Name: Gertrude Alabaster
Gender: Female
Age: 22
Position: She has an ability and has a vague awareness of it. She does not know what it is yet, although she feels like she's special.
Ability: She has a hyper-awareness of everything around her that is reachable by any of her senses. She can feel every stitch of clothing on her body, detect every particle in a scent, hear every element of a sound, taste all components of whatever she eats, and see any tiny detail with just a glance.
Background: Gertrude is one of those people with a seemingly unshakable faith in the good of the human race. She grew up in a sheltered home, with little interaction with the outside world and the cruelty of man. She still lives with her parents when not occupied with her work as a social worker working with abused and neglected children. She'll often spend nights at the office because she feels so much obligation to her work. She can sometimes sense things others cannot in everyday life and wonders if something is different about her. She wants to help everybody to see what she sees: the beauty of the world and its inhabitants.
Appearance: Gerturde is small and very contained. She has black curly hair that goes down to her thin shoulders. Her clothes are patched and frayed, for her job pays little and her parents refuse to pay for anything because she is living in their home and is enough of an expense already. Her eyes seem to change color with the light, but tend to center around a warm brown.

Name: Trent Curtis
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Position: He has an ability, but he hides it and hunts others with abilities.
Ability: He can understand any language spoken to him. It's all translated in his mind and transformed into some sort of generic form of communication that if spoken aloud, any living thing could understand.
Background: Trent was born to ability hunters, but when he discovered he had an ability himself, he attempted to hide it so as to save himself from his parents. Now his parents are dead, but he has no desire to reveal his hidden ability. Sometimes he doesn't acknowledge that he has it himself. He's very clever and knows exactly how to comport himself around others. He works for a very discreet department of the government, hunting down those with dangerous abilities.
Appearance: Trent has long shaggy brown hair and bright blue eyes. He's quite handsome and likeable on sight. His appearance is personable, but something deadly lies behind his eyes.

Gender: Female
Age: 29
Position: She does not have an ability.
Ability: None
Background: Remi grew up in a small town with her loving parents and big sister. Her sister began hanging out with a gang of people with abilities. Her sister had an ability too, and Remi and her parents were very supportive of her. When she was killed in a gang fight, Remi's parents fell into a depression. Remi was completely ignored and turned into a hard, driven girl with a determination to exterminate all dangerous people with abilities. She completely disregards the fact that this started out of her sister having abilities. In the midst of killing a person with abilities, she encounters a man involved in an organization of hitmen commited to her cause. Remi joins the organization without realizing what a complex system she has entered. She has now been killing people with abilities for 13 years and has been part of the organization for 5.
Appearance: Remi is the type of person who you can never remember. Her face is very generic. Her hair and eyes are brown and she is of average height and weight. She always wears black and tends to keep certain illegal weapons beneath her bulky clothing.
Username: Sali-ali
Name: Calais (pronounced CUH-lie) Roe
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Position: Has an ability, knows it, but is afraid to reveal it
Ability: (I've never seen Heroes, but you mentioned this as an example, so I'm not sure if it's too weird or not) Shapeshifter, but with a restriction: he has to have touched the animal before to take a copy of the DNA
Background: He grew up in a normal home until he realized he could play with the family dog at it's own level. His parents freaked and forced him to suppress his powers, beating him if he ever phased into something else. However, he still managed to copy a few other animals and routinely uses the guise to sneak out. He has been considering running away permanently, but for now hides his ability because he is ashamed of it.
Appearance: When he is human, Calais has pale skin, dark black hair, and ice-blue eyes. He is average height but scrawny because of his parents' abuse.

Name: Faeyette Eaton (born Faeyette Iris Robin Jameson)
Gender: Female
Age: 30
Position: She knows of her powers. (I think that's what you mean by this)
Ability: Fyre-starter/Flaeme-whisperer (whatever you would rather call it. the person with Fyre in their being and hands and personality)
Background: Faeyette was born as the normal child is. Two parents, and an little brother, Caelib. Until age 15, all was well with Faey's life. She was normal, calm, quiet. A good daughter, sister, and friend. Caelib drowned when Faey was asked to watch him when he was swimming at the beach. Faey never forgave herself. She was angry. Her parents sent her to a psychiatrist, but she was simply too angry. She lasted about 3 more years with them, and then suddenly left. Her parents only found scorch marks on the carpet, and a pile of ash where her bed used to be. She never returned to them. Faey has been living by herself, and she pulled herself recently through college. She married Jason Eaton, and has been living with him in their small apartment ever since. Faey is fierce, and full of fire and personality. She is easy to anger. The quiet girl she once was is long gone, replaced with a woman full of spunk, anger and passion. Her power, the ability to summon a flaeme, is not much. She's not very powerful, but when is very angry can indefinitely blow torch everything. Mostly in control of the fyre.
Appearance: Faeyette is average height. She has blond hair, which curls and tangles easily. That's why she usually keeps it up in a bun. She is a fully formed woman. She has blue eyes, and a usual scowl on her face. She likes to wear high heels, and light blue sweaters. Normally, she wears brown slacks, and she prefers her thick, black-framed glasses to contacts. She had braces when she was little, so her teeth are straight. She wears an average amount of makeup, and is usually wearing lipstick, and dangling earrings. She also wears a locket. Faey also has short nails, because she bites them.
When Faey uses her power, she doesn't have to say any "mumbo jumbo, or hocus pocus". She simply calls on it, and can ignite a spark with her fingers. She can set herself on fire without burning, but if she ignites her whole body, her clothes burn off. So that's for emergencies only. Also, when she uses her power, she can't be selective. Anything flammable she touches (whether it be what she wanted to burn, a cat or the drapes) will usually ignite, even if it was an accident. Her eyes turn orange when she uses her fire.

Name: Jason Martin Eaton (or just Jay)
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Position: Jason doesn't like to think about, or use, his power. But he knows of it. He thinks he's a freak.
Ability: Jay can move objects without touching them. He can also shield people. He's very smart, also.
Background: Jason is a orphanage child, and has simply been looking to fit in wherever he went. He discovered his power at the age of 7, when he threw another student at a wall, killing him. It was accidental, but Jason was ostracized from students, and was locked in his basement by his ashamed parents more than once. He barely finished his senior year, and as soon as he did, he left his hometown, searching for a better life away from there, where he could live in peace. His parents never called, and he figures now they don't think he exists any more. Jason met Faey in a coffee shop, and they have been inseparable ever since, clinging to each other out of the need to be forgiven and accepted. They have been marred since Jason was 25. Jason is the opposite of Faey. He is quiet, but not afraid to speak up against injustice. He may not wear the pants in their relationship, but he always has his say. And in the end, he is always right. He will not strike someone in anger, and always has to control himself to keep from destroying things, or killing people. Emotions will be the death of those around him if he gets too close.
Appearance: Jason is tall and thin. He's actually about 6'3". He is big, and gawky. He has short, cropped, dirty blond hair and brown eyes. Even though he is younger than Faey, he looks older than her because of his size. He usually slouches, so he seems somewhat smaller, but not much. He has very bony arms and legs, and is not very athletic. Jason is usually wearing some comfortable jeans, and a sweater with a white shirt underneath. His favorite is his red sweater. He likes his work boots, too. Nothing happens when Jason uses his power. He mostly gets a look of intense concentration. It comes without warning, or when he's blatantly pissed off or sad or jealous or even when he's happy.
