Background summary:
Raphaël Clemenceau was born into a lower-upper class family. Never quite fitting in with the social politics his parents, along with his brothers and sisters, immersed themselves in, he made the choice to follow in his ancestor's footsteps immediately upon finishing primary schooling: he joined the military academy. Although he excelled in both his studies as well as martial prowess, he was nonetheless assigned to a backwater planetary garrison on Quillan. He yearned for more adventure and fulfillment, while his parents yearned for him to return to his home estate to take his place as part of the family business of winemaking. He loathed the prospect of becoming a vintner, and he had no taste for wine. His oldest brother, particularly, took umbrage with his refusal to comply (and possibly due to some jealousy over his brothers freedom and perceived bravery in joining the military) and drove a wedge between Raphaël and the family. Events transpired which led to an ultimatum being given: Return home now, or return home never again. Even the military pressured him to leave, as the right pockets had been lined. His refusal not only caused him to be disowned by his family, but also to be denied reenlistment with the military. Matters looked bleak indeed as Raphaël had no choice but to sign on as a merchant freighter crewman. As luck would have it, and uncle he'd never met learned of his plight... inspired by his breaking away from his family to follow his heart, his uncle (Martine Clemenceau) paid a courier to track him down and deliver a gift of goodwill, good luck, and enough credits to buy his own light fighter. From these humble beginnings, Raphaël Clemenceau has begun to make a name for himself as he takes whatever work he can get fighting on the Gallic frontier.
Motivation for joining his Majesty's Gallic Royal Navy:
Simply put, it is my duty to serve the Crown. It would be unacceptable for me to serve the Crown in any capacity less than fully comitted. I welcome the challenges of securing His Majesty's borders from all enemies foreign and domestic.
