Detailed Background, One Paragraph or So (the more we can learn about you, the better): Hey, there. Name's Mason. My life's as textbook as you can get, really, though I guess my stint with the LSF taught me that it's just what I do that shapes me.
I grew up on Manhattan, Mom an LPI cop and Dad a distant being in the Armed Forces. I'm not sure if there was a moment during my childhood where my mother wasn't being the overcaring, over-stringent parent she was, but for the majority of it I was tutored under the same law and order doctrine she followed, and she expected a fairly decent amount of her ideals to rub off on me. I doubt every ideal did, but when I joined the Navy, she seemed to grow a little more distant. When she died in 819, it shook me a little, but I kept going, knowing she would've wanted me to push on.
I stayed in the Navy for about four years before transferring over to the Liberty Security Force. There they did what they could to give me the skills that were required of an LSF agent. I stayed for about three years there before trying my luck on my own. Freelance merc work, intel jobs, that sort of thing.
Right now, I'm flying for the Core as a contractor, hoping to see more of the Omicrons and get back into the same kind of military life I had back in Liberty.
Why do you want to join The Core/APM?: To personally see more of the Omicron systems, and to get back my old military bearing. I liked keeping people safe, and the Omicron systems just seem like the kind of danger I want to protect against.
