In-Game Description

... but you can call me Sugar.

I once was an enterprising researcher at Crey Medical Technologies. My team was involved in finding a method to perform "chemical tonsilectomies", ie, no surgery involved. Cutting a few corners was routine; I borrowed a bit of material from the Revenant Hero Project, combined it with a promising mix of chemicals, and added a bit of sugar to make it taste better. Since this was all unautherized, I tested it on myself. Needless to say, I still have my tonsils. Now, however, they are super-powered!

Commentary

She is my second character to use Periodic Table symbols in her name, and the first with an actual formula. Since subscripts were not part of the chat system, I used lower case chemical symbols, with full size numbers. In HTML and CSS you can actually do it right:

C₆H₁₂O₆ = sugar

Going into the character generator, I knew her name, but I don't think anything else. I built her powers and looks, and description, based on what looked fun at the time. She needed to look professional, yet like a lady who wouldn't mind occasionally being called, "Sugar".

Hmm, her description covers the basis of her sonic attacks well. For the storm powers, they, uh, come from the DNA of a Revenant Hero. Yeah, that's it!

Like most my villains, she would have eventually aligned herself as a rogue.
