Background Information: Bernd Schneider was born on Planet Hamburg and also grew up there. His mother, still living on Hamburg, is the head of a laboratory of the Hamburg police forensics. His father was a speculator on the stock exchange, also on Hamburg and died 8 years ago due to a heart disease. After his fathers death his uncle, who was a trainer in the RM Flight Training Centre on Hamburg, took care of Bernd and whenever there were no training lessons planned, he took Bernd to the simulators just to have him some fun. What might be cooler for a teenager than playing around with military simulators? Turned out, that Bernd was a very talented pilot and a pretty good tactician. But when Bernd was 18 his uncle retired, so there was no possibility to proceed with the training in the Centre. His uncle tried to convince him to apply for the RM, but he never made that step, because he thought, his skills might not be enough (yet). He decided to buy a ship by himself and get some experiences. The next six years he escorted other pilots and also took a few bounty-hunt jobs. Of course there were people, who were not happy about hearing things like “No, we did not capture the freighter, a civilian greenhorn shot our two fighters down…” After some time, the Red Hessians decided to get rid of Bernd, because he frequently disturbed their operations. They bought some information, about where he was about to be the next days and they sent 4 elite-pilots to hunt him down.
Finally they found and engaged him. He was able to kill 2 of them, but after 30 minutes of merciless fighting they managed to shred his ship into pieces. His escape-pod was damaged and stuck in the wreck of his ship. As the remaining Hessians were about to destroy the pod, a RM-patrol recognized them. The Hessians tried to flee, but the RM-pilots intercepted them and brought them to justice. While checking the fight-site for escape-pods they found Bernd badly injured and stuck in the wreck. They freed him and took him to the New Berlin Hospital. As soon as Bernd was able to think and talk again, the Feldwebel, who led the patrol visited him. He was impressed, that Bernd survived that long against the Hessians and even killed two of them. He told Bernd, that the RM could always use pilots like him and that he could put in a good word for Bernd.
After curing his injuries Bernd finally decided to apply for the RM, never forgetting that he owes it his life.

About one and a half week. But I'm very familiar with FL in general. I played it for a very long time 3 or 4 years ago.
What made you come play on Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 ?
Well, actually I just wanted to play Freelancer again. I looked around, if there were good mods and then I found this one. And what could I say? It’s awesome! Also I think the RP gives a lot more long-term-motivation. Of course it’s also great that the community here seems very active and the server is always well visited.

What OOC reason do you have for joining the RM?
I always liked Rheinland and the design of the Rheinland ships. I also like the military organisation, so it just fits perfectly.
