Name: James "Backfire" Vail Age: 25 (798 A.S.) Birthplace: Barrier Gate Station Biography: Spending much of his youth as a second pilot to his father, Andrew Vail, on a trader vessel "Apophis", James eventually became a mercenary, fighting for causes he didn't believe in, and reasons he never truly understood. During that time he earned his rather unfortunate callsign when, on what was supposed to be an average escort mission, he, outnumbered and outgunned, distracted two Outcasts long enough for their rather liberal usage of Nuclear Mines to, ehmmm, dramatically "backfire" on them. However, soon the arrival of House Gallia changed everything. Many times James had run-ins with Gallic Royal Crown pursuing independent traders delivering supplies to Tau-44 and Leeds. Outraged at the loss of life of honest men much like his own father at the hands of Gallic Royal Navy and fed up with the life of a mercenary, he turned his gaze towards the Colonial Republic, which arrived during his childhood and was forced to resettle into Coronado by his sworn enemies. Bitter at the treatment of Freelancers and Crayterians alike at the hands of Sirius at large (and moreso Gauls), he realised that something that he was looking for all along (justice and vengeance against those for whom a life of an average man was nothing) now wasn't that far from his birthplace. Realising this, James capitalized on the rights given to him by the Section 5 of the first Article of the Laws of Crayter Republic, and pledged his life and experience to the most humane faction he came to know in the cold and unforgiving Sirius Sector. Relevant Experience: Just what about what your average freelancer pilot sees these days, piloting fighters, bombers and transports. Your reasons for applying to the Military: Protecting the people of Coronado, and fighting the cruelty of Gallic Crown and Maltese Nation whenever possible.

Biography:
Born in a middle-low class area of Planet Denver, John had been aware of the many dangers that existed around the sector: Pirates, outlaws, terrorists and unfettered rebels plagued the stars, threatening not only anyone who just happened to get close to them, but sometimes hunting down innocents to further their own desires.
He joined the LPI, seeking to help stop these harmful elements, however, his time was spent mostly as a desk jockey, and during work the organization was filled with unpleasant surprises: He founds his surroundings filled with corrupted officers, going from those who ignored criminal reports to those who actually were supporters of criminal factions infiltrated in the law enforcement organization. Despiste several attempts John made from his position to undermine these individuals, he left the organization, bough himself a personal ship, and began to work as an escort for traders of different banners.
During one of his scouting runs for a convoy, he ran into a pack of raiders, who immediately attempted to attack him. He held out for a while, until another party joined in. A Crayterian Military patrol spotted the fight and jumped in to stop the pirates, who were quickly overwhelmed and neutralized, saving John and two fellow scouts, who had taken considerable damage. After this event, John became curious about who the crayterians were, and began to investigate; he did not only find out that they were an independent party from the houses, desiring to simply establish themselves; but that they had the same enemies as him, such as the outcasts, rogues, and other pirates; he also learned about more dangers in Sirius than just pirates: The Gallic Kingdom, with its tyranical rule and conquest campaigns, proved itself a threat that John was willing to help stop.
Relevant Experience: Having been part of the LPI, John flied a few sorties; but he experienced a lot more action as an escort, scouting ahead, surpressing ships attacking the transports. His nickname, "Shocker", comes from his repeated sudden, ferocious all-out attacks on raiding pirates whn he reinforced allies, taking by surprise both his escorts and outlaws. John is familiarized to Hit-and-run attacks as part of his scouting skills, making brief but strong strikes against hostiles.
Your reasons for applying to the Military:
The Crayter Republic's goals are simple, but its obstacles not only endanger the Republic, but harm other people of Sirius. Pirates, outlaws, terrorists, unfettered rebels were joined now by tyrants and their supporters; The Crayterian Military's enemies weren't only Crayter's, and stopping them wouldn't only help the Republic find its way out of strife, but the rest of Sirius as well.
1) How long have you been on Discovery?
Restarted playing in August, 7 months.
2) What characters and ships have you had thus far?
An FL with all snub classes (Except freighter, but it had one for a while), IMG, SCRA, and several indies (LN, BHG, Corsair, Zoner some pirates, etc.)
3) How often do you normally play/come online for?
Depends, the frequency is irregular depending on time, most of the time come online for PVP interactions or other gameplay-related events, but also for RP elements of interest.
Following a proper inspection of your application and the interview in which we spoke, we've found you fitting to join the Crayter Uniformed Forces and fly alongside our officers. You are hereby accepted as a Warrant Officer. You'd best find the quarter-master to get the keys for a ship and begin your activity.
I look forward to seeing you having a good hunt against the enemies of Sirius.
Biography: I was born in one of the earliest Liberty controlled settlements on Erie. When I was only about six years old, my father got a job in a minor insurance company on Manhattan and my family had to move. By the time I became a teenager, my father had already gathered more than enough funds to be able to send me to any college I wanted. Despite the fact that I was under a huge pressure from the family to go a medical, or any other school that didn't involve space flight, I ultimately decided to go to West Point military academy and pursue the career of a navy pilot, or alternatively, a freelancer exploring Sirius. All in all, the process of training in the academy wasn't easy but proved worthy in the end.
As the time for graduation was approaching, my opinion on being a navy pilot was slowly shifting and I started leaning more towards the freelancer side. After all those years of schooling and listening to other people, it is only a matter of time before one decides he's had enough and starts desperately seeking freedom, as did I. Before I knew it, I was done with the academy and got a ship as a gift from my family. It wasn't anything special - a standard civilian fighter, but it was more than enough and certainly more than I hoped for, considering my family's disapproval of the career I was pursuing.
After years of exploring and taking any jobs that fell into my hands, I was beginning to realize that I might have made a mistake and that freelancing wasn't the life I wanted. I've always been passionate about everything I do, but not about this. The never-stopping Gallic advancement is a big issue in my eyes, and it needs to be dealt with, whatever means necessary. This is why I'm here, hoping to become a part of something much greater than me.
Relevant Experience: As already mentioned in my biography, I've spent around half a decade working as a gun for hire.
Your Reasons for Applying to the Military: Our side needs more help in the war against Gallia, and I'm willing to offer mine and fully commit to it. Plus, the Crayter Republic is fighting for a good cause and its people have already suffered enough.
//OoRP Section:
1) How long have you been on Discovery?
Around 5 years.
2) What characters and ships have you had thus far?
Way too many to remember.
3) How often do you normally play/come online for?
I've got pretty much nothing going on in my life right now, so I'm around very frequently.
You're not the first mercenary who applies for our uniformed forces. I am honestly a bit surprised to see you didn't just turn to the Liberty Navy, but I myself am a former Bretonian so I imagine you have your reasons to preferring a new beginning.
Nevertheless, we've reviewed your application and found nothing if not a clear record, so without further ado, I hereby welcome you, as a Warrant Officer, within the Crayter Uniformed Forces. Present yourself to the quarter-master to get your gear and you'll be briefed on everything you need to know.
I look forward to seeing you fly with us.
Biography: Misty Blaze was born on the sleeper ship Orion in a middle class family. Her father was a Crayter mover, basically to get enough money to supply the family with food and all other necessery things to make a mediocre living. Misty's mother, was a housewife. Misty was 15 years old when she was finally on the her first trip on a transport, together with her father. During the trip, her father teached Misty all things regarding the trade, finance and escort duties. Her fathers dream was that Misty would one day take the command of an trade vessel. However, Misty was never into flying large vessels, she always preferred to be in a small vessel, where she could be alone. She did not like to deal with too many people. Since her childhood she had always been shy and restrained. It probably had something to do in the place where she was born and reared. Nevertheless, Misty had always an interest in the escort duties that were practised on each convoy. Hence, on her 18th birthday, she was, for her first time, on an escort vessel as birthday gift from her father. She was assigned to a small wing, where she was ordered to follow the leader on the escort. The leader of the escort wing was impressed of Misty's abilities and offered her a permanent work in the convoy as an escort member. Misty did not hesitate and accepted this offer and was since then an member of the security wing for the organization. Her father was slightly disappointed that Misty did not follow the footsteps of her father. But he was glad that Misty had success in her life and found something that she wanted and liked.
After several years, Misty decided to try something else. Her current job was too repetitive and boring. She quit her job as escort member and looked out for new possible jobs. She wanted to protect people from any possible threat. Simple put, she was looking out for a job, that would give her more opportunities to serve her people. Searching in the ads, something had caught her attention while she was looking through them. A job, offering exactly the things she was looking for. The Crayterian Military.

