What I can Do and Can't
Powers: Electrical Sight: Storm is also able to alter her visual perception so as to perceive electrical energy patterns as well as those factors responsible for existing meteorological phenomena in her surrounding environment. This ability grants Storm an edge in any combat situation as she is able to see the electrical impulse generated my the human nervous system and thus able to predict her opponent's movements a split second before they happen. This power possibly explains why Storm was able to best Callisto in hand to hand combat over leadership of the Morlocks when clearly Callisto is stronger, faster and a more skilled hand to hand combatant.
Flight: Storm can fly through the air by causing herself to be supported and propelled by wind currents. Storm can thus travel as fast as any wind can, and has reached speeds up to 300 miles per hour(Up to 800 miles per hour). Her power over the atmosphere enables her to breathe at any speed, protect her from air friction, and protect her from cold. Storm can carry aloft an as yet undetermined amount of weight while being borne aloft by the wind.
Weather Prediction: Storm has the added ability to know the patterns of weather by instinct so that any given time, she can predict the weather on any planet she is on.
Body Temperature Control: ability to change her internal and external body temperature to match that of the current outside atmosphere, so that she wont suffer any ill effects from the change of atmosphere. The ability is involuntary and natural, although somewhat limited.
Telepathic Resistance: It is believed that do to the nature of Storm's powers that there is always static electricity going through her brain, which makes it harder to reach her telepathically. Even Professor X has trouble contacting her. If she is using her powers it is even more difficult, sometimes even causing pain. She once withstood the combined efforts of Professor X, Pyslocke, and Oracle, all powerful telepaths.
Flash Freeze Storms ability to control atmospheric temperature allows her to instantly freeze or heat objects or foes. Storm has flash frozen Colossus, when he attempted to stop her from apprehending his sister, Illyana. She has the poetential to wield Magic but, has yet to explore this possibility. taken from en.marveldatabase.com/Ororo_Munroe_(Earth-616)#Powers_and_Abilities
Abilities: Ororo is an expert lock-pick and constantly carries around a set on her in case they are needed. Ororo can pick most locks. Ororo is also is an expert gardener thanks to her powers.
Weaknesses: Claustrophobia: Ororo is highly claustrophobic. She will panic easy when trapped in small spaces and lose control of her powers. If she is enclosed for a long time she will pass out from lack of oxygen faster.
Power control: Ororo can not be too emotional or she could lose all control of her powers. Ororo keeps a tight control of her emotions to keep control of her powers. If she lets her emotions take control she can be lost to her powers and emotions. She could unleash massive destruction but, be no more than her emotions and powers and her humanity would be lost forever. This has almost happen when she first met Dr. Doom and was made a living statue for a time before her teammates freed her.
What Happened to Me
Ororo was the only child of David and N’Dare Monroe. They originally lived in New York City and moved to Cairo when Ororo was six months old. Five years later during the Suez War a French bomber crashed in to Ororo’s home destroying it and killing her parents. Ororo was buried alive leaving her claustrophobic. Ororo managed to dig her way out and was eventually taken in by Achmed El Gibar and taught how to survive by stealing. One day she stole a wallet from a tourist named Charles Xavier. At that tome you were in the service of the Shadow King. Then in pre-teens she traveled from Cairo to the Serengeti, when she felt a pull to travel south, to her mother’s native land. During her travel a man attempted to rape her but, before he could Ororo killed him in self-defense. As she traveled her powers manifested. An old tribal lady Ainet helped Ororo to control and master her powers. The local tribes worshipped Ororo as a Goddess cause her ability to control the weather.
When the Professor was recruiting for his team of X-men he recruited Ororo and she joined Jean, Hank and Scott who had already been recruited. Together the three worked on learning about their powers and controlling them. Ororo also earned her diploma and masters so she could teach at the school.
Ororo along with Scott helped rescue Rogue and Logan from Sabertooth when Sabertooth ambushed them in Canada. She was not shy about talking to Logan about picking a side when he seemed to be uncertain where his loyalties lie.
When Logan returned Ororo was one of the first X-men to welcome him back before letting Jean and him have their moment. Ororo and Jean then left to recruit Nightcrawler. Ororo and Jean learned the fate of the students at the mansion. Ororo tried lying low but, was found out when she tried getting supplies one day. She tried to fight back but, was outnumbered and taken into custody.

writing sample:
Ororo had been at the prison for only a few hours and was already trying to find ways to escape. She had been placed in a cell and then left by herself. Ororo had hidden several lock picks in her hair that the guards had not found. They had placed a collar around her neck that prevented her from using her powers but, her hands were left unbound.
Making sure no one was around Ororo slipped a lock pick out and quietly picked the lock on her cell. She quietly slipped out and made her way down the hall. She got a fair distance when guards raised the alarms she had escaped. She increased her speed while scanning the cells for a familiar face. She turned a corner and kept going till she spotted guards she turned to flee the other way only to find her escape cut off. She took out two guards before the rest pinned her to the floor and restrained her. They dragged her off and then placed her hands in mancles preventing her from using them and made a thought pat down removing the rest of her lock picks.
