Adrea's father met her mother while working as a military attache at an Embassy, hitting it off at a holiday party. The rest, as they say, is history. Her father left the service to support her mother, who became a diplomat. As a child, It was not uncommon for Adrea to have the best of everything. A stay-at-home father meant that she was raised with the appropriate amount of discipline and with an education that covered each country her family visited. Introduced to Academia early and raised in the circles of diplomats, dignitaries and their children, Adrea had more interaction with culture, history and education than she did with others her own age growing up.
.
Raised in a world of debutantes, diplomats and their own off-spring, Adrea eventually followed in her father's footsteps rather than her mothers. Taking up studies in the old-world of Europe, Adrea excelled in her first two years of school before returning to the states and processing an Officer's Oath-of-Enlistment. She studied for her Bachelors at West Point and further pursued her Masters - studying abroad once more as part of an exchange program. Finally taking up her commission, she served as an Officer in the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
.
Her service in the military was at first filled with labs, more study and education and sterile environments. At Adrea's own insistence, she worked her way into the Acquisitions department where she started studying, approving and delicately sneaking in improvements to the Army's 'upcoming' technology in order to ensure only the best made it to their soldiers. After a few passing brushes with 'Stark Industries', she was hand-picked by parties unknown to oversee a 'rapid-fielding initiative' that would see Stark technology moved into the hands of soldiers already in the field. In this manner she got to see many of the people she helped up close and personal, and meet people and cultures in a much more down to earth way than before in her mother's shadow. It was nevertheless a jarring experience, as learning to work closer with people who were not scientists and engineers colored Adrea's experience and outlook forever.
.
While she continued to work on her own education, it wasn't long before Adrea needed to make something for herself, to represent her own experience. She continued to pursue doctorates in Physics and Robotics while working for the Army, she got out after less than 10 years in order to pursue her academic pursuits and her own Research. While she did manage to get the grants and professional positions necessary to pursue her research, she became troubled with the lack of the can-do and completion oriented attitude she'd grown used to in the military. She finished her doctorate in Physics, but stopped short of finishing her work in Robotics.
.
More troubling than the nature of the world of Academia that seemed to pursue technology either at breakneck and even reckless pace in the name of profit, or projects that never really seemed to be finished - was the results of her finished projects. Adrea had developed and patented a set of technologies that allowed her control over kinetic force fields, that once completed, was parted out to a number of separate projects and applications in Industry and the corporate world for which she had never intended for them. Angered, Adrea did manage to secure a patent for the completed and full project through coordination with STARK Industries and SHIELD in order to secure a fully functioning prototype force field for SHIELD - for practical applications in prisons.
.
On the cusp of her doctorate in Physics, Instead of using her Thesis to graduate - a semi-autonomous robot that also featured her force field technology - Adrea used it to serve her resume to SHIELD and has been using her talents for them since.
Kinetic Forcefields: Adrea has created a technology that she bears on a harness on her back *often concealed*. Using her harness, she can generate isolated forcefields of kinetic force. She can control the size of her forcefields and also generate a forcefield around another person or object. She can use the forcefields to move an object as small as a person or allow herself to fly. The larger the forcefield or the more forcefields she generates concurrently, the weaker they are. The forcefields can block physical as well as energy attacks, and prevent attacks that use physical force or energy as a means of damaging from reaching her. When Pressed, Adrea can also release the energy in a forcefield to create a Kinetic blast - damaging objects or persons in the path of the blast.

Armalite: An individual robot, and also standing in as physical proof of Adrea's Doctoral Thesis in Robotics, Armalite is the prototype of Adrea's A-LEXIS (Armored Law Enforcement Experimental Intelligence and Security applications robot, or just Lexus) program. Nicknamed after an Arms Corporation responsible for the famous M-16 and AR-15 rifles, Armalite is a large bi-pedal armored robot with an armored carapace capable of withstanding high-caliber small arms, physical and energy weapons. Adrea's kinetic force-field technology is included in the robot and Armalite possess enough output to shield 1 or 2 others as well as himself simultaneously without losing too much effectiveness. Armalite also has a 'gun' concealed beneath each of his large fists in order to perform directed kinetic energy attacks for more effectiveness. Developed for security and military applications, Armalite has nevertheless developed a personality that makes him improbably loyal to Adrea herself and has any number of quirks - including fancying himself a fine DJ.
