Secret: Ororo Munroe is the mutant weather witch known as Storm, and a longtime member of the X-Men, a group who fight to protect a world that hates and fears them.

Background: An Overview

Ororo Munroe is the daughter of an American photojournalist and a Kenyan tribal princess. When she was a small child, her family lived in Cairo, where a bombing claimed the lives of her parents. Left to fend for herself, Ororo took to the streets and was eventually taken in by a group of young thieves. She became their most accomplished member, but was seized by wanderlust and left to find her true purpose.

After some time wandering Africa as a free spirit, Ororo's mutant powers began to manifest, giving her control over the weather. She was worshipped as a goddess by an African tribe, and was content to lose herself in the role and believe her own hype. When she was around 18, Professor Charles Xavier came to her, having found her via Cerebro, to explain to her that she was a mutant and recruit her to his second generation of X-Men.

For around ten years now, Ororo has served the X-Men as Storm. She works tirelessly to defend the rights and safety of mutants and build lasting peace between them and humanity.

Powers

Weather Control
Storm is generally considered to be an "Omega-level" mutant: that is, one whose raw power is among the uppermost tier of the uppermost tier of mutantkind. This tracks, as she is able to do no less than control the weather around her.

Storm essentially has an innate telepathic rapport with the weather systems of the landscape around her. Through her thoughts, she can command the weather to behave in enhanced or atypical ways. She can turn a drizzle into a deluge, or she can bring snow to the desert. She can summon lightning from thin air, and she can make an indoor room so humid you can chew the air.

Ororo's control of the weather comes at a cost. She is not CREATING new weather wholecloth. Instead, what her weather control does is manipulate existing weather patterns and move elements around. If she makes it rain in one place for a week, she is pulling that precipitation away from other areas and will leave them suffering a drought. Ororo must always be careful and judicious in her weather manipulation for precisely this reason.

Ororo is able to resist extreme temperatures and other ill effects of weather exposure. Through her connection to the weather systems of the world around her, she can 'read' the weather and predict it with dead-on accuracy. Through years of practice and training with the X-Men, her control of weather phenomena is precise enough that she can use her powers in one-on-one combat, such as firing targeted lightning bolts or flash-freezing things, or in a more utilitarian way, such as using a focused but strong wind to move rubble.

---

Flight
By manipulating the wind in very specific, controlled ways, Storm can fly. This "flight" is really more just "riding" the wind, but it still gets her places in a jiffy, and her body can withstand the rigors of flying unassisted and keeping pace with, say, one of the X-Men's specialized mission jets.

Skills

Combat
Storm has been an X-Man for nearly a decade. Through countless missions and training exercises in the Danger Room, she has become a fearsome opponent. Not only can Storm use her powers to devastating effect in combat situations, she's also a very skilled unarmed fighter, whose martial prowess is enhanced by a willingness to fight dirty when the situation warrants.

---

Thievery
As a child urchin on the streets of Cairo, Ororo Munroe was taken in by a group of young thieves who were tutored by a local master. She took to thievery like a child prodigy. Though she has not particularly tried to keep up on the ins and outs of, say, robbing a high-security bank vault, she is at an intensely high level when it comes to picking pockets, sleight of hand, simple B&E, and other acts of stealth and treachery. She keeps a set of lockpicks on her at all times, and is good enough with them that even if her hands are bound, she can use them to pick locks while holding them between her teeth.

Resources

X-Man
Storm is a senior member of the X-Men in good standing. She has access to all of the resources that this covers, from training in the Danger Room to a credit card hooked up to Xavier's megabucks.

---

Goddess
In Kenya, Ororo is still known as the "weather goddess." While no one at the time really believed that she was a goddess and instead just allowed a super-powered teenager to play the role to her heart's content, in the time since she has moved away to America, the "myth" about her has grown and it can be invoked by her to achieve various things in the right crowds.

Pros

Magic
Ororo comes from a lineage of priestesses, sorceresses, and witches. (This is why she has blue eyes and white hair.) She has tremendous magickal POTENTIAL, but currently has not pursued it in any meaningful way.

---

Willpower
Ororo has an iron will akin to that of a Green Lantern. More than simply being "a goddess," it is through willpower and discipline alone that Ororo is able to keep from royally screwing up the weather patterns around her every time she uses her powers. Ororo's will is not something that can be broken, and when her mind is set to something, even if it's simply survival, she will not give up.

Cons

Ego
Ororo spent her teenage years being paid tribute to as a goddess. Now, close to age 30, she has grown considerably, but she can still behave… well… "goddess"-y. To those who don't know Ororo well, she can come off as aloof and full of herself. Those who stick around will realize that there is far more to her than that first impression, but all the same, she's someone who's used to being respected (if not obeyed) and expects this of the world around her.

---

Moods
A drawback of Ororo's relationship with the weather is that her moods can affect the weather around her. Unless she maintains rigorous self-discipline, the world around her will match what she's feeling. For example, if she was to be completely unguarded, Ororo feeling sad might make the skies darken above where she is. While she's normally quite on the ball here, extreme emotions might cause her control to slip, or impairments of her self-control (such as being drunk). Ororo does her best to avoid all of this, but sometimes it cannot be helped.

---

Mutant
Storm is a mutant. Those who hate and fear mutants would thus hate and fear her. Killer robots with genetic scanners would consider her a prime target. Foes of mutantkind and the X-Men are foes of hers.
