I. Personal Information
Your name and surname:
・(former) Admiral John Redmond, Battlefleet York (I regret that I did not go down with her)
Age:
・38
Region, House or Location of Origin:
・Planet Leeds, Kingdom of Bretonia
Are you are Bretonian Citizen?:
・Yes
Any useful experience and qualifications:
・A career officer trained from youth, albeit with a low born background, served with distinction during the Tau war with Kusari, primarily after Holman fell to Nagasaki up until the final engagements near Stokes, primarily a Templar pilot, credited with a considerable confirmed kill count against Kusari, Corsair and CR opposition. Capital ship experience with the HMS Repulse and HMS Majestic, a Crecy and Dunkirk respectively, though not as proficient compared to very heavy fighter piloting.
Motivation for joining the Bretonia Armed Forces:
・During the invasion of Planet Leeds, after relinquishing command of the York, I joined the land based resistance and have been fighting planet side for the majority of my time. Now, I can see the only way of stopping the subjection of Leeds from completion is to resolve the war in our favor, and that necessitates my return to the spacial theater, and under BAF command once more. Happy to take a lower rank due to extended absence and the entry of new blood, more of a hands on type so a lower rank is likely perhaps more fitting too.
Short biography:
・John Redmond, born on Leeds to common parentage, was encouraged to rise up the social ladder by attaining patronage for officer training, this was granted by a local businessman and John joined the officer academy as a result. Excelled due to a very strong sense of motivation and a talent for fighters, he saw a quick rise up in the pecking order.
The Tau war saw John dropped into a full blown war with a foe that utilized unique technology and tactics uncommon in Bretonia, his efforts saw him rise to Admiral of the front facing York Battlegroup, whose efforts and those of other BAF battlegroups saw the Kusari's fought to a standstill near Leeds when Gallia quickly surprised both houses and commenced the invasion of the Planet. Due to personal connection to the planet, John opted to stay behind as part of the defense forces, the invasion saw many friends and family lost and had a deep impact on John emotionally.

Do you agree to always be fair, considerate of other players and not to take inRP hostilities with characters to an ooRP level?
Yes.
What is your ooRP reason for joining the Bretonia Armed Forces?
The BAF was my first faction, and I joined as a founding member (before this recruiting thread existed and we were official) under Dieter and co, Bretonia is my favorite house and the Templar my favorite ship, I do not know if I can put in a huge amount of hours due to time zones and life commitments, but I feel it better to at least have the time I can log in contribute to the overall faction activity.
Can you fund your ship and equipment? The BAF| can provide you with limited credits or equipment if you can not.
Yes I can indeed, I have a non-tagged BAF character, a Templar and a Havok Mk2 and would rather they simply be renamed. I am considering purchasing capitals as my high ping may make snubs less enjoyable.
Are you are aware that your character must be a Bretonian Citizen in order to be accepted?
Yes
