by Keira Deyanira Wed Jan 01, 2014 7:46 pm

Name: Keira Mira Deyanira
Name Meaning:
Keira: A name of Celtic origin, meaning "'Little dark haired one"
Mira: A name from various origin but majorly coming to the same conclusion, meaning "Bitter"
Deyanira: A girl's name is of Spanish and Greek origin, meaning "devastating, capable of great destruction".
Age: 41
Gender: Female
Physical appearance: Keira stands at a height of 5'10 and weighs in at a healthy 150lbs, making her about average for a woman her age within those areas. Her medium sized frame is extremely fit and toned, carrying a DD-bust supported by a strong back and powerful legs while keeping a lithe and slender physique to remain extremely spry even in her age. Lacking wrinkles, she's covered in fair skin and at the peak of her physical health and requirement, making her quite the force to be reckoned with. Her body has been sculpted for combat; giving it a noticeable muscular undertone when not covered by her clothing. Her hands have signs of being put to brutal use to anyone with trained eyes, having slender fingers with uniformly trimmed nails; no stranger to the kick of firearms or the feel of combat knives, or being wrapped around someones throat should the need arise.
Her shoulder-length hair is black in color, akin to that of charcoal, and is typically unkempt and free from any restraints; the fringes of which usually fall over the bridge of her nose and to the sides of her face. Her forehead is rather large, mostly hidden by her black locks, but over all her features a soft and well-rounded - subtle yet noticeable - coming into a delicate point at the chin. Her lips always formed into a creepy, lazy smile, adding both a pleasant and uneasy aura to her. The deep green orbs that are her eyes always seem alert; observing her surroundings for even the most miniscule of changes or movement, taking note of every detail. Masqueraded as beautiful and full of life, yet with a cold, deadly and remorseless undertone. She also wears a pair of dog tags around her neck with the Night Nine Emblem on it.
A myriad of tattoos and scars accompany her toned body, having a total of four tattoos and three scars to make note of. Starting with her ink, a black sun is etched into her right forearm with the flames completely wrapping around it; two of which scale her arm up to her shoulder in a spiral manner. Her second tattoo takes up her entire back, starting from her lower waist and up; being one of the Norse Tree, Yggdrasil, who's branches even bend around to her upper and middle torso in some places. The third one is a simple letter and number, written in black cursive under her left eye is "N9", representing a special forces division she was recruited into during its formation, meaning "Night Nine". Accompanying this and paying even more homage to Night Nine, the next tattoo is written in cursive on her left forearm with the Night Nine motto: "Night Time is the Best Time".
Her three scars are located on various parts of her body, one of which is located just above her waist under her stomach: the result of a nasty knife wound she received while dealing with a terrorist in Afghanistan and a painful reminder of just how dangerous her job can be. The second one digs into her right shoulder with a noticeable indention, being a left over crater from a high-caliber bullet wound during an operation in Fallujah. The final noticeable one is on her inner tight, a large crevice carved into her flesh by the remnants of shrapnel barely missing her femoral artery, a result of grenade shrapnel that narrowly avoided taking her life in Lebanon.
Keira's civilian clothing is typically bland and dull in taste, usually being grey or black in color and rarely anything else. She finds that wearing bright or flashy clothing is a cry for attention, and avoids it at all costs unless there is nothing else available to her. Her most common outfit for when off duty is an ordinary grey hoodie with two deep pockets near the bottom as well as a pocket on the inside over both breasts. A plain black and sleeveless T-shirt is worn under it with a pocket over the right breast with a black training bra. Grey cargo pants and a black strap belt make up her dress from the lower part of her body with white socks and black combat boots to cover her feet.
Her on duty set up consists of the standard Night Nine Uniform, which is all black gear suiting her preference for staying and operating in the dark. Starting with her head, she will wear a black kevlar enforced helmet with a pair of top-of-the-line night vision goggles attached - though this is only for when it's a nighttime operation and she will occasionally utilize the goggles without the helmet. Covering the bottom half of her face is a balaclava with a skull pattern on it; used to conceal her identity during Op's as well being a part of personal preference and the Night Nine uniform. A small ear piece also comes with this outfit, allowing her to listen in or communicate with other operatives working along side her, as well as HQ. Over her top she wears a Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform, though her's is black in coloration with the sleeves rolled up to the center of her forearms. There is a special patch on the right shoulder that relates to her time in Night Nine, having what looks like a a decayed cow skull with two protruding horns on it, with the words "Night time is the right time" written on it. On top of this she wears a sleeveless black ballistics vest with a tactical covering.
In order to cut back on weight to make her movements and speed less restricted, the ceramic plates were removed; lowering it's defensive capabilities from withstanding rifle rounds to stopping that of handguns rounds. Below, around her waist, she wears a small rig consisting of various pouches to hold tools for her job, being useful for storing spare magazines and other items. Her hands are partially padded by a pair of black fingerless gloves with reinforced knuckles to add a bit more impact to her punches. She wears black Combat/Cargo Trousers lined with two front slash style pockets, two rear pockets with button closure, two thigh level bellows cargo pockets with elastic closure, reinforced knees and seat and a partially elastic waistband. Her footwear consists of black socks and black combat boots, the soles of which (both on and off duty pairs) have anti-nail plating just underneath the rubber to act as a last line of defense against anything sharp trying to impair her mobility, it can also be used as a defense against bladed weapons if used the right way.
