Average Hero/Villain Information:

When performing super-heroic activities, Chase wears a red, robe-like shirt, and split hakama tucked into black ninja-boots. Over this, she wears a jointed, light plate-armor chest-plate and a gladiator skirt. She is a member of Le Casse-cou, and works closely with the team, actually taking residence at the base. (Her outfit looks like this: images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090111174648/avatar/images/thumb/1/12/Princess_Azula.png/250px-Princess_Azula.png)

Powers:

• Superhuman senses: Each one of Chase's five senses is super powerful, on scales similar to the senses of Daredevil. She is a sensory powerhouse.
  
  Her sense of smell is such that she can recognize individuals by scent, track scents through heavy rain, or detect the scent of a person on a bedsheet that has been washed twice.
  
  Her sense of touch is such that she can 'read' printed letters using only her fingers, feel the body heat of a person from five feet away, and detect minor changes in the air around her. Her somatic sense of her body is so great that she can effectively 'see' where objects are in relation to her body as she moves through the air.
  
  Her sense of taste is such that she can count the number of grains of salt on a pretzel, or identify the ingredients of whatever she eats.
  
  Her sense of hearing is such that she can hear well above and well below the normal human range. She can detect individual heartbeats in a room full of ambient noise, hear through sound-proofing, or hear a whisper on the other side of a football field. In combination with her sense of touch, this forms a 'radar' sense, giving her an accute awareness of her position in space.
  
  Her sense of sight is such that she can see clearly in low light so long as she is not in total darkness. She can make out the motions of a person's eyes at a distance of 100 meters, and detect types of radiation and miniscule movements that a normal person would not be able to. She can predict motion based on slight tensions on a person's body.
  
  
• Psychometry- Chase can determine the history of a person or object in a moment simply by touching it. She can tell what happened in a room by touching enough objects to get a collective view of what happened.
  
  
• Power Suppression: Chase is able to emit a suppressive field that negates certain forms of energy. It suppresses the energies required for powers such as telekinesis, energy blasts, telepathy, magic, and unnatural augmentation. This power only seems to affect organic bodies, and brings them to their 'base' functioning level.
  

Weaknesses: Chase's body possesses no superhuman resistance, and she can be injured in conventional ways. If caught off guard, high pitched frequencies or bright lights can stun her, though she will adapt to them in a few moments.

Her Psychometry is an inexact method. Unless she touches an item that has had direct contact with a person, it is difficult to discern exactly what happened in a certain place. People who do not possess any form of power, or have very limited powers form 'holes' in her vision, causing her to theorize that her powers were specifically designed to locate people with powers.

Chase's ability suppression is a very useful power, in that it limits the abilities of her foes. It strips away any abilities that require energy that is not purely organic. She would be able to turn off pyrokinesis just as well as she would be able to negate magic. However, this power simply strips people down to their base physical abilities. A person whose muscles inherently allowed for super strength (from density or tensile strength as opposed to some other form of augmentation) would retain this power under her suppressive field. Hence, while it turns off her psychometry, her enhanced senses remain active. The field only spans for about 100 feet around her.

Mutations: If looked at closely, one can see that Linda's eyes have four pupils. They turn red when her suppressive field is in effect.

Eye Color: Normally Honey Brown, but red when certain powers are active.
Height: 5'7"
Build: Athletic/lean

Overall Physical Description:

Linda has dark hair and Asian features. She has large, almond shaped eyes and a pale complexion. He has glossy, raven hair that falls below her shoulders.
She has the physical attributes of a sprinter and a martial artist, and is in profound physical shape. She has long limbs, though is quite a bit stronger than she appears. She has very fine muscle tone, and is generally of an attractive firmness.
When in motion, she appears as a flurry of motion, so quick and coordinated that it is on the brink of peak human ability. Her agility often astounds those around her.

Overall Personality Description:

Most people who meet Chase would describe her as strange. She is quiet, though not shy, and contributes to conversations when necessary. She is uncannily intuitive, and that is often unsettling to others. She often touches things or people for seemingly no reason, when really she is only examining them more closely.
When actually pursuing someone, Chase takes on a slightly predatory air, gaining a focus that is difficult to break. Her interactions with others become broken, as she prefers to devote most of her attention to the task at hand.
Chase has several quirky behaviors that other people find odd, such as preferring not to stand close to windows or talking to inanimate objects. People note that she often seems to be contemplating something. Lastly, she is fond of riddles, poetry, and cryptic speech. Much of what makes her tick is a mystery.

Skills:

• Trained operative: Linda was trained in the ways of the ninja by her father. She has an almost unbelievable grasp of martial arts and economy of motion, and is a marvel to watch. Even though she has no enhanced physical abilities aside from her senses, she is capable of dodging gunfire with her evasiveness and agility alone. She is a master of Kyukushin, Isshinryu, and Shotokan Karate, Jujitsu and Judo, as well as the Bagua Zhong and Chow Gar styles of wushu. She is skilled in the use of bladed weapons and gunplay, as well as remaining undetected.
  
  
• Chase is a skilled sprinter and cross-country runner, capable of running at a constant pace for several hours before having to stop.
  
  
• Due to her senses and coordination, Chase's aim is nearly immaculate, and she rarely ever misses with guns or thrown weapons
  
  
• Due to her time in the circus, Chase is a nearly unmatched acrobat, contortionist, and evasive specialist.

History:

Born in the Nagasaki prefecture of Japan, to a Japanese-American soldier and a Chinese super-model turned house-wife, Linda was named after her grandmother, and lived a life of home-schooled simplicity. She learned both English and Japanese, and studied martial arts and secret operative skills with her father until she was thirteen years old.

That all changed when racist mobsters, hateful of the mixed races of the family, attacked their small house. The authorities were able to arrive, but not before the mobsters had murdered her father and beaten her mother into a comatose state. They hadn't found Linda, and she was escorted away safely, but as her mutant powers manifested, she experienced the whole scene with new senses.

With no legal guardian, Linda was passed into and orphanage, and subsequently, foster care. Her foster parents were cruel, selling her into the service of a traveling circus. She became an acrobat and a contortionista, and there she met many mutants. She recognized her ability to suppress their powers, and even found it useful on several occasions.

As soon as she was able to liberate herself, she left the circus, devoting herself to honing her powers and re-learning the arts that her father had taught her. She became a mercenary, doing jobs for money to survive. Soon, her skills in a random Skrull encounter got her noticed by Le Casse-cou. She was recruited, and has been a member for 4 years.

Anything Else: Chase carries various weapons including: shuriken, a combat knife, and a single Heckler and Koch Mk 23. She is a world-class combatant, though she secretly prefers to win her altercations without fighting by resorting to mind-games.