Name: Dr Rio Umeda
Age: 29
Birthplace: Planet Curacao, Cortez
Biography: As you may have read above, I was born on Curacao. My parents were taking a vacation there, even though my mother was highly pregnant. My father was joking later on that I wanted to enjoy the exclusive resort there at least for some days as well and hurried more than expected from the doctor who took care of my mother before their holidays. We returned to Planet New Tokyo where I grew up, raised by my parents and grandparents.
Our family was quite wealthy, even though we stayed civilian and never joined a Kusarian faction, or any other faction in Sirius. When I became a teenager, my grandparents passed away. What gave me the way for my future was the disease my beloved grandfather suffered from. He passed away because of a wrong treatment from a so called expert. After this incident I started to study and became a doctor for human medicine.
So far my life passed on rather calm and relaxed. I was good in my job and finished my studies with the best grades. Even better in the eyes of my parents was that I found a good man and that we decided to get engaged. After the announcement of my engagement my parents died in a horrific accident, there was nothing I could do to safe their lives. And the gods decided that the loss I experienced wasn't enough… On the day after their funeral I found my fiancé in our bed, betraying me with his new secretary.
That moment on the day I had to say farewell to my parents was too much for me and I quit our engagement and my job. I sold the house my family lived in to buy a small fighter and decide what to do with my future. I travelled a bit as a civilian doctor, never staying long somewhere or getting close with those I met. On Freeport 4 I heard of your group, or rather republic. And the words your men and women connect with your nation.
Since I feel left behind from everybody I once loved and cared for, they sounded like magic to me and eased the tight grasp that I feel on my heart, so that I can breath a bit better again. Call me a dreamer but I hope that I might be able to find a new life in your republic, with the chance to become the woman I was before I lost everything that mattered to me.
Relevant Experience: I learned to fly and… well if you can call it that way fight. To be true, I’m a far better doctor than fighter pilot. So I hope I can return to what I am really good in.
Your reasons for applying to the Military: I'm not sure if I should join the actual Military, but „For those we left behind“ touched something inside my soul. And the idea of coming to you became bigger and bigger up until I wasn't able anymore to ignore it. That is why I, as the doctor I am, apply.

1) How long have you been on Discovery? Three years more or less
2) What characters and ships have you had thus far? Some indies spread over Sirius and Order ships
3) How often do you normally play/come online for? I’m a girl, so it depends on my mood quite much. If I feel like it I play everyday or if I don’t feel like it some days in a row not at all. But I check the forums daily as long as I'm not on holidays.
