IRP Name: Ignacio Rivera Age: 21 Height: 5'4'' Weight: 131 lbs. Biography: Was born in 804 A.S. to a father working for BMM and a mother working silver for DSE. Didn't spend much time at home with them, but what times I did spend with them were fulfilling. I've always had an unusual fascination with space, the books at 12 (I'm talking textbook thickness), models, neural net holograms. I was hooked. Went with my mother to get my license as soon as possible, and was found to have a pretty good knack for it. Applied for Navy pilot programs out at West Point, and enlisted not long after. Lived in Liberty for most of my childhood and so far throughout my adult life. What people I met on West Point and Norfolk always seemed to enjoy their work, and really seemed to like my giddy attitude (I personally blame my father). I graduated about half a year ago and hve been serving with the secondary since then. I tried applying in September, but it didn't get accepted. Now that I have some more experience, I think now's a good time to send in another application.
What's your motivation for joining our fleet?: I've had an interest in the Fifth ever since I graduated from West Point. The people, faces and notoriety of the Fifth Fleet always seemed to grab my attention, as well as the knack for getting things done. I always liked that aspect, and in an ever changing world, and the uncertainty of space, there's a never-ending need to band with people who consistently do their duty. Especially to our nation. As a freshly promoted (as of about six months ago) Ensign, I'm hoping to add my own legacy to the Fleet.
OORP What kind of experience do you have on Discovery?: Positive, with some rough edges. Been in the Fifth before, and hoping to come back with a fresh character to have some more good times.
