Angie is a former Ultimate Guardian who retired to pursue a civilian life as a musician. Now quite the celebrity for her popular albums and graced with quite the loyal following, it made quite an impression on Claudette that Angie was still willing to be so accommodating to her on her first night in town. She showed her the sights and helped her to get her bearings on how to live in the city. This gesture meant a great deal to her and Angie's friendship, though brief has become quite important to her to maintain. Though outwardly they seem quite different in many respects they have much in common. In the United States Claudette is spared much of the media attention Angie faces on a daily basis, she's no stranger to the spotlight and she has often wondered what her life could have been if she had gone a different route. Angie's retirement to pursue these dreams is often the cause of a great deal of introspection. Claudette had barely considered what her life would have been if she had not become a Fleur. | Angie is a former Ultimate Guardian who retired to pursue a civilian life as a musician.

<div style="text-indent:40px;">At this stage in her career perception of Fleur d'Amiens is mixed. Many in France remember watching her more or less grow up on the evening news and have been personally effected by her deeds in a positive way. This engenders a lot of loyalty at home. Abroad, especially in the United States she encounters a lot of concerns about foreign interests upon U.S. security. Also she suffers occasionally from the strange tendency of some American's to be somewhat hostile to French people and their culture, though thankfully this is a very small minority of people she encounters.

The Fleur d'Amiens
Kinetics and Areas of Expertise
Mutant Powers
Kinetic Absorption Fleur d'Amiens primary and most noticeable ability is her capacity to absorb and manipulate incoming physical forces of motion and energy. This can take many forms, from sapping the kinetic energy in heated molecules near an open flame or draining the inertia from a fired bullet. While this power can appear awe inspiring in action it comes with a price. Her abilities to use this energy to her advantage is entirely parasitic in nature. Meaning that until she is in the presence of some source of potential energy she cannot perform any feat beyond her own human capabilities. In the right conditions this ability on its own can make her nearly invulnerable to hostile aggression. Much like the principles of some martial artists, she uses her opponents force and power against them. The stronger they are the stronger she can become, ramping up by sapping more and more power. Melee attacks are slowed to a crawl, barely impacting upon her so that she can utilize their strength to riposte with her own kinetically augmented blow. Projectiles rarely make it past her fields at all, and when they do, bullets usually would have higher velocity if simply thrown at her by hand then when they finally reach their target.
Kinetic Sensory Perception Fleur d'Amiens cells produce a constant electromagnetic field that stretches out in a spherical pattern from her center of gravity. Objects entering this field in an anomalous fashion are detectable neurologically in a form of second sight. This is not precognition in the sense that she can see future events near her person, but she can sense the movement of objects at the precise moment they connect with her field's radius and react to them accordingly. This has limits of course, human reaction time still requires nerve response and so objects travelling at great speeds, such as firearms or super-speed endowed opponents could take her by surprise if her defensive fields were not yet raised.
Kinetic Strength Augmentation When in the presence of sufficient quantities of force, Fleur d'Amiens can use this potential energy to augment her own physical strength exponentially. Just as with her defensive capabilities, this is also limited by the circumstances. She thrives in battles of attrition. The longer a fight lasts, the weaker her opponent will become and the stronger she will be as a result.
Limitations Since all of her abilities are still subject to the conservation of mass-energy principle, she will always need some form of conduit to provide her with energy to fuel them. Also, because of her need to ramp up her defenses and her damage potential, she is always weakest at the start of any encounter. This makes assassins and specialists at quick, debilitating opening strikes a weakness. If she is unable to absorb or anticipate that opening strike she will be severely debilitated.
Advanced Training
Acrobatics Though she does not possess super speed and inhuman agility, she can augment her motion in various ways to be more maneuverable. She can achieve greatly higher leaps and bounds than most athletes by manipulating the force of gravity's pull. This is difficult to do and rarely amounts to more than a few extra yards of height at a time.
Savate Claudette has some limited training in martial arts but usually relies more on brute force than finesse in attacking as its difficult to control the finer points of ones movement while also directing waves of force. She does employ several techniques of the French Boxing form known as Savate. In particular, the Fouetté kick is exceptionally good at stunning a single opponent and lends itself well to her methods of focusing force at particular points for explosive impact.
