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. Neither was quite sure what they'd do in the city; they had yet to go to college, and they didn't have any major skills, though they had dreams of their little two-girl band gaining some fame. Instead, both ended up working internships at Better World, Inc, a small research and development company working to improve the world through technology derived from superheroes. The twins liked that they were helping 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 power-granting 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, already determined to go in and gather evidence of their activities. Alex 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 paired speed-enhancing boots, and gauntlets that could fire and manipulate either heat or cold.
Yes, once they'd seen the armors, they both knew instantly that they wanted to be superheroes. They gave the armors paintjobs and picked their elements. Alex, 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!
Personalities
Alexandria/Hotflash
Born first - by a scant few minutes, at most - Alex has always proudly embraced the "big sister" role, becoming fiercely protective, brash, rebellious, and hot-tempered. She is a bit tomboyish, usually hiding her girly side. 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. Has a predilection for taking selfies of super heroes, creatures, or just plain people that interest 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 date due to her shyness and nerves. She's terrible at conflict, but she tries to be brave - for her sister, 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, they just love being mirror images. They're fairly short, bodies slender and somewhat muscular. 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 thing, Alex generally prefers to keep her hair loose, while Lisa likes putting hers in a braid. Clothing-wise, Alex 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 fairly 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. It also interfaces with the separate boots and gauntlets.
Speed Boots: Both pairs of boots provide the ability to run at incredible speeds, though nowhere near supersonic, maxing out somewhere under 100 MPH. The boots are also responsible for producing the force field - mostly useless for defensive purposes - that protects them from the force of moving at said speeds.
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, voice-masking software for the exterior vocal feeds, air filtration scrubbers, and even a small emergency air supply - only good for an hour or so, at most. The eyepiece comes complete with night-vision mode.
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.
Secondary Travel: 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 surface of ice that careens through the air at a high velocity and seems dangerously fun, while Hotflash can store excess heat in her suit by running at super speeds, then jettison it through her gloves and boots to give her inaccurate flight.
