Detailed Background, One Paragraph or So (the more we can learn about you, the better):
Three months passed after the incident with me on one of the roads of Athenia... This time was a reason to think about who we are and what or whom we want to see in the future.
The tunic of the paladin who was on the chair next to my bed all this time did not let me forget about the reason for which we fought, over our heads.
Last night I received an answer from H+ clinic and they reported that prostheses for me is ready, and waiting for my arrival at the clinic to upgrade my body.
Why do you want to join The Core/APM?:
Taking this opportunity and the information I have presented above, I would like to put forward my candidacy for the right to wear a uniform, piloting again our deadly technology and perhaps restore to the rank of Paladin.
Doctors claim that it will take some time to adapt the body and technology, and I would be happy to spend this time with benefit for myself and new Core| recruits in training battles, but I am afraid that it will be too tough for me to fly up into a real battle from the first days.
Pilot Region, House or Location of Origin: Tripoli Shipyard
Are You Applying for The Core Paramilitary, or our AP Manufacturing Sub-Divison?: Paramilitary
Previous Jobs/Roles/Experience: Freelance trader, opportunistic scavenger and cartographer.
Detailed Background, One Paragraph or So (the more we can learn about you, the better): My family were refugees that wound up settling on Tripoli when I was young. When I was old enough, I started working on the docks ejecting and sorting scrap until I had saved enough to buy a small ship. I started to make a modest amount of money looting the leftovers of raided transports and looking for wrecks in various debris fields. Eventually I was able to afford a bribe to gain access to a mostly clear Freelancer ID for my ship. I picked up a small civilian transport soon after and started making moderately risky trade runs through the Omega systems. Why do you want to join The Core/APM?: I always harbored a resentment towards to the Corsair pirates that brought so much hardship down on my family. I want to take a more active hand in bettering the human race, no matter what form that takes.

InRP Form Pilot Name: Ashley Sunderland
Pilot Age: 32 (born 794 A.S.)
Pilot Region, House or Location of Origin: Planet Houston, Texas, Liberty
Are You Applying for The Core Paramilitary, or our AP Manufacturing Sub-Divison?: Core Paramilitary
Detailed Background, One Paragraph or So (the more we can learn about you, the better): Standard story: born on Houston to a family with proud tradition of military service. Joined the Marine Corps to serve my House. Apparently they saw some potential in me and suggested I enrolled in space flight training program. I heeded the advice, and my piloting skills were deemed sufficient. That made me versatile enough to join the LSF, where I served until my former Director asked for my help with the Omicron business.
Why do you want to join The Core/APM?: Mainly because of the request of Joseph Dawson to "evaluate potential risks to Interspace Commerce investments in the Omicrons". The best way to do it is get involved in day-to-day operations in the Omicrons and see first-hand how things work around here. The displayed affiliation with the Core is necessary to keep Interspace's involvement and interests hidden for now.
I know it's going to become a pretty long-term mission, and I'm prepared for it. This job will also allow me to indirectly protect Liberty from the likes of the Order and the Nomads. I consider that a bonus.

OoRP Form How long have you been playing Freelancer Discovery for?: Since 2010.
Have you ever played a Core character before? Have you read the lore of The Core? Do you know what The Core is?: I've never played a Core character. I only read parts of the lore; I think it will be best for immersion if the character learns some things first-hand. What I've read over the years (and recently) is enough to grasp the basics and provide quality RP.
How familiar are you with the Edge Worlds?: Played as the Order since 2010, so should be familiar enough. Had Outcast and Corsair characters from time to time, though they didn't see too much action in comparison. Things have changed over time, and I haven't visited some of the new/revamped systems yet. But that's nothing I can't handle.
How would you rate your RP skills out of 10?: 8
How would you rate your PvP skills out of 10? What ship-types are you good in?: 6 or 7. I primarily fly fighters, and only recently started using gunboats.
Why do you want to join the The Core?: The Core seems like the best place to look at the Omicrons from another angle and further develop the character's story.
Do you already own a Core ship? If yes, what ship(s) is it?: A Lich with Core guns. Might swap it for something civilian to keep in line with the story of an Interspace observer. Though I kind of like the Lich, and I think Ash would love it too.
What Country and/or Time Zone do you operate in?: GMT +4
What is your Discord ID (mandatory)?: Lightstrain#4667
What is your Skype (optional)?: I no longer use it for Freelancer. (Almost) everyone has moved to Discord anyway.
Pilot Region, House or Location of Origin: Rheinland, Planet Stuttgart
Are You Applying for The Core Paramilitary, or our AP Manufacturing Sub-Divison?: The Core Paramilitary
Previous Jobs/Roles/Experience: The Bounty Hunters Guild
Detailed Background, One Paragraph or So (the more we can learn about you, the better): I knew for a long time that I wanted to be a military pilot. I got a chance in getting into the bounty hunters guild, and so I did. I had a very good experience at the beginning, hunting around the rheinland space as well as the neighboring omega systems (e.g. omega-7). Though, I remember when things in the rheinland space started to become very weird. Major shakeups in the military ranks. But there was another thing: colleagues of mine started disappearing under weird conditions. Things were being told about the remote omega systems, and strange artifacts that were found there. Me, being keen to explore the remote systems nobody had ever set foot on, found a way, sooner or later, to get into the bounty hunter task force that was operating the omega-41 system, and was also patrolling in the omicron theta and omicron gamma systems. We'd encountered rheinland military ships of all things. The ones that were supposed to protect the peace of innocent people. Then I was told that those aren't usual military pilots, and that they were infected by an alien species. During our hunting, we were gradually unfolding the whole thing. We needed to do more than bounty hunting in order to eliminate those "nomads". We needed to explore the systems they were in, so we can learn more about them, and then take the war to them.
Long story short, I may have found something greater than the bounty hunters guild (that was even originated from it), something that not only is able to eliminate the foreign enemy that I started seeing during my explorations with colleagues at the omega and omicron systems, but also making sirius a better place for us humans to be. Former colleagues of mine have joined in, so I might as well do so myself.
Why do you want to join The Core/APM?: I believe they have the means to take the war against those that threatened our very existence, and furthermore, they strive for a better future for the human kind, and I'm willing to help in any way I can to make this happen.
OoRP Form How long have you been playing Freelancer Discovery for?: About 7 - 8 months as far discovery itself goes, but I have a long experience from vanilla too (playing vanilla from 2009 - 2014; came back to it when I joined in discovery).
Have you ever played a Core character before? Have you read the lore of The Core? Do you know what The Core is?: No (unless "indies" count), yes, and yes.
How familiar are you with the Edge Worlds?: Not much (things are different in discovery) but I believe I can learn quickly.
How would you rate your RP skills out of 10?: Uh.....4?
How would you rate your PvP skills out of 10? What ship-types are you good in?: 5,5 on a good day, preferring to fly fighters and bombers, but open to other types of ships as well.
Why do you want to join the The Core?: They're kind of a unique faction. They're not "the good guys", but not "the bad ones" either. They're both and none at the same time, which makes for an interesting result. I've also found myself playing a lot with the core faction over the time I've been in discovery.
Do you already own a Core ship? If yes, what ship(s) is it?: Yes. I have a couple of bombers and very heavy fighters.
What Country and/or Time Zone do you operate in?: Southern Europe, GMT +2
What is your Discord ID (mandatory)?: GAIVS TROLLIVS #3167

I landed a job flying with a local group doing patrols and security for all sorts of things. After dealing with all sorts of pirates for the last 6 years, I have decided I want to move on and find some more steady work.
