Gustav Ben as "Skasi" - Skasi - 07-05-2008
Short biography. Things may be updated anytime.
Name: Gustav Ben; known as "Skasi"
Born: 790 A.S. in New Berlin
Constitution: "Middle-sized tall"
Born 790 A.S. in New Berlin, Gustav grew up just like most "middle class" workers did. He went to school for some years and was looking forward in renting an apartment when time comes. His parents have been working all day long (doing whatever jobs they found) and tried to support Gustav as much as they could - not caring much about themselves.
In 814 A.S. (one year after Gustav lost his parents) he met Dagmund Neeman - an exJunker. Together they managed to make their way into space and with Neemans experience earned enough money to accomplish "Nees" lifelong dream - a nice little pub and independence. With Neeman as a manager and Skasi as the supplier in goods as brew and customers they happen to stand against all those big multisectoral concerns.
But at the end of 816 A.S. authorities charged Neeman for 1'503'768 Credits thus ruining his reputation, career and lifelong dream. The pub had to be minimized and as profit decreased every month, Gustav - in Nees pub only known as Skasi - had to leave and live his own life. As a "restitution" he was allowed to keep (and maintain) Neemans old Combat Service Vehicle.
It was still 816; An application for Republican Express Corporation was accepted quickly and followed just as fast by his resignation. After only a few trips Gustav sold off his ship on loan to the closest Junker base. He was in urgent need of money. Or rather Neeman was to avoid bankruptcy, which can be dangerous on New Berlin.
Retrieving his CSV Gustav headed for Liberty and Bretonia, trading outside Rheinland territory and away from RepEx. He started living a Junkers life, collecting scrap metal, patrolling and trading between their bases exploiting every opportunity of profit. Old friends of Nee supported him.
Soon - in 817 A.S. - he had saved up enough credits for the final of several extensions on his ship's cargo hold. It really felt clumsy now. Nearly, just nearly like the liner he piloted. Once again Gustav was flying a real hauler
