=LSF= Recruitment

[Luke.]

((IC Information))

• Name: Lucas Payne
  
• Age: 28
  
• Gender: Male
  
• Place of Birth: Planet Houston, Texas
  
• Skills: Fighter Class asset, persuasion, confusing small minds and academically sound. Period of Judo training at a younger age.
  
• Previous Jobs: Policing, mainly in New York. Short stint of Navy training and therefore knowledgeable in following protocol. Started at the bottom of a Fast Food Chain when I was younger, gained a lot of knowledge around procedural action and social interaction.
  
• Law enforcement, Military and/or Para-military History: As mentioned, I have experience in both Law Enforcement and the Navy, though this was Secondary Fleet, I never took the time to try and take it to the top. I'm my own man with my own mission when orders aren't coming from anywhere else. That's not to say i'm not loyal, though. Quite the opposite when it comes to worthwhile goals, such as the LSF's. Wouldn't be here, otherwise.
  

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, both. Extensive training in fighter craft, especially the "Guardian". Always room for improvement, though.

Why are you interested in joining the LSF?

Due to stunting myself at Secondary Fleet employment, I need a new direction. A new goal, new orders and new people. I realise the risks and the fact that I may not always flying with assistance...that's the biggest difference from the Navy. I like flying alone though, means I get to do my own thing within reason. There's no use in performing a mission to the book, the book doesn't cover every scenario.

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

Despite my attitude getting a bit aggressive on occasion, it was seen as something that could be worked around and used in certain persuasive missions. So, no.

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

My lack of empathy for those that may be targeted both in social and mission situations means that you don't have to worry about a lack of confidence. If I have the end goal in mind, I'll do whatever it takes. Call it reckless but I promise you, I know how to follow orders. My skills in fighter craft are also "above average" so to speak. I'm not afraid of the human or even alien obstacle.

Tell us about yourself, that wasn't already put on the application so far. (//short bio of the character, minimum 2 paragraphs of 5 lines each)

Well, believe what you want from reading the previous parts of this but I am in fact a family man. I have two children back home and I do what I can to go see them. However, it was last year that I divorced my ex-wife, Allana, partly due to my job change from Law enforcement to the Navy. It meant I was always far away and she just didn't trust me. It was no easy feat and obviously the whole custody thing wasn't the smoothest ride I've been on. Despite this, it's just motivation to fly better, work harder and best myself at everything I do and for those I work for. Who knows, one day I might see her in space. That'll be a laugh.

Besides the family history, there's not a lot to say. Again, I had a good education, even though it meant I had to change paths a couple of times to get what I wanted out of it. Information Technology was my forte and hell, it helps wherever I go. Was always helping friends out with that kind of stuff. Speaking of which, believe it or not I have friends too. I got a bit of humour in me, as dry as it is quite a lot of the time but hey, it makes people laugh and even makes them feel better about themselves. Heh. All the rest is tiny details that you'll probably pull out of me if anyone gets to know me.

If this application is approved, you will be put in our AIT (Agent in Training) course under supervision of the Department of Homeland Security. At the end of it you will be evaluated and accepted if you're considered suitable for LSF daily operations.

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

Carry out tasks base on their role, keeping in mind the hierarchy that exists and not being an idiot for the sake of causing trouble. Stick to ZoI's, Diplomacy etc. Defeats the point of being in the faction if you're going to act like you're a clueless independent. RP style needs to stick to the characters profile but remain professional due to the factions lore and goals. Obviously, as an official faction member it also means you're responsible for your actions and they could lead to dismissal if abused. Questions may be asked by newer and likely independent members as you are tagged and therefore trusted.

Have you read AND understood the server rules of discovery?

Yes

Then explain why the following rules are important:
3.1: RP is key to a good server environment and is expected of everyone. Attacking someone with the intent of killing them without sufficient notice is boring and childish.
3.3: It's just bad sportsmanship. Fairness is something I've always tried to follow and therefore if you've got what you wanted, there's no need to rub salt in the wound.
3.4: Makes little InRP sense to come back and destroys the objective of any fight if people infinitely restock and re-engage.
5.2: No longer existent
5.6 to 5.8: No longer existent

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.

Yes. Once in the past 6 months.
1 - Link - Feel free to ask me about this one, the words used were not as aggressive as the sanction makes out. Was careless of me though, won't happen again.

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

8+

Have you read the whole =LSF= Manual?

Yes, scanned through it prior to applying. Will read again in more detail.

Terms and conditions

The =LSF= reserves the right to expel a member from the faction if his or her conduct violates server rules, forum rules, faction rules or is being detrimental to the well being of the faction, its members and/or the community. The faction also requires applicants and faction members to respect the opinions of the various players of the community and the time they have invested in their characters, RP and other projects.

Do you comply with the above terms?: Yes.

Everything else you need to know is on the Manual or you will learn during your training. READ THE LSF MANUAL.