Weaponry of choice:
Her primary firearm is a Carbine M4. A shortened variant of the M16A2 rifle, the M4 has a 14.5 in (370 mm) barrel, allowing its user to better operate in close quarters combat. The M4 has selective fire options including semi-automatic and three-round burst, and is also capable of mounting grenade launchers to it, but she rarely does so. It's a gas-operated and magazine-fed having a fixed LE tactical stock and RIS foregrip installed on it. Like all the variants of the M16, the M4 can be fitted with many accessories. The ones on her rifle include high-grade night vision scope and a KAC sound suppressor. It weighs 6.36 lb (2.88 kg) while empty and 7.5 lb (3.4 kg) while loaded. It fires blessed 5.56×45mm NATO rounds with an effective range of 500m for a point target and 600m for an area target. It carries 30 round magazines with 2 spares.
Her sidearm of choice is a MARK 23 pistol equipped with suppressor. The MK 23 is considered a match grade pistol, it remains reliable in harsh conditions; being waterproof and corrosion-resistant. It's weight varies from 1.2 kg (2.7 lb) while empty, to 1.47 kg (3.2 lb) while loaded to 2.29 kg (5.0 lb) while loaded, with suppressor. The blessed .45 ACP round it fires has noticeable stopping power, and yet is subsonic making it suitable for use with a suppressor, fitting perfectly with her choice of stealth. It has a 12 round box magazine, 1 spare. Its kept on her hip for easy access, the silencer is kept detached unless needed.
A Model 6 Battle Karambit is her go-to weapon for just about any up close conflict, sporting a 3.1/8" inch blessed, carbon steel blade with a slight curve and double edges, it's truly fearsome in the right hands. Sporting a handle that's a mix of oak and steel and weighing only 0.60lbs, it's been fine-crafted to fit her hand perfectly with a slightly in-curved grip to match the blade. However, unlike most Karambits, the ring on the handle is just under the blade allowing her to slide her pinkie into it instead of her ring finger. Whether or not this is strictly for her preference or to add a bit of customization to the deadly weapon, or both, is unknown. Its placed on the back of her waist in its sheath.
Her second knife is seemingly handmade, sporting a two inch black G10 handle making it extremely durable and impervious to moisture or liquid and physically stable under climate change, allowing for the holder to have a better grip on the weapon itself in just about any type of weather or conditioning. It sports an 6 inch, single edged, straight blade made of blessed carbon steel and weighs 0.85 lbs. It comes with a simple black leather sheath and is situated on her chest rig near her right shoulder with the handle facing down toward the ground, allowing for easier drawing when in combat.
Race: Human
Abilities: Originally one the CIA's top agents, Keira retains many of her abilities from her time working with them. A former spy, Keira is highly perceptive and has astounding analytical and memorization ability, able to retain excellent cognitive capability and resilience in stressful situations, despite days of extreme, sleepless fatigue, discomfort and the threat of physical danger. She has received copious amounts of mentalist and linguistics training to interpret human behavior, as well as reading body language to a refined and acute enough degree that she can potentially spot a threat long before they take violent action. CIA training has also left her with a command of languages, being fluent in English, Arabic, Mandarin, Korean, and Russian, as well as sign language. She is also skilled in intelligence collection, counterintelligence, and espionage tactics.
A master of Nighttime Engagement, Keira is an expert at moving quickly, efficiently and in total silence without being detected, and thus she excels at stealth tactics & movement, survival skills, team engagements, guerrilla/anti-guerrilla tactics, combat diving & demolition, and many other tactics to help complete the high-risk missions she was given. Due to her high analytical ability, she's highly skilled at preserving control, executing movement, firing, and maintaining direction in absolute darkness and situations where visibility is extremely impaired or hampered by memorizing the layout of the area around her, allowing her to maneuver properly should her eyes be rendered useless (similar to how a person can find their way around a house they've lived in for years with the lights off). She can also put to use her sense of smell and hearing to locate targets without the aid of her eyes, but this is restricted to peak human limitations and takes a bit of effort to focus on.
A solider to her very core, she possesses collective knowledge of a number of martial arts, ranging from Krav Maga, MCMAP, Apache Knife Fighting and the Tactical Knife Combat System, making her extremely versatile and deadly up close. She was also forced to take marksmanship courses throughout her military career to familiarize herself with a number of firearms, and is an excellent shot fully capable of hitting both immobile and mobile targets with accuracy expected of an elite solider, even while she herself is moving at her full running speed. She's also adequate with throwing knives despite not always carrying them on her person, but she's nothing special with them; able to hit within an inch of her target with concentrated effort.
Due to her extensive physical training and the inhuman standards of Night Nine, she has pushed her body as far as it can go. A focus on speed, evasiveness, reaction time, with the aid of an enhanced spacial awareness and footwork, has made her quite nimble; giving her the ability to avoid potential gunfire if she knows where it's coming from by both aim dodging, constant movement and muscle memory, and knee-jerk reaction. She can even physically react to medium levels of vampirism in close-quarters with visible effort (It should be noted that everything about Keira is peak human with regard to her physical attributes, bar her reaction time and reaction speed, which greatly exceeds even peak human standards (in between level 1 and 2 (Note inside a note inside another note: She cannot fully attain level two, nor can she surpass it, but she is above level one vampires in terms of reaction time putting her at an intermediate level))) Officially on record, her actual running speed can cover three miles in 9 minutes while fully decked out in her gear, beating the Marine's required time of 18 minutes on the PTF run by exactly half, giving her immense stamina reserves.
