Biography: My childhood was relatively, uneventful, aside from my father dieing when I was only a young boy. He worked for Ageira, and was hauling white boxes when he was attacked by a group of unlawfuls. We still don't know who it was, as the case remains open.
My mother was a tough woman, who raised my sister and I by herself. She passed on when I was 19, and I found myself drifting with no real direction.
I've always wanted to fly, ever since I was a little boy and I would watch my father take off in his personal snubcraft to head for Pueblo.
I decided to take a job as the captain of a small freighter, shipping food and medical supplies to Barrier Gate Station. One afternoon, after losing our way in the Barrier Cloud due to scanner malfunctions, we came upon a lone fighter. They said they flew for the Colonial Republic. I was intrigued. I began researching all I could find out about this house, where people were offered a fresh start.
I found that they were in good standing with Liberty. Knowing I wouldn't lose access to my extended family on Denver, and knowing I would likely never be accepted into the ranks of the Liberty Navy due to my failing to apply at a young enough age for the academy, I was convinced that this would be the outfit that would allow me to, someday, avenge my father's death, and become my own man.
I've wanted to fly fighters ever since I saw my first escort out of Denver....the ships were so graceful, fast, agile....everything my Rhino wasn't.
So, I am applying for the Colonial Republic military. It may be my last chance to prove to myself that I'm more than just a freighter pilot.
Relevant Experience: I've been the captain of The Agares for 11 years now, since I was 20 years old. I've spent most of that time flying between Barrier Gate Station, and the heart of Liberty. I have no fighter experience per se, but I know my Rhino has guns, as I've had to use them on at least 3 occassions over the years. All 3 times, I barely escaped with my life. However, I'm an able pilot who is eager to learn more.
Your reasons for applying to the Military: I'm a fighter pilot trapped in a Rhino. I want more out of this life.
