CHARACTER INFO
Name: Lieutenant Laura Adler
Age: 30 years
Gender: Female
Species: Human
Faction: NEST/Autobots
Original Occupation: U.S. Army Special Operations
Occupation/Specialization: NEST Special Ops on special task force with the Autobots
Laura is what she calls casually attractive. Never obsessed with her looks she likes to keep her appearance very down to earth and casual, avoiding cosmetics (except for a bit of eye liner sometimes) and clunky accessories; the only jewelry she wears are small pendants that are collarbone length.
The child of two very tall parents Laura stands at 5'9". Being physically fit she has a muscular frame, her weight being around 160 pounds. She has hazel coloured eyes and dark golden brown hair that when not tied up in a pony tail reaches down to just past the centre of her back.
Laura is a fan of earthy kind of colors, her clothing usually being brown or dark green in color with a mix of black clothing. She likes to wear durable cargo pants with plenty of pockets and light t shirts. For shoes she either wears her combat boots, a pair of running shoes or hiking shoes. To top off the look she wears a casual brown leather jacket. You'll never catch her in a dress or skirt. Ever.
When on combat duty she sticks with the cargo pants still and just adds a bullet resistant vest and military issued jacket in the appropriate color for the mission (black, camo green, etc).
Laura has three tattoos; her first one is a pair of wolf tracks on the inside of her right wrist done in a light black shading style making them look almost life like. The second is the actual paw print of the dog she had as a teenager placed on the top of her left foot. The most recent one is a trio of silhouetted black inked pine trees on the back of her right calf.
As a soldier she has her own share of scars but only a couple are actually noticeable. Over the course of her military career she has been struck by bullets three times; two of those were just caught in her vest, and the third had torn through her left bicep leaving a long thick scar. Two years ago Laura had defended herself from an attacker wielding a knife and earned herself a three inch scar on the outside of her right forearm.
May 25/21- After a recent encounter with the Decepticon Cintra, Laura now bares a five inch scar on her left shoulder after being grazed by Cintra's bladed tendril. The scar starts near her collar bone and travels across her shoulder to the top of her bicep. It’s a thick scar due to the size of the blade but she was incredibly lucky it had only gone deep enough to tear through the muscle layer and didn’t rip through the bones in her shoulder.

History: Laura is the offspring of David and Jessica Adler. Both originally from Alaska they married shortly after college and moved down to North Dakota. David was a prosecution lawyer and Jessica, wanting to help others and protect her country, joined the Army infantry division. As much as the ‘soccer moms’ judged her for being in the military while raising a child she continued that passion with the support of her family. Her husband David was always worried about her but also greatly admired her and knew there was no stopping her. He just always made her promise to keep coming back.
Life for the Adler family was normal besides the tour rotations Jessica did. They always took time off when she was back in the states to do family vacations and spend as much time together. Laura was pretty good about the entire situation; always proud of her mom and was very close to her father since he was mostly raising her on his own. The military was always good about keeping families in touch as much as possible and Laura was often skyping with her mom.
At fourteen years old is when things changed. Her mother was over seas on a rotation when her squad was ambushed. While they came out of the attack victorious Jessica and three others were unfortunately killed in action.
While Laura knew this could had happened at any point in time she still took her mothers death very hard. She was so depressed it was nearly impossible to get her to leave the house. Laura blamed the military, assuming they didn’t properly prepare her mother's squad for whatever mission they were on.
A few months after her mother's death the news did a full segment on the incident. It featured a few families in the village that had been targeted by rebels and saved by Jessica's squad. They were thankful for the soldiers who were there and very saddened by the deaths that happened. This helped Laura realize her mother died doing exactly what she was meant to do in life; protecting the innocent. It was difficult but she eventually was able to move on.
Life continued on as normal again for David and Laura. At eighteen years old it was time to look at the future. She had a good chance to get into almost any college but she kept thinking of her mother and decided she wanted to follow in her foot steps and joined the military.
Besides the few hiccups where she butted heads with her superiors her career in the military went very well. She dedicated a lot of her free time to training and excelled quickly. She did several tours over seas with varying degrees of combat and by the time she was twenty six she was brought into the Special Forces. Her team specialized with behind enemy lines rescues, raids, eliminations, etc. Recently her team was brought to Black Rock to assist the Autobots in the fight against the Decepticons and now MECH.
Most of Laura's missions were covert ones, not usually involving a team up with the Autobots. The first time she had participated in a joint mission was the assault on the MECH base with Optimus Prime, Fortress and Mirage. She observed them in combat however did not directly interact with any of them.
With the MECH threat getting worse Laura was selected to join the Autobots to give them more direct help, assisting with any stealth or covert operations or just in general back up.
Personality: Laura's father has always said a lot of his wife was in her. She's fiercely loyal, very independent and strong willed. She commits 100% to things and focuses on the task at hand.
