It's not unusual to find her looking a 50s black leather rebel one night , and something metallic and ultra modern the next.<br/><br/>Wild Child<br/>-Though not a regular event, Luci seems to only go so long before she has to put the universe on pause and let her hair down.<br/><br/>DISLIKES:<br/><br/>Klingons<br/>-Astra Industries has a long and bloody history of conflict with the Klingon Empire, and more specifically, Klingon privateers and industrialists--to which the Vidal's of Astra Industries see as largely one and the same.<br/><br/>Liars/Manipulators<br/>-There are few things Luci hates worse. To lie to Lucia Vidal is to push her out of one's life.<br/><br/>STRENGTHS:<br/><br/>Intellect<br/>-By any defition of the word, a genius intellect just scratching at the surface of her capabilities.<br/><br/>Gut Feeling<br/>-Many people shouldn't trust their intuitions nearly as much as they do, the very opposite is true of Luci. The only times she's like to run into trouble is when she fails to follow the instincts that have thus far been so fruitful for her.<br/><br/>WEAKNESSES & LIMITATIONS:<br/><br/>Academic Background<br/>-Luci doesn't always fit in with the military mindset prevelant in Starfleet due to her unusual path to Starfleet.<br/><br/>Gilded Girl<br/>-In a society where wealth and poverty are thought to be things of the past, Luci's family wealth in the deep space mining business puts her at odds with not only most of the people she'll serve with, but at times Federation core values themselves.<br/><br/>Trust Issues<br/>-Luci's capacity to trust and be trusted is a constant question in the young human's ongoing tale.<br/><br/>Overly Analytical<br/>-Ever one to overcomplicate and overthink even things that seem to others as simple and plain to see.<br/><br/>QUIRKS:<br/><br/>Woman of Mystery<br/>-Luci's happy to talk about nearly anything--except herself. She's known to get vague and evasive when questions begin about her personal life.<br/><br/>HOBBIES/INTERESTS:<br/><br/>Gearhead<br/>-Luci likes to tinker, be it with the nearby replicator or a transphasic sub-converter or a simple sprocket.<br/><br/>Chatterbox<br/>-Few people are as comfortable and natural at sparking up conversations with absolute strangers than Lucia.<br/><br/>AMBITIONS:<br/><br/>Luci has no known ambitions within Starfleet aside from the typical cliche answers given during Career Development Boards. However she has more than one ambition outside of the Fleet; from an effective method of recrystalization to exploration of the Gamma Quadrant to the study of dark matter. Her interests vary and the direction Luci seems to take can change on a dime.<br/><br/>MEDICAL PROFILE:<br/><br/>Luci is the model of health, with small anomalies present in the readout of any trans-spectral genetic mapping.<br/><br/>EDUCATION/QUALIFICATIONS:<br/><br/>Lucia received her BS in physics and applied mathematics from Stanford University in Palo Alto before moving on to receive her PhD in Theorhetical Physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Lucia spent a short time as a post doctoral researcher at the Max-Planck Institute for Quantum Optics in Garching, Germany, before being accepted to Starfleet Academy.<br/><br/>SERVICE RECORD:<br/><br/>2291<br/>-Accepted to Starfleet Academy as a Third Year Engineering Cadet.<br/>2292<br/>-Graduates Starfleet Academy, promoted to Ensign, accepted into Starfleet Academy Advanced Tactical Training.<br/>2293<br/>-Graduates Starfleet Academy Advanced Tactical Training, promoted to Lieutenant JG, assigned to USS Phoenix.<br/><br/>Decorations:<br/><br/>First in class, Starfleet Academy Advanced Tactical Training.<br/><br/>Reprimands:<br/><br/>1 Academy Demerit for referring to Academy instructor as a'feeble fuckheaded idiot' after heated discussion on the properties of gravity in subspace.<br/><br/>FAMILY:<br/><br/>Father-Gabriel Vidal (deceased), mother-Anastacia Vidal (deceased)<br/><br/>CHARACTER HISTORY:<br/><br/>Lucia Vidal exists as nothing more than a Federation Identification Number and a name for the first fifteen years of her life. For reasons her father never shared, and reasons few doubt Luci herself will reveal any time soon, the heiress of the Vidal family was kept behind the walls of the family's Brazilian compound until she was accepted at the age of sixteen to Stanford University in Palo Alto.<br/><br/>People that attended Stanford with Lucia have said she was a pleasant but quiet underaged student at the University. Others have called her a 'sweet little hermit' that rarely dared to venture much further than her dormitory hall or the local food court. Her Professors at Stanford tell a slightly different story; a student with an unusual level of intensity and insatiable desire to learn.<br/><br/>Her time at MIT sees a dramatic change; Professors complain of a 'at times disinterested' student, while her fellow students tell stories of an unpredictable, friendly, and charming young woman. It's at Cambridge, Massachusetts, that Lucia becomes involved in the arts and the local live music and club scenes of Boston and New York City.<br/><br/>No one that knew Luci predicted she would leave the private sector for Starfleet. Fewer still pretended to even be able to guess at what her reasoning for the move. Luci's Starfleet Academy entrance psych profile speaks of a girl 'brighter than star light, and more genuine than a broken heart'--but even Starfleet Academy counselors profess failure at surmising the young woman's intentions, though the Academy's background check does find mention of Lucia's application to the Federation Investigative Service years before her entry to the Academy.<br/><br/>Lucia's time at the Academy has gone off much easier than her time at Stanford or MIT. Though at times seeming to hold the belief she knows more than her instructors (a belief not everyone will contest), she is generally seen as a pleasant heart and a warm personality to be around. Lucia's performance in the Kobayashi Maru is noteworthy in her ability to cut to the inevitable conclusions far faster than any other Cadet in her class, as if her mind simply gathered and processed each probability before issuing her first command to her cadet crew.<br/><br/>Despite a prestigious position in her graduation class for the ATT and a recommendation of the Academy Fleet Admiral for a focus change to Command, Lucia Vidal graduates at the rank of Lieutenant JG from Starfleet Academy and it's advanced course to earn a commission in Starfleet as a Engineering officer.<br/><br/>IMPRESSIONS OF OTHER CHARACTERS/RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER CHARACTERS:<br/><br/>Kelly Jean O'Connor:<br/><br/>Luci's first, and likely last, Commanding Officer. The small woman seems a study in will power and grit, and altogether way too intense an experience for this little Brazilian. For the most part O'Connor is no more than the big CO in the sky to Luci, who sincerely doubts she'll have many a direct run in with the CO of the Phoenix. Luci holds a concern that O'Connor doesn't always attempt to 'work smarter not harder' due to some ingrained military bravado.<br/><br/>Maira Snowpaw:<br/><br/>It's important, for Luci, to understand that it isn't Maira that she has ill feelings towards--it's the entirety of the Starfleet Science community.  To Lucia Vidal, most Starfleet Science officers think inside the neat little boxes provided to them by Starfleet. From the theoretical applications of quantum energy, cold plasma, or Ion engines that have proven to be just as efficient and powerful as their M/ARA counterparts; the list of Luci's contentious points with Starfleet Science are long and varied. Of Maira? Luci has no idea. They were at the Academy at the same time for a period, Luci recalls, and while she's pleased one of the cute Cadets made it to the Phoneix...word is Maira's a by the book gym rat. Luci couldn't imagine a bigger opposite to herself than that.
