Name: Deron 'Fuller' Zimber
Sex: Male
Age: 27
Power(s) max of 5: Ability to control people's mines, the ability to cause extreme mass fear in people, the ability to see in the dark like it is during the day and the ability to shoot balls of fire out of his hand.
General Personality: Very straight forward and to the point, Deron does not care for small talk or stupidity in people or in his life. Will do whatever it takes to get to the point, which has been honed over the years due to his crime life.
Super Name(optional): The Boss.
How you got your powers: When his left hand was burnt badly by an experimental welder, it unlocked parts of him inside him that he did not know about.
Backstory: Born into a large family, Deron was ignored for the whole of his young life, during which, he made himself in the darker side of the law. 10 years on and Deron works for the local Mafia, but is looking to making his own way. With the help of some ever so helpful friends, that is. He also had his left hand badly burnt after it was burnt badly by an experimental welder, when he was doing a job. He is currently at home, resting to aid the healing of his hand

Hows that? And the mind one now means actual mind control/manipulation now.

Power(s) max of 5: Copy(Create temporary copies of other people), sense unnatural(sense if something that isn't base, standard, mundane is nearby, and a vague sense of direction. be able to tell if a super being is behind me, but not aim at it.

Super Name(optional): Martian
How you got your powers: A super somehow detonated themselves near me. I woke up to the feeling of their energies being drawn into me and felt a sensation of emulating them. After I recovered I was attuned to the power I had felt and could emulate all manner of people.
Worked as an accountant, never married, unpopular growing up, boring job, nothing exciting ever happened to me until now...

If someone had no idea who Yugi Moto was, would you be able to offer a brief outline?

Well, dunno if I'm too late but here.

Name: Jack "Inkwell" De Luca
Sex: Male
Age: 26
Power(s) max of 5: Can utterly annihilate a weak-minded person's personality, and replace it with one of 52 card-themed personalities completely loyal to him.
General Personality: Absolute control freak, but extremely suave and classy to make up for it. has a love of Frank Sinatra and Sinatra-esque music, and will go to comically absurd lengths to acquire copies of it. Is frighteningly eloquent when angry, but otherwise prefers to speak in short, simple sentences to make sure not even the dumbest goon could misunderstand his orders.
Super Name(optional): The House
How you got your powers: A magical set of cards
Backstory: Jack is an up-and-coming mobster in the city, having spent the last few years climbing his way up the ladder to a respectable position somewhere in the middle. Recently, his family invaded the home of a local magician hero who had gotten in the way of their last few crimes. Not expecting their arrival, the sorcerer died quickly and quite painfully. While looting the house, Jack came across a seemingly innocent set of cards. He always loved playing blackjack as a kid, so he pocketed them as a bit of a reward for his role in the attack. He figured no one would miss the cards.

With five powers someone should do an elemental hero!
They could have control over earth, fire, wind, water, and, meh, make something up...

CJ1145, like I said your powers will 'activate' for the first time near the beginning of the RPG or just before it.

Name: Deron 'Fuller' Zimber
Sex: Male
Age: 27
Power(s) max of 5: Ability to control people in a way that does not kill them (i.e Minon's with brains/great charisma), the ability to cause mass fear in people, the ability to see in the dark like it is during the night, the ability to shoot balls of fire out of his hand.
General Personality: Very straight forward and to the point, Deron does not care for small talk or stupidity in people or in his life. Will do whatever it takes to get to the point, which has been honed over the years due to his crime life.
Super Name(optional): The Boss.
How you got your powers: Years of 'practice' in his 'job' and when his left hand was burnt badly by the experimental welder, it allowed him to SHOOT FIRE.
Backstory: Born into a large family, Deron was ignored for the whole of his young life, during which, he made himself in the darker side of the law. 10 years on and Deron works for the local Mafia, but is looking to making his own way. With the help of some ever so helpful friends, that is. He also had his left hand badly burnt after it was burnt badly by an experimental welder, when he was doing a job.

Also, yay for being a lurker, yet getting in first.

Done.
lost of practice doesn't seem to be very well defined with relation to the powers, but I assume that it is basically a super personality power, you can compel and intimidate people to an unnatural extent, have experience operating in dark conditions, and the welder was producing an experimental plasma induction field that melded with your hand's bio-electric field and imbued it with the ability to generate and project fireballs...
Although it is a bit of a conflict with newly discovered powers and building skills over time, although you may not have realised their full potential until you spent time in contemplation recovering from the burns.
