Biography: As a child James Robinson was brought up in a middle class family with working class roots and this had quite the effect on his drive and motivation to strive for something better. His father taught him a hard work ethic and explained to him their family's past generational hardships and instilled this in him as a motivator to strive forward in life towards something always better. His fathers hard work ethic also came with a enjoyment of life even harder efficacy and so as James father worked them up into the middle class as an engineer for BMM. That pay allowed them to start to enjoy life and James was already well travelled by a young age having had many vacations in which he would enjoy and appreciate with his parents and siblings.
As a young teen James fathers hard work continued to pay off and James found Orbital Spa & Cruise started to become a familiar sight in their vacation planning. It had turned out his father was quite the whiz with the stock market and sold his monthly awarded employee stock options for profit and used those funds to trade in other areas on the open market rather successfully.
When James inquired about his success his father would always reply "As an engineer I see how things work" James admired his fathers humble answer because it was clear his father had a rather sharp mind and could of easily switched careers but enjoyed the hands on work of his primary trade. This all allowed for support of more luxurious style vacations and so they had become quite well travelled to all the great houses of the Sirius Sector.
In his middle teen years Rhineland had become James favourite destination of vacation, for young James had fallen in love with a lovely young Rhinelander lady called Freya while on a skiing trip with his family on New Berlin. She had crashed into him and offered to make it up to him by taking him out on a date. Their love quickly bloomed but their shared love for one another and romance although a strong one would soon be found to be short lived for reasons mostly outside of their control.
In his late teen years James joined the Bretonian Space Training Corps. This made him happy and he felt quite at home in the corps enjoying all types of adventure training for the future. Leadership Skills, Survival Training, Light Arms Instruction and his favourite subject Spacecraft Flight Training.
After passing out from the training corps and although not clear on what he wanted to do with his life he knew he had some ideas he was hoping he could weave together. His passions are piloting adventure and entrepreneurship. Having earned his wings as a cadet he met with a Bretonian Armed Forces recruiter and discussed what his future might look like. He settled on a package that would allow him to become a B-907A Crusader Heavy Fighter pilot and in return for his service the government would pay to put him into business school, he couldn't of been more happier.
Now at the beginning of twenties there was only one problem, after a background vetting his romantic ties to the young woman in Rhineland were flagged as a security concern by Bretonia Intelligence Service and he was later told by his BAF recruiter that his career would be dead on arrival if he did not break it off with Freya and go their separate ways. He was devastated. Was it a political thing ? Did Freya's family pose some kind of threat to the Kingdom? He never really found out, but he believed it had more to do with the former. Can't have fighter pilots not pulling the trigger because they were in love with the possible "enemy" he had thought to himself or at least that's what he believed was implied.
He was pretty sure that neither Freya or her family would be on the other side of his cross-hairs but that wasn't the point his country wanted a answer and he gave them one.
Some months later and one month into his service he found out Freya was pregnant but by this point in time he was 20 years old and building a future for himself and well on his way to the success he had always dreamed of and yet he was willing to throw it all away for her, however she loved him so and wanted him to be happy and insisted the child was not his but another's. He had his suspicions as she refused a paternity test, begrudgingly he let it slide. Heartbroken he went forward working on to build a rewarding and well honoured career.
His early twenties carried on forward and he was well on his way and in full swing of achievement as a fighter pilot for the BAF and was so focused and razor sharp in his duties he was awarded and given a special dispensation to start his business schooling while on active service time. Working with his Commanding Officer they planned out a well defined and strict schedule it was taxing for time but yet he managed to balance his service of the realm, study for his degrees and even a new love affair with an Admirals daughter from the Liberty Navy he had met at a dinner party. His squadron members came to call him "The Machine" as they admired that he could handle such a work load and that every part of his day was filled with purpose and his ability to hold all his aspects of life together was almost inhuman.
By the end of the year after meeting Piper the Admirals daughter from Liberty he had proposed to the woman in a rather spectacular way having both petitioned his Wing Commander and the Liberty Admiral himself to be allowed to fly his fighter to the New York system to ask Piper to marry him. The petition was successful and his soon to be father-in-law allowed for him to make quite the spectacle and arrival having faked a Liberty Rouge attack on her transport shuttle and allowing James to make the "Rescue" it was all very romantic and exciting for Piper and she agreed to the marriage.
The stunt had raised a few eyebrows as the Colony News Service had mistaken the incident to be real. The truth was covered up for to sake of everyone's careers and ended up having a positive result. James came off looking like a Hero and both commands span what really happened to highlight the importance and value of joint exercises and improved relations between Liberty and Bretonian, It was ten years later by the time the truth came out and by that time no one cared and had bigger problems to deal with.
Shortly after their wedding, again James found himself met with paternity, this time however it was twins a boy and a girl both Piper and James were over the moon.
In his early thirties James left the service with a Honorable discharge and medals to boot along with degrees in Entrepreneurship, Marketing, and Finance, Colony Business, Business Analytics, Business Administration. James had plans to see the Colony's and show his family the joy he had had when he was young and get paid well while doing it. He joined a working Merchant Academy and within five years he had secured a Captains Credential and a Loan to buy a Bretonian Palace - Class Royal Cruise Liner. James needed however an Operating License and these are tricky to get. So instead he decided to try and get a franchising agreement with Orbital Spa and Cruise and he was successful.
Now at the beginning of his forties he has managed to independently secure an access permit to the Gallic Union opening up routes across the Colony's for his Luxury Cruise Liner. James was still mindful all these years later about the struggles people face and what his father had taught him about his family's history so with that in mind and the ability to help people he made it the The Queen Britannias mission to do Humanitarian Aid programs when possible providing refugee reintegrating charters back to Bretonia.
