Background Information:
Rudolph ancestors cam from an area called "Limburg" in or near the ancient Germany. They first settled in Duesseldorf mining asteroids. They created a small mining empire in the time of the Rheinland empire but in the end where kicked out of the business during the Popular Revolution of 672 AS by revolting miners. Some family members rescued various vessels, tools and machinery and from that time on the "von Limburgs" flew from system to system like a kind of gipsies to mine where ever possible.
Rudolph never liked the mining itself but prefered flying the various vessels needed in the mining industry. When 17 years old he found an old Emperial fighter dating from the Eighty Years War and managed to bring it back to life again. One day he was caught by a RM patrol when flying this machine. The patrol leader, impressed by the way he flew, advised him to join the RM. But family duty came first so he kept mining.
When mining in Sigma-13, the little fleet got caught between the two fighting forces during the Battle of the Yanagi Nebula in 801 AS (Nomad wars). This resulted in the loss of almost the complete fleet. After some years Rudolph was compensated for the loss by the Kanzlerei. Although it was quite a fair amount of money, it would never compensate the loss of his relatives, and in particular, his wife.
He used the money to give his two sons a new start, but not in the mining industry. They did very well and in time they were able to donate their father a quite large sum of money, enough to buy him his own Wasupu.
Basic Personality Traits:
Slightly agressive and calm for the most part, totally loyal to that of the Kanzler

For how long have you been playing on Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 ? First one month solo, since 9th of September 2012 (IIRC) on Internet. But have been playing FL since the beginning but stopped some years ago. Started in June again and only ran into Discovery when looking for new mods in the beginning of August.
What made you come play on Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 ?
Roleplay perspective, fighting against real players and the number of players.
What other characters do you have on the Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 server?
Freelancer – Ruud (Wasupu), the experience gatherer
Freelancer – Commodore (Firefly), the money maker
Freelancer – Guillaume d’Orange (Wasupu), waiting already quite some time to join the Council. But if they don’t respond before you do, they loose me.
What OOC reason do you have for joining the RM?
It seems that Liberty and the RM are the only two factions that really FIGHT! And for various reasons I prefer the RM.
Some background info:
- I used to be a naval officer in the Royal Dutch Navy, serving on submarines, minesweepers and frigates. If you consider a month of Discovery experience too short, I can make it up with years of real experience.
- I speak English, French and German. Could come in handy.
Immer zur Ihren Diensten bereit und Der Kanzler sehr zugenegen,
Rudolph von Limburg