Pilot Training Many Fleur's undergo training to operate fighter wings used often in UNTIL operations. Though few are provided permanent individual vehicles this skill is imperative for those missions that demand air superiority. Fleur de Lis's in air combat are ranked among the best pilots in the world. Claudette has served in the Castillon air wing on two assignments. In the last she received some measure of notoriety for what she called the "Ejection Bomb" maneuver. She did a 180 roll and fired herself down upon an enemy bunker with the ejection controls and used the incoming force to turn herself into a human warhead. The resulting damage to anti-air weaponry saved many lives.
"The Falcon"
Fleur de Lis Strike Fighter
Overview "The Falcon" is the name of Fleur d'Amiens personal aircraft. Shipped over from Paris and retrofitted by the best engineers UNTIL could provide to turn this war machine into a crime fighting tool. It is primarily designed for speed, maneuverability, and riot control but retains the ability to deal out lethal force in a true warfare scenario.
Weapon Systems The original rotating machine guns on the fighter have been updated with two feeds, one connected to live ammunition and the other to far less lethal rubber bullets. Both are connected to the main targeting computer for pinpoint accuracy and quick firing solutions to avoid civilian casualties. The Falcon can also deploy two different types of missiles. One air to ground rocket propelled tear gas grenade for dispersing mobs, and another air to air missile for handling more serious airborne threats.
Auxiliary Systems Aside from the main targeting computer and ejection system, tailor made to Claudette's specifications for maximum velocity ejections, there are several other notable components. The Falcon has an advanced auto-pilot system capable of following complex commands via remote. This is useful for retaining air support when the situation demands she leave the craft. It also houses a number of advanced scanning mechanisms for detecting hostile movement, energy readings and thermal emissions at considerable range.
Personal Life
Engagement
Though this occasionally causes some disapproval in the United States, in France it was not difficult to be an openly gay public servant. There were questions asked of her about this from time to time but it was seen in many circles she was viewed as a positive role model to the homosexual community. When it became public knowledge that she was engaged to a member of her squad, a tech specialist and fellow operative, Fleur d'Avignon, named Lucienne Mersault their relationship became quite the toast of the tabloids. They did several interviews on the subject but decided to have a private ceremony closed off from the press in Claudette's hometown of Amiens. This fairy tale story was not to be. In the months leading up to the wedding a tragedy during a mission in Tunisia left several Fleurs injured and Lucienne was killed in action. This event, more than perhaps any other, defines many of the relationships Claudette has today. She has not since had any real romantic involvement and much public speculation has been voiced as to her mental health in the wake of this disaster. Her public image has never fully been able to step out from under this shadow.
Friends and Allies
Fleur de Paris
Marguerite Baudoin, known to most of the world as Fleur de Paris or Le Papillon, has been like a second mother to Claudette. Though she can over-reach and times and has on some occasions appeared harsh to her, publicly and privately, she does so out of a sincere desire to see her survive in a vocation that all too often destroys those who are unable to weather it. Where Claudette's birth parents are quite warm and supportive, despite the situation, Marguerite can be relied upon to be surgically and brutally honest when the situation calls for it. Claudette has looked up to her since she was a small girl. In many ways it is this former heroes legacy she wishes to live up to.
Seventy Six
Since making the transition to Millennium City, the hero known as Seventy Six, or Ted Beare to the public has gone to great lengths to make her feel at home, both in the Ultimate Guardians organization of which he is a part, and in the city as a whole. Initially uncertain of what to make of this often shy, soft spoken man. She witnessed his efforts in building up a shelter in Westside known as the Phoenix Project and his attempts to offer solutions to those who were forced to turn to crime rather than simple brute force. This has left an impact on her that stays her hand more often than it may have before. Seventy Six is also refreshingly down to Earth compared to the more exotic denizens of Millennium City which makes his company invaluable if for not greater reason than someone to share the same perplexed look when encountering something unbelievable. With so many of her friends and former team scattered across the globe it's been invaluable to make a professional connection with a similar person.
Angie Harrison
Angie is a former Ultimate Guardian who retired to pursue a civilian life as a musician. Now quite the celebrity for her popular albums and graced with quite the loyal following, it made quite an impression on Claudette that Angie was still willing to be so accommodating to her on her first night in town. She showed her the sights and helped her to get her bearings on how to live in the city. This gesture meant a great deal to her and Angie's friendship, though brief has become quite important to her to maintain. Though outwardly they seem quite different in many respects they have much in common. In the United States Claudette is spared much of the media attention Angie faces on a daily basis, she's no stranger to the spotlight and she has often wondered what her life could have been if she had gone a different route. Angie's retirement to pursue these dreams is often the cause of a great deal of introspection. Claudette had barely considered what her life would have been if she had not become a Fleur.
