Name: Arlene Parsons (Thank the name generator.) She has a self-given nickname, "Ace".
Age: 29
Appearance: Short, probably like 5'2 or 5'3. She's slightly dark-skinned, with mid-back length, plain black hair which she usually puts in a ponytail or bun. She has a very nasty looking chemical burn on her left wrist, so she's almost always in long sleeves. She has dark green eyes, usually no makeup, unless of course blemishes. She's petite, very skinny, and she has absolutely no "fashion sense" as it is called; she'll often wear mismatched clothes, even socks. She'll wear stupid-looking ties sometimes. She has thick-rimmed black glasses.
Villain or Hero: Hero
Height: 5'2
Ethnicity: European, with some Arabic ancestors
Occupation: Chemist/pharmacist
Superpowers: She can instantly visualize the results of any and every chemical reaction, and given the right materials, she can basically make any compound she wants to, and predict the properties of the result. Low on oxygen in an isolated environment? No worries, she'll break some glass and get out the oxygen atoms. So her major power is visualizing/predicting chemical reactions. I suppose a minor would be that her hands are tough enough that they can withstand most nasty chemicals. She's an insanely quick thinker, and can improvise something as complicated as a solar cell from a couple of computer chips, in about 5-10 minutes.
Weaknesses: A normal human brain consumes about 20% of the body's energy. Arlene's brain, having all those perks, requires about 35-40%. Because of this, she is almost always hungry, and she'll start to feel dizzy if she puts her power to use without eating enough. She's also extremely reckless, and disregards basic rules for safety in a lab. Oh, that'll be flammable? Too bad, she can't be bothered to move the oxygen tank. She's also a shrimp because so much of her energy goes to her brain, and her muscles are a bit neglected.
Personality: Cheerful, perky, but terrible in social situations. Her intelligence quite clearly does not extend to the 'social' category. She gets nervous easily but she can be (recklessly) curious. She likes to go into explanations far more scientifically detailed than they really need to be, and she's sometimes OCD about having a clean and tidy living space. It is best only to call her Arlene if you're in a formal situation; otherwise she prefers Ace (purely because it sounds cool). Sometimes she says "rude" things without meaning to or realizing it until it's too late and she's realized her mistake. She obsessively disinfects any surface she uses, due to bacteriophobia.
Background: She grew up in Northern Ireland (and thus has a very weak accent), and her parents moved to the US for job-related reasons. She was very poor until she became a successful chemist. For a short amount of time, she did some research, but the scientific papers were a massive bore, so she quit. Arlene's power first manifested when she was 8 years old, when she first started reading books about chemistry. Everything clicked unusually well for an 8-year-old, but unfortunately at the same time she began to become detached from school friends and the like, she just started to degenerate in terms of social skills. No amount of therapy helped with this, but of course, her science teachers loved her. Her purpose is definitely brains.
Additional Info: None that I can think of. I'll probably add some more.
