Origin:

As are the vast majority of Gi joe operatives, the young woman known only as the Chameleon is but a normal human, lacking ascendant powers of any sort. While she wields advanced weaponry in the course of her stealthy ways, she is otherwise normal in a physical sense.

Known Powers:

(none)

Equipment:

Armored Costume: the Chameleon's costume has a small amount of inherent protection from injury. Made from layered, padded armor, this skin-tight body suit offers the Chameleon Poor (4) protection from physical attacks, as long as they don't strike her in the head or chest.

While the former lacks protection altogether, the latter is enhanced by a body-molded, bullet-resistant vest. This vest enhances the protection offered to the Chameleon's torso to Excellent (20) in rank overall. This handy protection is applied to the Chameleon's torso as follows:

Ex 20 / Ty 6 / Fe 2 / Sh 0 / Sh 0

High-Density Laser Rifle: her primary armament (as it is her step-sister's weapon of choice), this device can be used to lethal effect by the Chameleon. Equipped with a scope for a +1 CS to hit, this weapon can inflict Excellent (20) Armor Piercing Energy damage per blast.

the Joe-Com: this is a new device given to all Joes since the group's reactivation. This high-tech wristband functions as an audio/video transceiver with various other goodies built in to help a soldier on the go, and is described in greater detail in its own equipment entry.

Semi-Automatic Pistol: a back-up weapon should her laser rifle fail her, the Chameleon also wields this gun in more... quiet situations, mostly where subtlety is paramount. She can fire this weapon to inflict Typical (6) Shooting damage with a single shot, +1 CS in a semi-automatic hail of lead.

Quirks:

(none)

Talents:

Advanced Guns: in addition to her standard marksmanship training, the Chameleon has been taught how to wield all manner of advanced, electronic weapon systems to perfect her charade. When wielding any such systems, such as her laser rifle, the Chameleon may do so at her Agy score +1 CS.

Computers: a skill that her half-sister lacks, the Chameleon is rather handy with computers, when you get down to it; that's how she traced her lineage, and all that. When building, programming, or operating a computer, the Chameleon should do so as though her Rsn was +1 CS in rank.

Detective / Espionage: since she's working in a highly dangerous role as a Baroness impostor, the Chameleon has naturally been well trained in techniques of subterfuge by the Gi Joe team. She's highly skilled in counter-intelligence methods, information gathering techniques, and more.

Guns: in order to help her defend herself should things go sour, much less pose as the Baroness proper, the Chameleon has been well-trained in the use of firearms. When using standard, semi-automatic, or fully automatic rifles or pistols, the Chameleon does so at her Agy score +1 CS.

Military: while her half-sister, Anastasia, may not have received formal military training, the Chameleon has - thanks to the elite Gi Joe team. This training, in addition to instilling the basics of military protocols and procedures in her mind, has given the Chameleon a keen tactical sense in battle.

Pilot / Air: to enhance her role as 'the Baroness', the Chameleon has been educated in the fine art of flying. While she's no fighter pilot when it comes down to it, the Chameleon can nonetheless get behind the stick of most any helicopter or fixed wing aircraft, and fly it with competence.

Contacts:

As a member of the Gi Joe team, the Chameleon can theoretically rely upon her fellows for assistance should she need it; of course, very few of them know that she is, in fact, not the Baroness. Furthermore, while posing as the Baroness, the Chameleon can count Cobra as one of her contacts.

Ah, the life of a double agent.

Costume:

In her role as the Baroness, the Chameleon wears a pair of black leather pants with red trim, a black leather shirt with red trim under a black bullet-proof vest with a red Cobra sigil in the center, black leather boots and gloves, a black leather belt with a red Cobra belt buckle, and red arm guards.

Not to mention her false, round-rimmed spectacles.

Personality:

The Chameleon is a young girl with a good heart. Once she discovered her illegitimate half-sister's truckload of dirty laundry, as it were, she's done everything she could to clean it up once and for all. In fact, she's withstood considerable pain, and endures extreme danger, in order to do so.

Story:

Herself the adopted daughter of French revolutionaries, the young girl who would grow up to become the Chameleon spent a very long time tracing her lineage once she found out that she was, in fact, adopted. What she discovered about her true family, though, didn't make her feel very good.

You see, she found out that her illegitimate half-sister, Anastasia, was none other than the Baroness, one of Cobra's most notorious and wanted operatives. Armed with this knowledge, the girl came forward to the authorities, and wanted to do her part to bring the Baroness to justice.

After being put in contact with the heroic Gi Joe team, the girl volunteered for dangerous reconstructive surgery, surgery that would parallel that which Anastasia herself was currently undergoing; you see, the Baroness had been badly burned yet again on some Cobra mission or another.

Once she had recovered from this surgery, and after she'd been trained enough by the Joes in a whirlwind military education course, the girl leapt into action as the Gi Joe team's Chameleon. Her very first mission was, of course, to capture the Baroness - which was easy while the Cobra was hospitalized.

The tricky part came next, for she took her sister's place in the Cobra organization itself! Posing as the Baroness herself, the Chameleon was in a unique position to gather all kinds of information about Cobra, and could act to sabotage various operations the group had underway...

Note: exactly when the Chameleon replaced the Baroness is not currently known, nor is the exact duration of her mission a known factor. She may've already split, having done significant damage to Cobra, or may be with the group to this very day, dooming various Cobra operations to failure.
