My Life:
When I was four, my parents were both killed during an attack on Planet Denver. Since then, I grew up and led a mediocre life, forever bearing a grudge against merciless rogues. Without any parents to guide me or any relatives, I was put under the care of a retired liberty navy officer. He had always told me stories of how he fought the enemies of liberty but I was never too inspired. It was the liberty navy after all that failed to save my parents. So I grew up, sad and angry, became an engineer because I had a deep desire to fix things, much like how I wanted to fix my past.
However, after three years as an engineer on Planet Denver's dock, I came across a wanted ad for engineers on the Mississippi. My boss strongly encouraged me to go and even wrote me a recommendation, saying that it would be a great waste of my potential if I had stayed in a place where civilians whine about their engines making too much noise when there was a battleship out there which needed me to keep its guns going. He convinced me and I went.
Three years into life on the battleship and I got tired of oiling turrets and aligning targeting systems so I decided to take shore leave. Back on planet Denver, I met an interesting young man at the bar. After talking to him about his life as a freelancer, I decided that I had to experience it for myself before it was too late. After all, I did not want to be an engineer my whole life. The cockpit is where I belong, not the engine room.
As a freelancer, I explored more of Sirius, dealt with more pirates than I had ever come across in my life as an engineer and seen for myself how poorly protected Liberty is that mercenaries and freelancers like myself were in such popular demand. Perhaps the Navy lacks the funding, or perhaps it lacks the manpower. Whatever the case, I hope to join the Navy to do what needs to be done and to satisfy my strong desire for justice.
