Region from the empire: Attica, Crete (Omicron Gamma) - Former Liberty citizen of Manhattan
Why do you want to join?: Rejoin. The elders graciously granted my personal leave to investigate the strange circumstances of my father's death. Following this I spent a few years spending time with my sisters and their families at Attica. My nieces and nephews have grown, my sisters are well looked after, and I wish to return to active service.
What are capacities and what do you want to bring to the empire?: I am a returning veteran. I bring with me my experience in managing and piloting capital-class vessels ranging from gunboats to heavy battleships. I have experience in commanding both small squadrons and large fleets. Since becoming a non-citizen national I've provided this naval expertise to The Brotherhood, and in my time spent planet-side I've provided medical and bio-mechanical implant services.
Biography: I was born on Manhattan, an Admiral's son and groomed to follow in his father's footsteps. When I was only ten years old, I watched as my father mercilessly fired upon a transport carrying Corsair and Gaian civilians, including women and children. Disgusted by his actions, as soon as I graduated from the academy and had a ship of my own, I fled - along with my two sisters - as far away from Liberty space as possible. Our travels eventually led us to Cadiz after our ship had been attacked by Hessians. A Corsair squadron, led by General Rivera, swooped in to engage the Hessians and with their help, we dispatched them. A man of unwavering honor and dignity, General Rivera and his Corsairs escorted us to Cadiz and permitted us to make use of the station to repair our ship. It was here I met an eldery woman that described, in detail, the atrocity my father had committed years prior. I learned her daughter was killed, along with her infant granddaughter and soon-to-be son in law for nothing more than the crime of being Corsair - for being "pirates". General Rivera noticed my reaction to the woman's story, took me aside and made me an offer: Avenge this atrocity and repay this debt by joining the Brotherhood.
Lunga vita all'impero! Long live the Empire!
OORP section
How long have you been playing Freelancer Discovery for?: Played for a few years after joining in 2008. I don't recall exactly when I stopped playing but it was around 2010-2011. My old application is actually still up on page 4.
How familiar are you with the lore of corsairs?: Very familiar.
How would you rate your RP skills out of 10?: 8-9 I take RP very seriously and consider myself better than most. I DM D&D for friends and family as well so I'm no stranger to getting into character.
How would you rate your PvP skills out of 10? What ship-types are you good in?: Probably on the lower end for now. Shaking off ~10 years of rust but I still have the muscle memory from back in the day. As of right now I'd probably be at a 5 but I am confident I could get back up to a 7 or 8. I flew a gunboat on here back in the day, and prefer to fly (and am best at flying) capital vessels. Primarily flew battleships in Freelancer Combat Evolved, 88 Flak and a Star Wars server I can't recall the name of (might have been Tides of War when I came back to playing Freelancer for a bit before IRL took a turn for the worse)
