Jesse and Morgan Dalton – The Six Gun Sisters
Morgan is the more outlandish of the two, with her blue-dyed hair and eclectic dress, this is all a well-thought out front to throw people off and make them under-estimate her. Jesse prefers more simple utilitarian clothes and presents herself as exactly what she is…. both beautiful and dangerous. Of the two she is the more vicious and vindictive.

Stelle Sisters (BIO in DeviantArt description to make it easier to read):
https://www.deviantart.com/lullabyofthesin/art/Stelle-Sisters-940352382
The Mariano brothers are Alpine Italian siblings whose mother’s GorWol trait manifested while she was pregnant with the twin boys. This caused them to be born with ergokinetic powers. Riccardo focused his energy to become strong and tough while Rudolfo focused his energy on shooting blasts and flight. They also discovered their powers were more powerful the closer in proximity to each other and thus they rarely separate by more than a few hundred meters. They became a local sensation in the Alps saving people and eventually became enamored of the meta hero celebrity lifestyle (as evidenced by their ‘adventuring gear’ which includes phones and pro cameras so they can continually update their social media accounts even when on the job).

ALYONUSHKA & IVANYUSHKA
Sergei (and his sister Nadia) grew up in a small rural village near Kursk. Their parents were simple hardworking folks, who struggled to get pregnant. Their mother took a chance and went to see an old wise, woman who lived in a nearby woods. THe old woman gave their mother some herbs to mix into her tea that were supposed to increase fertilization in women.
The herbs appeared to work perfectly, but what the old woman (who was Baba Yaga in disguise) didn’t tell her was that the herbs came with a price, her children were to be cursed.
On their 12th birthday Sergei and Nadia under went a change. Sergei’s was the much more dramatic of the two. Over the next couple of weeks he grew in size – to nearly eight feet tall. He took on a goat-like appearance and his body became covered in shaggy grey-white fur.
The change was impossible to hide, neighbors believed the family was cursed and began calling Sergei “Ivanushka”, after an old folk tale. Before long government agents showed up and took Sergei and his sister away. They entered a training program for people of ‘special talents’. Eventually they were assigned to the Iron Guardians.
Unlike her brother, Nadia’s change was more subtle, she began to hear ‘voices’ before long she realized it came from the various animals and plants that were in close proximity. She also began to see the ‘ghosts’ of animals that had died, and could communicate with them. Over time other abilities began to develop.
Unlike her brother, it was easy for Nadia to hide her new ‘gifts’. It wasn’t until she accidentally caused a patch of withered plants to suddenly regrow that the rest of the village found that she to was ‘cursed’.
