History.
Dr. Hope Renee Chandler is a brilliant medical engineer, with multiple degrees and a high level of intelligence. Most importantly, she is a mutant.
Hope is the middle child of Marcus and Mary Chandler of the Charleston Chandlers, a wealthy upper class family. Hope was raised in a world of old fashioned Southern manners where anything she could want was at her fingertips. However, she was a shy young girl and from an early age showed signs of an above average intelligence. She has always excelled at math, science and logical reasoning. Her interests really lay in in biology and chemistry. Deemed gifted she was sent ahead in school and flourish academically.
At the time everyone assumed Hope’s intelligence was the luck of the draw, a fluke. No one knew it was the result of a mutation until Hope was fifteen when she had a seizure and showed the first signs of her mutant powers. Hope’s X-gene causes the bioelectric signals in her body to travel faster and fire more often than in normal humans which means it is responsible for her genius intelligence. Yet, it is also the root of her seizures, caused by an over abundance of bioelectricity in her brain.
Though she was offered a chance to attend Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters, Hope found the boarding school environment too confining and left after a year. She had learned to control her powers for the most part and was able to return to the academia that she loved. She graduated high school two years early and went on to Harvard for a pre-medical degree.
At Harvard she met another genius, Anthony Stark, who was more than capable of matching her intelligence. They had a brief fling, but Hope's peaceful ways didn't agree with Tony's warmonger business sense. They parted and Hope went on to John Hopkins for medical school. At the age of twenty-three she got her doctorate and went on to study further into human genetics.
It surprised her when after she graduate Tony offered her a job at Stark Industries. He didn't want her making weapons, but medical technology for the battlefield. She accepted the job, even though she had a very lucrative offer from Worthington Labs as well. It took a bit of time for her to shift her mind towards engineering but she has become a brilliant medical engineer for Stark Industries and works closely with the military and SHIELD on what they need for the battlefield to keep their soldiers alive.
While she and Tony occasionally clashed they are just friends, except when they decide to sleep together, and enjoy the mental challenge they present each other. She is the person Tony will call if he can't get Pepper Potts on the phone.
She finds herself at the Mutant Rights Enforcers camp through a "loan". She is there to help them with their medical needs.
Personality.
Hope’s mutant ability comes from an increase in the bioelectric levels of her body. Her nervous system works at a higher level than normal humans, not only giving her genius intelligence, but incredible reasoning skills. Math and science, factual memorization are her where her talents lie while art and artistic endeavors are out of her talent range. She’s uncannily good at puzzles.
She is also able to generate “bolts” of bioelectricity which she can throw at other people but only in a three foot range or transfer through skin to skin contact. These “bolts” render a person unconscious in seconds since their bodies are not adapted to handle the sudden increase in bioelectricity and they will stay that way for hours to days depending on the severity of the shock. This extra activity also gives her a natural shield from telepaths, making her mind a just a rumble of static to anyone trying to listen in.
The downside to this ability is if Hope does not discharge at regular intervals she suffers from grand maul seizures which can erase portions of her short term memory. She has also been known to short out some electrical appliances.
She has the odd habit of talking to herself nearly all the time and often loud enough for people to hear. When she has an idea she will write on any available surface and in a short hand code she developed herself. It’s very hard to get her attention when she is having one of these brainstorms.
Unquestionaly brilliant, Hope can't stand idiots and fools. She hates violence, seeing it as just a refuge for anyone who can't think of another solution. When she believes in something, she will defend her cause and stand up for herself with a surprising amount of spine. Arguments and intellectual debates are fun for her and she'll readily engage anyone in them, but gets frustrated by losing or failure. Her good looks are of little importance to her, but she does know how to use them to get funding or disarm people into thinking she's just a pretty face. She takes more pride in her intelligence and will brag about that at a drop of a hat.
Yet, she prefers to spend her time on her own, doing research or working in her lab. Her job puts her in the public eye in many cases, she only tolerates it, she never enjoys it. She only has a few close friends, Tony Stark, Charles Xavier and Hank McCoy being the ones she spends the most time with. She has no real close female friends.
