Racine displays a natural ability to compute and control variables in combat. She has the ability to synthesize information nearly instantaneously, formulate a plan and execute it with a maximum of speed and ruthlessness. [b]- I’d Like to Thank the Academy:[/b] Racine trained in the Imperial Academy in an environment which was extremely unfavorable. Her gender meant that she had to work twice as hard as her male cohorts to avoid being dismissed by her instructors. As a result she has an excellent grasp of all aspects of military theory. [b]- Ice Queen:[/b] Racine can politely be described as cool. Icy bitch is the more common epithet. She tolerates no shortcomings in her subordinates and is tackless and blunt in informing them of such. It also serves her well in combat where she is able to keep her fears and worries locked away behind a cool calculating mask. [b]- Leader:[/b] People tend to follow Racine in combat, partially in response to her confidence and partially as a function of survival. [b]Equipment:[/b] - Blastech A280 Blaster Rifle. - Tactical Helmet – Racine favors a modified helmet with a face shield that allows the projection of maps and other tactical data. It also has integrated comms. Many soldiers avoid these due to the information glut that can result. - Body Armor- Expensive and tailored Racine is rarely seen out of her armor. It is festooned with webbing, pouches and attachment points to which all manner of gear can be fastened. - DL-44 Blaster Pistol. - Military vibro-knife. -Grenades. -Standard Alliance infantry field kit. [b]Psychological Profile:[/b] Adriana Racine is an intense woman, she possess an icy calm which sometimes makes people uncomfortable. She has seen action in her career with the Imperial Army and with the Alliance forces. Hailing as she does from the Courscant Adriana has an extra measure of reserve with her troops and does not make friends easily. Her tendency to view her troops more as game pieces than people doesn't aid her in this regard. She does possess a cynical gallows humor which seems appropriate to the unit to which she is now assigned. Adriana does not seem to hate the Imperials and treats all opponents with a sort of detached ruthless pragmatism. To her Imperials aren’t people to hate, merely problems to be solved. She shows concern for her own troops although this appears to be more out of a desire for maximum efficiency than genuine fellow feeling for her fellow beings. She is nicknamed ‘Doll’ due to her relatively small stature and the neat perfection of her features. Newer recruits can be forgiven for thinking this a comment on her remoteness. [b]History: [/b] Adriana Racine was born into a well to do family on Courscant. The only child of a retired Fleet officer and an Alderanian diplomatic aide she received the finest possible education and wanted for very little. Although her academic record was very respectable it was her ability on the sporting field that would ultimately shape Adriana’s career. She was a state champion in repulsor hockey (an agility game played in zero G using repulsor pads) and locally ranked in dozens of other team sports, establishing a reputation as a leader and a planner. This talent bought her to the attention of Imperial recruiters who offered her a position in the Imperial Academy in a program for prospective covert agents and commandos. Cadet Racine flourished at the Academy, devouring its curriculum and life style. The Imperial bias against women drove her to be the best she could, responding to her instructors sneers by redoubling her efforts again and again. Despite graduating at the top of her class, and a record which should have ensured posting to an elite unit, the newly minted Lt. Racine received a series of demeaning postings to backwater worlds and exposed garrisons. Ironically this gave her more of an opportunity to see action then many of her classmates, as police actions against pirates and smugglers were much more common than engagements with the nascent Rebellion. During this frustrating time she also drew closer to her mother and her social circle and began to develop the Rebel sympathies common to the Alderanian elite at that time. Frustrated with her career progress and no longer certain her service to the Empire was the honorable duty she had imagined it to be she defected to the Rebels. After her debriefing by Alliance Intelligence she was assigned to the infantry. Trained officers were a rarity and she saw hard service in several minor skirmishes. She won a reputation as a competent and driven leader, willing to do what it took to get the job done. At the conclusion of her last tour attrition had worn down Racine’s unit to the point that it was no longer viable in the field. Having had experience with boarding action with the Imperials she was transferred to the 2nd Ulsam ahead of the current operation. The transfer also served a political purpose in that it demonstrated to the new recruits that they had just as much chance of rising through the ranks as those native to Ulsam. Adriana is seen of something of an outsider and, perversely, as somewhat untried. In a unit as tough as the 2nd even a glowing combat record is viewed with some skepticism, at least before it is demonstrated first hand…. Yes, and: Adriana is somewhat ambivalent towards Voy. She respects the younger woman’s patient persistence as an extremely effective tool but she is concerned about her abilities to sense things through the force. Adriana is uncomfortable with the idea that people may be able to see into her mind and the idea of such invasion of privacy disturbs her.
