In-Character Information
Origin Story
Casey grew up in Bedford Park, ON, Canada, and lived in Paragon City, RI, before moving more recently to Millennium City.
History and Current Events
Casey Bauer didn't decide to go by "Electrocutie." She just needed a job.
Conditions
Electricity Control
Casey produces and manipulate minor electrical fields. While she lacks the raw power to do much damage with this skill, she possesses a fine control over it that permits her to accelerate tissue regeneration, and push past normal physical limits significantly by artificially convulsing muscle. She also exhibits some small capacity to induce and modify magnetic states, and sense and understand their nature. Similarly, she picks up electrical rhythms, in general, and can effectively "sense" the intentions or purpose of devices that operate electrically, and "see" the paths of electrical currents.
Empathic Rhythm
Casey is perpetually aligned with the electrical pulsing of brainwaves within about two meters. However, as the number of minds in range grows, her capacity to discern who is whom diminishes exponentially, overwhelming her. In a wider radius, she naturally accelerates the thoughts of those around her. Empathic Rhythm is autonomic — Casey can't turn it off, and her thoughts are often invaded by the static of nearby minds.
Time Skip
Casey's experience of time is slightly and erratically accelerated. She frequently experiences reality as if it were a series of jump cuts, often loses track of when (and to a lesser extent, where) she is, and loses conversational context easily.

Creator's Notes
Electrocutie is a retcon of a City of Heroes character of mine, Racing Thoughts (Kinetics/Psionics). I have reset her age to be about what it had originally been, then (early 20s), necessarily resetting her age then to now be several years earlier. This makes Racing Thoughts her juvenile hero persona (mid-teens), in which the electrical nature of her powers is not yet understood, and, in the rush to categorize her, she is mislabeled as a psionic. Her time-related powers of slightly speeding or slowing others remain largely unchanged, although there is no Fulcrum Shift equivalent in Champions Online for her to use. The trade-off is a deeper embrace of the rapid healing metaphor, exhibited in Thundering Return, and in personal time acceleration, demonstrated by Revitalize and Nanobot Swarm.
Roleplay Hooks
While Casey was a hero in Paragon City, she operated as Racing Thoughts, and was a child. It is unlikely anyone from Paragon City would recognize her. However, it is entirely likely that she would recognize someone from Paragon City, if they had been famous enough.
Casey's Empathic Rhythm offers opportunities for your character's thoughts and mood to partially invade her thoughts and mood.
