Equipment:

Colt M1911A1 Pistol: should she find herself in a situation where she's expended all of her Wolverine's missiles, or otherwise winds up without heavy armor backup, Courtney does carry one handy, hip-holstered firearm on her person - just in case. This gun can be fired per a +4 weapon when firing a single shot, +5 if Courtney uses a clip-burning, semi-automatic volley of lead.

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 an intensity 6 - 250 mile - range, is equipped with a G.P.S. system, a heart monitor, and can store up to a terabyte of raw data - not bad, eh? Not only is the thing a nice, high tech video phone, though, but it can also save one's life in a pinch!

You see, this device also stores a variety of nutrients it can use to supplement activity, which are absorbed directly into one's pores (think of this as intensity 1 life support, where food is concerned).

Wolverine (Armored Missile Vehicle): Courtney's favorite ride, this heavy (about twenty ton) and heavily armored tank is essentially a giant, mobile missile launcher. The thing is armed with a total of twelve missiles with which Courtney can take enemy forces apart - if she doesn't just run them over first. Check out the Wolverine's entry for more information.

* The Joe-Com is something that the Joes started using in their new (as of 2001) comic, and hasn't been featured on a Cover Girl action figure... yet.

Hindrances:

(none)

Skills:

Boxing: a basic skill she picked up after hooking up with the Army, this talent allows Courtney to defend herself should she wind up in a situation where she has no weaponry - either her Wolverine or her Colt .45. In unarmed melee, Courtney can divide her pre-cardplay action score between two attacks, the last of which will occur as a contingent action.

Marksmanship: an essential part of Courtney's military training has involved the use of guns. Whether she wields a standard, semi-automatic, or fully automatic rifle or pistol, Courtney may do so as at one difficulty level lower than is usually required. She prefers to just use her Wolverine to tear stuff up, of course, but when she's expended all its missiles, she's more than happy to enter the fray guns a' blazing.

Military: disillusioned with the fashion industry, Courtney hooked up with the Army in order to give her life a totally new direction. Having done so, she now knows military protocols like the back of her hand, and has gained an innumerable amount of pals in the armed forces - above and beyond those in the Joe team. Further, she can reduce the difficulty of any action dependent on a working knowledge of military matters.

Performing: before she joined the Army, Courtney was a high fashion model, showcasing various new styles of clothing for all kinds of different designers. She was quite good at it too; she can use this skill, when passing an average Willpower action to distract a body, opposed by her target's own Willpower score. She may have left this life behind, but she most likely 'still has it'...

Repair: in her life's mission of forever distancing herself from her former occupation, Courtney is continually undertaking jobs and learning skills that are decidedly unfeminine. For instance, she's pursued a career in the Army's Armor division, one that has caused her to pick up this skill by default. This skill lowers the difficulty of any attempt she makes to repair a mechanical device by one level.

Calling:

Soldier: more than anything else, Courtney hooked up with the Army to put her 'wimpy' past behind her, causing her to push herself farther and farther into the military 'scene', which is decidedly ignorant to the whims of the fashion-conscious. Whether she's coated up to her elbows in motor oil or hip-deep in a hairy fire-fight, she feels that she's accomplished her goal.

Costume:

While on the job, Courtney wears a decidedly non-standard military uniform. It consists of a tan pair of trousers, a long sleeved, beige shirt, and a brown leather jacket. She complements this basic ensemble with a pair of brown, leather boots that have green pads to protect her toes and shins, a brown leather belt, and a brown leather hip holster to hold her .45.

Personality:

Courtney is a very self-assured woman who knows what she wants in life. Though this may have changed a few times over the years, it hasn't changed the zeal with which she pursues it. Having spent time with the Joes (time usually under fire), Courtney has found that she truly prefers the somewhat adventurous life of a Joe, in that it offers her the ability to make a real difference with her efforts.

Story:

Unlike most of the other members of the G.I. Joe team, Courtney didn't hook up with the military right out of high school. In fact, she was a fashion model through most of her formative years, working the circuits in both Chicago and New York City for quite a while, until she became totally disillusioned with that particular industry; by about the time she was twenty, she decided that she needed a change.

This change came in a completely unexpected direction when, as opposed to going to college to acquire a degree or at least a 'legitimate' trade, Courtney decided to enlist in the Army. While going through basic training, Courtney began to pursue an increasing number of what can only be described as unfeminine skills, and her personal motivation ran towards big, greasy machinery.

This helped to land Courtney a spot in the Armor School at Fort Knox, along with various other tech-type training courses, the results of which have transformed her from a fashion model into a grease monkey who can field repair a diesel engine under fire. This skill and determination is what eventually got Courtney noticed by her superiors, who recommended her for a position on the G.I. Joe team.

After a few training missions with various members of the Joe team, old and new, Courtney eventually saw her first battle with Cobra on the very streets of Washington D.C., when the whole of the Cobra Command acted out a plot to poison the supply of U.S. currency. She managed to hold her own for quite a while, in fact, destroying a very large number of Hiss tanks before Cobra Commander ran her Wolverine down.

Once she'd proven herself in this operation, Courtney went on to participate in an uncounted number of missions against Cobra and other terrorist forces, doing so for the duration of the time the Joe team was active. Of course, over the years, Courtney began to serve a more administrative role within the Joe team, helping to coordinate covert operations as assigned to the team by General Hawk.

Exactly what Courtney did when the G.I. Joe team was disbanded in '94 has yet to be documented, but considering her disdain for modeling when she joined the Army, she most likely didn't return to that particular occupation. However, once the team got back together three years later, she naturally hooked back up with the tightly knit group of military adventurers that she fought beside for so long!
