Name: Tiberius MacShift Gender: Male Age: 45 Birthplace: Kyoto Previous Occupation(s): NovaPG Frontline Fighter
Biography: Tiberius MacShift was born to the unlikely partnership of a Libertonian and a Rheinlander on Kyoto. These two individuals were actually visiting the station as part of a motley crew of transports and freighters supplying the Blood Dragon movement. Unfortunately, the freighter they were travelling on was destroyed, but it wasn't at the loss of their own lives as the escorting Blood Dragons beat back the Kusari State Police long enough for the remainder of the fleet to rescue and escape the situation.
Due to the lack of transports and ability to leave Kyoto, especially once they had arrived and been treated beyond the physical points on the station where foreigners were not supposed to go, this Liberty-Rheinland union eventually produced offspring. Combining the names of both parents in an ad-hoc way, the child was named Tiberius MacShift. In hindsight, this was a poor choice as both his features and his name made him stick out like a sore thumb in a station full of pure-blooded conservatives.
Nevertheless, with the rise of the NovaPG and in particular, their leader, Intoxication, who was of Rheinland origin, Tiberius saw his chance to prove himself with more than just his cooking skills as a chef. Thus, he joined up, and was led on a short but successful campaign, seeing action with the likes of Adixu, Die Hard and Maniac.
Now disenfranchised with the appalling state of progress regarding the Blood Dragon movement, he has turned to other rebellious movements to try to make a difference in the Sirius Sector.
Reasons for joining us: I was born into a hopeless cause and I don't like that. The Blood Dragons have been fighting their government for over a hundred years. With the fall of the NovaPG and the disappearance of the Kana Keiko, my estimate is that the Blood Dragons are now further than ever from their goal. This is compounded by the fall of the Empire, rise of the Republic, and now the anarchy of civil war that characterises Kusari. If anything, these activities have sidelined the Blood Dragons and their cause, rather than strengthened them.
If I'm going to be fighting for freedom, I'd like to be fighting for a cause that is well-funded, supplied, organised and armed. Right now, I'm sorry to say, that's not the Blood Dragons. It is, however, the Hellfire Legion.
Kusari is not close to my heart. If my name doesn't tell you that, then I'm not sure what does. I am an ideological crusader, and having taken some time out to pursue my own interests, I am once again ready to take to the skies. Whose freedom I fight for is neither here nor there for me, as long as I feel that it is a cause worth fighting for.
Beating my head against a brick wall isn't my style. That's why I'm here.
***OOC PART OF APPLICATION***
Have you ever been sanctioned? If so, what for? Do you feel you've learnt your lesson from that?
Yes, re-engaging once. The ship [TBH]Cazadora , an old Corsair cruiser, had just died in Omicron Gamma. I did not know this, and as the person flying it logged off, I logged on to it seconds after and continued the engagement.
The ship had 500 million credits zeroed off of it.
Aside from that, I do not recall ever being sanctioned.
And yes, always check if shared ships have died before flying them. That was the lesson that I learned.
