STATUS unveiled
Martine Simone Idelle Renard was born in Böblingen, Germany to Denis Renard (French investor and heir) and Maria Lambert (American USMC general). Her parents had met in New Orleans while Denis was on vacation in the states and she was visiting her parents on leave. They spent the next six months writing back and forth until Denis arrived in Germany for a "visit" and never left. One month later, they were married. Ten months later, their first child Martine came along.

The vast majority of her childhood was spent travelling around, first for her mother's job and then - once Maria was honorably discharged - for her father's. The closest thing she had to any "friends" were her three younger brothers and all four siblings were perfectly happy with their pampered, nomadic lifestyle. Then, in 2004, her mother accepted a full-time position as a logistics manager at a Boston company and life as the family was accustomed to changed drastically.

Prior to this move the kids had never: lived in a single home for more than two years, attended a regular school, or spent more than five consecutive days in the U.S. The abrupt changes madde for an uncomfortable period of culture shock and resentment for all four kids. Martine was the quickest to adjust, stepping up to set an example for her younger brothers by throwing herself into high school extracurriculars and American culture headfirst.

Always an overachiever, Martine did well enough in high school to gain acceptance to Stanford university where she pursued a degree in bioengineering & physics. She graduated with honors and returned to Boston, taking a year from her studies before enrolling as a doctoral candidate in Harvard's biophysics graduate program. Upon receiving her doctorate, she took a high-paying but soul-sucking R&D job at a pharmaceuticals company before quitting to join a fledgling AI startup. She remained in that position until the snappening of 2018 when, like everyone else she knew, Martine found herself in San Francisco with little explanation.

True to form, however, she rolled with it and adjusted to the strange "move" as well as she'd done with every other upheaval in her life. She is currently employed at a medical research think tank and living in the Bernal Heights neighborhood. Recently, her alterego, Monica Rambeau, has awakened and sent Martine's life into another whirlwind.

Monica Rambeau has always been devoted to serving and protecting the public, both as herself and in her various costumed guises. before she became one of the brightest stars in the age of marvels, she was a dedicated lieutenant in the new orleans harbor patrol -- until she was bombarded by extra-dimensional energies and gained the power to convert her own body into energy and back again at will...

et cetera
hypercosmic awareness she does not process sensory reception like a regular being anymore. Her consciousness perpetuates approximate human senses allowing her to know just what she's seeing, hearing or feeling and translating it to something her physiology recognizes. To this extent she's also aware when something is grievously wrong with the universe. eidetic memory Ever since she acquired her powers, Monica's photographic memory improved, allowing her to have total recall of everything she sees. master combatant a master at hand-to-hand combat, thanks to her law enforcement background and training by Captain America during her time with the Avengers. able to copy or mix several types of martial arts and movements and analyze an opponent's strengths/weaknesses in real time. shockwave rider experimental vehicle powered by an infinite power source known as the Zero Point Squirt drive. Also contains 'five tesseract zones' and gear for a full squad including 'personal flight harnesses' which allow non-powered individuals to fly.

off-canon
molecular manipulation the ability to mentally control, transform, and manipulate the molecules of all matter and energy. this allows her to animate inanimate materials by causing constant mass movement of molecules, reconfigure all forms of matter and them into different substances and forms (such as, for example, turning air into glass), and can change matter into energy and back again. she can even affect the molecules of matter with mystical properties. undrjarn the all-weapon a vambrace created from the remains of the Mjolnir of Earth-1610, it has the ability to changes into various type of weapons as it wielder wants. having been made from a version of Mjolnir, it retains a worthiness enchantment, allows her to teleport, and grants her allspeak.

energy form

• appearance alteration Monica can use her facility over light to modulate her energy and modify her appearance, and outwardly take the form of other people. • flight & superhuman speed Monica is capable of moving and reacting at superhuman speeds ranging from the speed of sound to lightspeed while in her energy form. • intangibility She can phase through solid matter and certain energy fields depending on their wavelengths. • invisibility she is often inherently invisible in most of her forms but can make herself visible to the naked eye. • immortality Monica is a being of pure energy which makes her functionally immortal. She doesn't age beyond her prime. • energy duplication When she encounters a new or unfamiliar energy, Monica can often duplicate it given enough time for analysis. • energy absorption capable of absorbing energy given her own energy form is of the right type and at the right wavelength. • energy blasts can control both the type and quantity of energy she wishes to transmit, and can also divert energy (hard light for example) for use as force beams with the equivalent of 300 tons of TNT of explosive force.

personality
leo, entj, type 5, ravenclaw Martine is arrogant enough to think she's smarter and better-looking than most people but those persistent (or masochistic) enough to ride out her many ego trips find a generous, empathetic, and fiercely loyal woman who plays hard and works harder. she can be vain, competitive, reckless, territorial + obnoxiously self-absorbed at times.
