Her arms and legs, while defined, are thin and lanky, but her hips curve and stand out to give her a decent shape in clothing. Piercings and tattoos, products of a time long since passed, adorn her body in various places though the tattoos all reside on patches of skin that can be hidden under uniform and even in short sleeve shirts. Short hair with highlights of violet round out the claim of individuality and Varrina seldom wears real jewelry.[/indent] [sub][sub][h3][i]Rank[/i][/h3][/sub][/sub] [indent]Master Sergeant[/indent] [sub][sub][h3][i]History / Background[/i][/h3][/sub][/sub] [indent]Varrina Mercury and her family eked out a meager life on a small moon colony in the Orion Arm. Having been born into poverty, Varrina had only ever been subjected to the struggle her parents went through in order to provide for her and her young sister. Despite the visage she was shown however, the elder daughter had come across the truth at some point in her childhood. Her mother prostituted herself in secret as a means to make extra money in addition to the manual labor job she had and her father had a gambling problem that only added to the family's financial woes. Varrina herself joined a gang at a relatively young age and went on to become their leader when she grew into her teens. During this criminal period in her life, Varrina found she had an uncanny knack for ranged weapons. Her aim was incredibly accurate and as she grew older and into adulthood, important people began to take notice of the woman's fine motor skills. Eager to rid herself of a past she considers shameful, the thrill-seeking young woman joined the military and eventually progressed her way to unit 7-5.[/indent] [sub][sub][h3][i]Personality[/i][/h3][/sub][/sub] [indent]Intelligent Calculating Honest Confident Determined[/indent] [sub][sub][h3][i]Specialties[/i][/h3][/sub][/sub] [indent][i]Master Marksmen[/i][/indent][indent][indent]Though Varrina is proficient enough in hand-to-hand combat, her innate ability with ranged weaponry surpasses what many consider to be top-tier levels. She has mastered multiple gun-based and projectile weapons and has superior aim with just about anything one can fire. Put a ranged weapon into her hands and you can count on "Wraith" to hit her mark.[/indent][/indent] [indent][i]Long-Range Specialist[/i][/indent][indent][indent]Varrina's true passion lies in fighting at long range. She gained her nickname due to the fact that by the time an enemy noticed her, a bullet was already whizzing their way to end their life. She serves as the sniper of the team and prefers taking enemies out in the most efficient manner possible--meaning in as few shots as humanly possible. For her, this is the most efficient form of combat in the grand scheme of things.[/indent][/indent]
