Sophia McMoo/Time in the Military (3.0 Version)

==Airforce==
After graduating early, Sophia decided to join the military straight out of high school. While her father didn't approve of this due to the ideals of his family, he was still supportive of her decision. Her mother fully supported this decision and even encouraged it, as she thought that the future head of the Baekje Family should be a formidable warrior. Sophia officially joined the Air Force on 8/5/2009. Due to her previous experience flying several aircraft on her family farm as well as her mother calling in some favors, Sophia was allowed to enlist as a pilot despite not qualifying to join as an officer. Her MOS was 11GX prior to joining Special Forces.
During Her time in the Air Force before joining Special Forces, she progressed to the rank of Master Sargent in roughly 8 years. She earned several awards due to her heroism during this time, as well as a certain level of recognition among her peers, superiors, and among certain people involved with special forces. She also completed her Master's degree in Engineering through Vespucci University while in the Air Force. While in the military she was deployed to the Osan Air Base in South Korea, the Misawa Air Base in Japan, the Aviano Air Base in Italy, and Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska (United States).
===4/23/2010: Grandeur Ambush===
Sophia's First Deployment after boot camp was to the Osan Air Base in South Korea. This was given to her not only due to her familiarity with the culture, but also due to some meddling by the Baekje Family. She was sent there aboard a prototype aircraft carrier, the USS Grandeur, to help oversea a shipment of UH-1N Twin Huey and F-22A Raptors to the base. The carrier and it's convoy were subsequently attacked by A North Korean force, largely consisting of fighters, several destroyers, and a carrier. Sophia and those she was ordered to oversee the shipment with assisted the skeleton crew of the carrier and the convoy in fending off the attack. She flew one of the F-22's outfitted with short range air-to-air missiles and 4 air to surface bombs. She personally downed 13 enemy fighters and caused significant damage to the opposing carrier and the finishing blow to one destroyer using the bombs, causing it to sink. She was awarded the Air Force Cross for her heroism, and the incident was classified.

===10/31/2015: Tokyo Portal===
During her time in Japan, The JDSF asked for her and several other's assistance with an otherworldly portal they had discovered. She helped design a small robot that could transmit through the portal to get data. Upon discovering that the other side appeared to be habitable, she joined the JSDF on their exploration of the other side. Things seemed normal at first and they set up a base on the other side of the portal, but after some exploration, one of the larger platoons sent out came under attack from strange beings that easily overpowered that unit. Sophia took out a transport helicopter and made several trips transporting those who were under attack back to the base. Unbeknownst to them, she had been hit several times in the left leg by some kind of projectile from one of the larger creatures. Upon landing with the final load of Soldiers, she promptly passed out from a combination of blood loss and slow acting poison from the projectiles. She spent about a week in the hospital due to her injuries. Overall they had spent about 2 months on the other side of the portal. The JSDF decided to withdraw and close the portal, but kept all of the data they collected and shared it with the US military and both classified the events. Sophia was awarded the Air Force Distinguished Service Medal & Purple Heart for her injuries and contributions with her first other worldly experience.
===12/24/2016: Serial at 2501 Meters===
Sophia was briefly transferred to Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska to assist her future Special Forces unit in tracking down a mass murderer who was hunting military personnel and hiding their remains around the base to instill fear in those residing there. Sophia's expertise was vital in finding out that he was using old maintenance tunnels to move around undetected. Upon realizing that Sophia was on to them, the individual stabbed her and attempted to flee. Sophia got up and despite her wounds, sniped him at a range of 2501 meters as they tried to run out of the base. The assailant had been planning to use that rifle on the base commander. Sophia was awarded the Purple Heart for her injuries.
===7/4/2017: Temporal Disturbance #15628===
While en route back to Aviano Air Base from a training mission onboard an AC-130U, the plane ended up caught in a temporal anomaly. In this anomaly, the plane was forced to land by some form of temporal entity. This entity forced Sophia and the others with her to face off against what it called “their red selves”. After fighting off their red selves, Sophia was the only one still conscious. The temporal entity then attempted to kill both the red timeline and regular versions of everyone by accelerating their aging process.  Sophia was immune to the age changing powers of the temporal entity due to “events yet to come” as the entity put it. As the entity was impressed,  It undid the aging on the others and returned them to their respective timelines along with a recording of what had happened, but not before using a pistol to shoot Sophia twice in the left shoulder. They were returned to their base, not their previous position, with their plane a smoldering ruin. The incident was classified and Sophia was awarded the Silver Star for her gallantry and the Purple Heart for her injuries. She was promoted to Master Sergeant shortly after this incident.
