Started off as a Commander Piloting a GB with his Trusty XO Commander Eversman about a year ago. Hes Commanded 3 capital ships in total. and Chris has been XO on every one of them. He got promoted to Captain for taking on 2 RM Cruisers in Texas with a LSC and winning, before being forced to abandon the LNS-Portland on the way back to Houston due to a major hull breach which tore the ship in two.
(And no thats not made up those cruisers were just idiots!! xD)
First character was, of course, named Zukeenee. Started him just over 5 years ago now. Immediately got put into a Camara Freighter because Kane gave me the money and pretty much said "Here, buy this ship". Currently, he exists as Zachary.Lucas, a Freelancer in an Eagle. He does... Freelancerish things.
I think Yahvo came next. A trader, worked him up to an Advanced Train, got shanghaied into the still somewhat new IND, and... well, I don't consider them the same character anymore, but I still have my IND Adv. Train, the Casual Friday.
And third was Brakelatabasaasta. He always has been, and always will be, Brakelatabasaasta.
My first character on Disco was actually made a very, very long time ago; Echo 7-7, made back in... v4.80. Blast from the past much? Note my original join date, I signed up back then but never read or posted.
It was a Nephthys with full Nomad guns, since back in those days, it was quite acceptable for a LN battleship to escort my Starflier out to the Omicrons in order (no pun intended) to set up a decent fighter. Yeah, there was no tech chart. I can't even remember if there were IDs.
I stopped playing simply because I got bored of Freelancer in general and didn't know the true scale of Disco's awesomeness.
This time round, when I finally got back into it, the somewhat infamous BakaKoneko got me into Ageira by forum recruitment; my first ship was my Ageira trader, the Black.Mountain, now the Chornohora. Was given a Camara, I worked my way up to Heron. I don't trade with it much since I now also have a Mastodon (or five - shared, of course), but it is more fun to fly when checking out new potential trade routes.
My first char is Me, 3 months ago. He first flied a lolship, then a temporary Eagle, then a Titan. After being blown up by Anna and Appollyon, he changed to Praetorian, later to Pirate Transport to farm and finally, now and forever: Praefect "Praetty" Cruiser.
Don't punch me or lul me blah blah....
My first character was LoLPenguin, haha. Started watching some friends play, decided to join the fun, got drafted to the Outcasts as soon as I started plalying. Jonathn_Archer (I think was the name) took me under his wing for a while and paid for and equipped me with a falcata+snac+accesories, and tought me the basics of pirating. Was an original member of the {SoB}. Back when RoS was still around. And has remained {SoB}Leo.Pendragon ever since.
My Disco join date is the same time I started playing in server I believe... not 100% sure.
But regardless, all my characters throughout the years have been wiped due to inactivity. =[
(If anyone currently owns the ORIGINAL Jolly.Roger, please contact me)
It's been fun, and I always enjoy coming back and playing when I have the chance.
Post Script: I remember we used to call me particular names because when I found out how profitable trading was, I managed to rp my way through getting an advanced train fully equipped for free. Good times. =]
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.
