Name: Erin Marie Deacon Current or Desired Transponder(s): Erin.Deacon | Elson's.Rebellion Ship Class(es): BWX-F1A "Bayonet" | BK-65 "Serenity"-class Applying For: Citizenship AND Military Service Current Natio Citizenship:N/A Biographical Summary:
Long story short: I've been all over the place.
As a kid, I grew up as a duct-rat for several years on a multitude of stations scattered throughout Eastern Bretonia; I can't even tell you which one I was actually born on. My parents were some of BMM's finest miners- which didn't exactly leave a lot of spare time to watch after a kid. When I was 15, a friend of mine got us mixed in with a number of Liberty Rogues from across the border and eventually I just ran from home. I stayed with them for a while, working with some of their Cardamine haulers for the credits to keep a room to live in and food rations in my pack before finding my way to an independent TTR-1130 Series Liner, the Elson's Charity. I started there as a ride-along friend of the 3rd Officer, and took a bunch of those online tutorials to test my way through graduating some online colleges, set with a navigator's credentials and a pilot's license.
For the next few years, I ping-ponged back and forth between apprenticing under the ship's navigator, and flying as an escort pilot alongside the Charity. We were a tight little group for a while, largely plying the Liberty-Tau corridor delivering food and other supplies needed to keep a whole mess of stations running and fed. Eventually the pay of Cardamine haulage just got to be so much better than what we were making on the "straight and narrow" that we started storing small amounts of it aboard with our usual supplies and making detours to deliver it to the right people. Each run we'd take a little more until about 4 years ago, a GRN patrol snagged the Charity, and flagged it for termination because of the Cardamine load. I was flying escort at the time and did my best to fend them off, but I was facing down a whole patrol wing by myself with only the minimal gun coverage the Charity could provide. Naturally, it wasn't going to be a fight we could win. With the writing evident on the wall, I broke from the fight and gunned it for the nearest station to hide out on, and have basically been looking for steady work ever since.
Reason for Application:
I need a job
You're hiring
Screw Gallia
Not a lot of places will offer permanent positions for Cardamine users, and most places have it as illegal. So far as I'm aware, that isn't the case for the Natio.
A few weeks ago I managed to secure myself a half functioning Serenity transport and have been looking for someone to help me get her up and running, as well as crew her.

Oh heeey budddyyyyy.
It's been a while! Glad to see you're still in one piece. Considering the work you've done with us before, your citizenship has been re-upped and your previous rank of Raider -- well, that rank doesn't exist per se anymore, but you've been reinstated in the Fourth Octavarium Fleet under the equivalent rank of Specialist. Get your tools and head up to Tau-44. Processing and ship inspection and maintenance is on Melbourne Station, and your free apartment at Canberra is waiting for you to be claimed.
Welcome home.

So many transporting deals, so i havent much training in PvP
We have always had respect for the Junkers and their ability to maintain their livelihoods and possessions in sub-par conditions. That said, your abilities will definitely be necessary, as we do not have the facilities required to provide complete maintenance of a non-military command Bustard-class carrier. But if it is your home, it is your home, and we would not force you to part with it. Just try not to break too many foreign laws with it. The Ministry of Relations can only cover up so much at any given point in time.

Name: Asuna Akibara Current or Desired Transponder(s): Asuna.Akibara Ship Class(es): Falchion-class Heavy Fighter Applying For: Citizenship AND Military Service Current Natio Citizenship: None Biographical Summary: I was born on New Tokyo at the turn of the century, and after a short stint with one of the many subsidiaries under Kishiro, decided to leave for the Lane Hackers. I.. don't know exactly what the Natio's position is on them, but I assure the Natio that my intents with both citizenship and joining your military are pure. Since I can't show my face in Bretonia, Kusari or Liberty, and I wouldn't dare kiss the ass of the Gauls to get into their cesshole, and the Rheinlanders would just shoot me out of spite, I have come to the Natio Octavarium to seek citizenship and prove my willingness to be a Natio citizen by joining the Military. Reason for Application: I've got nowhere else to go. Well, there are those revolutionaries on the other side of Sirius, but I couldn't care less about my old house anymore.

Discord Tag: Nodoka "Nikki" Hanamura#4051 Time Zone: EST Have you been sanctioned in the last two years? No What made you want to join NO-? My experiences with you in Ouroboros made me think "Why not?". Especially since you're probably the best group of guys I've met so far in Disco. How much experience do you have in roleplaying, both Discovery and otherwise? As stated in my Feedback, I have sizable experience with the world of Freelancer and of Discovery Freelancer, and have RP'd for years. I prefer shortform RP, but I am more than open to engage in long form RP if it's engaging enough. What is your favourite ship class for PvP? Heavy fighters, and Bombers for anti-capital warfare. Who doesn't love a big boom? Oh, as for Capitals, I personally like Cruisers, GBs and BCs.
// This application and the lore within has been retconned pursuant to my return to Disco in 2024. I know it's not exactly a wise thing to do, but sadly keeping track of all of the characters over the years can get a bit difficult.

Ms. Akibara,
Former Lane Hacker, eh? Well, you'll fit right in here. Lots of former Hacker affiliates and a couple ex-Hackers proper who got out before the going got culty, most of our military command structure included. We'll have to send you Ye Olde Raideres Bible at some point, it's worth a read at least for a chuckle or two. While I don't think we can do anything about Kusari or Liberty, flying under our banner will probably keep you in Bretonia's good spot. Just don't brag about any murders or anything. Welcome aboard.

Name: Aoi Oono. Current or Desired Transponder(s): Aoi.Oono., Fujinomiya. Ship Class(es): Light fighter. Applying For: Citizenship. Current Natio Citizenship: None. Biographical Summary: Well... i have already told mister Riley my brief story, but i don't mind repeating it here. My name reveals pretty much everything about my origin, that is right - i were born in Kusari, but soon after the fate thrown me into Omicrons. Was just a coincidence, and even through it was only Theta, where i have spent few years under the gentle watch of the locals, who surprisingly supported me - free of any charge. It did not take long for me to get a taste of life in Omicrons, with all the squids, imperialistic fanatics and wannabe humanity saviors it was a place that only housed dread, and discontent.
That was the sole reason for me to hop aboard of a Zoner convoy headed for Honshu, harsh and unfriendly Edge worlds was not the best place for a child. Upon arrival, i have fitted myself into an orphanage on the outskirts of the Honshu central prefecture.
This allowed me, aside from basic education that every orphan received, to study programming and become somewhat proficient in hacking through complex Neural Net security protocols - starting with simple ones and following with more complex, along with a fairly large amount of engineering books red along and across, with some practice over the local technical issues; when i have turned seventeen - i have turned to work for a first private contractor than needed data to be extracted from a secure vault. Honestly, i have no idea what brought him to turn to me instead of more experienced ones, but that was it - was a chance for me to prove myself, and that's what i did. It followed with few more private contracts and leaving the orphanage for good, buying off a small corner for myself on Kyushu for temporary stay and isolation from society. Reason for Application: You need to socialise and obtain some purpose to work towards at some point, you know?
