SCAR-L [T-Doll]

Character Background

A legendary Doll who served during WWIII, and a leader held in high esteem. Returned to active duty in the field with her outstanding capabilities after being restarted by Griffin, she rarely speaks of her past glories of days gone by.

Weapon Background

The FN SCAR (Special Operations Forces Combat Assault Rifle) is a family of gas-operated short-stroke gas piston automatic rifles developed by Belgian manufacturer FN Herstal (FN) in 2004. It is constructed with modularity for the United States Special Operations Command (SOCOM) to satisfy the requirements of the SCAR competition. This family of rifles consists of two main types. The SCAR-L, for "light", is chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO and the SCAR-H, for "heavy", is chambered in 7.62×51mm NATO. Both types are available in Close Quarters Combat (CQC), Standard (STD), and Long Barrel (LB) variants. The SCAR-L, designated Mk 16 by USSOCOM, was intended to replace the M4A1, the Mk 18 CQBR and the Mk 12 SPR that had been in service (before SOCOM decided to cancel the order for the Mk 16 Mod 0).

Trivia

Also known as Aliana, she's a World War III veteran and former leader of the legendary Daybreak Squad of the United States Army's 75th Ranger Regiment. Canine Companion: Though they don't appear in Eclipse & Saros nor factor into gameplay, Aliana owns a pair of German Shepherds named Samo (blue tag) and Uncle (orange tag). Establishing Character Moment: In her introductory scene, Aliana kills Contender (an elite T-Doll in her own right) in one second, lures the Commander into a trap, and takes them hostage — mere moments after being woken up from 13 years in storage. When the Commander orders her to stand down she refuses, even after being pointed out that her chain of command no longer exists. It's only after the Commander promises the freedom of not having her Neural Cloud altered that she lowers her gun. Fish out of Temporal Water: Having been captured and deactivated during World War 3, Aliana is a bit out-of-touch with the world 13 years later, as revealed by her voicelines.* A Mother to Her Men: To Aliana, every member of her team is indispensible according to her voicelines. The only reason she killed her own team off in 2051 was because of the Dog Tag program, which was triggered by her commanding officer during Operation Couatl/Feathered Serpent. Sibling Rivalry: Amaris remembers Aliana as a traitor who killed all of their comrades in a fit of insanity. Aliana seeks out Amaris because the Dog Tag program forces her to kill other Daybreak Squad members and she can't stop it.

Trivia 2

Super Prototype: Not only are Aliana's specifications extremely high for a 13-year old model, she also possess an Imprint of her weapon — despite the technology only being made public in 2057, six years after she was put into storage by Statesec. The combined form of Dog Tag and Door programs essentially acts as a pseudo-Neural Cloud backup system which, again, was not perfected until 2060. There's also implication that Aliana runs on a different OS entirely, as not even Dandelion can figure out her neural cloud. This is because she was developed by the United States as part of the top-secret Next-Generation Autonomous Doll project. Token Minority: In a cast full of Neo-Soviet and European characters, Aliana stands out as one of three confirmed American characters in the main story (not counting Dolls with American guns.) She shares this status with her sister Amaris and their creator Martha Meitner. Victor Gains Loser's Powers: The Dog Tag program enables Aliana to absorb the combat data of fallen Daybreak Squad members. It's later revealed that it forms one half of a complete system, with the other half being Amaris' Door program. Hidden Buxom: The damaged art for SCAR-L's alternate costume "A Peaceful Afternoon With The Dogs" reveals that she's surprisingly busty under her heavy clothes. Meaningful Name: In Greek Mythology, Ariana was the granddaughter of Helios, making her a child of the sun. Aliana in Girls' Frontline is first of the Daybreak Squad and frequently characterized with sun motifs, in contrast to her lunar-themed twin.
