Alexander Samuel Kingston was born on July 17th, 792 A.S. to Daniel James Kingston and Veronica Martin-Kingston. His father worked primarily as a business consultant for a Cambridge-based shipping company, and his mother was a student at Cambridge University. His father absolutely despised his job, and his mother finished with her PhD in medicine around his fourth birthday. She got a job as a nurse aboard Cambridge Research Station, and gave birth to Alex's twin brother and sister, Nicole and Trevor, not long after his fifth birthday. The two, a pair of identical twins, in their years after birth would soon look up to Alex for the knowledge and care that they needed, when their parents weren't off doing something else.
About a month after Alex's eighth birthday, the whole family moved to Planet Stuttgart, in the wake of Alex's father's dismissal from his job. They did what they could to make money and provide for themselves, but the wake of the Rheinland Government sweeping over their colonies took it's toll, and once the relations between Rheinland and the other houses came to an end, the family moved again to Planet Pittsburgh. There, they stayed for another ten years, where Alex and his father worked as mineral excavators, digging up the raw Boron that would fuel the planet's mining economy. When Alex's father got an opportunity to fly as a transport captain for BMM, he jumped at the chance, and the family moved one more to Planet Leeds, where despite the smoggy locale, was significantly better than Pittsburgh.
By this time, Alex had received his pilots license, and had bought himself a CTE-6000 "Eagle"-class Heavy Fighter, setting off on short trips to the nearby Tau systems to get a feel for both the fighter controls, and the space around him. He remained close to Leeds so he could continue to support his brother and sister. He signed on for a position as an escort pilot for Interspace Commerce, hoping the position would help him see the places he'd heard of from many other experienced freelancers. When the war between Kusari and Bretonia broke out, Interspace let him go, seeing no need for his expertise anymore.
Having been let go, Alex, seeing his homeland under attack, enlisted in the Bretonian Armed Forces to lend his hand to the defense. He fought alongside many other pilots, some of whom fought for the same reasons he did, while others fought because they savored the action. Regardless, the fight against Kusari was a bloody one, and despite his careful strictness to protocol, he found himself in many a dire situation, even beside his well trained comrades. He'd reached the rank of Commander in the Armed Forces before he'd decided that he'd had enough of the continual bloodshed against the Kusari Naval Forces. He resigned, and moved to Liberty, where he stayed for about a year, trying his best to enjoy the quiet life.
He found no such enjoyment. While he was glad to be off the battleground of Leeds, the quiet was what irked him the most, which prompted him to apply for the Liberty Navy's Primary Fleet. Alongside another Cadet, Benjamin Cohen, he was accepted, and slowly, but steadily, rose through the ranks. While his first few weeks under the Navy's banner weren't all too impressive, his constant patrol reports and dedication to duties helped him ascend. It wasn't long before Alex was a keen model to those around him, inspiring recruits and always keeping the spirit of victory alive.
Less than a month before his 31st birthday, he was injured in an off-duty attack which ended with a shattered fibula and a gunshot wound to his shoulder, forcing him out of action and on leave for nearly two weeks. Through his time off duty, he spent the majority of it at his home on Denver, and what time he didn't, he spent at a hospital not far away. When he returned to active duty, he was kept on watch, his wounds while healed still showed tension that required him to work lighter than he usually did.
Not long after he was pulled back into service, Kingston applied for the Navy's External Security and Research Division, believing that his time in the service, as well as his dedication to his duty and consistency, would prove useful to the defense of Liberty. This transfer to the E.S.R.D. proved helpful in the wake of the Navy's exploration of the New York Anomaly, which appeared in front of the capital on July 17th, 823 A.S.. Alongside Lt. Cmdr. Jason Hirlerman, Lieutenant Ryan Dagnino and Admiral Natalie Reaser aboard the L.N.S. Nevada, they proceeded through. The encounter with alien force, alongside those of the other three houses and the Order, was grueling to say the least, and Kingston was eventually shot down while attempting to cover the H.M.S. Dauntless' retreat after the main objective was completed.
He was pulled in, returned to Liberty alongside Lt. Cmdr. Hirlerman, Lt. Dagnino and Admiral Reaser, having all gone through screening on the Cambridge Institute to clear for nomad infection. After the operation, they were all returned to Liberty, the remaining Navy pilots who fell in the fight having been returned by a rather selfless Order Colonel named Jeremy Hunter. After he returned to Manhattan, he was contacted by Hunter himself, who met him in California. They discussed the details, both overlying and underlying, of the scene they witnessed in Major.
After the end of the war, Kingston languished back in his position as a respected Naval officer, and with the growing prominence of the Navy's Fifth Fleet, he moved for a transfer to their ranks to oversee a new era of Naval personnel. He serves primarily as a command officer, while retaining his levels of clearance for more high-profile operations.

Well,to start somewhere: When i was born on Pittsburgh, my parents were rather poor logistic officers. Life wasn´t bad, but even as a little child,i used to look up to the all the policemen and soldiers that were fighting for Liberty. As i grew up, i saved all money i could get to afford some fighting training at station West Point. During my training,i met my Valeria Filch. After an accident during a fight, where I was seriously injured, she started to protect me, just like a little sister. She taught me many things about political conflicts, fighting and even the nomads. Some time ago, she had the idea to join the 5th fleet during their recruitment. Thanks to her, i now know that 5th fleet is exactly what i was looking for, i want to fight for - and with them, side by side.

Awards received so far during his career in the navy:
Ignacio Rivera was born on Los Angeles to a father and mother working for BMM and DSE respectively. Unusually fascinated with space, he spent what waking hours he could learning, and departed to space when he could. He applied to West Point's pilot training program as soon as he could, graduating with high honors for a civilian, though enlisted almost as soon as he'd left. Always energetic, Ignacio remained a high mood wherever he was, whether it be at home or on the front line in New London. He later applied for the Fifth Fleet half a year out of West Point, joining and serving on the front alongside many decorated individuals.
Ignacio took part in the Battle of New London, running combat air patrol for the brave bomber pilots taking on the Royal Siege Machine. After New London, he returned home, stationed aboard the Omaha, and spending the rest of his service in the war helping to track down and capture the roaming Battleship Carcassonne. After being awarded for his gallantry along with every other member of the LAF, Ignacio took a more quiet role, serving the Fifth Fleet more tactfully and devotedly, though still letting his charm influence his actions.
