passage of time, and the changes are as fast as John thinks of them. As such if he goes into ones mind with something prepared then even large changes can be quick. However, if he has to find a memory and then come up with a new narrative, the process can take longer than one would think, depending on how creative he is.
RP Sample: I haven't been on this for a while now, so I don't know if old material is much of a representation of me anymore. But if you would like I will link it.

Name:
Jeremy Lindall
Power:
Sevenfold Flash
Sevenfold Flash, as he will come to call his cool new power, allows Jeremy to move his body at a truly ridiculous speed, for a single second at a time. This isn't enough time for him to cover a great distance, but it's enough to give him a significant edge in a fight, letting him get close enough to an enemy to hit with his bokken, dodge what would normally be extremely difficult to evade, and swing with inhuman speed.
Unfortunately, there is a cool down of ten seconds after each use, which can mean the difference between life and death in a real fight. extensive use will can also leave him exhausted, so it isn't beneficial to use it too often anyway. Finally, the one second limit doesn't really leave him with enough time to correct himself, so if he flashes in a direction, he has to stick with it.
The reason he calls it Sevenfold Flash is that it causes his body, along with anything he's holding, to glow with the colours of the rainbow. Deciding that rainbow flash didn't sound as cool, he went for the weebier sounding name.

Name:
Hannah Washburn
Power:
Monster Strength
Hannah's power has about as much nuance as the girl herself. Instead of a complicated power with a bunch of different factors, Hannah is just strong.
Very strong…
Hannah's punches are strong enough to shatter stone and fold some weaker metals like a tissue. They can even send small shockwaves for about a meter, which while not to damaging in their own right are still strong enough to push weaker opponents backwards. Her grip strength is also something to be reckoned with, and if she were to grab a tree and something trying to move away, such as a ship, the tree would be torn from the ground before her grip failed. Finally, she can lift things at least fifty times her weight.
However, this power has a few problems, namely that… well… she's not entirely sure how to turn it off, if she even can. After obtaining the power, she will find that she ends up breaking things a lot more, and while it's still a lot of help in combat, it makes life away from the fighting a little more difficult… In addition, this ridiculous strength takes a lot of energy to keep up, and she will often find herself getting exhausted if a fight takes too long. She can get around this somewhat by eating a lot, but even then, its not so much something that helps in the fight as it does afterwards.

A few things, mainly about the power. First it is to broad, pick either memory deletion or memory alteration. And if you go with alteration, it can not include fabricating new memories, as that is not alteration but creation. As for the limitations, the third limitation is not quite limiting enough, it should be only effective via touch.

How big are the stones she can break with one punch? No to the shockwaves from her punches.
How big of a tree?
No to the fifty times. At most I'll allow ten times.

I've edited the rest of it in, but just to answer the other questions, I've decided to make the ridiculous speed about 200 km/h, which would let him move about three metres in the second he has. For the tree, it'd be a pretty large tree, but she wouldn't be able to lift that tree once it's out, or at least not without the ships help. I dunno, I'm not great with science, particularly physics.
