(OK, i'll bite. I'm GMing a game, so it'll be nice to see it from another angle. Wouldn't suggest using actual episodes from the series, though. Just a suggestion)

Name: Sam Reed
Birthday: 15th Feburary 1991
Age: 16 years old
Power: Reactive Evolution
Life Story: Born to a loving mother and father in Chicago, Sam was an adapter. He could run when needed, jump high when he wanted and just do what he needed, when he wanted. He had a close circle of friends who kept close and did everything together. Little else is truly known about Sam, until his power manifested.
Discovery Story: Sam and his friends were playing in the park. They were 12 or 13. They thought they could do anything. It was when they were talking, that a fire came about in one of the nearby buildings. Naturally, Sam and his friends went along to see what was happening. They got too close and a huge fire came roaring out the front door. Sam was unscathed, his powers manifesting just then. His friends were not as lucky. They were burnt to a crisp. In horror, Sam ran. He just kept running faster and faster, without tiring, he ran. Sam, to this day, is nowhere longer than a few weeks.

Name- Britt Reid
B-day- March 15, 1986
age- 21
power- Mechanical Energy Perception

Discovery story- When he discovered that what he did was extraordinary at the age of 18 when he graduated MIT. He was on the cusp of inventing a machine that could rip a hole in the space time continuum, realizing that what he would do would destroy the very fabric of the universe he decided that his powers were too great and turned his powers to hardwiring computers and appliances to work 500X peak efficiency.

life story- At the age of ten he turned his parents old walkman into a CD player. When he was thirteen he created a robot that could run faster than a cheetah, a feat that he himself marveled at until it was run over by his neighbor. He graduated at MIT with several masters that allow him to work in many different fields including theoretical physics and AI programming. Currently he lives in a small electronic repair shop in the middle of a suburb of New York where he helps people with computer problems as well as issues with appliances. He does do the occasional side project now and again.

PS:
Sorry for the discovery story, I have the impression that a person that is extremely smart would not now it until they would almost destroy the universe. Just in case, I dont think his ability falls under technopathy because he doesnt have the ability like Mica to interface directly.

Name- Edward Wood
B-day- 15 July 1985
age- 22
power- Insectapathy
Discovery story- The year was 2000. When Edward was walking in the park one day he started hearing voices that seemed to come from thin air, he thought he was going mad so he didn't tell anyone. Later when he sat in his room he heard a voice again but this time much clearer and now there was only one voice. He looked where the sound appeared to be coming from and saw a fly sitting on by his window, at first he thought there was someone outside but there wasn't anybody there. He looked at the fly and said "Can you hear me?". The fly looked at him "Yes" the fly responded. "How can you hear me? This is ridiculious! You can't talk to flies." Edward said scratching his head nervously. "Very few humans can speak to insects, you are a gifted human indeed." After a few years of practice Edward now can summon huge hordes of different insects and communicate to them as well.
Life story- Lived with his family until the age of 18 when he moved out. Found a nice apartment in New York which he paid for by using his power as an advantage, it's quite a gift to be able to send small insects into offices and finding out things you're really not supposed to know. Works with various jobs, switches for what suits him best at the time.

I'll make a character.

I'm deciding between Genetic Absorption and Reactive Evolution for my power. Need to think on it for a bit

If you want my opinion I suggest that you go for the Genetic Absorption because Jakethepeg has Reactive Evolution.

Oh, I totally didn't notice that he already picked that one up. I think Genetic Absorption is too similar to reactive evolution. They both pretty much allow the user to adapt to a certain environment. For Jake, it would happen naturally, for me I would just have to touch something that could survive in that environment. We need a healthy mix of powers. Let me go back through and look again

Name: James Black
Ability: http://theories.activatingevolution.org ... nipulation
Age: 24

Description: Just your average guy...about 5'10", 153lbs. Blue eyes, Blonde Hair. Has strange eyes, though...they almost always seem distant, even when he's paying the utmost attention to you.

Power: Probability Manipulation. When a situation is unfolding, his mind can see every possible outcome in the immediate future. If it's something simple such as making a roulette wheel land on a certain number, or make some poor fellow trip he can control it very easily by thinking of his outcome. If he's in a stressed environment, such as someone has just fired a bullet at him, his mind takes over and takes the best solution for him. As far as power goes, any probability between 5% and 100% he can control with ease. Anything below 5% becomes increasingly harder. Anything below 1% is damn near impossible (at this time).

Backstory: James was 17 when his power came to fruition. He was at school when he saw Natlie Swanson, the girl he'd been wanting to date for the last 4 years. Unfortunately, he knew, the only way she would go out with him was if pigs could fly (thankfully they did not). It was on his way back home from school and he saw her walking down the street and he just wished there was a way to prove himself to her. A couple of gang punks sitting nearby suddenly got it in their head to go after Natalie. James would later realize that he had caused that. As he went to stop them, he suddenly found himself dodging punches and knives without thinking about it. It was when a gun came out that things got nasty. A shot was fired, and against all odds, it missed him. Unfortunately, it hit Natalie. The punks ran. James was left with Natalie as she lay dying. Again on his whim, he wished there was a way to save her. Unfortunately, her wound was too great, and his power wasn't developed enough (not to mention he had no idea what he could do). She died.

After that, he ran from home. He started noticing things happen when he wanted them to. He would get the last ticket to a train, or the train would arrive a few minutes late when he was late. People would give him money while he was sitting on the street. When asked why they did so, most people would say that it just felt right. Once he figured out what he could do, he started using it to get what he needed. He moved to Las Vegas -- the capital of probabilities. There he started making a small fortune in casinos, always making sure to lose money enough to keep himself inconspicuous. He lives alone, bringing home the occasional woman who he usually gets by using his power, and uses it again to get rid of them. He's often obnoxious, but still a good person.
