Have they always had inherent superpowers, not reliant on any device?

As human as anyone not from Earth is, I suppose.
You don't have to be born on Earth to be human. If both your parents are human, you're human by definition WHEREVER you were born - but neither Jor-El nor Lara were human.

Has the character ever been in a long-standing romantic relationship with another Legionnaire?

Not Chuck Taine, no longstanding romantic relationship with another Legionnaire.
Just to clarify a couple of things:
1) On the human question: if we are using the "descended from Earth people" criterion, then whether this person is such may depend on the continuity we're talking about, though in at least one version his home planet is confirmed as an Earth colony.
2) I took the "always had inherent superpowers" to be a question of whether they were born with powers or not. I believe every version of this character who has been shown has had powers, though he was not born with them.

Is it Kent Shakespeare? (I don't know much about this character so he may well have been born with his powers.)

Not Kent Shakespeare (who received his powers from some sort of virus or something).
Hint: While this character has been a Legionnaire, it is not someone who would normally be thought of as a Legionnaire.

The character is a male human, not from Earth who has been a Legionnaire but isn't currently, and isn't usually thought of as one. They appeared in the Preboot, reboot (but was not a memeber there) and retroboot. He has powers but was not born with them, and has never been in a long standing relationship with another Legionnaire. He is currently believed to be alive in the retroboot. He is not Matter Eater Lad, Superman (Kal-El), Rond Vidar, Chuck Taine or Kent Shakespeare.
