Name: James Howard Gender: Male Age: 51 Birthplace:Liberty, Colorado, Planet Denver Previous Occupation(s): Pilot, Officer, Executive officer of an Liberty Cruiser, Commanding Officer of many Hellfire capital ships (per ship, of course)
Biography: My story starts on Liberty planet, in 775, I was born to wealthy on Denver, my father was an naval officer aboard Liberty Naval Cruiser, and my mother? Well, was an Liberty Police officer, both of them met on Denver, since my father was part of the Rio Grande battlegroup at the time. It wasn't long before they married, when I was five year's old, my father was promoted to higher rank and took command of the LNS Columbia, the Liberty Dreadnought which was patroling the New York, I'm gonna get back to it later. He was commanding for years to come, for me, I was mostly living on Denver, I seen my father not often, I need to note, I have seen him many times on Christmas, and he was always coming with presents for me, and for my mother, well, she retired not long after they both married, so I seen her all the time.
Many years gone by, and I have went to many schools, even military one's, since I was really fascinated by fathers work out there, I wanted to become him, I wanted to fight those criminals away, which were terrorizing the Liberty. On the 795, I signed up for the Liberty Navy, after that I was sent to West Point academy where I trained to be an pilot, when I passed all the tests and trails, I was sent off to patrol the New York system and more, as an Ensign, only took me two years to reach rank of Lieutenant Commander, and on 799, I was assigned to newly constructed by the time Battleship Missouri and it's battlegroup. It was only then, I got rank of an Commander, this allowed me to be an executive officer of Liberty Cruiser, I don't remember it was called anymore, it was long time ago.
Since I said, I would get back to the LNS Columbia.. well, this was massacre. One month before new year, the 800, the Battleship Columbia, under the command of my father: Anderson Howard was destroyed by the Rogue bombers which came out of no where, I was there, I can say, it was very fast, I couldn't do anything, not a thing to save my father and the crew of the battleship, only few of them were found within escape pod. When 800 came, the strange things begun to happen, my commanding officer was replaced on that Liberty Cruiser which I was executive officer, and more which.. well, I can't exactly remember, I'm old, maybe the oldest which comes with this application.
On the same year, the Ragnarok and other vessels escaped to Magellan, as we all know, and was attacked by large Navy battlegroup, I was there, I was the part of that Libery Navy battlegroup which was attacking those "deserters". Now you will ask "what I did there? Did I attacked? Did I deserted? Did I escaped away"? Since strange things were happening in the Liberty Navy and aboard the Liberty Cruiser which I was an executive officer on, I made an hard decision, I had chosen to believe that Liberty was really corrupted as I was theorizing from the encounters I had with unlawful's and more, I went AWOL and desert to their side in middle of the encounter.
I can still remember, the whole battle was an nightmare, we were holding off a lot of Navy wings with Ragnarok, if it wasn't for Lane Hacker back then, I wouldn't be telling this story to you. When we arrived in our current capital system, the Vespucci, I undergo heavy interrogations, which I told only truth, probably there are still files of those conversation's left intact on database. I was even visited by the Thastus himself, he explained me everything to me, I cannot give the details, but probably there are still files intact in database, probably. Since that day, I was an pilot for the Thastus force, later on, we would pick the name as the "Hellfire Legion", couple of years later, in 818 came, and I was 43 by that time and I was an commanding officer of one of the Hellfire capital ships, I was proud of what I did back in 800.
After the strike on the California, and almost clean system at our hands, our old leader Drake Thastus was captured and killed. If you ask me, I was pretty in shock and morale was badly hurt, before we knew it, we were pushed out of California system, I was there in California, helping in the escape to Vespucci, and I was heavily injured. I was out of action for the fighter combat, I never liked it to be honest. When Thastus died like I said, the leadership changed to Denelo Mori, but then some time later, Aralie Phelps came into power to be replaced by somebody else, and because of that, I retired, I had a good headache of watching this leadership change for over years.
I was mostly on the Monterrey Base, living in the personal quarters, overseeing training as the Hellfire Veteran and more. After years of training new blood and more, I decided to get back to Hellfire Legion, and I would like to be assigned to a warship if this recruitment get's accepted, my injuries sustained in the California retreat back in 818 doesn't allow me to pilot a fighter.
Reasons for joining us: Because Drake Thastus showed me truth after that escape back in 800, I'm still in debt and I want to pay it, also because I want to kick some corrupted people out of the Liberty.
