Name: Kalle Niska Date of Birth (Age): 23.09.774 (52) Place of Birth: Freeport 2 Gender: Male Previous occupation(s): Mechanic, Shipgrade-Weapons Manufacturer, Arms Smuggler. Are you already a member of the Syndicliga, LWB, or Unioners?: The straight answer would be no, but I've always considered myself to be a Unioner in spirit.
Short Biography: I was born on Freeport 2 and I've lived on Freeport 2 for as long as I can remember, a true belter through and through. In short, my family were Unioners. My mother came to the Freeport to raise me somewhere 'safe'.
For years now I've been a mechanic, dad's fault. If it exists, I've probably had my grubby hands on it, you'll be surprised what winds up on that Freeport from time to time, and don't mind the cybernetics, this old greaser's been through some scrapes.
Why do you want join us: Word has it them Zoners are plannin' somethin' with Freeport 2, while the guys on station pay well I don't care to stay around for the bloodbath on station. At the end of the day my family were Unioners, maybe it's about time I pay attention to my roots, fall in with a group I can truly get behind, have some loyalty.
Why were the Unions outlawed?: Rheinland hates decent working people and doesn't know a good set of shipbuilders when they see them.
Why were the LWB outlawed?: A lot of people really hate farmers and plants. Maybe they all have allergies.
Describe, in your own words, our attitude to life: Normally I hate to use this term, but; 'Arbeit macht frei'. Our line of work really does allow us to be free. Everyone's gotta pull their own weight, everyone has a job to do and as long as everyone does their job to their fullest it keeps us alive, but equally so, they're free to do work as they choose. At least, that's how I see it.
You’re the captain of an artefacts transport. Your escort and your convoy mate is engaged. Do you wait for your escort, assist them in battle, or proceed according to route?: Depends where we are, how much we're hauling, what we're up against and how much I know those guys. No offence, but I ain't sittin' around for some Military milksop to space me, that said; it's bad for morale if we lose people. Parts are easy to replace, people ain't. Unioners gotta stick together. Besides, there's been enough deaths out in the black already.
You’re the captain of a strike cruiser. There’s a fight occurring between the Hessians and the Rheinland military, which the Hessians are winning. You can wait for the Hessians to win, help the Hessians or help the Rheinland lawful. Which do you do?: The question is; do I need to get involved? Do I care? Do I have something to gain? - I'd rather not help either side if I'm honest. Though, at least the Military are the devil I know.
Oorp Section
Discovery experience: I've been around a year or two since this account's conception, on and off. I've never been sanctioned. Are you willing to partake in all forms of Unioner activity, including smuggling, piracy, fleet action and research excursions?: Yes. Do you enjoy text based role-play?: Yes. Definitely. Do you agree to maintain a non-adversarial attitude to other players?: I agree. You do you agree to accept the RP consequences of the character’s actions?: Oh yes, I look forwards to them. Can you dedicated a minimum of two hours a week to the faction, be it in game, on forum, or elsewhere? (with obvious exceptions for IRL issues): I think I can manage at least two hours per week just fine. Do you guarantee that you will show a reasonable level of independence as a Syndic? That you will log and play independently and involve yourself in the Syndic community?: Yep. DISCORD (mandatory).: викингмункй#0001
When contending with a monster, you'd be wise to give the devil his due.
