[h3][b]APPEARANCE & PERSONALITY[/b][/h3][hr]
[indent]

[u][b]APPEARANCE          [/b][/u]
[indent]Lucie Bardot stands at an average 5'6'', with an athletic build to match her military training. Her light brown hair, which could almost be mistaken for grey, goes down to her shoulders, and compliments her actual grey eyes quite nicely. Her complexion is fair, white but not overly pale.

Lucie's typical outfit depends on context, but her everyday wear is a mix of her MAVERICK uniform on top of street clothes. She has a grey dress with black leggings, covered with her MAVERICK jacket. There is a box of ammo and grenades at her side, and a headset she wears to both communicate and receive orders. Her boots are styled to look a bit like oversized sneakers, and she wears kneepads over her leggings. To complete her outfit is a black bandana, worn as a scarf normally but pulled up in battle[/indent]

[u][b]PERSONALITY TRAITS          [/b][/u]
[indent]Highly competitive; hates losing
Musically inclined
Desperately wants to be liked and to be a hero

[/indent]

[u][b]BACKSTORY & MOTIVATION          [/b][/u]
[indent]Lucie Bardot was born in Roche, Lower Normandy, a small suburb outside of Caen. Her father, Matthieu, was a veteran of the Gulf War, while her mother, Elodie, was an amateur boxer who was once a nomad with the with the [i]nom de geurre[/i] of Bellonia. With two martial-inclined parents, Lucie and her elder sister Genevieve were both encouraged from a young age to take up martial arts and other physical activities, such as soccer. Lucie, despite being the younger sister, was clearly outclassing her in physical accomplishments, which was fun at first but quickly grew old. Both sisters had a competitive streak that was encouraged by their parents, which only frustrated Genevieve more as Lucie continued to excel in heights that she could never reach. Lucie, on the other hand, started to explore other pursuits other than necessarily fighting, particularly in music making. She started to pick up the bass guitar, learned how to sing, and formed a garage band with her friends, dubbed "Les Loups de Fenrir". All of this was much more fulfilling than constantly training her body like her parents wanted her to do. However, Lucie was simply too insecure, afraid of letting her parents down, and tried to keep it on the downlow rather than confronting them about it. 

Eventually, Genevieve would pursue a career in the French Navy after graduating from lycée, following a similar career path to her father. Her parents were very determined to get their star pupil on the same track. Secretly, all Lucie really wanted to do was to go to university and get a degree in music theory, but she was, again, too afraid to make her true desires known. Her parents saw great potential in her, and pushed to pursue the initial trials to enlist in GIGN, the elite counterterrorist police tasks force in France. On Lucie's end, going into police work was, to her, more agreeable than the military; at least she could say she was protecting France by stopping awful people in their tracks, rather than just being a tool to be shipped out overseas for god knows what reason. When she did her preliminary screening physical, the doctor noticed that Lucie had some sort of rare mutation that caused her body to generate more ki than the average untrained human, which was the source of her heightened physical characteristics. This brought the attention of the United Nations, who saw her as a perfect candidate for their international anti-nomad counterterrorist force, MAVERICK. Some political maneuvering happened behind the scenes, and before fully finishing training for GIGN, Lucie was informed that she was being "loaned" out to MAVERICK as per an an agreement with France. In all practical terms, she was now answering to New York rather than to Paris...[/indent]

[h3][b]FIGHTING STYLE & ABILITIES[/b][/h3][hr]

[indent][u][b]FIGHTING STYLE          [/b][/u]
[indent]The best way to describe Lucie's fighting style is that she doesn't have one. While she was trained in order to deal with Nomadic threats in combat, it never actually involved learning how to fight with ki. Like with many other recruits for MAVERICK with no prior nomad experience, it was simply easier, faster, and more effective to only train physically up to a point where the Frenchwoman can keep up with Nomads in a fight and not get completely overpowered. From there, Lucie would rely on cutting-edge technology to fight any Nomadic terrorists.

The secret resides in special ki-enfused bullets. These are specially designed rounds, which allow for bullets to more readily penetrate the innate defenses nomads have against projectiles, making them more in-line with the intended lethality to a regular person. However, ki-enfused bullets are not perfect; they can never perfectly negate the defenses of ki due to the nature of ki itself. The end result is that it can still take multiple shots to even just incapacitate a higher powered nomad.

