[*]Name: Nina O'Connell
[*]Alias: Hotblood
[*]Age: 14
[*]Personality: As her chosen alias would suggest, Nina is rather boisterous and over-passionate.  It is seemingly impossible for her to give less than 100% in any given activity, as she feels that if she's not giving something her all she may as well not be doing it in the first place.  She has a strong sense of justice (and in fact is a very big fan of superheroes), and won't back down against evildoers no matter what the odds; in fact, her determination and unwillingness to give up is her greatest strength, as she can often turn things around and come out on top purely through sheer force of will.  Other than that, she's generally pretty friendly, and willing to act like everyone's little sister; if she thinks you're being too mopey, she'll let you know and try to cheer you up in her own way.  Notably, she insists on referring to everyone by codename whilst out in action, as in her mind it makes everything so much cooler.
[*]Powers: Nina possesses the power to manipulate her own body heat to extreme temperatures, causing her to become superheated.  This not only makes it difficult for most villains to approach her, but allows her to sheathe her hands and feet in flame.  If she were to turn her powers up more than usual, everything within a certain radius from her would start to burst into  flames, although due to the collatoral damage this causes and how dangerous it is for everyone around her she very rarely pushes her powers this far.  Technically, her powers work both ways; she could instead lower her temperature and cause things around her to freeze instead, although she is currently unaware of this facet of her powers (possibly due to it clashing so much with her fiery personality).  Naturally, she is immune to the negative effects of extreme temperatures, and due to both comic book physics and modesty her outfit does not combust into nothing whenever she activates her powers.  In addition to her powers, Nina is moderately skilled in martial arts (albeit not to the level of many other heroes), possessing a yellow belt in kung fu.
[*]Weakness: Aside from her immunity to the effects of extreme temperatures, Nina has no special defences.  She's just as vulnerable to physical blows, blades and bullets as any other regular human.
[*]Appearance: [url=http://moerin-satsuki.deviantart.com/art/Hotblood-514182262]In costume![/url]  She's kind of short, and not all that developed.  Out of costume she tends to wear cut-off denim shorts and t-shirts baring the names of various power metal bands.
[*]Bio: Nina has always dreamed of being a hero.  Ever since she was young, she's been a huge fan of the colourful costumed crusaders who protect the peace and safety of Earth, and has tried her best to live up to their standards.  Even as a child she engaged in amateur heroics, like rescuing pets from trees and standing up to bullies at schools, but it wasn't until she was 13 that her heroic career could really get started.  The moment she saw the fire, she knew she had to do something about it.  She didn't care about her own safety, only that the people in the burning building were taken out of harms way, and so she heedlessly charged into the inferno.  As she dragged the victims out, she began to notice that the intense heat surrounding her wasn't affecting her at all.  She wasn't even sweating as she pulled them to safety.  It didn't take long for her to realize that the heat of the flames had suddenly activated her latent metagene, and with that she came to a startling conclusion: [i]she had superpowers![/i]  And that was [i]awesome![/i]  It didn't take her long to design a costume and begin taking on bigger acts of injustice than before, and eventually her dedication to heroism coupled with her passionate and outspoken personality got her noticed by other heroes...
[*]Arc Ideas: I'll get back to you on this. ^^;
