Carbon Tetrachloride

Carbon Tetrachloride (Carbon Tet for short, or Tetrachloromethane) is a major character in Chemical Culture. She is mostly known for being a former firefighter and Chloroform's sister. As of 2023, she is 203 years old making her one of the oldest Organochlorides.

Personality
Carbon Tetrachloride has a dark sense of humour and is seen making jokes about controversial topics. She never gets angry and is very calm. Often seen calling people and other Chemicals "degenerates". She refuses to use the name "Tetrachloromethane" because she thinks that IUPAC is like the Illuminati. She does not want to be organic. Her father Carbon Disulphide is responsible for this.

Carbon Tetrachloride used to pretend to be nice and protective towards humans when she was a firefighter because she wanted to be a nice Chemical. It was, again, C. Disulphide who made her accept herself and stop "trying to be who she cannot be".

Her brothers (Dichloromethane and Chloromethane) meant nothing to her while Chloroform was her whole world due to being both her sister and her mother. Unlike Chloromethane, DCM and Chloroform, she did not like Methanol. She has called her brothers "degenerates". Despite being a former dry-cleaner and a pioneer in dry-cleaning, C. Tetrachloride despises dry-cleaners. She is nice to Tetrachloroethylene whom she spent her early life with.

Early life
Carbon Tetrachloride became a firefighter in 1910 and worked as one until the 1980s. She was forced to retire because she "accidentally" killed humans during duty. She also had a short career in refrigeration like any other person in her family.

Carbon Tetrachloride opened her first dry-cleaner in the early 1920s. She was very successful in this industry and introduced Trichloroethylene and Tetrachloroethylene into dry-cleaning. Then C. Tetrachloride retired from this industry in the 1940s.

C. Tetrachloride made lava lamps and sold them.
