Career
Origin
Alexandria and Elizabeth Thurmond, freshly independent at eighteen, moved to Millennium City to make it big... or, at least, get away from their parents. Their father is a politician, opening his family up to slightly more scrutiny (and somewhat higher parental supervision) than the twins preferred in their life. Neither was quite sure what they'd do in the city; they had yet to go to college, and although they had some musical talent, they knew their dreams of the two-girl band gaining instant fame were unlikely. Instead, both ended up working entry-level assistant jobs at Better World, Inc, a small research and development company "dedicated to improving the world through innovative technology"; it was all a bit vague, but the twins liked that they were helping people in some small way - mostly they were happy that they could afford their tiny Westside apartment without asking Daddy for help.
Like any good intern, however, Lisa came across her company's dark secret: they were creating superpower-grade technology and weapons to sell to the highest bidders, mostly among the gangs of the city! The young eavesdropper was caught, but was able to come across to her employers as a "dumb blonde", claiming to be looking for the restrooms. Once satisfied she hadn't heard anything, they let her go. She nervously divulged what she'd heard to her sister that night, and Lexi was immediately determined to go in and gather evidence of the criminal activities. Lisa hesitantly promised to help, unwilling to let her sister walk into danger alone. Working overtime the next day, they waited until the building had mostly emptied before sneaking into the development labs. They took pictures, copied files, and stole several pieces of technology - powered armor with speed-enhancing capabilities, and gauntlets that could project and manipulate either heat or cold.
Yes, once they saw the armors, Lexi knew instantly that they wanted to be superheroes - Lisa took a bit of convincing, but due to the circumstances was willing to agree to anything! Back at home, the shyer sister was more confident, and readily agreed to give heroism a shot. They gave the armors paintjobs and picked their elements. Lexi, the brasher, hot-tempered sister, naturally chose the fiery side, becoming Hotflash, while Lisa, the less aggressive one, took on the icy role of Coldsnap!
Heroes
Personalities
Alexandria/Hotflash
Born first - by a scant few minutes, at most - Lexi has always proudly embraced the "big sister" role, becoming fiercely protective, reckless, rebellious, and hot-tempered. She is mildly tomboyish, at least compared to her sister. She is easily the more violent of the two sisters, especially when Lisa's safety is at stake. She can be flirty and bold, and is the natural leader of the twins. Also notable is her recent predilection for taking selfies with superheroes, creatures, or pretty much just anyone or thing that interests her. Very rarely asking for permission to do this, she usually sneaks up to the victim, snaps the picture, and then runs off before the selfie-ee realizes what has happened. Known to be terrified of the undead.
Elizabeth/Coldsnap
The "younger" sister, Lisa is by far the more innocent of the two, never having even been on a real date due to her shyness and nerves - her bad experience letting a boy take her to a school dance didn't help. She's terrible at conflict, but she tries to be brave - for her sister and friends, if nothing else. She can be rather childish and bratty at times, and still owns at least a few stuffed animals that she sleeps with. She's easily embarrassed and flustered, especially by Lexi. She tends to be a follower, deferring to Lexi or anyone else with sufficient authority. Although easy to scare or upset, Lisa is just as easily cheered up, and quick to forgive.
Appearance
Lexi and Lisa look almost completely identical, something they work hard at, exercising and dieting to maintain about the same weight and build - for whatever reason,and unusually for twins, they enjoy being mirror images. They're fairly short, bodies slender and increasingly fit thanks to their new activities. They both sport light blue eyes and lemony blonde hair, often kept up in pigtails during strenuous activity. Unless they're playing up the twin angle, Lexi generally prefers to keep her hair loose, while Lisa likes putting hers in a braid. Clothing-wise, Lex tends towards darker colors and androgynous clothes like jeans and T-shirts, while Lisa usually wears light, airy colors, skirts, and tank tops.
Powers
Armor:The twins have no powers when not wearing their armored suits, though they are both athletic. The armor itself is flexible but very tough, and padded to protect them from most anything that they might come across - from the neck down, at least. The armors' provide the wearer with the ability to run at incredible speeds, though nowhere near supersonic, maxing out somewhere under 100 MPH. The suits also produce, when moving, a minor kinetic force field that protects the wearer from hurting themselves while running, deflecting insects and debris. This field reinforces the armor padding itself to keep the twins safe.
Masks: The masks of the suits only protect the face and ears, leaving most of the head and neck exposed. However, the earpieces and mouth guard contain: communications equipment, including a private channel between the suits; automatic sound-dampening technology for loud noises; light-dampening in the visor to prevent eye damage; voice-masking software for the exterior vocal feeds; air filtration scrubbers; even a small emergency air supply - only good for a half hour, at most. The visor has a night-vision mode, but the twins aren't very happy with it. Turns out reality isn't as good as the movies made it seem!
Pyro/Cryo-Gauntlets: As one might guess, these large gauntlets produce their element of choice - either heat/flame, or cold/ice. Various gestures and movements are used to manipulate the elements in a variety of ways beyond simple beams or projectile attacks; Hotflash, for instance, can create a fiery area around herself, while Coldsnap can encase enemies or create walls of ice.
"Flight": Both of the girls have discovered alternate means of transportation by using their suits in a way slightly out of the recommended design. Coldsnap can form a platform of ice to levitate while standing atop, which is very fast (she's basically flinging the board around and riding it as it goes), extremely hard to control, and dangerously fun, while Hotflash can store excess heat in her suit by running at superspeed to generate friction, then jettison it through her gloves and boots to give her inaccurate flight.
