GCC|Amalfi Special ID - Fiorella de Marco - 04-20-2024
1. Forum name of the owner:
@Fiorella de Marco, true owner can be told via PM if necessary.
2. What exactly are you requesting?
SRP ID lines and ability to mount the Battleship Scanner (+, if it is possible, but necessarily vital - cruiser engines looking like OC snub/gb/transport engines). Credits can be taken from GCC|Amalfi.
Generous combat lines, yet outside of Omicron Alpha, my character rarely shoots first unless provoked. They serve as options to protect her vital interests, but I do not plan to use them 24/7.
![[+]](/forums/images/collapse_collapsed.png "[+]")
The Amalfi IDBounty contracts represent non-blanket Outcast vendettas against entities that have offended Outcasts or my own character. An option that might not be used very much, if ever.
Assisting allies is a powerful line, although Outcasts have far more enemies than allies. It is meant to represent the fact that my character is not raiding in Houses on her own. Only when coordinating with Rogues, Hackers, Xenos, etc, can pirate and attack inside of Houses.
Around Omicron Alpha, the Outcasts should be the most aggressive and destroy any ship they don't like - armed or not.
3. Exact name, identification and affiliation of the character:
Character name: Fiorella Arianna de Marco
Affiliation: Outcasts
4. Why is this request necessary for the continuation of this character's roleplay?
My character operates slightly differently from the other Outcasts and modified her ship to fly almost anywhere. Also, I cannot use Battleship Scanner on my current ID.
5. What short-term and long-term goals are you planning to achieve on this character?
My character's goals are divided into two areas - personal and professional. Her personal goals are tied to her innate curiosity about Sirius, its events, and its cultures, and they are unlikely to change.
Her professional goals are tied to spreading the Outcasts' influence around Sirius, negotiating trade deals, and general attempts to manipulate Outcast foes against each other. As she cannot cease being an Outcast, these goals are still valid, and she will continue to do so.
My character generally opposes aliens and their threat, mainly because they are a grave threat to the Outcasts' prosperity (people will not buy Cardamine or serve Outcasts if they are dead). Also, the Outcasts cannot control them, and Outcasts do not like to be controlled by or serve them.

7. Provide a cliffnote/summary for the links provided above.
1) serves as a primary thread regarding my character's information.
2) Purchasing the Amalfi was a key move to secure and modify it as her own private asset. Without compensating Malta for its loss, she would weaken her homeworld if the Amalfi's future modifications failed.
3), 4), and 5) - One of the critical principles in extending Amalfi's range was reducing its crew requirements, so an extensive automatization project was done. Alexandra Amelia provided necessary Outcast manpower and facilities, the Lane Hackers provided software, and the Bristol delivered all the essential components.
6), 7), and 8) - My character collaborated with the Starfliers from the start, interested in their work. Later, during their collaboration, the Starfliers produced their own prototype Rift Drive as a gift for her vessel, significantly extending her operating range.
When the Pulse ravaged the jump gate network, her rift drive was damaged, too, so she once again contacted the Starfliers to get her JD repaired.
9), 10), and 11) - While the initial idea was to use a more exotic power source to operate a more powerful scanner array on the Amalfi, it was later suggested to use two Modified Spyglass Scanners in tandem. One would be modified to operate with greater range at the cost of its inability to guide weaponry, while the other would operate as usual.
Two Minified Scanners were specially purchased with the permission of the Inner Circle, while the Lovelace Circle helped remedy some of the issues caused by Outcasts not being as proficient in the tech as the Lane Hackers.
8. How long has this character been building its backstory?
Roughly since the Fall of 2021, where this formerly PvP-centric character has become more nuanced.
9. If you feel that you would like to provide us with character references, specify whom.
I have interacted with many people while playing this character. I will name the most influential people regarding this request.
@Dhomie42 as Alexandra Amelia - a great teacher when I started playing this character.
@The Lane Hackers as @Raphael Drake and @Glass for interacting with my character constructively, thus influencing several decisions made here.
@BobMacaroni and @WiseTaurus as the Outcast leadership after the Hispania Imperial era ended.
