► Full Name & Age: Iris Edelhexe, 26 ► Enlisted or Officer track?: Enlisted ► Brief biography: Born in a sprawl in New Berlin, she always looked up to her space faring father. The man eventually went missing deep in the Omegas. Her now single mother became very frugal with the family money. She was an obedient child, but always envied those above her, fostering vague ambitions, until a lucky break with Imperial Shipping landed her a cargo hauler commission. After a month of more or less mediocre accomplishments in hauling, the ship was intercepted in Galileo by a Liberty Rogue. After paying fines for the damages sustained, inquiry and her direct superior observed her attitude would be more suited for combat ships, and sent her to the Rheinland Military for evaluation and enlistment. Without any other option and patriotic motivation to boot, she arrived at the recruitment center before any other personnel were on site, starry eyed and penniless. ► Remarkable encounters with the Rheinwehr, or while representing the Rheinwehr as an indie soldat: None yet.
Reasons for joining the Kaiserliche Rheinwehr
I believe in Rheinland, its everlasting spirit of overcoming adversity, and its industrious people's strength. To defend the Fatherland is a most sacred duty, and I have received its call. I seek the structure of the armed forces and to fulfill my purpose within it as a proud Rheinlander. There is nothing else I should do.
OOC: ► Can you speak English at a level high enough for a RP server?: Would say I'm adept at it.
► German knowledge level (will not affect your application): Beginner-ish. Es wird kein Problem im Disco, ja? ► Are you familiarized with the current conflicts in Rheinland? Outline them: Alongside the establishment of the empire, Rheinland has fought multiple external and internal threats to a standstill. This includes chasing the Red Hessians into the Omegas, somewhat isolating the Bundschuh, and holding systems bordering Rheinland in tense balance against Houses and major corporations, until a state of neutrality was achieved. Rheinland is more friendly with Galia, conversely less with Kusari. Wounds from the war with Liberty are still scabbing, necessitating rebuilding fleet strength, which has been a good opportunity for restructuring and investing in the government's logistics instead. Corsairs are a common threat surrounding Rheinland, as are Wild, whose raids from the Omicrons are perhaps a larger threat than more domestic actors.
The primary sectors the Rheinland military would be active in would then be the Sigmas where GMG interest, unlawful incursions, and Wild all collide, as well as the Omegas where Rheinland mining corporate industry is focused. Cologne's recently rise in unlawful activity is a concern, especially with Gallic trade passing through there, and with the resurrection of the LWB as an independent force.
BDM can be an issue within the House space itself, as they have proven more autonomous than would be ideal.
► Reason for joining? (please tell us what got you interested in [RM] as a player): Rheinland has always been my favorite house in vanilla, and while I may have strayed here and there, it's what I'd prefer playing.
