IRP Name: Aurore Collier Age: 20; DOB 03/15/814 Height: 5'8" (173cm) Weight: 140lbs (63.5kg) Biography: My sister and I grew up in a poor family in New Breauxbridge, Planet Houston, TX. Surrounded by crime despite the best intentions of our parents, we both found ourselves doing a stint in juvie at the age of eleven for petty theft. I suppose the best way to put it would be that unlike many of our peers, the "scared straight" tactic worked, and we started taking our studies -- and the law -- quite seriously. I worked as a courier and metal-press operator's apprentice during highschool to help make ends meet. On the rare occasions we had the time, my sister and I would go for LPI ride-alongs, and as we were graduating highschool, we took our first space flight. As soon as we left atmosphere, I knew I had to be a pilot. I enlisted three days later.
My training at West Point was, in objective terms, quite unremarkable, but I was astounded at the dedication of my colleagues, the experience of my instructors, and just how well I adapted to the structure and security of military life. Upon graduation, I was pleased to learn that I was part of the one-third of my class being assigned for active duty and would have to apply for a specific fleet.
What's your motivation for joining our fleet?: I believe that the focused and flexible missions the Fifth Fleet specializes in suit my aptitudes, as my upbringing instilled a deep versatility and adaptability in me. The tight structure of the Fifth as opposed to the Secondary appeals to me; I believe that it is this environment within the Navy I can most thrive in and thus best serve my country and set an example for my fellow Libertonians.
OORP What kind of experience do you have on Discovery?: I've been playing for many years now, and have experience with Freelancer and Discovery from multiple different angles. I've lead factions both official and unofficial, been in HCs, and been a rank-and-file log-to-shootmans. I'm starting to think I enjoy the latter the most as it gives me the most freedom to develop my character's personality and social relations while simplifying the guidelines I have to obey ingame. While my pvp skills are lackluster, my roleplaying skills -- I'd like to think -- meet a high bar. I think the 5th will give me wonderful opportunities to improve upon the former while getting to enjoy the latter in a comparatively low-stress environment. I'm quite familiar with the military dynamic.
