[u]Support Vanguard[/u]
Valeria has managed to put her own spin on the Vanguard's approach to combat to suit a more supportive role. Forgoing a few higher damaging attacks in favor of biotic and combat abilities that focus on disabling or severely weakening the opposition and giving the rest of the squad opportunities to finish them off. Her most common strategies are to use Smash to knock closely packed groups into the air, or alternatively, Lift Grenades. Finally, she devotes all of her Combat skills into ammo mods, all three of which can be used to get past most defenses. While this is obviously a combat approach suited towards a group effort, Valeria is more than capable of holding her own like a "traditional" Vanguard with barrier boosting powers to keep her shields up and the Vanguard unique ability Biotic Charge to deal significant damage.

[b]Distinguishing Features:[/b]


[b]Psychological Profile:[/b] (Personality) This should include what makes your character tick, your character's strengths or weaknesses, personality flaws and how you would react to other species within the Mass Effect universe, etc.

[b]Preferred Equipment:[/b]

[spoiler=Weapons]
[b]Name:[/b] M-23 Katana
[b]Classification:[/b] Shotgun
[b]Manufacturer:[/b] Ariake Technologies
[b]Description:[/b] Common military shotgun. Deadly at short range, but ineffective at long range. Very effective versus shields and biotic barriers, but weak versus armor. Manufactured by Ariake Technologies, the Katana is a common mercenary weapon, and is also popular on colonies with Varren infestations.
[b]Modifications:[/b] Tungsten-carbide bayonet attached under the barrel.

[b]Name:[/b] M-5 Phalanx
[b]Classification:[/b] Heavy Pistol
[b]Manufacturer:[/b] Systems Alliance
[b]Description:[/b] The M-5 Phalanx is the product of the Alliance's Offensive Handgun Project, a close-in weapon to be used with no loss of stopping power in comparison with a soldier's assault rifle. The Phalanx enjoys a ballistics advantage over most heavy pistols. Civilian variants are often purchased by colonists on planets that have particularly dangerous big-game animals.
[b]Modifications:[/b] Increased magazine capacity.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Armor]
[b]Name:[/b] Recon Hood
[b]Classification:[/b] Helmet
[b]Description:[/b] A hood issued to covert action teams, this model's optic display interfaces with most small arms' auto-targeting software, linking hand and eye for improved accuracy and increased weapon damage. Ballistic-mesh fabric and composite ceramic plating provide necessary armor, and the integral air filter helps in hostile environments.

[b]Name:[/b] Explorer Armor
[b]Classification:[/b] Medium Armor
[b]Manufacturer:[/b] Devlon Industries
[b]Description:[/b] Chrome colored plates cover vital areas of the body while keeping flexibility and freedom of movement relatively unhindered. This armor model can withstand a variety of
environmental extremes such as cold, heat or toxic exposure.
[b]Additions:[/b] Three black stripes running horizontally down to the left of the armor's chest plate. Two spare ammo cases. One on her upper left arm, as well as one on her upper left thigh.[/spoiler]

[spoiler=Equipment]

[b]Name:[/b] Gemini Bio-Amp
[b]Classification:[/b] Biotic Amplifier
[b]Manufacturer:[/b] Armax Arsenal
[b]Description:[/b] The Gemini Amplifier sacrifices any form of power duration buffers in favor of reducing the cool-down time of powers as much as possible. While it offers a minor increase in power, the effect is minimal compared to more high end amplifiers. None-the-less, this amplifier is a powers happy biotic user's best friend.

[b]Name:[/b] Bluewire Tool
[b]Classification:[/b] Omni-Tool
[b]Manufacturer:[/b] Aldrin Labs
[b]Description:[/b] A lower tier omni-tool that is still somewhat reliable. The software is outdated on Val's model, however, and her hacking and tech skills are severely limited because of this. The upside is that the medi-gel healing effects are slightly above average due to most of the power going into it.

[b]Background:[/b]

[center][i]I'd like to say I've seen and done it all, and if I missed something... Well, let's just say I'm probably gonna end up doing whatever that is too. The galaxy is just one big problem, and I don't give a shit what those politicians and bureaucrats tell you, it's the people who know how to fight that get stuff done in this galaxy. Not your politicians in their comfy offices; mercs and outlaws aren't gonna stop their shit just because you pass a bloody law telling them they can't do the only thing they know how to do. <She grins> Bullets can work wonders though. [/i][/center]

[b]RP Sample:[/b]

[b]Future Plans:[/b] If you couldn't tell from a few profile tidbits, it'd like to plan for Val to end up as the [i]Dresden's[/i] Chief Gunnery Officer.