Laura is a pretty social person. She likes meeting new people but her goal isn’t to make tons of friends; she prefers to stick closely with the people she cares a lot about. She’s a happy, enthusiastic person and enjoys having fun with her friends. She greets everyone with respect and kindness and is always there when someone just needs someone to talk to. She tends to bond quickly with individuals similar to her.
Her best quality is her ability to remain calm and level headed in extreme situations. She refers to it as her ‘soldier brain’ taking over; if she's doing something like snow boarding or in the middle of a battle field she focuses specifically on what’s in front of her and on the objective.
On the other side of things Laura does tend to have issues with people of authority. Strange for a soldier, but she just never liked having drill sergeants yelling in her face or treating her like crap because 'army' life. She's had superiors who she felt made poor choices and sometimes found herself questioning them before really thinking about how to respond. Her combat record is probably what kept her from getting kicked out half the time.
Sometimes she can take things too personally. She can hold a grudge for a long time, especially if it looks like the issue can’t be resolved civilly.
Likes: Weapons. Laura isn't one of those gun trotting people who needs to own a massive collection for either conversation pieces, or to be ready for the zombie apocalypse; rather she has a strong skill in their use and enjoys honing and practicing that skill. She owns a couple (detailed below) and has a few extras at hand when on the job. She often spends some time at the military shooting ranges keeping her skills up.
Animals. Since Laura was a kid she has always had a place in her heart for the four legged creatures of the world. She had a German shepherd when she went into high school who passed shortly before she enlisted, and with military life she’s not able to have another dog. But while over seas on combat duty she always took leftovers outside for the stray dogs and cats.
Metal music, in particular power metal and symphonic metal. Her favorite bands are actually from countries over seas; Battle Beast, Within Temptation, Epica to name a few.
A nice cold beer after a long day.
Outdoor sports. From snowboarding and rock climbing to riding around on a dirt bike; she enjoys doing pretty much anything that gets the adrenaline pumping.
Dislikes: Hospitals. Since she was a little kid Laura has always had anxiety around hospitals and doctors. She had to get minor surgery as a child and the whole process just terrified her. As an adult she's managed to cope with it better but still avoids going to the hospital as best she can, and tries to get out of medical quickly after an injury on the job. There are several army doctors and nurses who groan whenever she's in need of medical attention.
Getting left out of the fight. Laura is always ready to go on mission to help her team, and just maybe help the world be a better place. She gets extremely frustrated if she gets left behind for any reason.
Politics. Nuff said.
Negative, aggressive people. Usually if someone is getting in her face she’ll square up and stand her ground. She could get real aggressive when someone pushes her. Got her in trouble sometimes with her superiors.
Centipedes freak her out.
Strengths/Weapons: As a Special Ops soldier Laura personally owns and has access to a variety of gear and weapons.
Knives. On every pre planned mission requiring full gear Laura always has two knives on her. One is a three inch black karambit sheathed on her vest or on the back of her belt. This knife is more of a back up weapon. The second is a six inch black MK3 Navy knife either attached to her vest or hip. This blade hhs a sharp edge with the back edge serrated for other uses. The blades are very helpful for close combat, able to cut flesh easily, or for other basic survival needs (cutting meat, serrated edge for wood, rope, etc). Not all that helpful against Cybertronians.
Laura personally owns a M9 Beretta handgun that she takes on mission with her. She chooses to use a thigh holster over a hip holster except in situations where she needs to be covert and in civilian clothes. Perfect to use against humans, could do damage to the eyes of a Cybertronian.
Another weapon she owns is the M4 Carbine which is the perfect assault rifle for close quarters combat. Light weight with high capacity magazines. Again good for use against humans and could damage the eyes and joints of cybertronians.
Of course now she is working with the Autobots Laura is hoping to get her hands on some more advanced weaponry.
Weaknesses: Being human. Obviously as a human her body is mostly fragile, and while she takes strides to protect herself she can still be seriously injured or even killed. And couch bound should she catch a really bad cold.
Her training and knowledge only covers so much. While Laura is fairly skilled in armed/unarmed combat and battle techniques she is in no way technically savvy and while willing to learn she has only basic training when it comes to computer programming. She also has no training on aircrafts or heavy ground vehicles (tanks).
Special Skills: Laura is physically fit and works to keep it that way. She works out as often as she can or at the very least goes for a run every day. She is able to lift a fair amount of weight and has good stamina.
As a special ops soldier Laura is trained in armed/unarmed combat styles and take down manoeuvres. This isn't to say however that she’d always come out the victor. Sometimes there is only so much you can do when someone brings a gun to a fist fight or when someone gets the upper hand.
Laura is a trained marksman with hand guns and assault rifles, graduating top of her class. She has basic training and some experience with sniper rifles however she typically leaves that to the pros, preferring close combat over distance.
As a NEST soldier she does have basic training on human-Cybertronian combat. At this time it is more focused on what to shoot, where to shoot and what weapons do the most damage. She's looking to learn and practise more as she doesn't fully trust in this Autobots/Decepticon truce.
