Monica O'Neil was born in the town of Herford, Germany, as the sole daughter of an officer of the British Army and a teacher from Germany.

Following the event, she was taken into the custody of UNTIL, where she was studied and helped to adapt to her new situation, which was - and still is - a source for an identity crisis for her. This is not helped by the fact, that a lot of her memories are fragmented or seemingly missing - for one, she doesn't remember of what military force she was a part of during that failed mission and the British Army lists her as Honorably Discharged. UNTIL researchers theorized this might be caused by a faulty or incomplete transference process, but it is part of the reason why Monica is questioning her humanity sometimes - wondering if she really ever was human or whether she is just a copy or an AI, which was programmed to remember a human life. Furthermore, UNTIL has classified all information pertaining the incident, which makes shining light on the events even more difficult.<br>

After some time, she was moved by her UNTIL custodians to Millenium City, in order to make use of their facilities and to cooperate with the Harmon Industry Laboratories there, both to research and maintain her synthetic body. For the time being, she acts as an UNTIL agent on probation, under the supervision of UNTIL and Primus authorities.

Description

On first glance, the hero known as the Cobalt Shade appears as a synthetic human, an android with a female phenotype. Standing at about 6 feet and 2 inches tall, with a slender yet curvy figure and featuring artificial, violet eyes, charcoal hair and a flawless, obviously synthetic, pale skin, one might easily take Monica O'Neil for an automaton. While this is not far from the truth, at least from a technological standpoint, the reality is somewhat different. Her body is fully synthetic, without any form of organic tissue, but the software running it, is either a consciousness transferred from a human or at least based on it.
Cobalt Shade has so far demonstrated the ability to project particle energy and levitation by the use of an internal counter-gravity engine, possibly assisted by jet-boosters, depending on the various modules of equipment and armor she's using.
She's not really widely know and doesn't crave the attention and while she is officially operating under the "Cobalt Shade" alias, Monica is not really making a secret out of what she is doing.

Background

Monica O'Neil, 32 years old, wasn't always a mind inside a machine body. She used to be a MI6 operative, acting as a double agent within a cell of VIPER.
During that time, VIPER was sheltering and funding Dr Slobodan Mihalovic, a rogue cybernetics scientist, who had stolen research data and prototypes from the robotics company he used to work for.
When it became apparent, that Dr Mihalovic intended to betray his new employer as well, it was Monica's team that was sent to claim VIPER's return of investment.
However, the good doctor had anticipated this. The team was ambushed by his robotic creations, while he escaped with the data and some prototypes.
VIPER's forces were all but anihilated. It wasn't before an UNTIL team arrived at the scene, when Monica was found as the sole survivour. More or less.
By means that UNTIL scientists are still investigating, Monica's consciousness had been transfered into an Athena-Type MkIV android body protype, which Mihalovic left behind. Monica herself doesn't remember anything after the ambush, however. </p> Presently, she acts as an operative of UNTIL, upon whom she also depends on for maintanance and repairs. </p>


Powers

Monica's body is significantly stronger and more durable than that of a normal human. When supplied with sufficient energy, an internal counter-gravity device allows for flight and body can move and jump beyond normal human levels.
Inside her arms, several weapon systems have been integrated; including a plasma cannon, a micro-missile launcher and a submachine gun.
Through the use of modular armour and equipment elements, these abilities can be enhanced or additional one can be added.


Since her mind is essentially software, she can't be read by psychics and has no detectable aura.

Flaws

Her body and armour modules depend heavily on power sources that need frequent replacing. Additional to needing her sources of energy replaced often, her lack of ability to heal naturally (her body may mend small bruises on its own) makes her dependent on the technological expertise of UNTIL and Harmon Industries engineers for maintenance.
As a synthetic being, her artificial nature makes her susceptible to expert hackers to a degree (her own security systems are well capable to defend against any lesser kind of threat), which is why she prefers to forego any kind of data connection to the outside in order to avoid this and keeps her virus definitions up-to-date during maintenance.
