Alright! Pretty much done! Might edit the history a bit more, everything else is done. Name: Alika Fern Age: 24 Gender: Female Nationality: State of Virginia, United States. Branch of Service: Artver Mercenary Services Appearance: [img=http://i.imgur.com/Ggz0fJ2.jpg] Stands at around 5'3 Personality: Generally very open and friendly, Alika is a critical thinker at heart, always keeping a skeptical mind about her situation. She can be sarcastic, blunt, and rude sometimes, whether it's intentional or not. A team player, Alika can work with people well and always tries to help a friend. Though she has very little tolerance for religious zealots and "honor bounded" individuals. Often makes fun of herself in regards to her short height. Personal History: Alika initially wanted to get involved in the war ever since she was young. Her home state, Virginia, was one of the states that received the bulk of bombardment due to the high concentration of strategic targets. Also because of this fact, it was soon a heavily militarized state and a staging ground for deployments to Europe. Her mother worked as a nurse at St. Mary's Hospital in Richmond and often treated many wounded soldiers coming back from the war. When she was ten, her father, who had been fighting in the European Campaign as an Army Ranger, died during a massive offensive by the Soviet Union. They recieved the tragic news when a British SAS soldier arrived at their house. He told them that her father had sacrificed himself to save his squad during the offensive and asked the SAS squad leader to deliver a message to his family. "I'm sorry I couldn't be their for you, Alika, I hope one day you'll understand." Alika's mother was presented a few medals for her father's heroic actions, but they seemed to mean nothing to the family for what they had lost. Alika from that day forward decided she wanted to fight in the war like her father did, as she felt like she owed him for what he had done in the war. Throughout Alika's high school career, she became interested in robotics and joined her school's robotics team. Something about tinkering with machines and getting them to preform tasks never ceased to amaze and appeal to her. Despite her mother's protests, at age 18 she joined the United States Army to fight in the war. Her previous experience with robotics aided her in becoming part of a new, specialized role in the infantry squad, the drone operator. UAVs and UGVs began to see more use at the war entered the 21st century and their was a demand for specialized soldiers who could operate and maintain drones in a combat zone. Alika took on that role and after further training saw her first deployment in Europe when she was twenty. It was truly an eye opening experience for her, and after two long years of combat, she was done with the military. It showed her how naive officers and squad leaders could be and she hated the fact she could not say a word of opposition to orders. Thus she joined the Private Military Company scene as it was flourishing during this time of war. Like the military, there was a high demand for those who had training and experience in the field of robotics and drones. Alika quickly joined up with Artver Mercenary Services, a medium size mercenary group that usually operated with the United States and its allies. Her team was deployed to the Pacific in 2012, but as the war's life soon burned away, her company was suddenly shut down as it was suddenly suspected to be providing intelligence to the enemy. Her team decided to go their separate ways and Alika now finds herself in the Pacific theater with nothing but her gear and some money. All she want's to do now is return home and find her mother. Particular Skills or Talents: Great with robotics and the IT know how that comes along with it. She can usually fashion her own replacement parts given she has the right tools and materials. Weaponry: - Mk18 with a holo sight and foregrip handle as well as a extendable stock. -A USP .45 with a small flashlight attachment -A fixed blade 8-inch knife Personal Equipment: -Drone Operator Kit (A small pack that carries various small replacement parts, wire cutters, electrician's tape, ect.) -Hardcase Atalis Touchscreen Tablet (For operating her drone) -[url=http://i.imgur.com/v8nQNBb.png]K7 Atalis Ind. Support Drone[/url](Colored a darker grey, with some metalic covering. Along with a small 360 viewing camera/gun turret on top): A small backpack size UGV that roles on four very mobile legs. It has one single barrel 9mm machine gun that carries around 150 rounds. The K7 was a drone designed for providing intel and act as a forward observer. They can be semi autonomous, being able to navigate on its own and depending on the parameters set by the operator, able to engage enemies based on IFF tags or by the operator personally marking targets on the controlling device, which displays what the drone can see. The operator can also call out specific targets via voice or radio. It has thermal and night vision camera options. Though for UGVs it is somewhat fragile, not being able to maybe hold up against light firearms like 9mm pistols, nothing like rifle rounds. This particular drone has been with her since she joined the company and she tends to treat it almost like a beloved pet. Some minor modifications by Alika has made it slightly faster than standard models. While it could originally travel long distances by itself, the destruction of various satellites and the amount of interference has greatly reduced its effective range. Thus Alika often uses it as a squadmate of sorts. -two MREs -A half full CAMEL pack (water carrier) -Two green Flares -A small first aid kit. -Tactical Headset (see picture) -MP3 Player Other info: Likes to listen to music in her headset or read one of her three books on her tablet. Once again, to the level of destruction across the globe, her tablet is only useful for drone operations/programming and reading.
