Atta Barbara
Atta Barbara is an unsophisticated, and contradictory person. She takes pride in her crass behavior, but is also ashamed of herself. She wants to be adored and desired by all, but also wishes to be left alone. Clear markers of a perpetual child with severe social anxiety issues. Atta is a performer at heart. She measures her self worth by crowd reaction. She was once the star of children’s low budget public access edutainment show that incidentally became a cult classic. Acting is one of her few skills and she’s not very good at it. That said, in lieu of getting a real job, she prefers to live in abject poverty and survive off of her TV show royalties.
She has a habit of picking up inexpensive hobbies to pass the time. Recently she took up parkour, mostly because she couldn’t afford a skateboard. Unfortunately this decision would change her life forever after she accidentally tumbled into, and killed an ancient alien warlord.
Her little accident caused her to absorb the essence of Lord Helium, the greatest of the noble gases. Afterward she gained the powers of this alien royal, and could manipulate helium to her will… well almost. She tends to float around uselessly the majority of the time. She hasn’t quite got the hang of being lighter than air.
In the process of smiting the alien king, she accidentally rescued Carbon… only for them both to be immediately targeted by every other chemical element in the galaxy. Now with the help of Carbon, Atta must master her helium powers and protect both her friend and Earth as a whole from the incoming threat of the noble gasses and their minions.
Atta dreamed of having a higher purpose. Fate gave her one. Now she thinks she’d rather just waste her life reading comics.
