Tal "Underscore" Ravis is a Marine-turned-Freelancer who is the main protagonist of Discovery Freelancer.
Early Life
Tal was born on August 6th, 798 A.S. in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Planet Manhattan. The first of three children born to a disadvantaged family of blue-collar workers, he was also the least successful in comparison to his brothers Hudson, who became a Primary Fleet Liberty Navy Officer, and Xavier, who dealt in the lucrative platinum trade before joining the ALG. Indeed, he showed little potential in academics and labor skills, and upon graduating from high school at the age of 18, he found himself enlisting in the Libertonian Marine Corps for lack of anywhere else to go.
Service History
Tal turned out to be a rather unspectacular Marine, only able to obtain the rank of Lance Corporal in four years of service with a record littered with disciplinary infractions and subsequent demotions. Trained as a 61mm mortar operator while a qualified expert with his rifle, he was assigned to the desolate firing range and outpost at Twentynine Palms, on Planet Los Angeles, where he resided for the entirety of his four-year enlistment. When his enlistment was over, he abstained from reenlisting and instead opted to put an end to his active service.
Later Career
Once out of the Corps, he quickly realized that he'd need a method of providing for himself, but found out over the course of six months that he lacked the patience to fly freight, the temper and personality to be a cop, and the mechanical skills required to be a mechanic. After a slew of several more jobs that left him out of work in a matter of weeks, he decided upon Freelancing as a viable career path, and sought out jobs that involved the one thing he was good at: killing people.
Of course, with his luck, he never actually got a chance to shoot anybody despite his qualifications, instead landing a security job with the Core in Planet Nauru, where he resided in a small, insulated metal box for six months before returning home. Deciding to take a break from sand, bad smells, and general boredom, he signed on part-time to haul freight for the Gas Miners Guild.
