IRP Name: Valerie Collier Age: 20; DOB 03/15/814 Height: 5'5" (165cm) Weight: 112lbs (50.8kg) Biography: Along with my sister Aurore, I grew up on Planet Houston in the town of New Beauxbridge. My family lacked much in the way of means, but provided for us as best they could. Of course, we repaid them by getting involved in scuffles and trouble and giving them the indignity of having to see their kids behind bars. The experience was enough of a stressor to cause the onset of Schlesinger-Myers Syndrome, a tier-4 acquired chronic fibrinogen deficiency inherited in the womb from exposure to certain heavy metals found in residue from the Dallas Incident. My parents invested a lot keeping me alive and treated, but I was practically bedridden for most of my teenage years. Only time I ever went out was with my sister on those ride-alongs, otherwise I was mostly studying in hopes of getting an Ageira-sponsored scholarship.
That all changed with our first trip up to space. It was there that my pains and aches, my vertigo... it all stopped. I felt in my heart that I needed to be in the black, and joined Aurore in enlisting in the Navy. With the opportunity provided by my treatment, I was able to push past my symptoms and reach a state of fitness to serve. In my time at West Point, I was able to acclimate well to the way of things and found an aptitude for spaceflight. Soon, I was assigned to active duty.
What's your motivation for joining our fleet?: The Fifth Fleet's reputation speaks for itself. I hope to be part of keeping that reputation and tradition for excellence, working within a tight-knit group over the more informal Secondary forces. I also hope to find a way to put my aptitude for academia and research to better use.
OORP What kind of experience do you have on Discovery?: I've been in many factions, led some, and done all manner of RP, PvP, trading... over a decade of experience by this point. I consider myself especially adept when it comes to making and fleshing out characters, really getting into them and trying to help them come to life. I've also done military play in the past and am hoping to get back into it with this.

The Misses Collier,
I will briefly note the entertaining curiosity your joint applications made, as we don't usually receive packets with the same last name on the same date with similar details.
Said curiosity aside, both of your applications appeared to be well acceptable. There was some brief concern on the part of Ms. Valerie in regards to your ailment, so you will be receiving a small form to fill out in addition to the usual applicatory acceptance documents, which can be submitted to the fleet liason officer when you arrive on West Point for idents and orders.
I look forward to seeing where both of your careers take you, and I wish you both the best of luck.
Sincerely,
Alexander Samuel Kingston
Commodore

IRP Name: William Realtak Age: 23 Height: 5' 20 (158,6) Weight: 117 lbs (53.4 kg) Biography: Born on planet Los Angeles, William grew up in relative comfort provided by his father's job as a Planetform engineer, tasked with terraforming Planet California Minor. Inspired by his father, William wanted to pursue an education in planetary environmental manipulation, aiming to study at Cambridge, where his father's family resides. Unfortunately, the Gallic offensive into Magellan and Cortez forced them to stay in Liberty, and to make matters worse, the blockade of the resources necessary to terraform Minor almost led to the scrapping of the project. As the war continued, funding for the project decreased, as did the pay received by the engineers. Seeing this, young William saw only one way to secure a stable future for himself: joining the Liberty Navy.
What's your motivation for joining our fleet?: I want to express my gratitude to the Navy for protecting my family and me during the Gallic War. What better way to show my appreciation than by serving in the Fifth Fleet, which was critical to our victory?
OORP What kind of experience do you have on Discovery?: I was lucky to meet cool people after returning to Disco and with them I got to participate in roleplay, combat a few events even in HC of some factions but never in a military faction.