Keira also possesses vast amounts of knowledge on military tactics and operations, both foreign and domestic, as well being familiar with the use of many of the state-of-the-art weapons and equipment currently being implemented by the United States, giving her a wide variety of weaponry and gear to choose from should her current ones be temporarily indisposed. She is also ambidextrous and has been trained to utilize this in combat situations, making her skilled in the art of putting to use two knives or two handguns, or a combination of the two, at the same time with the same degree of accuracy as using one at a time, allowing her to use two weapons effectively in a conflict.
Her cooking is rather horrid, far from an average cook, forcing her to rely on microwave meals or MRE's, which she keeps an ample supply of in her quarters.
Organization: V.W.A.T.
Personality: Keira is an enigma, she is an expert at deception and masking her thoughts and intention with a mastery of her own emotions and body language, as expected of one of the CIA's former top agents and Night Nine's former leader. Portraying herself as a woman detached from both personal and worldly problems, she largely projects an extremely calm and laid back demeanor devoid of worry; known for being quite mellow, jovial, easy-going, and rather tomboyish at times, being quite friendly at face value, yet she constantly radiates with a silent confidence and air of sheer dominance that can rarely be found in other individuals. Raised in a military household, she carries herself in a fashion expected of growing up in such an environment; neatly, swiftly, and properly.
However, despite the friendly demeanor she constantly showcases to those around her, saying those feelings are actually true would be a false claim. This is because of mental scaring received within Night Nines training program which has made her entirely indifferent to violence and death, as well as moral and emotional dilemmas; some even suggest that she subconsciously dismissed her feelings toward other human beings all together in order to avoid a mental break down, and as a result has made her phlegmatic towards actual social bonding and emotional attachments, typically putting the value of a persons life at that of a bug: both are easily killed and easily forgotten, thus rendering the forming of personal relationships nearly impossible.
Needles to say, this utter abandonment of sympathy and interest towards life in general has allowed her to carry out orders with inhuman results and has made her develop a nihilist outlook on existence, though her philosophical belief of Nihilism only goes as far as believing there is no meaning to life, and thus embracing a mentality that many would consider proper for a true soldier - professional, thorough, and completely devoid of mercy. She prefers to deal with cold hard facts and harsh reality than a comforting lie and delusion, making her a realist to the very core of the word and is rather blunt and straightforward should the situation call for it, to which she will make no apologies for any offense she causes.
She is highly perceptive, intuitive, observant, and discerning, possessing a calm, analytical mind that was refined by her time in the CIA and Night Nine, thus she is very keen-minded; keeping herself on guard at every waking and sleeping moment to react to extremely sudden changes in the situation regardless of the circumstances and mood they are caused in. She is somewhat known for her dark sense of humor as well. Her hobbies are few and far between given what she does, but she does have a select few activities to keep her entertained. One of her more noticeable hobbies is sharpening edged tools, such as her knives, but she also enjoys deconstructing and reconstructing her firearms, and physical sports such as soccer and basketball in her free time.
Rank: N9 Leader
Biography: Born and raised in Houston, Texas, to a militarized family, it seemed like Keira's path in life was already set long before she was ever brought into the world. The daughter of a Marine and Air Force Colonel, she was immersed in the military life since the beginning and was essentially her way of life as she became older. It would be obvious to any outside of observer that her parents wanted their daughter to server their country, and they made no attempt to hide it; the primary driving force behind this desire being her father, though her mother was far more subtle about the idea.
Regardless, the strictness and patterns of a military lifestyle were apparent early in her life and their effects would still be known further down the road, being bound by the chains of military standards even in the comfort of her own home. Constantly influenced about serving the country from a young age, it's no surprise that Keira strived to achieve great heights while in school because of this to achieve her predetermined goal in life. She made time to have a social life, like most girls her age throughout the years, but it was far more restricted than the usual teenager girls. It was apparent that even when she was younger that she was a bright individual, but she strived to go beyond that and dedicated the majority of her free time to study.
This put road blocks in certain aspects of her social life that many others would consider odd, as she tended to shrug off more intimate advances from her classmates in favor of work. This may have damaged her social skill and the development of her own relationships, but it was made up with her graduating with honors and moving on to college as one of the top students in her class, bringing her one step closer towards her predetermined goal. It was around this time that she began to really dig into the ideas her father had set for her, taking significant amounts of time to study her options regarding the military and other paths to serve her country and make her father proud.
Her search eventually led her toward the CIA, as many of the military forces she was interested in at the time only allowed women to enter non-combat units, which was something she wasn't particularly interested given her father was a veteran, and even her mother had been involved in combat a few times in her career, which was something Keira also wanted to experience in order to continue the tradition. However, the standards that would need to be met were quite steep, even for someone of her academic stature, and were extremely demanding and time consuming. Any resemblance of a social life she once had was now brought to a bare minimum as she worked to achieve her current goal, and while this did make her somewhat secluded from what was happening around her, she did manage to graduate with a masters degree and a GPA of 4.0.
She had managed to meet the requirements and was eager to begin her career, which was followed by many necessary elements of background checks and other required inquiries after her application was submitted. Despite how accomplished she had felt and how proud she had made her family, this was a crucial turning point in her life as everything was about to change. The training that involved being a field agent for the CIA was, to say the least, brutal, harsh and exhausting in many aspects, as the world of training she was placed in broke her down and rebuilt her from the ground up as an almost entirely new person. Submerged in extensive training measures, Keira's academic mind was put to good use throughout her time spent there and adapted quickly and fluidly to the knowledge she was presented with.
