Your Name: The Honorable Bartholomew Bates, Esquire.

Your Age: Thirty-seven and counting.

Where are you from?: Bretonia proper, born and raised New Londoner.

Previous Jobs/Roles/Experience: Used to work for the bounty hunters as a lawyer and.. cleanup guy. Learned of the Core. Drew my conclusion.

Detailed Background, a Paragraph (the more we can learn about you, the better):

Childhood, adolescence, adulthood. Such a simple sequence, yet many, if not most people experience serious trouble somewhere in between. Not so Mr. Bates, scion of a minor yet wealthy noble family. Grocery stores across the planet, that's the Bates' territory. Compared to the vast opportunities in space, a planetside corporation is exceedingly boring for a silver spooned young man with wilder ambitions. After law school, Bartholomew set out to Sheffield station and joined the bounty hunters' legal division. They were always looking for new recruits, and this one seemed rather eager to take to their particular line of work. Suffice it to say, eventually mr. Bates was selected for 'other work' that also required spaceflight. Unfortunately, the details of these jobs must remain classified and non-disclosed. Upon hearing of the Core and their operations in Omicron, mr. Bates was delighted. The creation of a new empire in the reaches of Sirius, on its very Edge, would be a worthwhile investment as life's work. Jumping in a Manta, mr. Bates took off to the Omicrons, to find the fabled Omicron Rho and its shipyard. There we are. As long as we can remain polite about it.

Why do you want to join The Core?: The Core is a calling. Omicronia must be realized.

How long have you been playing Freelancer Discovery for?: Recently returned to a whole new discovery after a year's hiatus. I used to fly with the LSF, Labrise(Corse family), corsairs and some oddball random factions.

Have you ever played a Core character before? Have you read the lore of The Core? Do you know what The Core is?: This would be my first Core character. I've read most there is to read about the organisation, and see the bigger goal.

How familiar are you with the Edge Worlds?: I'm getting to know them; was never that keen on Nomad space but that perspective is changing. I know my way around the 'Core' systems.

How would you rate your RP skills out of 10?: At least 8, I've RP'ed since DnD 3ed edition. Currently GM'ing Wh40K Rogue trader.

How would you rate your PvP skills out of 10? What ship-types are you good in?: Err.. 4? None? Though I feel I prefer gunboats as a good compromise.

Why do you want to join the The Core?: Omicronia. It needs a polite yet excruciatingly frustrating legal system.

Do you already own a Core ship? If yes, what ship(s) is it?: Currently mr. Bates is in possession of a fine 'Orca' class Core gunboat.

What Country and/or Time Zone do you operate in?: I operate in the GMT +1 timezone.

Finally, what is your Skype?: Mr. Bates' Skyp3 protocols are known to the organisation.

Kind regards,

Bartholomew Bates, Esquire.
