[Evo]

Name: Benjamin Pope
Age: 29
Birthplace: Battleship Essex, Dublin
Biography: Born to parents with little material wealth, nomads you could call them, Benjamin had to live off a small amount of money. (And no, these are not the squid nomads.) Their nomadic nature shows simply in his birth place. His mother started going into labor a few klicks off of the battleship, on their way to check out a distant scrap field halfway across Sirius. Luckily, they agreed to let the baby be born on their ship regardless of the security risk. During his childhood he spent most of his time collecting scrap with his father, although they weren't junkers. They did just about everything. Scrap collection, toxic waste disposal if they really needed money, and various odd jobs like artwork, sculptures and furniture.

His mother was the imaginative one, she did many of the paintings they sold to live on. That was about the steadiest income they had to their name. Scrap fields were dangerous to enter because of unlawfuls and junkers seeing them as poachers of sorts. His father did some of the more sketchy things they did for money. Securing toxic waste just to dump it somewhere else unsafely, his employers weren't any the wiser. He also stole when we were dangerously close to going under the red line, anything was better to him than going into debt.

Benjamin followed in both their footsteps, in a somewhat darker merging. He merges creativity and minor unlawful actions in a way that it's hard to catch him. For example, a luxury liner is set to pick up a shipment of food for their passengers. Benjamin beats them to it, slapping a time-release contaminant on it to be sure it goes off when in the cargo hold to set off alarms. He conveniently arrives on the scene to save the day from those nasty contaminants and boost as many valuables as he can in addition.

His line of morality is "50 Shades of Grey" you could say. He soon got tired of doing petty thievery to get by, even if he was really good at it. Tired of fighting constantly to maintain his lifestyle for 29 years. Maybe it was time for something different. He'd heard militaries gave the opportunity to see Sirius. He was a hard worker, there wasn't an issue with that. But House militaries seemed too.. boring. Too generic, like a glorified police officer.

Relevant Experience: Hard worker, no stranger to being alone in the fire. Lots of experience working through hardships and pressure.
Your reasons for applying to the Military: An adventure, it doesn't matter how hard it is.
