Detailed Background, One Paragraph or So (the more we can learn about you, the better):
Born on Planet Los Angeles, California to a humble Synth Foods Cargo Inspector, Gray had always been subject to the corporate shipping world. At the age 10 during a bring your son/daughter to work trip where all of the children would learn some of the ins and outs of Synth Foods shipping, Gray experienced his first ever contact with pirates. Luckily the transport he had been on only wanted a smaller some of money and part of the cargo on board. However that day forever sparked conflict in Gray as he now was obsessed with getting cargo to and from its destination without harm to it or the employees hauling it. Over the years he has worked hard and bought his own ship. He works constantly to upgrade his status as a cargo hauler in the world, upgrading his ship, trading up into larger more practical ships, and working on his trade routes. One day he hopes to seek revenge on pirates and dirty smugglers either by helping a force to end them by supplying goods which he already knows about, or even learning how to dogfight in the future in order to take them out himself.
Why do you want to join The Core/APM?:
To learn better ways to ship supplies, maybe even branch into The Core later. The Border Worlds seem to be the place to do it. I also like where your loyalties lie. The ships and hardware you folks pack could definitely be seen as a bonus as well.

OoRP Form How long have you been playing Freelancer Discovery for?:
Discovery? I've been playing around with it for about a month now. Freelancer? I've been playing it on and off online and the campaign since about the time it came out in 2003. I have played on Discovery Servers before, but I'm not counting that as so much has changed with the later versions.
Have you ever played a Core character before? Have you read the lore of The Core? Do you know what The Core is?:
No. Yes though I'm terrible with keeping track of lore. Yes, The Core is an independent entity with ties to the BH Guild and a claim on all of the Border World Systems.
How familiar are you with the Edge Worlds?:
I'm mostly familiar with Beta,Theta, and Gamma though I would need to brush up on those as well. However that being said, if accepted I plan to run through and map all of the jump holes and such in game using the Discovery Navmap.
How would you rate your RP skills out of 10?:
7ish? I'm not a voice actor and probably wouldn't put on a voice. When I play a role I self identify with that role already. If I don't I won't play that role. So that is to say that I already enjoy the type of role that The Core offers and I will probably be a good fit just being me. That being said I understand that there is certain dialogue that needs to be had while role-playing and I have no qualms with that.
How would you rate your PvP skills out of 10? What ship-types are you good in?:
6 maybe? I'm not sure, I tried a BH character a weeks or two ago, attacked a Red Hessian player, and about got smoked. I was able to disengage and run away safely, but I have a lot to learn. After the battle I immediately dropped the Manta for a Hammerhead because iI felt that if i had just that little extra bit of firepower I would have wrecked the guy. Unfortunately I have since managed to start a new character over top of that one so I no longer have access.
Why do you want to join the The Core?:
I like your alignments, your ships, your systems, and the fact that you may not always do the most lawful of things. I have always liked BH's too.
Do you already own a Core ship? If yes, what ship(s) is it?:
No (Planning to pick up a Serenity to help transport, maybe something bigger later.)
What Country and/or Time Zone do you operate in?:
Eastern Standard Time
What is your Skype?:
I do not use skype.
Finally, what is your Discord ID?:
