Born 21 years ago on the planet Houston in the Texas system, Matthew Austin is a slum dweller: his father was an ex-con who was exiled to this godforsaken place, while his mother was a reporter working for a publication that sought to open the eyes of the citizens of Liberty to life on this planet.
Despite his criminal past, his father strived to get his life back on track, working hard at one of the planet's industrial facilities, his future wife called him in for an interview, which later turned into something more. Matthew's father had only one trait left in him: strict discipline and the acquired skill of dealing with people during his imprisonment. So it turned out that the child of their marriage was brought up in harsh conditions, surrounded by peers from the same, criminal families, under the iron hand of his father.
This paid off, as Austin Jr. was able to learn responsibility and diligence, which served his high grades in school. His goal was to serve in the Navy, as he rightly believed that this would allow him to get his family beyond the planet Houston and move to any other world. And so it was after graduation that he enrolled in a military academy, where he showed excellent results both in grades and in adhering to the regulations.
Some time before his graduation from the academy, a local campaign to join one of Liberty's power structures began, with several major military fleets to choose from, where Matthew could find a use for himself. Having been brought up in the criminal world, the idea of bringing order to his House and ridding it of crime lingered in his mind, and so he expressed his desire to become part of the illustrious Fifth Fleet.
What's your motivation for joining our fleet?: Maintain order in Liberty House and safeguard its sovereignty from encroachment both internally and externally.
OORP What kind of experience do you have on Discovery?: RP, PvP, the latter was usually more. All this lasted for many years. Text RPGs outside of Discovery have also played their part, and so I'll easily understand what is required of me.
