Trader of opportunity in the Border and Edge Worlds, operating on his own. (//Freelancer)
Detailed Background, One Paragraph or So (the more we can learn about you, the better):
Hi, my name is Gregory Collins. I am born in Rheinland, but spent most of my early life on Solarius Station, a spacer at heart. As a lot of people from Solarius, I have worked as a diamond hauler for Daumann through several long lasting contracts for a few years. I never liked going to Rheinland or Liberty. House space is so different from what I'm used to, you know. So one day, I stopped taking contracts for Daumann, and started looking for employers that did not take me to house space. So I started working for Zoners, remote mining facilities, research groups such as Cryer or independent stations, mostly running supplies from station to station.
Now, I feel like I do not have a purpose. I'm just roaming around aimlessly, just to make profit where profit is. Maybe that's what you call mid-life crisis, but I feel like I need to stop freelancing and get something more stable. So I've looked for shipping companies in the border worlds. Of course, there is OSI, but these guys are Zoners and I do not really relate to them and their way of life. Well, I do, but not for the same reasons. This is why I am sending you this application form, because I believe your AP Manufacturing division would suit me quite well.
In some of my runs into the deeper Omicrons and Omegas,I have encountered many infected ships. Even though I've never seen one for myself, I am fully aware about the Slomon K'hara threat. If I could help -even a bit- in the defence of the Omicrons, I would feel like I'd have accomplished something.
Why do you want to join The Core/APM?:
I feel like being part of a real organization would be uplifting, and a great opportunity.

OoRP Form How long have you been playing Freelancer Discovery for?:
Since the very end of 4.86, although I've had some months-long breaks so there are some things that I might have missed.
Have you ever played a Core character before? Have you read the lore of The Core? Do you know what The Core is?:
I have read the wiki page, the official description in the forums, as well as some research projects. I believe I've got a pretty good grasp over what it is. I only have a core transport that I made a few days ago, but my char did not meet a lot of people so far.
How familiar are you with the Edge Worlds?:
I know the Omegas and the Sigmas pretty well, and the Omicrons controlled by humans. I've never been to the Nomad Worlds however.
How would you rate your RP skills out of 10?:
I'd say 7-8, but I'm sometimes prone to make lore mistakes.
How would you rate your PvP skills out of 10? What ship-types are you good in?:
I don't have much experience in PvP in any ship class except from bombers and transports. I'm trying to learn to play battleships at the moment.
Why do you want to join the The Core?:
I want to play in the omicrons with some serious RP. I was not able to get what I wanted to do with a freelancer id. It offers many possibilities, but also many restrictions. I enjoy group-based RP, and I think the Core could be the faction that suits me.
Do you already own a Core ship? If yes, what ship(s) is it?:
Bison, battle transport.
What Country and/or Time Zone do you operate in?:
France, UTC+1.