ENGINEER: Adrea is a Dual Doctorate in Physics and Robotics. A leading name in robotics, she has been published in several academic journals and is well thought of as one of the greatest contributors to the fields in recent memory, at least where the military is concerned. She possesses an intimate understanding of force fields and the electronics and programming necessary to make a large robotic entity work and has studied them at length.
.
COMBATIVES: Adrea has trained with the military and spent several years in the United States Army. As a result, she has a cursory knowledge of a number of defense techniques and is well practiced in grappling and counter techniques focusing on pressing advantage and disarming an opponent.
.
COMBAT TRAINING: Adrea has trained with Small Arms, and is experience with a variety of weapons up to an including crew-served weapons (like a machine gun) and individual missile launcher systems (Like a STINGER or JAVELIN) because of her time with the military. She also has an regular physical training regimen that keeps her in shape and grants her an endurance above the human norm.
ACADEMIA & INDUSTRY: A well known name in Academia, Adrea has won many of her accolades working among her peers in Academia and History. She has several thesis and papers published throughout academic journals and professional publications. It isn't very hard for Adrea to reach out to her peers when she can't find the problem to a solution herself. In particular, her contacts within the Defense Industry and in Computing and Networking have proven helpful to her in the past, and some may even owe her a favor or two.
.
FORCE HARNESS: This is the device that gives Adrea her 'superpower.' She constructed it herself and has patented the rights to the complete system that allows her to create her force fields. SEE 'POWERS'
.
ROBOTS: Robots and data assistants are not an uncommon sight around Adrea. Though her most famous was her resume for SHIELD and also serves as her sidekick, she has a number of automated assistants for a number of menial tasks, and is likely to develop more.
.
SHIELD: Adrea is a signed on, card carrying member of SHIELD. Though she can work alone because of the asisstance of ARMALITE, she's also fairly likely to go into the field alongside other SHIELD agents. Adrea is accustomed to having a network of contacts and friends, and the longer she works with SHIELD, the more people she will know within the organization who have a mutual interest in SHIELD's mission and might assist Adrea.
PRAGMATIST: The question of good and evil is is handled by practicality in Adrea's mind. Questions of greed, charity or vengeance are answered in Adrea's lexicon in the matter that 'good' is what really makes the world go round. In Adrea's mind, the Fords, the Rockefellers, Madame Curry, Von Braun - these were people who moved the world forward not out of conquest or blind ambition, but out of a desire to grow things, build things and make them better. Laws, order, these are the things that give the world shape and form. With respect to villains, terrorists and the nature of 'bad things', Adrea considers them a disruption to a more natural and meaningful order. While it is in her nature to 'take down' her foes rather than kill them, and her powers actually lend themselves to that nature - she firmly believes that the 'right' amount of force is the necessary amount of force.
.
BUILDER & PROTECTOR: Adrea is a motivated by the pursuit of science for the sake of science. There is a natural order to all things in nature and with enough study, enough process, and enough effort - anything can be understood by the right person in the right time with the right tools. From this mindset comes Adrea's focus and her effort. She uses her mind, her powers and technology to build, to make better, and to protect others. She feels the drive to use her gifts in order to help others and improve the world around her. Those who would use the same to exploit or subjugate others are the worst kind.
.
FRIEND: Adrea is most at home in the lab or in the field. She gets along best with people in related professions, the military, and law enforcement. It should serve as no surprise she spends most of her time with these sorts of people. While she gets along fine with others, she has a distaste for the media and often keeps to herself. However, when someone gets to know Adrea, she opens up and is a loyal and protective friend.
COMPULSIVE PROBLEM SOLVER: If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well. Adrea can't help but want to fix things. When presented with a problem or a process that doesn't quite work, isn't all the way there, or is just broken - she can't help but ponder over ways to fix it, make it better or engineer a solution.
.
IMPATIENT: Adrea is at home in the lab or in the field. Being unable to do anything or having to wait often makes Adrea tense. She can be distracted by problems or issues she sees when in this state. It would be fair to say it's just difficult for her to sit and watch things happen. She is particularly frustrated when she or her friends are faced with a problem that she doesn't have the right ability set to help with, which won't stop her for looking for solutions.
.
FIERCELY LOYAL: Friends are family to Adrea. Adrea sees those who have managed to work past her shell and get close to her as her family. When people seek to harm her friends, or hurt people who she views as 'innocents' or bysanders, she can't help but want to be involved in the action. While disciplined and loyal to her chain of command, circumstances like these put her at edge and she will always be determined to do 'something.'