Needless to say, her mental or physical fitness were no longer in question after the first few months of training and her career took off shortly after, putting the training she received to excellent use to serve her country, as her goal had been since she was a child. Her integration within the CIA would continue for several more years, eventually becoming one of their top field agents at only the age of twenty-nine. It was around this time that the different branches of the military had decided to collaborate with one another in a Top Secret experiment that involved creating a single unit comprised of the most skilled soldiers from each branch. Along with members of the Navy Seals, Delta Force, SOCS-Ss, and several other branches, Keira was the only individual from the CIA selected among the 35 others as a potential candidate for this experimental unit.
The selection was carried out under the ruse of a Joint Training Operation, and all those who were selected were oblivious to what the true intention behind it was. Regardless, the "JTO" was something that surpassed even the most elite of training regiments the individual special forces were put through, specifically designed to push each and every one of them to and beyond their already amazing limits during the selection process. The unit would be comprised of nine members, and the selection program continued for several weeks until all but 9 of the selected individuals dropped out from physical and mental stress; Keria was among those who had survived the initial selection that made the famous "Hell Week" look like child's play, though it was far from an easy accomplishment.
Once completed, the nine individuals were pulled and placed within a secret collaboration unit that would be codenamed "Night Nine", a Top Secret Tier One unit that would fall under the authority of JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command) where they would be placed in the highest classification level; all information about them being strictly need-to-know, kept completely hidden from the public and only available to the highest ranking military and government officials. This secret unit would be sworn to secrecy and immediately begin training to become the absolute best the American military had to offer, rising above even other Tier One units. This training would be considered inhumane by normal standards, as it involved both physical and psychological torture of the 9 individuals to make the immune to both moral and emotional dilemmas on the battlefield, but also emphasize on Nighttime Operations and perfect teamwork.
Keira, despite her intense mental reliability from her time in the CIA, was pushed far beyond what she was prepared for, the harshness of the Night Nine training being beyond any other in the United States Military, including levels of mental and physical stress that were literally inhuman. Live targets were used to perfect their skills in the art of killing, many of them being criminals from Guantanamo or ordinary individuals who were taken off the streets from countries overseas. Despite having her physical abilities maximized by the training program and perfected under extreme circumstances, Keira's mental strength eventually broke and as a self-defense mechanism subconsciously disconnected herself from the world around her; discarding her feelings toward other human life in general.
This was, of course, a double edged sword, as it also applied to even those she would be working along side, though this never truly effected the teamwork they earlier perfected. Essentially, she was the perfect solider that wouldn't hesitate ending a life no matter how emotionally bonded she was to it. Coming out on top of the training within the Unit, she was put in the position of the Squad Leader and would go on to lead the Night Nine squad on several successful Top Secret missions all over the world, prevailing where other Tier One units failed and paving the way for their title as the most efficient unit in the United States Military. It was during these missions that she would encounter several near-death experiences that would leave permanent imprints on her body in the form of scars, which only served as motivation for her to push herself even further. It was around this time that Keira marked her body with several tattoo's of loyalty to the Unit.
The Night Nine Unit was more successful than many of the military leaders thought it would be, but the diverse and extremely skilled individual members proved to be quite a valuable asset. Now holding the place at the very top of the military ladder, the Unit was seen as possibly possessing more than one use for the nation. Executing missions that other Tier One units couldn't and taking on missions that would kill anyone else was an excellent tool, but the Government saw fit to put these tremendous skills to another use. The Government later transferred a few of the members into VWAT to aid in the vampire problem and provide some more manpower. She was among the few who were transferred, opening the position for someone else to take her place as the N9 leader as well as opening a few more positions that would later be filled after another selection program.
She was recently transferred to VWAT with a few members of her old unit in tow.

Due to her high analytical ability, she's highly skilled at preserving control, executing movement, firing, and maintaining direction in absolute darkness and situations where visibility is extremely impaired or hampered by memorizing the layout of the area around her, allowing her to maneuver properly should her eyes be rendered useless (similar to how a person can find their way around a house they've lived in for years with the lights off). She can also put to use her sense of smell and hearing to locate targets without the aid of her eyes, but this is restricted to peak human limitations and takes a bit of effort to focus on.
A solider to her very core, she possesses collective knowledge of a number of martial arts, ranging from Krav Maga, MCMAP, Apache Knife Fighting and the Tactical Knife Combat System, making her extremely versatile and deadly up close. She was also forced to take marksmanship courses throughout her military career to familiarize herself with a number of firearms, and is an excellent shot fully capable of hitting both immobile and mobile targets with accuracy expected of an elite solider, even while she herself is moving at her full running speed. She's also adequate with throwing knives despite not always carrying them on her person, but she's nothing special with them; able to hit within an inch of her target with concentrated effort.
Due to her extensive physical training and the inhuman standards of Night Nine, she has pushed her body as far as it can go. A focus on speed, evasiveness, reaction time, with the aid of an enhanced spacial awareness and footwork, has made her quite nimble; giving her the ability to avoid potential gunfire if she knows where it's coming from by both aim dodging, constant movement and muscle memory, and knee-jerk reaction. She can even physically react to medium levels of vampirism in close-quarters with visible effort (It should be noted that everything about Keira is peak human with regard to her physical attributes, bar her reaction time and reaction speed, which greatly exceeds even peak human standards (in between level 1 and 2 (Note inside a note inside another note: She cannot fully attain level two, nor can she surpass it, but she is above level one vampires in terms of reaction time putting her at an intermediate level))) Officially on record, her actual running speed can cover three miles in 9 minutes while fully decked out in her gear, beating the Marine's required time of 18 minutes on the PTF run by exactly half, giving her immense stamina reserves.
