Biography

Renee Maria Montoya was born to two second generation immigrant parents in Jersey. In other words, she's American through and through. She grew up in a neighborhood that was a little rough and discovered that she both had the desire to clean it up and astrong fondness for sticking her nose into other people's business.

Growing up, after numerous times of having her butt kicked, Renee decided to join the polce department. She was a very successful beat cop and recommended quickly for detective training, went to college while she was working, and soon ended up solving real crimes for the GCPD. They haunted her and not being able to solve them all haunted her more so she turned to drinking.

Having been reprimanded and lost a promotion due to her drinking Renee fell in with the Question. She helped him solve some of the bigger mysteries of the city and he got her training in unarmed combat and offered support in her dealings with organized crime.

Right now, Renee is still drinking and still on the beat. That might not last long.

Character Details

Personality Renee is a quietly sarcastic, serious woman with a dry sense of humour and a bit of an asocial personality. She'll sometimes ignore what a person is saying because she's seen a clue and she isn't the biggest socializer. She's also devoted to protecting innocents and can't let a mystery go, something which has caused her a lot of distress. Abilities Martial Arts Renee was trained by Richard Dragon in his unique style of Kung Fu and attained a degree of mastery. While not the greatest martial artist on earth she is an extremely capable unarmed combatant. Investigation Renee is a superlative investigator and a fine detective. She's solved many cases with the GCPD, often with very little to go on but a crime scene and a hunch abouit the details. There are few who can match her intuition or intellectual capacity for solving crimes or puzzles. Police Training Renee is an excellent marksman and has had training in interrogation, Forensics, Criminology, etc. She has a college degrees in Criminal Justice and Psychology. Willpower Renee has raw grit. It's difficult to wear her down with despair, force her to change her mind, or beat her down to the point where she breaks. She might not be the toughest person alive but she'll keep going after most others would have given out. Advantages GCPD Renee can count on backup from the GCPD and her partner, in particular, is with her. They also provide equipment - guns, body armor, etc. She is accountable to them as well however. The position requires maintenance including long hours at work. The Question's Mask A pseudoderm mask as worn by the Question is in Renee's posssession. It perfectly obscures the features of the wearer, attaches instantly, and cannot be removed by ordinary means. The Question Renee has moonlighted as the Question but as far as anyone knows Vic Sage is still kicking around. He'll help her in a jam and she's slated to replace him when he goes. Disadvantages & Flaws Alcoholism Renee has a serious problem with alcohol and is often hung over whether she shows it or not. It's nearly cost her her job before and will nearly cost her her job again. Obsession Renee can't let a case go and will put in far more hours than is necessarily wise pursuing leads she's been told to drop. It's led to some of her greatest successes but also absolutely led to some of her greatest failures. Insomnia Renee doesn't sleep well. She's haunted by the people she couldn't save. Sarcasm Renee has trouble keeping her mouth shut. Even when she really should. She's pretty irreverent. Nicotine Renee smokes. A lot. Vic Sage tells her she could get lung cancer.
