Pilot Region, House or Location of Origin: Born on Planet Amiens, Picardy, Gallia; now a Bretonian citizen
Are You Applying for The Core Paramilitary, or our AP Manufacturing Sub-Divison?: Preferably APM, eager to volunteer to paramilitary training as well.

Detailed Background, One Paragraph or So (the more we can learn about you, the better): I was born a Gaul on Planet Amiens, in an aristocratic family. For some reason (my father would never tell me, but this was clearly about politics), my family was forced into exile from Gallia around 818 and we had to seek asylum in Bretonia. New Londoners were surprisingly tolerant towards us, considering that we came from an enemy war-mongering nation. Once the language barrier was overcome, I studied zoology there and then on Cambridge. As a student, I was known to be very pro-science on the campus, which led me to clash with caricatural luddite crypto-Gaian environmentalists on various occasions. Anyway, this leads us to the year 824, in which I graduated, I was made a Bretonian citizen and I started to work as a researcher for Planetform, both on the ground and aboard research vessels. Empowering mankind to bend nature to our will was truly a fascinating experience, science at its finest - all it was always meant for. But I still feel I'm not doing enough. I wish to push it further, through the next frontier. My resignation letter is ready and will be sent to Canterbury as soon as I hear from you.
Why do you want to join The Core/APM?: I strongly believe that the next chapter in human history is synthetic evolution - the enhancement of human matter - and that the last one will be immortality - its perfection. Only the Core seems to be aware of that, only the Core has the necessary mindset and assets to spearhead those efforts. I am also interested in research on Nauru native wildlife with possible applications to experimental communication systems.

OoRP Form How long have you been playing Freelancer Discovery for?: Roughly a year
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, and yes.
How familiar are you with the Edge Worlds?: Pretty familiar.
How would you rate your RP skills out of 10?: 7
How would you rate your PvP skills out of 10? What ship-types are you good in?: I'm a terrible PvPer, I hope your expectations are not too high. Perhaps 3 in fighters and bombers, 5 in freighters, transports and gunboats.
Why do you want to join the The Core?: The concept of a ruthless lawful evil faction with public glory sounds like fun. Moreover, I found the lore threads to be a very good read (Nauru, human augmentation, research on alien tech...) and I thought Nauru would be a nice spot for Sadi and APM a natural step up. I'd like to develop this character in this whole Imperium Omicronis context. Hope I can write interesting RP stories for him as well.
