All questions below must be answered, in order for your application to be considered.

Have you ever piloted a fighter craft and/or a bomber?

Yes. After sustaining injuries on a mission during my time in the Marine Corps which impaired my ability to ruck march the extreme distances required by that service I was selected for retention and transfer to the Liberty Navy pilot corps. I would describe myself as an average combat pilot.

Why are you interested in joining the LSF?

I joined the Marine Corps for a challenge. When I sustained my injury and transferred to the Navy as a pilot I was made aware of the mental challenges of flying in deep space. While I am now fit enough to return to the Marine Corps should I desire it my time in the Navy has led me to realize there is more to challenge me than physical demands. The LSF seems to be the ultimate challenge: make decisions of extreme importance to Liberty often on solo operations. I think I have what it takes.

Do you have a criminal record, or have been in trouble with the Liberty law? If so, for what reasons?

No. I have no criminal convictions or service offences on record.

Do you have any skills, competences and/or personality traits that could be useful towards the LSF?

I am a perceptive and intelligent observer as the result of my time in Marine Corps reconnaissance. I was also trained in the Marines as a Tactical Questioner - a first line interrogator to determine the relative worth of a prisoner for the intelligence process. On several ocassions I have briefed senior staff on missions and reconnaissance data. In addition, both my time in the Corps and the Navy has given me the skills to operate with minimal supervision in both small teams as a leader and follower.

Tell us about yourself, that wasn't already put on the application so far. (//short bio of the character, minimum 2-3 lines)

I joined the military to better myself and see the Sirius Sector. During that time, both the Marine Corps and the Navy have given me the opportunity to do just that. I have taken academic courses from West Point Academy and possess an Honours Degree in Sociology as well as qualifications in intelligence analysis and briefing.

If this application is approved, you will be put in our AIT (agent in training) course for two weeks, where we will determine if you're fit to be a agent in the LSF.

What should an LSF member do (Tasks, RP style, etc)?

The Liberty Security Force represents an armed intelligence agency which could be described as a combination of the CIA/FBI. Consider other analogies to the KGB and Mossad. It is not the job of the LSF to engage the enemies of Liberty but rather to ensure the safety of the house through intelligence gathering. Who? What? When? Where? Why? How? The LSF seeks out threats in the near, medium, and long term in order to best prepare Liberty to defend against them. This would be shown on server by reconnaissance missions, questioning/interrogating witnesses/subjects, and undertakening planned (directed by faction leadership) strikes against enemy soft targets behind enemy lines.

Have you read AND understood the server rules of discovery?

Yes.

Then explain why the following rules are important:
3.1: We're all here because this is fun. Its important that no matter what is happening in character that out of character we are friendly to promote the best community possible.
3.3: This is an RP server, we are all here because we think roleplaying in the Freelancer universe is fun. OOC in system chat ruins the immersive experience for everyone.
3.4: Administrators and the sanctioning system are here to protect everyone's fun. By violating this rule it undermines the authority of the admins to protect us.
5.2: Combat is a major part of this game but is a tool to facilitate interesting roleplaying rather than an end unto itself. A lot more context and fun can be had by interacting with the chat system as opposed to the combat system.
5.6 to 5.8: PVP death rules are needed to have some consequence to dying. Otherwise, the believability of RP would be greatly impacted.

Have you ever been sanctioned or banned for violating a server rule in the last 6 months? please provide links to the threads if so.

No.

On a scale from 1-10 how would you rate your in-game Role-playing skills?

7-8. I have a lot of roleplaying experience in other media (other video games, tabletop, play by post, etc) and am getting back accustomed to how things work in Freelancer.
