Lawful Good Homonculus (Githyanki) 1st Level Psionicist
Personality: Marlene is a walking plot-device in terms of weird reactions. People will pretty much feel compelled to emote towards her in ways that are decidedly uncomfortable in retrospect. Bluntly, there's something disarmingly charming about Marlene that makes people want to express their hidden feelings publicly before her. Which is all the more funny given her emotional maturity and the fact that she reacts usually by razor-sharp logic.
Marlene herself is not exactly emotionally mature enough to do much emoting. She's fairly a blank slate in terms of emotional responses but seems driven by a bizarre compassion she doesn't understand to want to help those around her. This is partially by Merrix's design. Unfortunately, she also has an evil side that's brought out by Merrix's well chosen command words.
Like all good evil sides, this side is much more sexually forward and socially cruel.
Background: Marlene is the product of Merrix D'Cannith's engineering as he bound the soul of a Quori into an artificial Homonculus. Unfortunately, this was in fact half the portion of Aura's Quori soul and the two women cannot remain in each other's presence very long. Marlene's human DNA comes from the portions of Alice's own genes that were harvested from samples of Aurra. This rather demented little experiment is something that Merrix III intends to take full advantage of in turning her against Cassius.
Marlene herself is fully intelligent and capable as an adult in terms of her knowledge about the world but she is much like a warforged in other respects. This is due to the fact that she has full adult consciousness but very little experience about the world. Most of her knowledge is the kind that could be downloaded from a text book. Unfortunately, she maintains a limited access to the Githyanki's "Racial Memory" that provides her strange impulses and feelings that links her to that evil race.
Powers: Marlene's own abilities are rather difficult to gage as Merrix D'Cannith unwittingly has tapped into the abilities of Aurra's own Quori spirit, her mother, and the Githyanki material that comes from the Lich Queen herself. Suffice to say, she has the power of Deus Ex Machina that can be utilized in bizzare ways once per adventure with the expenditure of an Action Point.
Most of the time she's just sureally empathic and attractive to the opposite sex (along with the same sex if they have even the slightest bisexual tendencies--resulting in a lot of these moments Stupid Sexy Flanders ).
