Previous Jobs/Roles/Experience:
I have been an employee of Border World Exports for thirteen years. The first four years I've spent as an escort pilot, but, upon marrying, I requested captainship of a transport vessel, which was granted to me. In my nine years as transport captain, I have not even once lost a single crew member or haul of cargo.
Detailed Background, One Paragraph or So (the more we can learn about you, the better):
What can I tell about myself? I've been born on Planet Leeds, where I spent my childhood and younger years — nothing really outstanding there. I completed the compulsory school education time and planned on joining Her Majesty's Armed Forces, but was discouraged from that by my mother. Now, seeing how many losses Bretonia had to take during the course of the war with Gallia, I'm glad that she did.
I spent the next few years doing some minor jobs out of a youthful desire to be flexible and have as much time on my hands as I needed. I won't bore you with the details, but suffice it to say that, after a time, I couldn't take this lifestyle anymore and so I applied as an escort pilot for Bowex. It was during this time that I met my beautiful wife, Cordelia Lyell, through coincidence, as we both were tasked to escort the same shipment of gold to Rheinland.
We married when I was 28 and our first child was born two years after that. However, with the Gaelic war further escalating over the years, my again expecting wife and I deemed Bretonia unfit as an environment to safely raise children in, and so, only a month ago, we took the necessary precautions to travel to the Edge Worlds, where we'd seek protection from the Core in exchange for our and our children's devotion and labour force.
Why do you want to join The Core/APM?:
My wife and I sought a secure place for our family and the Core provides just that. Since we aren't leeches, I will of course offer my skills to APM in exchange for said security and to provide for my family and bring prosperty of the rest of the citizens living in the Imperium Omicroniae.
OoRP Form How long have you been playing Freelancer Discovery for?:
I've been playing Discovery for about six months now, though I've played FL itself for about six years, only on other servers.
Have you ever played a Core character before? Have you read the lore of The Core? Do you know what The Core is?:
Yes, yes and yes.
How familiar are you with the Edge Worlds?:
I know them by heart.
How would you rate your RP skills out of 10?:
I hate that question, though were I to put a number on it, I'd say 8.
How would you rate your PvP skills out of 10? What ship-types are you good in?:
I've spent most of my FL days on the Hamburg City Freelancer Server, whose sole content is snub PvP in Eagles, or rather, gank the other side for nine hours until they gotta sleep and/or ragequit. I'm very proficient in snubs 9/10, and have no idea what I'm doing in caps, which is why I don't have any.
Why do you want to join the The Core?:
I adore the concept.
Do you already own a Core ship? If yes, what ship(s) is it?:
Core ID'd Bison Transport
Core ID'd Eagle (because I can't help the nostalgia factor)
What Country and/or Time Zone do you operate in?:
Germany, GMT +2
