Name(s):
Ororo Iqadi T'Challa (birth name)
Ororo Munroe
Nicknames:
Beautiful Windrider, The Weather Witch, Mistress of the Elements
Age:
29
Species:
Human Mutant
Gender:
Female
Alignment:
Good
Residence:
Africa
Occupation:
X-Men
Abilities:
Atmokinesis: Several times in the past, Storm has been described as a "sculptress". This is (arguably) the best way to describe her mutant mastery over weather, and certain forms of energy. When Storm uses her psionic powers, she sees the world as colorful, constantly changing energy patterns, rather than solid matter. These energy patterns can be "molded" to Storm's will to create a vast number of effects which mainly deal with weather manipulation. Storm is greatly in tune with nature and the elements. She can feel them, and likewise they react to her emotional state. She can manipulate weather patterns on a variety of scales, including the ability to summon large and violent thunderstorms and blizzards, as well as sleet and hail. Storm can also use the weather as a weapon; both as a means of binding, burning, and launching concussive blasts at her foes.
Flight: Storm's powers grant her the ability to fly as high as the atmosphere, which can be stretched by using her mastery over wind to manipulate the currents.
Energy Manipulation: When using her powers, Storm becomes one with the energy patterns she manipulates. This gives her the ability to project weather effects through her body. For instance, she can generate lightning, intense cold, and intense heat, from her hands rather than from her actual atmosphere. Her power over thunder has been used to create deafening sounds for distracting her enemies. She can create powerful tornadoes, hurricanes, and various winds that are capable of moving a vast number of objects and people. Her ability over water and it's forms has been shown by her creating heavy rainfall and flash floods. Control over moisture and temperature allows Storm to freeze objects and people in the blink of an eye.
Earth-Link: Storm's mutant powers has created a psychic bond between herself and the primal life force of Earth's biosphere. This bond with the Earth gives Storm spiritual and material sustenance with an almost empathic sense towards living beings.
Expert Thief: As a result of her childhood training, Storm has a certain knack for thievery; carrying with her a lockpick for picking locks apart, and generally being adept at acting stealthily.
Weaknesses:
Her most notable weakness is her claustrophobia; after the tragic passing of her parents where she ended up trapped under rubble for three whole days, tight spaces have shown to severly discomfort her, and possibly even render her panicking if trapped within one such space. In addition, her powers are directly linked with her emotions; if her emotions grow too unstable, her powers could spiral out of control and cause untold destruction.
Storm's control over the weather is limited by the force of her will and the strength of her body. In addition, she must manipulate weather patterns as they naturally exist. For example, she could end a drought in one area by creating torrential rains there, but that would necessitate robbing all available moisture from the surrounding area. She also cannot create atmospheric conditions that cannot exist naturally on the planet she is on. She could not, for example, lower temperatures as far as absolute zero or raise them to solar intensities.
Personality:
Storm is generally viewed upon as a empathic and wise character; known to be kind and act much like a mother would to her younger teammates, whilst also possessing qualities of a capable leader. After a certain incident when she was younger (which ended with her killing a thug hunting her), she swore off killing other living beings, so she could be viewed as a pacifist. Little will actually invoke Storm's ire, but the few things that do, such as attempting to harm her teammates or use her phobia against her, will unleash an unstoppable, literal force of nature.

Bio:
Ororo is the descendant of an ancient line of African priestesses, all of whom have white hair, blue eyes, and the potential to wield magic. Her mother, N'dare, was an African princess who married American photojournalist David Munroe and moved with him to Manhattan, where Ororo was born. When Ororo was six months old, she and her parents moved to Cairo, Egypt. Five years later, during the Arab-Israeli conflict, a plane crashed into their home. Ororo's parents were killed, but she survived, buried under rubble near her mother's body. The resultant trauma left Ororo with severe claustrophobia that still affects her today.
Ororo managed to escape the rubble of her shattered home with nothing but the tattered clothes on her back and her mother's ancestral ruby. Homeless and orphaned, Ororo was found by a gang of street urchins 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, Ororo picked the pocket of an American tourist. The man proved no easy mark, however, as he was Charles Xavier, a powerful mutant telepath who used his abilities to stop the theft. At that moment, Xavier was psionically attacked by another mutant and Ororo used the opportunity to escape.
Years later, feeling a strong urge to wander south, Ororo left Cairo. Ororo wandered for thousands of miles, almost dying during her trek across the Sahara Desert. Her mutant ability to psionically control the weather emerged soon after, and she was able to use them to rescue T'Challa, a prince of the African nation of Wakanda, 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, Ororo reached her ancestors' homeland on the Serengeti Plain in Kenya. She was taken in by an elderly tribal woman named Ainet who taught her to be responsible with her powers. Ororo soon came to be the object of worship of the local tribes who believed her to be a goddess due to her gift.
Years later, Ororo was forced to battle the threat of a fellow mutant weather manipulator known as Deluge, who sought revenge against humanity. With the help of several members of the team of mutant heroes known as the X-Men, Deluge was seemingly destroyed and Ororo returned to her life amongst the tribal people. The X-Men subsequently told their founder, Professor Xavier, about Storm but he declined to contact her at this point, not wanting to shock the young woman with the true nature of her powers.
Months later, however, Xavier was left with no choice but to recruit Storm and other mutants from around the world into the X-Men in order to rescue his original students from the threat of the sentient island being known as Krakoa. Xavier explained to Ororo 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. Curious, Ororo accepted Xavier's offer, and was given the codename "Storm".
Ever since that day, Storm has been perhaps one of the most valuable members of the X-Men, given her immense powers and motherly nature. However, after the explosion where Xavier and Jean Gray went missing, the team was disbanded, and Storm left to return to Africa; tending to that land whilst waiting for some revelations regarding Xavier, as she firmly believes that he's still alive somewhere.
