Mikayla Cain

―Mikayla Cain.

**Mikayla Cain** is a character in *Gen X*. She is a first year at Exousia University who was enrolled by her mothers requests. Despite her forceful enrollment, she maintains a cheerful attitude towards her situation with the goal to make friends. Additionally, she was one of the first years in the Top 100 upon her arrival.

## Background

Mikayla was born to a practically single mother, she had a father sure- but he was no real father. Samuel would abuse her mother Candace, she hated seeing her mother suffer so she’d purposefully throw things at him to transfer his attention to her instead, this went on for years. Mikayla always took care of her mother, they weren’t the richest family- poor even. The lack of income from her father Samuel prompted her mother to call a certain company, this company gave the family thousands of dollars in cash and handed the 7-year-old Mikayla right over.

The process was painful.. one of the worst pains she had ever felt before. These people injected her with an unknown substance and threw her back out into the world with no idea of her capabilities. Once she got home nothing changed, her father being the same old asshole he always was. For 6 years she withstood his outbursts on mother and herself included. When she hit puberty the attacks on her mother didn’t last long.. Mikayla felt a burning rage in her heart, she wanted to hurt him- so she did. An earthquake below them caused the trailer they were living in to shake uncontrollably, one of the metal pans fell directly onto Samuels skull and cracked it open, leaving him dead.

This caused a panic but also relief in her mother, thanking her child from freeing her from such a violent man. It was almost like this was what Candace wanted all along, an escape. Mikayla just felt like a mistake.. a murderer that should never have been made. People stared popping out with reports of super powered children, unfortunately Mikayla was one of those children so her mother decided to seek profit off of her. As she got older her powers were still as reckless and devastating as that first time she used them. Her mother enlisted her for Exousia University, school for heroes to fight for a spot on the Freedom Fighters. Sure it would be cool, but nothing would fix the way she felt about her powers.

## Personality

Mikayla is a rather sweet girl, always looking out for people and constantly having their best interests in mind. Mikayla loves to have fun, but also loves to relax. She only wants everyone to succeed, but sometimes at cost of her own success. She’d subtly make herself look bad if it meant someone special to herself could rise higher. Mikayla feels as if she doesn’t deserve to be where she is, in her mind all the destruction she had caused and could cause wasn’t worth of this opportunity.

## Powers and Abilities

―Candace Cain to Mikayla Cain.

* **Disaster Manipulation**: Mikayla possesses the power to create and manipulate weather-oriented disasters, such as snowstorms and wildfires. This ability can get quite destructive so she chooses not to use it much resulting in inexperience and a lack of control when she hopes to do so.
	+ **Blizzard Creation**: Mikayla can use a combination of cold, winds and snow, sleet, hail, and/or ice to create blizzards of varying power.
	+ **Earthquake Generation**: Mikayla can generate earthquakes at will, being able to manipulate seismic energy and geological forces, enabling her to induce earthquakes of varying magnitudes.
	+ **Wildfire Creation**: Mikayla can create wildfires of various sizes, being able to do it on a mass scale to create a forest fire, or on a small scale to light a bonfire.
	+ **Tornado Creation**: Mikayla can create tornadoes, whirlwinds and similar forms of wind storms.
	+ **Flood Creation**: Mikayla can create a flood of various sizes, causing water to overflow onto land.
	+ **Storm Generation**: Mikayla can generate various storms of wind, rain, hail, snow, sand, dust, and lightning.
	+ **Hurricane Creation**: Mikayla can create hurricanes to cause massive or minimal damage, the strength of the hurricane depending on both the environmental factors and her desire.
	+ **Avalanche Creation**: Mikayla can create avalanches, a rapid flow of snow down a sloping surface. After initiation, the avalanche will accelerate rapidly and grow in mass and volume as they entrain more snow. If the avalanche moves fast enough, some of the snow may mix with the air, forming a powder snow avalanche.
	+ **Disaster Negation**: Mikayla can negate existing natural disasters, nullifying their effects and essentially canceling the disaster.

* **Enhanced Durability**: Mikaylas physical durability, the ability to withstand damage, is extremely high, allowing her to take numerous blows of internal or external assaults before succumbing to the effects.

## Weaknesses

* **Emotions**: Mikaylas power is mainly oriented in her emotions. She’s prone to closeting her emotions behind a bright smile which can be unpredictable.
* **Lack of Concentration**: To properly control the disaster she creates, she must have concentration. If she cannot concentrate, she is unable to manipulate the disaster to her will, resulting in unpredictable outcomes.
* **Lack of Disaster Immunity**: She is not fully immune to her disasters so there is a need to be mindful about when and where she creates one.
