Character backround: Born on Planet Malta to Cortez family, Nicolas' parents weren't as rich as the majority of Outcasts. They worked on cardamine fields. Every Outcast is known to cardamine since childhood. There aren't many schools on Malta so there are a few ways of living a life of an Outcast - be it a cardamine smuggler or grower, a slave smuggler, or a warrior and handing over your soul to spirits of supreme beings. He was a typical child but his parents were hardly managing house finances. He never had good food as a child nor that joy of normal childhood but he still got through it. At age of 16, Nicolas started working on fields with his parents, taking care of orange grass every day wasn't that fun, but it was something that had to be done.
When he turned 18, he started working on a ship testing facility on Planet Malta. Various Maltese ships were brought for testing before their first flight. There was a small repairing shop nearby. Nicolas sometimes spend his free time there, trying to learn something new.
He had a close friend named "Alina". Nicolas had known her since childhood. She worked on nearby orange fields. As time passed their friendship turned into love - that endless love. They wanted to marry but Alina's parents didn't accept Nicolas. She turned out to be his girlfriend, started believing in Crimson Cross culture and one day she disappeared. Nicolas tried his best to find her but he didn't have any clue. He never had many friends. Nicolas never forgot Alina, she was always in his heart. Years have passed, but she was still missing. He moved on with his life but she was still there somewhere in his heart.
Civil war, which killed many Maltese brothers and sisters was gone, but its aftermath was there. Both groups lost their power and new groups like Crimson Cross gained it, who he never really liked, with a lot of reasons. With handful of credits he saved from work, Nicolas bought a new Sabre and started taking parts in small Outcast raids.
These were his first steps into space. On his first flight to the space he felt like his body is floating in air. It was a feeling he had never experienced before. The first job for him was to rob an IMG Convoy. It was a small convoy so its defences had to be small as well, but as they approached the convoy, Nicolas and others saw it was guarded more heavily then they thought. After scanning the transport, they knew the reason why they were guarding such a small convoy that much. It was transporting dozens of strange nomad artifacts. There was no turning back for Outcasts, so they fought with glory. Many Outcast fighters were destroyed, but the remaining of them managed to get the cargo and run away with it. Instead of credits, the cargo was distributed among all who participated. Nicolas didn't sell his artifacts and instead kept them with him. They gave him a unique feeling.
Nicolas lived alone after the passing of his parents. He heard stories about group of people called "Samarran Raiders", reading everything he could about them. Soon, Nicolas found himself attracted to their way of life and agenda. He also heard that they disappeared. Nicolas started waiting for that time when Raiders will rise again
Reason(s) of character joining Samarran Raiders:
Nicolas is looking for a brighter path then his ordinary life, Nicolas want to be a part of those stories which he read about, Nicolas didn't like those people as well who run Malta at the movement, He is looking for a change in power
Samarran riders are from those Zoners and emigrants who left House systems to find peace, They traveled long way and reached a system they call Babylon, They found a Planet there which they named as Samarra, They settle there, Where there are human there is fight so they started to fight each other and then a guy from big city arose as leader, He told his people about supreme being he called them as Anunnaki (which I think nomads), He told people about his vision, Long centuries of peace came on planet, Many things discovered, People from Sirius started getting in the system while exploring or while running from other sirians, A group from the Planet natives found way to travel through wormhole without any problem, started raiding in Omicrons and got back with their loot to Planet and earn respect, To please Anunnaki a small, well organized group of Riders left Planet and made their way to Taus , They encounter a Junker and capture it, They met many other unlawful and lawful factions and became friendly with OC
What are Samarran Raiders goals?
To establish an empire under guiding of Nomads
To unite Human race under nomads flag to save it from destruction
What you would accomplish as being one of Samarran Raiders?
I will ride along Raiders as an Assassin / diplomate , Will Rp with people around Sirius , Will do things as my character Rp goes
Your backround and idea of character is suitable for a Raiders but, there are few mistakes you've made which aren't that big but, you should understand.
You will have to work on grammar, it's not that bad but work on it would be needed and we will help you out. I sometimes make mistakes about it too since it's not my native language.
Perhaps, it's hard sometimes to understand beginnings of Samarran people. For example, when they've settled on planet, they didn't had any technology, they had to build it up. They had space shuttles to explore and nothing more than that.
Jumphole which brought them from Sirius into Babylon sector eventually collapsed so, no- one was getting in or out from it. After some time, the exiles (now Samarran Raiders) had to run from Babylon and Samarra because of opposing tribes who didn't believed in Anunnaki (Nomads). They used jump hole which eventualy showed up again and they found themselves in Omicron Beta and then, they acted injured and after Junker captain accepted them on his ship, they seized control over it. After that, they went into Cardamine- Slavery business and Outcasts accepted them and helped them out to become what they are today.
Other than that, considering all this and plus, that you're only one replying to this after some time, we will be putting you onto trial and see how you will progress. We're also faction with unique role play but we are also willing to accept people with sense of this role and help them out.
So, welcome aboard.
