[*][color=coral][b]Piloting:[/b][/color] Sara is one of the sharpest pilots on board the Vitae- and isn't afraid to let anyone know it. She's clocked in countless hours of simulation and firsthand experience, and has qualified with the T-22, T-47, and AG-64 spacecrafts. She's memorized countless maneuvers, and can hum for you the exact tone a Serpent missile makes when it confirms radar lock. 
[*][color=coral][b]Scrappy:[/b][/color] Dexterous yet tough, Sara can handle her way around a fight, in and out of the cockpit.  
[*][color=coral][b]Perceptive:[/b][/color] Keen-eyed and sharp witted, Sara is excellent at noticing small details.

[color=coral][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/color]
[list]
[*][color=coral][b]Impatient:[/b][/color] Twitchy and jumpy, Sara is sometimes too eager to jump into a fight, and hates sitting still for too long.
[*][color=coral][b]Hot-Headed:[/b][/color] Easily goaded and provoked, Sara is very adamant about her ideals and can be rather hard-headed.
[*][color=coral][b]Overconfident:[/b][/color] While definitely talented, Sara sometimes exaggerates her capabilities and can get in over her head.

[color=coral][b]Personal Effects:[/b][/color] A suitcase with her clothes, her father's old bomber jacket, a picture of herself and her brother, and a scale model of the [i]Citadel[/i] on her desk. 

[color=coral][b]Prosthetic and Cybernetic enhancements:[/b][/color] like many Armani, Sara has undergone considerable amounts of replacements and enhancements, some voluntary, others by necessity. Different Armani families have different methods when it comes to enhancements, some like to make their enhancements obvious, and proudly display chromed arms and legs, others like to make their appearances indistinguishable from normal humans, Sara and the Hawkins family falls under the latter category. 
[list] 
[*][color=coral][b]Smart-Vision:[/b][/color] a high grade cybernetic implant implanted directly on the irises, these implants give Sara the perks of a multi-function HUD without needing a helmet. Useful for when in civilian clothes, or even combat situations where the helmet is damaged, Sara can receive accurate and precise readouts about her situation and others. Neural wiring allows her to manipulate the HUD without need of buttons and vocal commands. The implant is fairly common amongst Armani military personnel, and is very unintrusive as far as cybernetic enhancements go. When activated, one can see the lines of data, crosshairs, etc crossing over the irises.  
[*][color=coral][b]Wired Synapses:[/b][/color] a very expensive, high grade cybernetic augmentation Sara installed shortly after graduation from the military academy. Essentially a set of advanced emp-shielded fiber-optic cables running parallel to the body's Central Nervous System, the Wired Synapses boosts a user's reflexes and control functions by several degrees. To the unprepared bystander, a person utilizing Wired Synapses can be unnerving; their movements too smooth, too realistic to be real. Wired Synapses are oftem connected to other interface based augments, such as Sara's Smart-Vision and can be triggered om and off at will. The procedure is quite invasive and as a result, Sara has a long, ridging scar down her spinal column, but typically covered by her clothing.
[*][color=coral][b]Subdermal Bone Lacing - Arms:[/b][/color] The bones in Sara's forarms are equipped with a multi-function lace that links up to both her Smart-Vision and Wired Synapses. The lacing's primary function is to counteract minute muscle spasms and random motions, allowing for extremely precise and fine motor control when needed-such as when lining up a shot with strikecraft control or even mundane tasks like taking pictures. The lacing can also stiffen upon impact protecting the arms from bruising. This particular augment is very common amongst Armani and even earthlings and martians, and the arm variants are a particular favorites of military snipers.

[color=coral][b]Bio:[/b][/color]
Born the youngest of two to a family of engineers on the Citadel, Sara had a tumultuous childhood. Forced to leave her home at a young age, Sara and her family fled to Earth as refugees from the Citadel. She had a tough time adapting to life on Earth, she lacked the innate brilliance of her brother, as well as his tendency to be in the background, Sara's feisty and aggressive personality often found her in fights in the school yards with other kid and bullies, who enjoyed to taunt her Armani heritage at her expense. Despite this, Sara graduated high school with relatively high marks, and followed her brother into The Mars Military Institute.

Military Academies, thankfully, were tuition free- exchanging education for much needed military service, which the decimated human forces were in sore need of, and Sara and her brother Samuel were quickly encouraged by their family to enroll and enlist. As usual, Sara's brother Samuel was quickly placed into the engineering track- a highly regarded position in the academy. Sara on the other hand, found her self on track for a pilot MOS. Finally falling into her own, Sara found that she excelled as a pilot, quickly sending herself to the top of her class. While she still received plenty of disciplinary action on the account of her attitude and hot-headedness, her simulator scores hushed any critics she had- with scores and simulations rivaling some of the most talented pilots of the Three Days War. 

Upon graduating from the academy, her and her brother were introduced to the Genesis Project. While already in the later stages of construction and development, Samuel was signed on to help out with creation of the remaining Arks, while Sara was assigned to its security detail, where she flew patrols in space, fending off pirates from the valuable resource convoys, and scaring off merchant and commercial liners that strayed too close to the build site. Sara also participated in several scouting missions, and one military campaign into rogue space during which she earned her Ace. 

Distinguishing herself from her peers, and having already been working with the Genesis Project, when news of the project went live, Sara was one of the members of the military assigned to a protection detail rather than fighting the Devastators in a last stand. Sara was assigned to the Vitae, while her brother was assigned to another Ark. Reluctantly leaving her comrades in arms behind, Sara boarded the Vitae and prepared to leave the Sol system.

Aboard the Vitae, Sara has been given command of one of the 12 fighter squadrons, the 'Grave Robbers' 7th squadron- often monikered to the 'Grave Squadron'.
