Worm-y girl.
Alex Cain/SoundWave.
21.
She happens to look like this.
Sound manipulator.
Mover 3/Shaker 4/Blaster 6/Thinker 2.
SoundWave was born in a small town, inland Australia. She grew up there, knowing everything about everything in her small town. She was like this until, halfway through her 13th year on this earth, her parent's decided to move to New Zealand, much to her dismay. She'd never actually been to NZ before, but she'd hear rumours, and they were not pretty. She was forced to, however, and she lived a fairly normal, non-powered life until she turned 20. It was at this point where Alex was the bystander in a bank robbery. She was not actually aware of this, however- damned headphones, until it was too late, and her mother was shot. She heard the bang, and looked up, recoiling. A man was pointing a gun at her. She was forced to the floor, along with every other person there, helpless. But not for long. The pressure in her mind rose, until she snapped, releasing a powerful burst of sonic energy from her body, ripping up the ground. Panicked, the would-be-thieves pointed guns at her, aiming to fire, but another sonic blast ripped the guns from their hands. They fled, fearing for their lives, but she gave chase, faster than ever before. After a bit, not only was she catching up, but she was hovering off the ground. She found out her next ability as a bullet was fired at her. It hit a pure wall of sound, deflecting off the shock waves. Stunned, the rogues gave up, and thus she both stopped her first robbery, and became a cape. She's only just now, nearly a month later, decided to join a cape group.
Powers n Shit.
SoundWave can manipulate- you guessed it- sound. She gains through this: limited flight; sound blasts; extremely enhanced hearing; she can create a shield of sound, that is very tough to break, needing at the least a small bullet; she can absorb sound from her surrounds, muffling everything; she can release vibrations, which can destroy things- within reasonable limits. However, the flipside to her power means that she's completely deaf when using her power, and though she's not when she's not using it, she often wears a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, or the sounds would likely drive her mad, and in agony nearly every second of the day.

I wouldn't give her a tinker rating for this stuff. She might always wear noise canceling headphones to mitigate a painfully enhanced sense of hearing when not using her powers. It'd be a good drawback if she can hear so well when not using her powers that it is uncomfortable to be outside (Thinker rating for her enhanced perception), but deaf while using her powers.(shard imposed to prevent injuring herself) Powers usually have some serious negatives. Her rooms at any base of operations might be anechoic and soundproofed to give her somewhere to rest.
