Caliban | Special Operative ID

[Caliban]

1. Forum name of the owner: @Caliban

2. What exactly are you requesting?

-I am requesting a Special Operative ID with the following lines and information.

Caliban ID

Caliban is a nomadic mercenary who used to fly by the name of Vincent Abrams - an independent scientist that studied the effects of the Prophet Anomaly in Kepler, later seemingly murdered by The Order. He was eventually saved from almost certain death by the Technocracy of Auxo, but at the cost of his memories and personality fading away.

The amnesiac scientist had turned into a mercenary flying under the name of Caliban, completing contracts from any source to further his own goals and ensure his survival.


The pilot carrying this ID is Caliban, who:

-Can attack any ship to defend allies.

-Can attack any ship in pursuit of a contract.

-Can attack ships belonging to or assisting Technocracy of Auxo or The Order.

- The ship locked to have no IFF.

- 100% techcompat on the Valkyrie.

- Freedom to change loadouts (if applicable) within reason.

3. Exact name, identification and affiliation of the character:

-Character Name: Caliban (Previously Ego)
-Ship Name: Caliban (Previously Ego and variants of Ridge and Vincent.Abrams)
-identification: Freelancer ID

4. Why is this request necessary for the continuation of this character's roleplay?

I would like to have a Special Operative ID added to the ship to complement his evolution as a character from an absolute nobody that didn't even want to hear about combat to someone that knows nothing else outside of it, hardened by the consequences of his actions during the current progression in a story arc made by @Treewyrm. Something me and some others call "The Final Journey". From a technical standpoint, the techcompat is necessary because the character now focuses more on bounty hunting, contracts and general survival from various threats - one of them represented by those he is hiding from. I did not send such a request before, because back then Vincent was just a researcher. He was not combat oriented by any means and thus did not require such. His current relations are quite volatile - reason why I need the ID lines mentioned above.

5. What short-term and long-term goals are you planning to achieve on this character?

Short term goals:
~Finish the story arc surrounding Kepler together with the rest of the players involved in it.

Long goals:
~Caliban (previously Ego; Vincent Abrams) has decided to distance himself from who he was before. Flashbacks from his past life revealed an individual the character no longer resonates with. He seeks to make a name for himself as who he is now, rather than who he was.
~Customize the ship to fit the character.
~Continue the fight against the Nomads, which he was part of since always.
~Continue to develop the character's vessel and story as time goes on.