Keira also possesses vast amounts of knowledge on military tactics and operations, both foreign and domestic, as well being familiar with the use of many of the state-of-the-art weapons and equipment currently being implemented by the United States, giving her a wide variety of weaponry and gear to choose from should her current ones be temporarily indisposed. She is also ambidextrous and has been trained to utilize this in combat situations, making her skilled in the art of putting to use two knives or two handguns, or a combination of the two, at the same time with the same degree of accuracy as using one at a time, allowing her to use two weapons effectively in a conflict.
Her cooking is rather horrid, far from an average cook, forcing her to rely on microwave meals or MRE's, which she keeps an ample supply of in her quarters.
Organization: V.W.A.T.
Personality: Keira is an enigma, she is an expert at deception and masking her thoughts and intention with a mastery of her own emotions and body language, as expected of one of the CIA's former top agents and Night Nine's former leader. Portraying herself as a woman detached from both personal and worldly problems, she largely projects an extremely calm and laid back demeanor devoid of worry; known for being quite mellow, jovial, easy-going, and rather tomboyish at times, being quite friendly at face value, yet she constantly radiates with a silent confidence and air of sheer dominance that can rarely be found in other individuals. Raised in a military household, she carries herself in a fashion expected of growing up in such an environment; neatly, swiftly, and properly.
However, despite the friendly demeanor she constantly showcases to those around her, saying those feelings are actually true would be a false claim. This is because of mental scaring received within Night Nines training program which has made her entirely indifferent to violence and death, as well as moral and emotional dilemmas; some even suggest that she subconsciously dismissed her feelings toward other human beings all together in order to avoid a mental break down, and as a result has made her phlegmatic towards actual social bonding and emotional attachments, typically putting the value of a persons life at that of a bug: both are easily killed and easily forgotten, thus rendering the forming of personal relationships nearly impossible.
Needles to say, this utter abandonment of sympathy and interest towards life in general has allowed her to carry out orders with inhuman results and has made her develop a nihilist outlook on existence, though her philosophical belief of Nihilism only goes as far as believing there is no meaning to life, and thus embracing a mentality that many would consider proper for a true soldier - professional, thorough, and completely devoid of mercy. She prefers to deal with cold hard facts and harsh reality than a comforting lie and delusion, making her a realist to the very core of the word and is rather blunt and straightforward should the situation call for it, to which she will make no apologies for any offense she causes.
She is highly perceptive, intuitive, observant, and discerning, possessing a calm, analytical mind that was refined by her time in the CIA and Night Nine, thus she is very keen-minded; keeping herself on guard at every waking and sleeping moment to react to extremely sudden changes in the situation regardless of the circumstances and mood they are caused in. She is somewhat known for her dark sense of humor as well. Her hobbies are few and far between given what she does, but she does have a select few activities to keep her entertained. One of her more noticeable hobbies is sharpening edged tools, such as her knives, but she also enjoys deconstructing and reconstructing her firearms, and physical sports such as soccer and basketball in her free time.
Rank: N9 Leader
Biography: Born and raised in Houston, Texas, to a militarized family, it seemed like Keira's path in life was already set long before she was ever brought into the world. The daughter of a Marine and Air Force Colonel, she was immersed in the military life since the beginning and was essentially her way of life as she became older. It would be obvious to any outside of observer that her parents wanted their daughter to server their country, and they made no attempt to hide it; the primary driving force behind this desire being her father, though her mother was far more subtle about the idea.
Regardless, the strictness and patterns of a military lifestyle were apparent early in her life and their effects would still be known further down the road, being bound by the chains of military standards even in the comfort of her own home. Constantly influenced about serving the country from a young age, it's no surprise that Keira strived to achieve great heights while in school because of this to achieve her predetermined goal in life. She made time to have a social life, like most girls her age throughout the years, but it was far more restricted than the usual teenager girls. It was apparent that even when she was younger that she was a bright individual, but she strived to go beyond that and dedicated the majority of her free time to study.
This put road blocks in certain aspects of her social life that many others would consider odd, as she tended to shrug off more intimate advances from her classmates in favor of work. This may have damaged her social skill and the development of her own relationships, but it was made up with her graduating with honors and moving on to college as one of the top students in her class, bringing her one step closer towards her predetermined goal. It was around this time that she began to really dig into the ideas her father had set for her, taking significant amounts of time to study her options regarding the military and other paths to serve her country and make her father proud.
Her search eventually led her toward the CIA, as many of the military forces she was interested in at the time only allowed women to enter non-combat units, which was something she wasn't particularly interested given her father was a veteran, and even her mother had been involved in combat a few times in her career, which was something Keira also wanted to experience in order to continue the tradition. However, the standards that would need to be met were quite steep, even for someone of her academic stature, and were extremely demanding and time consuming. Any resemblance of a social life she once had was now brought to a bare minimum as she worked to achieve her current goal, and while this did make her somewhat secluded from what was happening around her, she did manage to graduate with a masters degree and a GPA of 4.0.
