4.) Describe in your own words your previous experiences, your view of the Xeno Alliance, and your motivation to join:
Pittsburgh Miner. Family were Immigrants from Bretonia. Thought it'd be better in Liberty. Suppose they were right, barely.
Spent half my life digging rocks before giving up and taking a tenure with the good old Liberty Navy. Felt good to be one of the big boys instead of stumbling forward on a shit rock in the corner of New York, for awhile at least.
When the whole civil war thing happened, i stayed with Liberty for awhile, running around playing ensign on a capital ship. Wore on me. Got tired, watching us fight Seperatist and then Insurgency warships, watching pilots and crewmen get dragged off to whatever godforsaken pit the LPI has lined up to work them to death in, so i jumped ship. Real good time to do that wasn't it? Stay on the winning side and then abandon ship to join the Insurgents when its already clear they're losing, fucking genius aren't it?
But somewhere in there was something that might have been worth it, maybe a Liberty where people don't spend half their life rotting on a dustball breaking rocks for barely enough to live. Well, not anymore, not from them. Everyones gone now.
I heard somewhere along the rebels and Xenos were allied, then they had a spat and broke ways, but i don't care about some politics i wasn't around to witness.
I spent some time serving as a mechanic on Insurgency ships the past while, spent the last couple months serving on a battlecruiser, newly built and all - albeit from scraps and broken hulls - but they're not sticking around. After everything, the Captain and most of the crew are bolting, running off to the god damn Tau's and abandoning what they apparantly believe in. Fine. Their perogative.
I refused. To their credit, they gave me a fighter and some provisions and waved me off. But for fucks sake. I'm not an experienced fighter pilot, and even if i was, theres the entire navy out there.
So. I'm calling in. Liberty is my home, even if it wasn't my families, and i've picked my side, and i'd rather go down fighting for something worth it than go back to breaking rocks or finding out what dark hole the governments found to throw people like me. I got acquainted with a few Xeno supporters on Pittsburgh earlier in life, before they got broken up and dragged off by LPI at least, and somewhere along the line someone said that the Xenos believed in that.
Unless that's changed, you're the only people left to fight with, because i'm sure as anything not joining with a god damn band of Rogues.
If you're willing to overlook the case of my parentage, well, try not to leave me waiting too long.
