## Collection Profile

* Base
* Rearm: Joint Investigation

*Kang Soyoung, an officer of SWAT 4, is a supportive ranged attacker who rehabilitates criminals by crashing into them with a police car.*

*She works in a special division that deals with Counter criminals. Despite her team having the highest death rate, she has maintained her position longer than anyone and solved countless cases with her excellent marksmanship and deduction skills. But her true talent is boldness beyond common sense that enables her to catch the criminals off guard.*

*Most people don't understand why she can't get out of her lowly position despite her great performance. But she doesn't really care about how she is treated within the force. Maybe she is marked by the commissioner for crashing so many cars.*

*As Police SWAT 4 has made some notable achievements, even those lukewarm leaders are beginning to show enthusiasm in supporting the team.*

*Now police helicopters are also dispatched to control traffic and pursue suspects, contributing to a faster arrest. The new latest-spec police cars are ready to help you make the best of your driving skills on any road. Of course, just a sturdy personal gear would be enough for Lieutenant Kang, who has demonstrated excellent performance even in poor condition.*
## Skills

* **Driving:** Soyoung has exceptional driving skills to allow her to arrive at crime scenes in time and catch up to criminals without delay. Before joining the police force, she was renown for breaking records at auto-racing events.
* **Intuition and Criminal Analysis:** Soyoung is renown within her station for being able to solve the most challenging criminal cases and having what others describe as "an extraordinary gut instinct when it comes to solving cases".

### Equipment

* **HK USP:** Soyoung's standard-issue pistol.
* **Speed Driver helmet:** A helmet that protects the head against impact. Additionally said to be useful for suspect interrogation purposes.

### Weaknesses

Despite her driving prowess, Soyoung is notorious for constantly wrecking the vehicles she drives on the job. Miraculously, however, she always comes out unharmed after crashing her vehicle.

## Personality

Kang Soyoung is typically cheery, relaxed and easygoing but never complacent nor overconfident. As an regular human and veteran member of the Police SWAT 4, considered the most dangerous job in the police force, she is highly cautious and relies on her wit to gain the advantage of those who are much stronger than her. She's also remarkably perceptive and intelligent as she has helped fellow officers investigate and solve crimes they get stuck on.

Soyoung has a strong sense of duty, which is why she remained on Police SWAT 4 even when all other member resigned from the division. Being a good reader of people, she can sometimes empathize with criminals when learning about their motives and intentions while maintaining her responsibilities as a police officer.

Counterintuitively, Soyoung is absurdly reckless when it comes to driving. While she always manages to get to destinations or catch criminals, she always ends up causing immense property damage to her vehicle and her surrounding upon arrival, though she is usually able to avoid human casualties. Furthermore, she openly admitted that being allowed to speed without penalty was one of the reasons why she joined the police force.