Beyond her gun, Lucie is also equipped with an arsenal of grenades, which she keeps with her in a pouch that hangs to her side. These explosives serve various different tactical roles, and can range from mundane fragmentation grenades to highly specialized, experimental ordinance. Finally, when things truly go south, Lucie can deploy Asterix, her combat robot, to provide heavy support fire.[/indent]

[u][b]SPECIAL MOVES & TECHNIQUES          [/b][/u]

[indent][u]■   Le Clarion[/u]
[indent]"The Bugle", the nickname for the Fusil d'Assaut de la Manufacture d'Armes de Saint-Étienne, or FAMAS for short. With a bullpup design and rate of fire of over a thousand rounds a minute, a FAMAS can quickly rain lead on any target while remaining accurate for over three thousand yards. Simply put, this is a weapon designed to kill things quickly. Of course, nomads tend to have a pesky trait of being extremely resistant to bullets, even ki-enfused ones. It can take quite the number of shots to take down a nomad, scaling with how powerful the target. Lucie uses a suppressor with her rifle, partially to not damage her own ears, and partially to maintain stealth in ops.

The firing mode can be broken down into three options:[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Aventure de pointer-et-cliquer[/u]
[indent]"Point and click adventure", or semiautomatic fire, is her slowest but most efficient and accurate form of attack. One pull of the trigger means only one bullet fired.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Ménage à trois[/u]
[indent]Three round burst. A good trade-off between accuracy and volume of fire. Usually her default stance.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   L'Agence tous risques tirent[/u]
[indent]"A-Team Firing", or fully automatic. For when everything needs to die quickly.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Citrons[/u]
[indent]"Lemons", or fragmentation grenades, are Lucie's main form of non-bullet based damage. It's just a simple grenade; pull the pin, and throw it far far away[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Fumigène[/u]
[indent]A basic smoke grenade. Creates a smoke field in which no one can see through. [/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Assourdissante[/u]
[indent]A flashbang. Throw it in an area to temporary disorient people's eyesight and hearing. Including her own if she doesn't throw it right.[/indent][/indent]

[indent][u]■   Bombe incendie[/u]
[indent]A basic incendiary grenade, meant to be used only to obstruct passage to an area and not physically on people. Often time that mandate gets ignored.[/indent][/indent]

[u][b]SUPER MOVES          [/b][/u]

[indent] [u]■   Willie Pete[/u]
[indent]A White Phosphorus grenade. Burns flesh, creates smoke that is lethal to inhale, and may cause survivors to hallucinate. There is a line all MAVERICK cross using this grenade; it's a war crime and the UN doesn't want its agents seen using them. Still, those who are lucky and do what's necessary can find a supplier from Dubai willing to part ways with them. Orders not to use them aren't worth following if it means leaving people to die, but their scarcity means Lucie can often only bring a single one to battle.[/indent][/indent]

[indent] [u]■   Tesla[/u]
[indent]A highly experimental EMP grenade, nicknamed "Tesla(s)" by MAVERICK agents. Lob them in an area and fry electronics in a short area. They are cutting edge technology, so agents like Lucie are usually only afforded one a battle, but they are devastating to any robotic foe.[/indent][/indent]

[indent] [u]■   Asterix[/u]
[indent]The CV-47 "Heinlein" Combat Robot is a remarkable piece of technological innovation employed by MAVERICK. It is a fully autonomous (although not truly sentient) combat drone armed with an M2 Browning HMG, employed when even a FAMAS can't provide enough firepower to complete a job. Astertix is the drone assigned to Lucie, and serves as one of her close companions when on the field, humanizing its quirks as a personality and referring to it as a "he". Astertix usually has a hard time figuring out what is a civilian and what is an enemy, and prefers to shoot first and ask questions later. Therefore, Lucie tends to keep the gun not attached when not expecting to use him, making him essentially useless in combat. Lucie also doesn't just happen to carry a HMG on her person, so she can't easily convert him on the fly either. [/indent][/indent]

[u][b]WEAKNESSES & LIMITS          [/b][/u]
[indent]Take away the gun and the bombs and she is essentially powerless against any nomad-level threat. She has no ki techniques [i]at all[/i], projectile or otherwise. The grenades are all AoE, and can easily hurt herself if she is caught in the blast radius, so she can only use them at a reasonable distance away from her. The FAMAS is a bullet chugger, particularly if left on full-auto, and thus needs to reload often. This can be an opportunity for foes to catch in.[/indent]

[/indent]

[h3][b]OTHER[/b][/h3][hr]
[indent][indent]Lucie is still competently trained in a fist to fist fight, as per to her military training. However, she lacks the raw ki power to fight offensively with her fists against another nomad, and will most likely lose even to the weakest nomad in fistcuffs, if it came down to it[/indent][/indent][/hider]
