Where are you from?: Planet Los Angeles, California
Previous Jobs/Roles: Employee of Ageira Technologies, Taskmaster of the Vagrant Raiders, Smuggler, Scrapper
Detailed Background: Well, where do i begin... my first job was as a technician with Ageira Technologies, the main employer on the planet i was born. After a few years working there, well things got out of hand. We, me and my sister had to flee the system as we and Ageira had a... fallout. It resulted in them sending the Police and the Navy after us. We made a swift escape in our rough Liberty Gunboat that we had salvaged from a junkyard and put years of work into. She might have looked like a pile of junk, but she was stuffed with high tech Ageria components(wonder why we had a fallout...). For days we drifted around in space until we came across a band of smugglers called "the Vagrant Raiders". They took us in and in exchange we offered our services and knowledge that we gained during our years at Ageira.
The years went by, and they where good. We smuggled, roughed up Navy-brats, i even started a family of my own and both me and my sister gained the ranks of Taskmaster for our services in the Raiders.
But one day as me and my family where going on a trip to Colorado in the Raider transport "Downfall" the ship was ambushed in New York. Our two fighter-escorts where quickly destroyed without warning by the Navy Dreadnought that showed up from nowhere. Then the Dreadnought turned its sights onto the Downfall, and blasted away.
I rushed my family to the escape-pods, and just as our pods where about to launch, a Razor hit the hull, ripping my wifes, daughters and sons pods to shreds. My pod was launched out into space as i was screaming my guts out... the Downfall was lost.
The Dreadnought left, thinking that they finished everyone off. I was paralyzed and in chock. As the oxygen was draining, darkness came... i was falling into oblivion... I was reported M.I.A in the Raiders. But then a Junker Salvage Frigate, Rusty Nail came across the wreck. They tractor-ed me in and brought me to Rochester Base. As i got onto Rochester, i made my way to the bar. And there i started a drinking frenzy burning all credits i had left.
Four months later the Rusty Nail returned to Rochester. The captain Mr. Roth entered the bar for a drink. He spotted me sitting in a dark corner spinning my last credit on the table. He asked if he could sit down, and before i had the time to say no, he did. He asked me if i would like to join his crew, saying that he saw potential in me. I promptly said "No". Then he asked me if this is what i thought my family would have wanted for me, to be sobbing in some bar like a parasite. I got enraged by the mentioning of my family, i took a swing at him(which was not even close) and missed. He hit me with a right hook and decked me.
After a couple of minutes i came to and again he asked, "Will you join my crew?". I answered "Well what the hell, its not like i got anything else lined up". I joined the crew of the Rusty Nail and flew around space scrapping and picking up a smuggling contract now and then. I worked my way up to second in command and when Mr. Roth at the age of 68 passed away in cancer due to the extensive radiation exposure he suffered in previous ships with inadequate shielding the command was passed over to me.
Mr. Roth had his contact networks and some of them were reluctant to deal with others then him. So now me and my crew are looking for somewhere to belong. And i do hope we belong with the Marauders.
Why do you want to join the Junker Marauders? What can you bring to JM?: Well my extensive background as i have described in war and smuggling would be an asset to the Marauders. Put me in the cockpit of a fighter or a bomber, it might have been awhile, but it's like riding a bike. You might be a bit rusty but you never forget how to.