==Special Forces==
Due to her experience in dealing with very odd situations previously as well as her stellar track record, Sophia was recruited into a Top Secret unit codenamed Celestial Phantom based out of Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland (United States) on 7/24/2017. This unit’s primary missions were not only tracking down and incapacitating mass murderers and other war criminals, but also they were the primary response team for dealing with extraterrestrial, supernatural, and temporal threats. This unit consisted of 42 of the most talented individuals. Her MOS for special forces was 11SXZ and her codename was Operator 13. Upon joining this unit she was given a commission at the rank of Captain.
It is while in this unit that Sophia met Jericho Raine and Montgomery Khan. Jericho and Sophia hit it off instantly, and even got engaged to each other. Montgomery became one of Sophia’s closest friends and was even adopted into her family by Baekje Sarang, due to Montgomery not having any living family of his own. 
===6/14/2018: ex-KGB Murders===
Sophia was awarded the Bronze Star for her assistance in investigating a mysterious set of murders that led to her helping capture an "ex" KGB Operative. The details of this incident are still heavily classified.
===1/1/2020: Symbiote===
In 2019, Sophia was tasked with leading her unit in tracking down and capturing a war criminal named Carth Galak,  who was responsible for thousands of deaths as well as his subordinates. They spent months gathering intel. The night before they went to raid, one of their informants betrayed them and leaked their plan to those about to be raided after one of the operatives let the plan slip.
The day of the raid the entire unit breaches the compound to find hundreds of individuals who had been burned alive, most of whom were still alive. One of them grabbed Sophia’s arm and she tried to help them up, but all of the skin slid off of their arm. Refocusing, she told the unit that these people were beyond helping and that they had to keep moving or they would jeopardize the mission. Further into the compound, they were ambushed and a firefight ensued. During this firefight, an explosion caused Montgomery Khan to fall through the floor of the building they were in and was buried by rubble. Despite their best efforts,  most of Sophia's comrades were killed. Sophia also took 4 bullets to the throat, which caused severe damage to her vocal chords. Sophia, Jericho, and eight others were captured.
Each of those captured was tortured and each day after the first, their captors killed one of them. The methods of torture included electrocution, waterboarding, and a form of ‘death by a thousand cuts’ where they would cut open each prisoner’s palms and pour various substances on the bleeding flesh. Sophia, being the only female survivor, was repeatedly raped and used as her captor’s play thing in front of her Fiancé, Jericho. It was revealed to them that their captor’s were using all of this suffering to try to summon and enslave one of the 13 demon kings and that Sophia would be the final sacrifice. After witnessing the death of Jericho on the 10th day, Sophia’s mind was severely broken and the demon had begun to take physical form as a dark, shadowy figure. The demon, Revan, offered the broken Sophia a deal: if she helped interfere with the summoning and enslavement the demon would heal her mind. Sophia agreed to help, but the only way to interfere due to how far the ritual had progressed was to make Revan a symbiote instead of enslaving it. They used a combination of demonic script, Latin, and fractal art that was passed down by the Orsini family. Sophia and Revan became host and symbiote at 6am on New Years, 5 hours after Jericho’s death. Due to the inclusion of the fractal art, which was actually celestial writing, Sophia also unknowingly became host to Inara, a celestial deity that had protected and guided her family for generations.
Upon discovering what had happened, Carth Galak was furious. He lifted his weapon to kill Sophia when suddenly the floor collapsed out from under her and she fell 2 stories. Montgomery had rigged the entire building with explosives and made his way through a nuclear waste area in order to rescue Sophia. He and Sophia were able to escape and witnessed a helicopter take off from the base.
===Aftermath===
Sophia would spend the next 4 months in the hospital recovering from her injuries and undergoing physical and mental therapy. After several surgeries she became able to talk again but was told her voice would never sound the same. Sophia was awarded the Medal of Honor & Purple Heart due to her actions during the Symbiote incident.
