Character's name and age:
Bob Bennett, 26 years old.
Character's short story:
I was born on the planet Houston, in the Texas system. My parents worked at the Huntsville State Prison. Although my family was law-abiding, I grew up in an environment full of ex-convicts, bounty hunters and corrupt police officers, but I was lucky and never had any problems because of that.
In fact, it was the opposite. In my adolescence and early adulthood, I ended up meeting people of all kinds and understanding that everyone had their own truths and reasons for the choices they made in their lives. However, I also learned that, depending on what your choices were, there would be consequences. I then asked myself what my choices would be.
I liked this diversity of people. Or rather, I liked knowing that this diversity was enormous. Whenever I could, I spent time in bars and busy public places. I liked listening to people and I met many people who had many stories to tell.
Many of these stories spoke of battles that took place in the border systems against an alien species that posed risks to the survival of humanity. And I also heard many rumors about fights and tensions that still existed in these places. Humans fighting against humans and humans fighting against aliens.
One thing was certain: in the border systems there were people who were fighting to defend the human species. They defend this diversity of people that I learned to like. They are not well regarded by the governments but in the mouths of the people they are appreciated. No one knows them but they do not seek fame. The fight is endless but they are resilient and determined.
It was clear, then, what my choice would be. I had found a purpose. After some time, with the help of a Zoner transport pilot, I arrived on the moon Akabat. With my savings I acquired a combat ship and now I am doing small jobs for the Order faction.
In some of these jobs I was helped by a pilot from the Eclipse Vanguard battle group. He seemed to have a lot of experience and a respected rank. He mentioned that the battle group is always looking for new pilots. Well, here I am enlisting for the Eclipse Vanguard. I have conviction, willpower and willingness to help wherever needed if you accept me.
What made you interested and why do you want to join E\V/:
I like the history behind the Order's faction. I like the idea of protect Sirius from a threatening enemy and, at same time, I noticed that Eclipse Vanguard faction is an active group.
What you mostly do and what do you prefer in Freelancer:
I like the PVE in the game. I don't have experience with PVP but I would like to try it and I guess I will like it.
