InRP Form Pilot Name: Ramesses al-Rashid Pilot Age: 36 Pilot Region, House or Location of Origin: Planet Gran Canaria, Omega-49, Edge Worlds (Supposedly) Are You Applying for The Core Paramilitary, or our AP Manufacturing Sub-Divison?: The Core Paramilitary Previous Jobs/Roles/Experience: Freighter deckhand, Freeport 11 security officer and administrative aide, mercenary, miner Detailed Background, One Paragraph or So (the more we can learn about you, the better): My story begins on that planet in orbit of that blue sun in the Omega-49 system. Planet Gran Canaria was the place I came to know best during my formative years, receiving a humble upbringing from my adoptive parents, Josiah and Elizabeth Brown. Although I never knew my biological parents, they left my name with me at the doorstep of these fine folks who took me in. Despite loving me greatly, out of respect for my biological mother and father, the Browns insisted I keep my original name and perhaps find them someday. I have yet to do so, but it bothers me little. After receiving a modest education, I signed on with a small Zoner freighter crew to earn some money on my own. It was aboard this vessel and on Planet Gran Canaria that I saw the exploitation of the populace of the Edge Worlds by raiders and vagrants that plagued the region. Corsairs, Outcasts, Mollys, Coalitioners, Red Hessians, and others all abused the civilian population to support their own irresponsibly-managed operations. It was disgusting to see how they tread all over those generous enough to give their homes up for only a little bit of gratitude in return. Those charitable souls received only cruelty because of that sacrifice for who they thought were their fellow man. As I continued to journey through the Edge Worlds, I felt angry at myself for not working to stop such wanton pillaging. I eventually found myself settling down in the Omicron Delta system. I made a living for myself aboard Freeport 11 by breaking up the bar brawls and ensuring the safety of all aboard as a security officer. It was far from glamorous, having to lower myself to keeping drunkards from killing myself. After some time, I proved able enough to assist with bookkeeping, and helped the administration run the base. Receiving little income to support myself, I soon enlisted as a mercenary on a number of escort missions with a rented fighter I took out from the piles of junk moored at the Freeport. My efforts only secured a couple of lives from harm, and after a few years, I left the profession, dissatisfied with my work. After some years, I found myself on Planet Nauru, attempting to eke out a minor living from the iridium mines. I figured that this planet would be safe from the bands of raiders that plagued space. The Corsair presence on the planet reminded me that even in the sands of Nauru, chaos was still the government form humanity lived by. I oftentimes was forced to take up arms to defend our encampments from Corsair bandits as we engaged in the dangerous iridium extraction operations so commonplace on Nauru. When The Core came to establish their dominance over Nauru, I saw a force that sought to bring order to this anarchy-ridden wasteland. The Nomads may plague our transports occasionally, but the true evil of the Omicrons, born from humanity, is one The Core actually eliminated from the face of Nauru with their destruction of the Corsairs. I feel compelled to contribute to the establishment of a society in the Omicrons where the rule of law is king, and have come to a recruiting station today to make my mark on the organization which now governs this desert planet. Why do you want to join The Core/APM?: The various acts The Core has committed in the name of their goals is no secret to anyone who has lived in these parts. I will not be lured in by the ideological tenets presented by the posters and brochures I have found spread across the sector. Instead, I recognize the Core for what it truly is: A powerful organization that will stop at nothing to bring law and order to the Edge Worlds, regardless of what the cost may be. The Order neglects the populace of the sector by solely focusing on the Nomads. They fail to realize that much of the suffering can also be attributed to rogue groups like the Corsairs and Outcasts. Their oversimplification of our plight is insulting and useless. The Omicrons are better off without them. As a member of The Core, I shall uphold the civic virtues upon which peace and prosperity will be founded in this sector. And nothing shall get in my way.
