Rocky’s years on the streets turned every gun into an extension of his will. Whether it's a battered revolver, a sawed-off shotgun, or a beat-up pistol he yanked from a glovebox, he fires with the same brutal efficiency he used to swing a bat — fast, ruthless, and without a second thought.

The user points their finger, and an array of dancing lights erupts forth. Shimmering in shades of green and purple, the aurora rushes towards the target with a lethal swiftness. The lights slice through their targets, leaving behind a slight burning sensation as they trail off into the distance, becoming dimmer and dimmer as they fade away.
On defence, the user traces their finger to guide the aurora so that it can deflect any incoming threats. Bullets are vaporized in the lights and blades are caught in the crowning rays. An elegant tool for defending yourself and your friends.
Andromeda's signature ability. She discovered it shortly after taking up residence in her observatory. The Northern Lights descended upon her observatory, unusual for the skies of Saskatchewan. Always obsessed with the stars, Andromeda ascended to the tippy top of her observatory and reached out her hand, as though begging the lights to take her to the sky. Instead, she took the lights. They crawled into her hand, nestling themselves within her very soul.
She has been absolutely obsessed with the lights after discovering the power that was gifted to her. She's spent many nights just shooting it into the distance, watching the aurora flicker into the night sky before fading away. She personally chooses to believe that this gift means that she is destined to be a hero, akin to Percy Jackson and other similar protagonists from young adult novels.
Andromeda's acquisition of this gift increased her already rebellious tendencies. While she was never one for listening to authority, she now believes that her power places her in a position where other people don't have the right to boss her around. She's also anxious about having her powers stolen, taken advantage of, or otherwise used by others for their own personal gain. All of this (plus some past experiences) combines to make Andromeda a child who would rather do anything other than follow an order from someone demanding her respect.
One night, months into Andromeda's employment as a contractor, the lights returned. Once again, she climbed her observatory, reached out, and once more it seeped into her. The lights are brighter now, stronger now, deadlier now. Gone are the days of destined death, now the child delivers it herself. Maybe this will be easier to stomach, at least she won't have to watch her enemies suffer anymore.