She had managed to meet the requirements and was eager to begin her career, which was followed by many necessary elements of background checks and other required inquiries after her application was submitted. Despite how accomplished she had felt and how proud she had made her family, this was a crucial turning point in her life as everything was about to change. The training that involved being a field agent for the CIA was, to say the least, brutal, harsh and exhausting in many aspects, as the world of training she was placed in broke her down and rebuilt her from the ground up as an almost entirely new person. Submerged in extensive training measures, Keira's academic mind was put to good use throughout her time spent there and adapted quickly and fluidly to the knowledge she was presented with.
Needless to say, her mental or physical fitness were no longer in question after the first few months of training and her career took off shortly after, putting the training she received to excellent use to serve her country, as her goal had been since she was a child. Her integration within the CIA would continue for several more years, eventually becoming one of their top field agents at only the age of twenty-nine. It was around this time that the different branches of the military had decided to collaborate with one another in a Top Secret experiment that involved creating a single unit comprised of the most skilled soldiers from each branch. Along with members of the Navy Seals, Delta Force, SOCS-Ss, and several other branches, Keira was the only individual from the CIA selected among the 35 others as a potential candidate for this experimental unit.
The selection was carried out under the ruse of a Joint Training Operation, and all those who were selected were oblivious to what the true intention behind it was. Regardless, the "JTO" was something that surpassed even the most elite of training regiments the individual special forces were put through, specifically designed to push each and every one of them to and beyond their already amazing limits during the selection process. The unit would be comprised of nine members, and the selection program continued for several weeks until all but 9 of the selected individuals dropped out from physical and mental stress; Keria was among those who had survived the initial selection that made the famous "Hell Week" look like child's play, though it was far from an easy accomplishment.
Once completed, the nine individuals were pulled and placed within a secret collaboration unit that would be codenamed "Night Nine", a Top Secret Tier One unit that would fall under the authority of JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command) where they would be placed in the highest classification level; all information about them being strictly need-to-know, kept completely hidden from the public and only available to the highest ranking military and government officials. This secret unit would be sworn to secrecy and immediately begin training to become the absolute best the American military had to offer, rising above even other Tier One units. This training would be considered inhumane by normal standards, as it involved both physical and psychological torture of the 9 individuals to make the immune to both moral and emotional dilemmas on the battlefield, but also emphasize on Nighttime Operations and perfect teamwork.
Keira, despite her intense mental reliability from her time in the CIA, was pushed far beyond what she was prepared for, the harshness of the Night Nine training being beyond any other in the United States Military, including levels of mental and physical stress that were literally inhuman. Live targets were used to perfect their skills in the art of killing, many of them being criminals from Guantanamo or ordinary individuals who were taken off the streets from countries overseas. Despite having her physical abilities maximized by the training program and perfected under extreme circumstances, Keira's mental strength eventually broke and as a self-defense mechanism subconsciously disconnected herself from the world around her; discarding her feelings toward other human life in general.
This was, of course, a double edged sword, as it also applied to even those she would be working along side, though this never truly effected the teamwork they earlier perfected. Essentially, she was the perfect solider that wouldn't hesitate ending a life no matter how emotionally bonded she was to it. Coming out on top of the training within the Unit, she was put in the position of the Squad Leader and would go on to lead the Night Nine squad on several successful Top Secret missions all over the world, prevailing where other Tier One units failed and paving the way for their title as the most efficient unit in the United States Military. It was during these missions that she would encounter several near-death experiences that would leave permanent imprints on her body in the form of scars, which only served as motivation for her to push herself even further. It was around this time that Keira marked her body with several tattoo's of loyalty to the Unit.
The Night Nine Unit was more successful than many of the military leaders thought it would be, but the diverse and extremely skilled individual members proved to be quite a valuable asset. Now holding the place at the very top of the military ladder, the Unit was seen as possibly possessing more than one use for the nation. Executing missions that other Tier One units couldn't and taking on missions that would kill anyone else was an excellent tool, but the Government saw fit to put these tremendous skills to another use. The Government later transferred a few of the members into VWAT to aid in the vampire problem and provide some more manpower. She was among the few who were transferred, opening the position for someone else to take her place as the N9 leader as well as opening a few more positions that would later be filled after another selection program.
She was recently transferred to VWAT with a few members of her old unit in tow.

Ain't it cool how all fictional characters have names that should warn their parents to get them some therapy before they head down a path of death and destruction later in life?
Foreshadowing wrote:Age: 41
Gender: Female
Physical appearance: Keira stands at a height of 5'10 and weighs in at a healthy 150lbs, making her about average for a woman her age within those areas. Her medium sized frame is extremely fit and toned, carrying a DD-bust supported by a strong back and powerful legs while keeping a lithe and slender physique to remain extremely spry even in her age. Lacking wrinkles, she's covered in fair skin and at the peak of her physical health and requirement, making her quite the force to be reckoned with. Her body has been sculpted for combat; giving it a noticeable muscular undertone when not covered by her clothing. Her hands have signs of being put to brutal use to anyone with trained eyes, having slender fingers with uniformly trimmed nails; no stranger to the kick of firearms or the feel of combat knives, or being wrapped around someones throat should the need arise.
Her shoulder-length hair is black in color, akin to that of charcoal, and is typically unkempt and free from any restraints; the fringes of which usually fall over the bridge of her nose and to the sides of her face. Her forehead is rather large, mostly hidden by her black locks, but over all her features a soft and well-rounded - subtle yet noticeable - coming into a delicate point at the chin. Her lips always formed into a creepy, lazy smile, adding both a pleasant and uneasy aura to her. The deep green orbs that are her eyes always seem alert; observing her surroundings for even the most miniscule of changes or movement, taking note of every detail. Masqueraded as beautiful and full of life, yet with a cold, deadly and remorseless undertone. She also wears a pair of dog tags around her neck with the Night Nine Emblem on it.
