TERRA it is then!!
so any suggestions on her powers as I start to make stats, I'm sure you know her better than me.
what are our limitations on adding to, or changing their abilities subtly?

so here's my quick research on Terra...
I wasn't a big reader of the Teen Titan comics, I have read the Judas Contract and familiar with the TT cartoon. What else should I know or think about when making her and roleplaying her??
Specifically has any of the Judas stuff happened?
With Nightwing and the other team members this will be important to know, especially if they'll need to "forgive" her when rejoining the Team.
here's my info...
TERRA
Tara Markov, half sister of Geo-Force, was the illegitimate daughter of the King of Markovia. This royal blood gave her the power to control earth.
Terra became a mercenary, doing dirty work for others such as Deathstroke the Terminator. She joined the Teen Titans, fooling them by staging a battle vs Deathstroke. She then operated as a spy for Deathstroke, eventually giving him the information he needed to kidnap the Titans. Eventually, Jericho possessed Deathstroke, foiling his plan, and Terra went crazy and pulled the whole H.I.V.E. complex down upon herself.
In 1991 another Terra appeared, almost identical to the first, as part of the Team Titans from a possible 2001. She was one of three characters ostensibly from that future who were not wiped out in Zero Hour. She was told by the Time Trapper that this was because she was not from the future at all. Subsequently she discovered Tara Markov's coffin to be empty.
Further evidence suggested she is genetically identical to the original Terra, but due to her horror at what Tara Markov did, Geo-Force decided to spare her this knowledge, thinking she would rather not have a past than have that one.
Terra also featured in the Titans animated series. In this setting she also betrayed the Titans to Slade (not called Deathstroke in this continuity), but was portrayed as more "lost" than evil or vindictive. The animated Terra sacrificed herself to save the Titans, becoming a statue. She was voiced by Ashley Johnson.
She is a small teenage girl with big powers. Gifted with amazing earth-moving abilities, Terra can make rocks fly, mountains crumble, and the ground tremble beneath her feet." Terra may also have feelings for our resident animal lover, Beast Boy. However, there might be more to the "hip, funny young hero" than what initially meets the eye...
After she mistakenly thinks Beast Boy told Robin their secret (that she can't control her powers), she runs off--with Slade continuing to watch her every move. She later returned to the Titans tower later on, and asked if she could still be a Titan. After gaining their trust, she became the sixth Titan to live in the tower.
The Titans later found out that she was working alongside Slade--giving him information on their weaknesses, their Tower defense system and more. Though Beast Boy promised that no matter what she did, he'd never stop being her friend--but the handing of his friends over to this mad-man was too much for him to handle.
Beast Boy's rejection turned Terra completely over to Slade's side, and felt no remorse till the very end about her decision. Terra took each of the Titans down, one by one, until the city belonged to Slade and her. What she didn't realize about the Titans though, is they don't go down easily--they returned to defeat her and Slade, only to find out that she had decided to leave Slade's side. Once she found she was unable to, Slade gained control of her body via the suit he had given her--it tied into her nervous system, allowing him to fight as long as she was up and willing.
She turned her powers onto Slade in her last effort to save herself from a horrible fate. Though it seemed everything would be all right in the end, Terra's powers had triggered a volcano --one that would annihilate everything in it's path. Sacrificing herself to save her friends and the city, Terra stopped the volcanic eruption from happening; for this sacrifice, she was turned into a statue made of the rapidly cooled lava. Though no safe way is known of extracting her now, the Titans are actively seeking a way to free their friend.
