Hello Administrator Jameson. I've come here today to apply for the 101st Ghosts of Razgriz.
When I first came into life, I hoped to be a farmer like my dad, to carry the tradition. I wanted to help Gather the cardamine for sirius and of course, for Malta. In school me and my friends were always doing dangerous things (which my parents would have been very unhappy with, if they ever found out), we were basically adrenaline junkies. So while I knew my life would not be filled with adrenaline and risks, I knew that life didn't always turn out how you planned. Maybe I would find a wonderful wife and settle down, who knows. But after a long hot day on the farm I collapsed onto the couch and turned on the TV. First thing I saw was an ad for the Outcast Space Fleet, they were recruiting.
When I saw this I realised what I was meant for in life, to protect our land and space. My dad was still in good condition to run the farm himself, and we had stockpiled a fair amount of money over the years to hire a farm hand or even retire. When I asked my parents what they though about me joining the Fleet, they were shocked. My dad was stunned through out the conversation, but my mum was enthusiastic about it. She told me that she never thought I could settle down in a farmers life, it was too quiet for me. After a long 3 hours, my parents said yes.
My first ship was a dagger, mainly doing erands like messaging and scouting for my commander. I only saw action a couple times, 2 times with the corsairs and 4 or 5 within Kusari and I nearly got caught by their navy once. This was terrifying and electrifying at the same time, the adrenaline junky inside was boiling again, It wanted more. Shortly after, I am here applying for the 101st.
So while I admit my love for adrenaline can carry me away, I believe that I could be a useful addition to the 101st.
Thanks for your time, Administrator.

------OOC------
1) Why the 101st Outcast Guard?
Ever since I started playing freelancer (before I found Discovery and possibly before it was released) I loved the sheer amount of exploring you could do. Exploring Liberty and other houses wasn't very exciting, but exploring the Omicrons was. You found all these awesome things like wrecks, nomads, the best ships, WIERD suns and eventually the Hispania (I fist pumped and cried out with joy when I found it). I actually got into exploring when I made my first 'baddie' character. That character gave me the most fun I've had in a loooong time.
Summary+extra stuff: Because I love being unlawful and being in the omicrons. I also find the outcasts deeper than the corsairs. AND because the outcasts didn't ditch their ship, while the corsairs did (I think I read this somewhere). This tells me that the corsairs and cowards and outcasts are brave. For some reason I also see outcasts as the underdogs, and I like underdogs.
2) What are two things that you enjoy doing in real-life besides playing freelancer?
Sport (official or unofficial) and joking with friends.
3) What would the last sentence of your autobiography be?
And...so...yeh...thats my autobiography thingy, hope you liked it or whatever.
4) If you could be a fictional character (from a film, book, comic, etc...), who would it be, and why?
This is a hard one. Maybe Hancock without the attitude. Someone who can either fly or be agile without stupid gadjets. Too bad David Belle isn't fictional;)
EDIT: Hmm...maybe Jason Bourne, he is pretty ninja.
I do have a mic but I don't have skype.
And I hope we were meant to be creating these characters from our heads, and then create them and do w/e from there cos that's what I did.
Thats all folks!