A myriad of tattoos and scars accompany her toned body, having a total of four tattoos and three scars to make note of. Starting with her ink, a black sun is etched into her right forearm with the flames completely wrapping around it; two of which scale her arm up to her shoulder in a spiral manner. Her second tattoo takes up her entire back, starting from her lower waist and up; being one of the Norse Tree, Yggdrasil, who's branches even bend around to her upper and middle torso in some places. The third one is a simple letter and number, written in black cursive under her left eye is "N9", representing a special forces division she was recruited into during its formation, meaning "Night Nine". Accompanying this and paying even more homage to Night Nine, the next tattoo is written in cursive on her left forearm with the Night Nine motto: "Night Time is the Best Time".
Her three scars are located on various parts of her body, one of which is located just above her waist under her stomach: the result of a nasty knife wound she received while dealing with a terrorist in Afghanistan and a painful reminder of just how dangerous her job can be. The second one digs into her right shoulder with a noticeable indention, being a left over crater from a high-caliber bullet wound during an operation in Fallujah. The final noticeable one is on her inner tight, a large crevice carved into her flesh by the remnants of shrapnel barely missing her femoral artery, a result of grenade shrapnel that narrowly avoided taking her life in Lebanon.
Keira's civilian clothing is typically bland and dull in taste, usually being grey or black in color and rarely anything else. She finds that wearing bright or flashy clothing is a cry for attention, and avoids it at all costs unless there is nothing else available to her. Her most common outfit for when off duty is an ordinary grey hoodie with two deep pockets near the bottom as well as a pocket on the inside over both breasts. A plain black and sleeveless T-shirt is worn under it with a pocket over the right breast with a black training bra. Grey cargo pants and a black strap belt make up her dress from the lower part of her body with white socks and black combat boots to cover her feet.
- Spoiler:
Her on duty set up consists of the standard Night Nine Uniform, which is all black gear suiting her preference for staying and operating in the dark. Starting with her head, she will wear a black kevlar enforced helmet with a pair of top-of-the-line night vision goggles attached - though this is only for when it's a nighttime operation and she will occasionally utilize the goggles without the helmet. Covering the bottom half of her face is a balaclava with a skull pattern on it; used to conceal her identity during Op's as well being a part of personal preference and the Night Nine uniform. A small ear piece also comes with this outfit, allowing her to listen in or communicate with other operatives working along side her, as well as HQ. Over her top she wears a Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform, though her's is black in coloration with the sleeves rolled up to the center of her forearms. There is a special patch on the right shoulder that relates to her time in Night Nine, having what looks like a a decayed cow skull with two protruding horns on it, with the words "Night time is the right time" written on it. On top of this she wears a sleeveless black ballistics vest with a tactical covering.
In order to cut back on weight to make her movements and speed less restricted, the ceramic plates were removed; lowering it's defensive capabilities from withstanding rifle rounds to stopping that of handguns rounds. Below, around her waist, she wears a small rig consisting of various pouches to hold tools for her job, being useful for storing spare magazines and other items. Her hands are partially padded by a pair of black fingerless gloves with reinforced knuckles to add a bit more impact to her punches. She wears black Combat/Cargo Trousers lined with two front slash style pockets, two rear pockets with button closure, two thigh level bellows cargo pockets with elastic closure, reinforced knees and seat and a partially elastic waistband. Her footwear consists of black socks and black combat boots, the soles of which (both on and off duty pairs) have anti-nail plating just underneath the rubber to act as a last line of defense against anything sharp trying to impair her mobility, it can also be used as a defense against bladed weapons if used the right way.
- Spoiler:
Fail. Liefeldian outfits have at least five times more pouches than that. You're too covered, too. All the women he draws are nearly naked.
90's wrote:Weaponry of choice:
Her primary firearm is a Carbine M4. A shortened variant of the M16A2 rifle, the M4 has a 14.5 in (370 mm) barrel, allowing its user to better operate in close quarters combat. The M4 has selective fire options including semi-automatic and three-round burst, and is also capable of mounting grenade launchers to it, but she rarely does so. It's a gas-operated and magazine-fed having a fixed LE tactical stock and RIS foregrip installed on it. Like all the variants of the M16, the M4 can be fitted with many accessories. The ones on her rifle include high-grade night vision scope and a KAC sound suppressor. It weighs 6.36 lb (2.88 kg) while empty and 7.5 lb (3.4 kg) while loaded. It fires blessed 5.56×45mm NATO rounds with an effective range of 500m for a point target and 600m for an area target. It carries 30 round magazines with 2 spares.
- Spoiler:
Her sidearm of choice is a MARK 23 pistol equipped with suppressor. The MK 23 is considered a match grade pistol, it remains reliable in harsh conditions; being waterproof and corrosion-resistant. It's weight varies from 1.2 kg (2.7 lb) while empty, to 1.47 kg (3.2 lb) while loaded to 2.29 kg (5.0 lb) while loaded, with suppressor. The blessed .45 ACP round it fires has noticeable stopping power, and yet is subsonic making it suitable for use with a suppressor, fitting perfectly with her choice of stealth. It has a 12 round box magazine, 1 spare. Its kept on her hip for easy access, the silencer is kept detached unless needed.
