History: Little is known of Dr. Karla Sofen's past. It is known that she interned under Dr. Henry Faustus, whose influence probably warped her own moral compass. For several years Sofen has consulted for NASA, secretly using the skills she learned from Faustus to perform psychological experiments on astronauts under the pretense of clearing them for flight. (Because Dr. Richards hand-picked his crew months prior to the flight, Sofen never consulted on the "Fantastic Voyage" project which resulted in the formation of the Fantastic Four.) One of these psychological experiments helped her to acquire a stone brought back from the Blue Area of the Moon by the Apollo 13 crew decades ago. (This "stone" was actually a small zero-point energy power cell of Kree manufacture.) Somehow, the stone merged with her, granting her incredible power.
Sofen was introduced to Dr. Phillip Lawson, secretly Kree intelligence agent Captain Mar-Vell, by astronaut Carol Danvers during his orientation tour of the facility. Days later, in her Moonstone identity, Sofen attempted to steal a second stone brought back from the Blue Area of the Moon, only to be confronted by Mar-Vell; it was their first battle which solidified Captain Marvel's reputation as a superhero.
Moonstone has fought Captain Marvel several times while attempting to increase her power, flirting with him constantly. Recently, with Mar-Vell's – and Lawson's – disappearance from Earth, word has begun circulating around Canaveral about a possible alien invasion, spurred by Danvers's abduction and escape from a Kree spy vessel in orbit. Despite her amoral outlook, Sofen considered what actions she would take should an invasion occur, coming to the conclusion that she would help defend Earth (she justified it with the thought that it was unlikely that she would be able to continue her 'experiments' under alien rule).
Age: 37.
Height: 5' 9".
Weight: 135 lbs.
Eyes: Blue.
Hair: Blond.
Uniform: White bodysuit with a yellow oval on the chest which extends to a yellow oval gem over her navel, yellow gloves, yellow boots, white half-mask.
Strength Level: Moonstone possesses superhuman strength enabling her to lift (press) roughly 10 tons.
Known Superhuman Powers: In addition to her superhuman strength, Moonstone possesses superhuman durability and stamina, along with a personal force field enabling her to withstand most conventional weaponry, up to .50 caliber machine guns.
In addition to her enhanced physique, Moonstone is able to fly at supersonic speeds. Her force field enables her to survive the rigors of space; the force field also allows her to breathe normally in space or under water for short periods of time.
Moonstone is also able to project energy from her hands or eyes at will for a variety of effects, most commonly as lasers, microwave "heat rays", and concussive force beams. By creating a strobe effect in front of her, Moonstone is able to blind her opponents or induce a suggestible state similar to hypnosis.
By manipulating her body and any material she is in contact with, Moonstone is able to phase through walls, floors, and ceilings for as long as she is able to concentrate.

Role-Playing Notes:
Moonstone is patient, manipulative, and sociopathic, as amoral as anyone can be. Her flirting with Captain Marvel – and any other adversary she may go up against, male or female – is a purely psychological tactic meant to keep her opponent off-balance.
