Previous Jobs/Roles/Experience: Transport for Plantetform INC and BMM / Spy and mercenary for the BIS
Detailed Background, One Paragraph or So (the more we can learn about you, the better): Born and raised in Leeds, Glasgow outpost where I was surrounded by mining and manufacturing careers and industry. I hated it. Growing up was boring but rough feeling trapped in the small world of Leeds. Being at the border wouldn't help either; the next system over was busy with the same thing. I would take every chance I got to take a trip elsewhere, so at the age of 19 after learning how to pilot a maneuver freighters I would take transportation jobs with Planetform INC and BMM. I would get to go as far Hudson, California, Omega-49. Sure it was just a corner of Sirius but I would get to meet people from everywhere on the stations I visited. I would get to hear stories and learn all about Sirius, and I would get to make friends. I was a likeable guy back then, so I befriended a few bounty hunters that would ask me to take certain delivery tasks so I could give them info about potential high-value targets it would be easier for me to get closer to, and so I did. In return they would pay me a percentage of their earnings and show me where are and how to travel through the various jumpholes in the systems we visited. This went on till I turned 23. At this point I felt protected by the many friends of the BHG wherever I went. I knew all about piracy, bounties, people skills and especially trading. I would think that my future will be at some point working AP or in any way with the BHG, but in 816 A.S. I was approached by a member of the BIS: he offered me a job as a spy and mercenary in return for the esteemed training of piloting the "Challenger" bomber and later the "Crecy" destroyer. I went far into the border worlds gathering intel and sources as well as participating in assaults against the Nomads. Things went on for 9 years, until Gallian forces invaded. My lead command perished in an attack from the inside, my home system and station was either under the invaders dominance or burned down. Everything was falling apart in Bretonia and I felt like there is no place left for me in it, so I left and I didn't look back. I reached out my old friends on the BHG, but they changed; they no longer hunted down criminals for some scrap, they joined a different kind of force - The Core. They told me all about it, well obviously not quite everything, but all there was public and a bit more of their history I got to learn. I was excited about it as if I were 19 again starting to pilot freighters. They were power hungry and greedy, holding the banner of triumph, and I wanted in. I wanted to use my skills to benefit me for once, therefor they got me a visa to Omicron Rho where they are stationed, so now I'm here, awaiting approval.
Why do you want to join The Core/APM?: I want to be part of a new empire that dominates its corner of the world and even more after, I want the power it comes with the title, I want to put to use everything I've learnt over the last 15 years of exploring the other end of Sirius.
