Personality: Ororo is a person, who sees the potential of a person, the wonder of a single blooming tree, while able to look out over an entire forest, and see the needs of the many. With the ability to see on the grand scale perspective, there is usually an air of tranquility surrounding the snowy haired woman.

While her ability to lead, is without question, it is a matter of desire. Her desire though overall is to help. From a thirsty flower, a struggling student, an entire race of people, to her own friends. Helper, defender, champion are her callings.

By all these factors, Ororo stands by her childhood vow to not take a life, even in the defense of her own, her aim in battle while calculated, is never to kill. Her beliefs of the sacredness of human life though, is by no means an indication that she is a pacifist, or even non-aggressive. Everything has its time and place, one must simply have the wisdom to know it, or the fortitude to shoulder the consequences.
  • Likes: the beauty of nature, helping others, gardening, pictures, the setting sun
    Dislikes: tight spaces, discrimination, car exhaust, pointless arguing, failing
    Strengths: Has an extremely strong will( that also makes her resistant to psychic attacks) A skilled leader, and mediator.
    Weakness: Has claustrophobia, her fear was once so intense that she was known to revert to a fetal position and approach a catatonic state while losing control of her mutant powers. Typically cannot give into intense emotions due to the effects they have on her powers.

Power Name: Weather Manipulation
Power Type: Mental/Physical
Power Description: A mutant of renown ability, Ororo has the power to psionically manipulate weather patterns over limited areas. She can generate whirling winds in varying degrees of easily creating hurricane force, raise or lower the humidity and temperature in her surrounding area, stimulate the creation of any form of precipitation such as rain or fog, induce lightning and other electrical atmospheric phenomena, and disperse natural storms so as to create clear change. Storm can go as far as to direct the path of certain atmospheric effects, such as bolts of lightning, with her hands. While having also demonstrated the ability to manipulate ocean currents, though the extent of this ability is still unclear.

Storm’s control over the atmosphere is such that she can create certain effects over a specific area while shielding smaller areas within that region. For example, she can create a rainstorm around herself but prevent the raindrops from touching her. Ororo can also create atmospheric phenomena over very small areas, such as creating a rainstorm small enough to water a single potted plant.

Due to these abilities Storm's physiology grants her a near a total immunity to extreme weather conditions and temperatures of heat and cold. While her body naturally compensates for rapid decreases or increases in atmospheric pressure.

Power weaknesses: Sensitive to the dynamics of the natural world, Ororo shares with it a strong emotional connection that can lead to unnatural weather manifestation given an extreme emotional state and loss of control. One consequence of this connection to nature is that she often seems to suppress extreme feelings to prevent her emotional state from resulting in violent weather, really though it’s a matter of will.

She can only manipulate weather patterns as they exist in nature. For example, she can end a drought in one area by creating torrential rains there, but that would necessitate robbing all available moisture from the surrounding areas. Ororo is only able to create atmospheric conditions that exist naturally on the planet. For example, she is unable to lower temperatures as far as absolute zero or raise them to solar intensities on Earth.

Storm is limited by the force of her will and the strength of her body. It once took her several hours to stop a savage blizzard sweeping over much of Canada, and she nearly died from exhaustion in the process.


Power Name: Flight
Power Type: Physical
Power Description: 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. She 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.

Power weaknesses: Ororo's ability to manipulate the weather is affected by her emotions; thus, if she does not maintain control, a fit of rage might cause the development of a destructive storm. Ororo also suffers from severe claustrophobia and has been known to lose control during an anxiety attack.

Power Name: Visual Perceptions
Power Type: Physical
Power Description: The ability to alter her visual perception is also at Ororos’ disposal, so as to perceive electrical energy patterns as well as those factors responsible for existing meteorological phenomena in her surrounding environment.

Power weaknesses: Storm's ability to change her visual perception takes a moment of concentration where as her ability to sense disturbances in nature is innate, this ability is trained and honed and can be more difficult to summon if distracted.

History: Ororo Monroe is the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, all of whom have white hair, blue eyes. Born in Manhattan to David Monroe and N'dare, her father an American photojournalist married her mother an African princess, the young family moved to Cairo, Egypt when Ororo was six months old. During the Arab-Israeli Suez Crisis five years later, a plane crashed into their home. Ororo's parents were killed, but she survived, trapped under rubble near her mother's body. The resultant trauma left Ororo with severe claustrophobia that still affects her today.

From the rubble, the child managed to escape with only the memories and mother's ancestral ruby necklace. Suddenly finding herself alone in the world, Ororo was found by a gang of street children 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, an event that seemed to hold such little significance at the time occurred. Ororo picked the pocket of an American tourist. Truthfully it had been no easy task as he was Charles Xavier, who used his abilities to stop the theft. However at that moment of capture, Xavier was psionically attacked by another mutant and Ororo used the opportunity to escape.

Years later, the twelve year old felt a strong urge to wander south, Ororo left Cairo. Despite her time living the streets, tired and with still far to go Ororo naïvely accepted a ride from a complete stranger and was almost raped by him. Defending herself, Ororo killed the man. From that moment, she swore never to take another human life. For thousands of miles, Ororo wandered almost dying during her trek across the Sahara Desert. Her mutant ability to control the weather emerged soon after, and she was able to use them to rescue a prince of the African nation of Wakanda, T'Challa, from his would-be kidnappers. The pair spent much time together, however T'Challa's duties as a prince prevented them from further exploring their burgeoning mutual attraction.

Finally her journey was over, Ororo reached the homeland of her mother and her mothers’ people on the Serengeti Plain in Kenya. Taken in by an elderly tribal woman named Ainet, she taught the young woman to be responsible with her powers. Ororo soon came to be the object worship as a rain goddess to local African tribes, practicing nudism and tribal spirituality.

It was only shortly after the young girl settled into her role did again she meet the strange tourist she met years ago as a child. Xavier recruited Ororo explaining to her that she was not a "goddess", but a mutant, and as such she had a responsibility to use her abilities to help the world just as she had helped the local tribes. It was a claim that was curious, and wanting to see more accepted Xavier's offer, and was given the codename "Storm".

Years passed the group trained together, went on missions in secret, each learning to harness their powers and talents while they grew in age and closer to one another. Now with the school opening, new young mutants being gathered for training, for guidance, Ororo is dedicated, to the dream that binds them, to assure the sunrise of a brighter future.