- Spoiler:
A Model 6 Battle Karambit is her go-to weapon for just about any up close conflict, sporting a 3.1/8" inch blessed, carbon steel blade with a slight curve and double edges, it's truly fearsome in the right hands. Sporting a handle that's a mix of oak and steel and weighing only 0.60lbs, it's been fine-crafted to fit her hand perfectly with a slightly in-curved grip to match the blade. However, unlike most Karambits, the ring on the handle is just under the blade allowing her to slide her pinkie into it instead of her ring finger. Whether or not this is strictly for her preference or to add a bit of customization to the deadly weapon, or both, is unknown. Its placed on the back of her waist in its sheath.
- Spoiler:
Her second knife is seemingly handmade, sporting a two inch black G10 handle making it extremely durable and impervious to moisture or liquid and physically stable under climate change, allowing for the holder to have a better grip on the weapon itself in just about any type of weather or conditioning. It sports an 6 inch, single edged, straight blade made of blessed carbon steel and weighs 0.85 lbs. It comes with a simple black leather sheath and is situated on her chest rig near her right shoulder with the handle facing down toward the ground, allowing for easier drawing when in combat.
- Spoiler:
Did she get that last knife from Shinwa? They make good shit.

Abilities: Originally one the CIA's top agents, Keira retains many of her abilities from her time working with them. A former spy, Keira is highly perceptive and has astounding analytical and memorization ability, able to retain excellent cognitive capability and resilience in stressful situations, despite days of extreme, sleepless fatigue, discomfort and the threat of physical danger. She has received copious amounts of mentalist and linguistics training to interpret human behavior, as well as reading body language to a refined and acute enough degree that she can potentially spot a threat long before they take violent action.

Assuming it to be American Sign Language.
Can't let the reflexes pass. Maybe if you were able to pay for it in some way, but I'd have to discuss it with other people in charge.

It was around this time that the different branches of the military had decided to collaborate with one another in a Top Secret experiment that involved creating a single unit comprised of the most skilled soldiers from each branch. Along with members of the Navy Seals, Delta Force, SOCS-Ss, and several other branches, Keira the only individual from the CIA selected among the 35 others as a potential candidate for this experimental unit.
The selection was carried out under the ruse of a Joint Training Operation, and all those who were selected were oblivious to what the true intention behind it was. Regardless, the "JTO" was something that surpassed even the most elite of training regiments the individual special forces were put through, specifically designed to push each and every one of them to and beyond their already amazing limits during the selection process. The unit would be comprised of nine members, and the selection program continued for several weeks until all but 9 of the selected individuals dropped out from physical and mental stress; Keria was among those who had survived the initial selection that made the famous "Hell Week" look like child's play, though it was far from an easy accomplishment.
Once completed, the nine individuals were pulled and placed within a secret collaboration unit that would be codenamed "Night Nine", a Top Secret Tier One unit that would fall under the authority of JSOC (Joint Special Operations Command) where they would be placed in the highest classification level; all information about them being strictly need-to-know, kept completely hidden from the public and only available to the highest ranking military and government officials. This secret unit would be sworn to secrecy and immediately begin training to become the absolute best the American military had to offer, rising above even other Tier One units. This training would be considered inhumane by normal standards, as it involved both physical and psychological torture of the 9 individuals to make the immune to both moral and emotional dilemmas on the battlefield, but also emphasize on Nighttime Operations and perfect teamwork.
Keira, despite her intense mental reliability from her time in the CIA, was pushed far beyond what she was prepared for, the harshness of the Night Nine training being beyond any other in the United States Military, including levels of mental and physical stress that were literally inhuman. Live targets were used to perfect their skills in the art of killing, many of them being criminals from Guantanamo or ordinary individuals who were taken off the streets from countries overseas. Despite having her physical abilities maximized by the training program and perfected under extreme circumstances, Keira's mental strength eventually broke and as a self-defense mechanism subconsciously disconnected herself from the world around her; discarding her feelings toward other human life in general.
This was, of course, a double edged sword, as it also applied to even those she would be working along side, though this never truly effected the teamwork they earlier perfected. Essentially, she was the perfect solider that wouldn't hesitate ending a life no matter how emotionally bonded she was to it. Coming out on top of the training within the Unit, she was put in the position of the Squad Leader and would go on to lead the Night Nine squad on several successful Top Secret missions all over the world, prevailing where other Tier One units failed and paving the way for their title as the most efficient unit in the United States Military. It was during these missions that she would encounter several near-death experiences that would leave permanent imprints on her body in the form of scars, which only served as motivation for her to push herself even further. It was around this time that Keira marked her body with several tattoo's of loyalty to the Unit.
The Night Nine Unit was more successful than many of the military leaders thought it would be, but the diverse and extremely skilled individual members proved to be quite a valuable asset. Now holding the place at the very top of the military ladder, the Unit was seen as possibly possessing more than one use for the nation. Executing missions that other Tier One units couldn't and taking on missions that would kill anyone else was an excellent tool, but the Government saw fit to put these tremendous skills to another use. The Government later transferred a few of the members into VWAT to aid in the vampire problem and provide some more manpower. She was among the few who were transferred, opening the position for someone else to take her place as the N9 leader as well as opening a few more positions that would later be filled after another selection program.
She was recently transferred to VWAT with a few members of her old unit in tow.
Seems like the only thing is reflexes.

You said you'd pay 3 for the reflexes since you don't know what haggling is, so I'm good here.
