A skinny young woman in loose olive baggy pants and a white tanktop enters the Recruitment Office. Her smallbreasted chest, her dresscode, and the relatively short blonde undercut made her look like a sloppy manly teenager. The only thing that appeared female on her was the necklace, which turned out to be a dog tag as the officer behind the desk looked her over again.
As the woman purposefully walked toward the Soldier, he stands up and asks:"Guten Morgen Fräulein,.. how may i help you?"
"I'm here to enlist, Captain Obvious!"she replied in a harsh tone just a second before realizing she said that out loud. She usually wouldn't mind such sayings, but here it was something different. It could have messed up her whole future.
Not having expected such a comment, nor being prepared for it, the Officer decided to just laugh over it."Gut Gut.. I somewhat like that attitude, reminds me of myself. But remember: You're better of supressing such comments if you don't want to have a hard life in the Militär .. And believe me, you don't want to! "he said still grinning." So .. what do you want to enlist for?"
She looked around the room trying to find any hint to the military structures the man is talking about."Ooh.. i don't know.. the Job that gives best pay i guess .." she resigned.
"Humm,.. good payment on lower ranks .. that would probably be the commando units"he said, eyeballing her again."But,.. don't get me wrong, I think your bones won't take the pressure from all the gear those guys got straped on .. hang on!"He turns around on his chair and rummages around some filing cabinets until he found the information sheets he was looking for."Have a look at these."he said, handing over the folder."Why do you want to join the Military anyways?"
"Ooh..Long story.. i've lost my Job on Freiburg Station and ran in some financial problems while being unemployed. To be honest, i'm just short on money, time and options."she said while studying the information sheets. The soldier, bearing in mind to find out more information about the candidate kept asking. "Why did you loose your Job?"
The woman lifted her head from the papers she was studying and looked the solider in his eyes. Expressing a very annoyed face for having to answer such questions over and over again she said: "I got charged for involuntary manslaughter"The Officer stared at her in disbelieve, but before he could have said anything, she continued"The Court withdrew the charge. It was an act in self defence. A wannabe Bounty Hunter caught me in a bar on Freiburg Station thinking i was some drug smuggling whore the police was after, and as i refused his stupid demands, he threatened me with his knife."While listening to the explanation of the woman, the Officer secretly opens up the Rheinland Citizen Database and searches the court case. Trying to keep her busy while looking for the Data he asked:"What happened then?"
"As the guy rushed to attack me i smashed my bottle against the desk and tried to keep him and his knife on distance. somehow he managed to ram his arm into the sharp edges of the broken glass. It ended up with a deep cut through the artey. He died two hours later on the medical deck. Beside me not showing up in any Criminal Database, Court found out that this Bounty Hunter didn't have any valid contract to operate within Rheinland Territory, the result was pretty clear..."She explained.
As the computer of the soldier finally spits out the results, the officer matches the logs with the explanation of the woman and then nods accretively."I guess thats the reason you don't find another Job.. isn't it?" He said in a calm compassionate tone. The young woman approved.
"Well.. That should not be a too big of a problem with us i guess. At least you already know how it feels.. found anything interesting so far?" He asked, pointing with his eyes on the information sheets. The woman browsed the pages until she found the the right one and handed the folder back to the Officer. "Ahh the Kriegsmarine! Good choice. Gut Gut.. Let's get it done. Shall we?" Opening the Database software for enlistment, the man orders her around the desk so she can correct his typing if neccesary.
... They work their way through the bulk of information.
After they both reviewed the Data two times the Officer opened his drawyer an grabed his camera."Okay, last thing we have to do is to take some Photos of you, please lean yourself on the wall over there"He pointed on a greyish part of the Wall. The young lady stood up, pressed her body against it and stared into the camera.
*click* ..
"Gut, 45 Degree off"
*click* ..
"Looks nice .. Side!"
*click* ..
"Thats it. Dankeschön .. i'll attach the pictures and send the file now.. I'm sure the you'll receive your answer in the next few days. once they reviewed your application" He heads back to his Computer, sits down and starts hammering the touchpads ignoring the woman from now on. The fresh recruit applicant looks at him shaking her head quietly in response to the sudden character change and leaves the Recruitment Center.

Planet/Station of Origin:Planet Stuttgart
Background Information:Annemarie Franck was born on Planet Stuttgart. Being the only girl in her family of four brothers she learned the ability to assert oneself during her childhood, therefore her character got forged in a unsual male way. She always felt more as a guy than a girl. In school, she only had average notes because she was probably more concetrating on bullying her classmates instead of learning, what made her hardly finding a Job after she graduated. She accepted a lower class Job on Station Freiburg, where she threw around the luggage of space pilots.
One day, as she went to the Bar on the station during her leisure-time, she had a fatal fight with a Bounty Hunter. She got charged for involuntary manslaughter and got fired. After several hours in court, the charge was withdrewed as the Judge said it happened in self defence. With her average graduation, and her brutal background, she never found a new job though. So she decided to try her luck at the Military.
For how long have you been playing on Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 ?
About a Month now? .. What made you come play on Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 ?
Hehe, weird story. I've been looking for some LAN game to play with me and a friend of mine. As i browsed through my game CD's i've stumbled over the dusty Freelancer copy. Since i've always liked that game when i was a teenager, i've wondered if there were any mods for multiplayer.. I've started google, and found the Discovery Server. Having enjoyed the Time playing Ultima Online on several Roleplay shards , i've decided to give this a try.
What other characters do you have on the Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 server?
Currently: Vitha Brand .. still thinking and developing of some characters outside Rheinland. What OOC reason do you have for joining the RM?
