Where I come from: I come from the rust-bucket station of Freeport - 9. Born and raised. When I was 13, my father took me out on test flights in one of his prized fighters, and ever since then, I've wanted to go and explore never before seen systems and planets, and be the explorer everyone told stories about. The explorer that found a home for the Phoenix. Of course, that dream was short-lived, instead of finding a new system, I found the importance of community, and friendship. The thirst for adventure still lives inside of me, but I search for a home as well, now. My father died a few years ago, and he was the only family I had, besides one of my aunts and a half-cousin that insists on calling me matty. However, he probably did it to himself. He was a bounty-hunter, the old fool. Always making people angry. Heh. I'll never forget him...
Why I want to join: I think I pretty much already explained that, now didn't I? Oh, fine, you must be hard of hearing, or something. I'm searching for a new home, and people I can call family. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go read for a few hours and fall asleep. *Grins*
(I do not make use of this... Skypenet... as you call it. I will be more inclined to speak to you via PM. You said you accept almost anyone, and I surely do hope that this minor inconvenience does not make you decline my request to join.)
