No Powers and Not Nearly Enough Training - You're always picking up new gear to keep yourself in the game. Whenever you pick up a new piece of gear, you can write it in here:

Backstory
How did you gain your powers? (normally, this is skills, but you've got powers, unreliable though they are)
I seem to have sort of "grown into" them when I hit puberty...they come in random flashes, so I don't really have any control over when they crop up right now. I'm trying to work on learning how better to control them - I'm tired of randomly ending up in strange places with strange people & then having to catch a bus (or a plane) back home...with or without police involvement. My grandmama was also a little "odd", people say. I never knew her - she died trying to rescue a small child from a fire before I was born, and she had told my Momma and the Sheriff about the fire several days before it had happened, but no one paid her any mind.
I will be going about my day-to-day and then suddenly, I'll see a horrific flash of something terrible happening to someone I've never met, feel all of the emotions they're feeling in that moment as if they were my own, and then - BAM - I find myself in the same room as this person (who is not currently in peril), or I'm in the room where the terrible thing was happening (except that it's not currently happening), or something like that. Then, before I can explain what's going on, I either have to run or get forcibly removed from the premises (again, with or without police involvement). Then, within a couple of days, I'll see on the news that something terrible (specifically what I had seen in my flash vision) has happened to that person, and then I'll usually be physically ill that I wasn't able to stop whatever it was from happening.
Very recently, I woke up from a weird dream (can't remember the details), and the water glass, alarm clock, and books on my bedside table were all just kind of floating around my room in mid-air. As soon as I woke up fully, they all came crashing to the ground, making a huge mess and waking up everyone in the house. That was the first time that had ever happened, and it scared the bejeepers out of me.
I'm currently working on trying to figure out how to better use my powers to actually be able to help people, or at the very least to be able to more successfully warn them about the potential impending danger. I've got composition books filled with notes about what I see, what the people in each flash look like (as best as I can remember), what's happening in the vision, what I can tell about the surrounding area or room where it's taking place, etc., as well as what I eventually find out about what happened from the news. My momma says the notebooks make me look like a deranged serial killer or something, but I think they're going to help me to better help others.
When did you first put on your costume?
I'm still working on my official costume, but I do think that it's prudent to have specific "working clothes" to get yourself into the right frame of mind & to project a "hero" image to folks.
Who, outside of the team, thinks you shouldn't be a superhero?
Where to start?!? My momma & my brother, for starters...the police, various state troopers, the army, the Sheriff...there's a pretty long list of haters.
Why do you try to be a hero?
Because if you can do something to save somebody from harm or prevent something bad from happening, then you have a duty to do everything in your power to help.
Why do you care about the team?
They're a bunch of folks kinda like me, just trying to help out where they can & make the world a better place. We gotta support each other, because there's not a lot of folks who have our backs.
When our Team first came together
We found signs that this incident was just the start of something bigger. What were the signs?We saved Coqui and fought The Revenant together at the Halcyon City Kodiaks Stadium: Kodiak Cave - it turned out that we all make a really great team!
Relationships
Sun is awesome, and I take every chance I get to hang out with him.I've got to prove myself to Coqui before I will feel like a real hero.

Moment of Truth
This is the moment when I show them exactly why you belong here. I do any one thing, take out any one enemy, no matter how insane, no matter how ridiculous, because that's me. Their jaws are gonna drop when I'm done. Of course, pulling off a stunt like this tends to bring unwanted attention and a dangerous reputation....Team Moves
- Share a triumphant celebration with someone - I tell them how they're awesome and add a Team to the pool. If they tell me how I'm awesome in return, I add another Team to the pool.
- Share a vulnerability or weakness with someone - ask them to confirm or deny that I should be here. If they confirm it, I mark Potential and give them Influence over me. If they deny it, I mark Angry and shift one Label up and one Label down, my choice.
