My first char on this server was called Normann.O'Connor (yes, with double "n" at that time), first I intended to get him a fighter (somehow, don't remember how I was going to earn cash... either missions, or simple trading), but then I ran across Matt.Keil (ResidentialKanine on the forums), who told me to get myself a Rhino. I guess I renamed the char later and made a Guardian with that name once I got enough cash (didn't even bother getting an AU, I guess).
While we're at it, I should also thank Gafwmn. Once I got myself a Dromedary, I ran across him. He gave me some ore to haul to Kusari and taught me how to evade pirates. I used the cash I earned that day to get myself a Mini-Razor. At that time I was foolish enough to try stopping 2 pirates (one of them could be Pacific, the other might be Implosion, although I'm not so sure about that). The annoying Guardian tasted a SNAC, as expected.
Even without the AU I still managed join Zigeris, who intended to make a scouting in Rheinland. Despite the fact that I had no armor, I still relied on my Razor. But, having met an Aoi Isejin in Alaska (might be Akura's Isejin, but again, not sure about that), I realised that the lack of normal AU on my ship is a problem (since I tend to detonate mines easily). Despite the fact that I could use the Razor, I got killed quite fast.
Then I came to Connecticut and tried dueling some people there. Of course, I lost, but a Mandalorian (MM~Suoic.Arov; sorry if I mispronounced the name, it has been almost a year since that happened) gave me 10.000.000, so I managed to get myself an AU VII (which I still use on one of my chars).
And yes, since I mentioned donations, I'd like to thank Zeb, who helped me to acquire fully-outfitted Grizzly. Also, I thank Evangelist (his LPI char Bo, to be exact) for his indirect help in acquiring my first couple of Iron Hammers. Only after that my main Disco adventures began...
P.S.: I guess I managed to mention most people who helped me to set up here. I hope that I didn't forget anyone.
