Senor, you made a great decision. Waiting is bad thing anyway. Never wait. Best things are never late anyway.
Lucrative is mucho nicer. You see, we are here and lucrative is there. And fun... it's here, but lucrative is... ahm... like there. Or was it here...? However, I hope you will have mucho more fun on your lucrative way.
Gracias for being honest, Senor *nods*. It leaves the door open, just for a case.
Hola, Senors! I am Alfonso Montez of the Corsairs. I am contacting you from Cadiz Base to reply to the recruitment transmission you sent out. I wish to join the glorious ranks of the Brotherhood.
I am currently 29 years young and am very skilled in tongue (and rhyming)! I can fight fairly well and is always willing to raid or attack any by any orders. I can also help in defending transports on Artifact runs too.
This transmission came through on the news broadcast on Cadiz a few days ago. The Brotherood's history is most intriguing to me and I like how they uphold Corsair virtues (honor, dignity and pride). To be apart of this ever expanding fellowship would be my future!
For a more personal background, I was born in dire emergency on Leon Base, but as the extreme radiation wasn't pleasing for a newborn, I was quickly transported to Crete where I was raised by my Aunt while my parents constantly fought on front lines. At the age of 13, I received the grave news that my parents were both killed in a Red Hessian bomber party after a devastating attack on Cadiz. My Aunt as well soon passed away and at the age of 14, I was put into an orphanage.
With cruel, cramped conditions, I was eager to escape the cluttered world and take to the frontier that my parents once loved so much, space! Then, at 21 years of age, I received a Legionnaire from my family's will. I took to the skies immediately and began simple scouting missions in the Omegas. After a few weeks, I had landed a room on Cadiz, which eventually became my new home. Since then, I have upgraded from my Legionnaire to a spiffy Centurion and am fighting every Outcast and Red Hessian I see with joy.
Now, as I come to an age of realization, I need to find a real cause. The constant fighting is great, but I am usually alone and my orders are usually left with minimal details and pointless patrols. I need this job to find purpose in a world full of lies.
With this, please consider my application! Hope to hear from you soon!

Buenos Dias compañeros!
-My full name is Laura Gallardo, i'm 28 years old and i'm from Crete.
-My Skills arent the best nor the worst. In fighter ships i do need a little bit of practice i have to admit,but i am a bit better in capitals (Cruiser + BS's).
-I chose the Brotherhood for a main reason,which is that i, as a proud Corsair, wish to not roam alone in this vast and dangerous system, but instead by being a member of a faithful and powerful brotherhood as TBH i',m sure our adventures would be alot more interesting as much as more enjoyable in everyway.
-I was born on planet Crete 28 years ago, my family used to be quite famous and rich by the time i got born so i could afford a good life with proper education. At the age of 15 years old my father let me drive my first ship, a Centurion, with him of course help me by remote control to manage to learn. But things got a bit complicated as i accidentally went out of RC range and straight into a Bounty Hunter which saw me as easy prey. My father very preocupied rushed to his Titan and ran to assist me as soon as possible and between the both of us we managed to defeat the enemy vessel. 3 years later on my birthday i've been given my own Titan and private flight lessons which were fun! But with time i became increasingly more interested in my father's "Praefect" cruiser class ship. So for the past 10 years i have been switching between my own Titan and assisting my father with his Cruiser until inevitably he died while on patrol which got ambushed by outcasts. Since then i understood the dangers this universe means and i have been training in both the Praefect and the Titan to withstand any enemy vessel in my way.
And without waste more time, here i say "Hasta luego" and hope to hear from you soon.
So hermano hermana, you think ya' have what it takes to be in the big leauges? This aint no field trip to malvada cloud as sure as hell no sausage dinner entiendes? It will be reviewed within 48 hours once I get my foot massage, but It looks good so far amigos. *A woman walks in* da hell ya' been!? alright hermano hermana be in touch with both of you soon.
All TBH members are pure Cretans, but you couldn't know it without asking, caramba! It's our tradition and it's hard to change. Sorry for rejecting your application, Senor. *sad*
...
Senorita Gallardo,
gracias for applying to TBH. Unfortunately, we have no need for captains now, as we mostly hit and run before our enemies manage to bring their heavy artillery. Of course, you will be most welcome to use your father's ship and support our raids to Cambridge, whenever you see us gathering at Cadiz base in O-5.
Get in contact with Senor Ladron - El Comisario HERE. He could maybe see about using your skills in our Public Service - brave Carabineros of 57th squad. But be careful: Carabineros are Corsair Police and you must learn Empire Laws first. Not easy, even I missed some, heh-heh...
Your skills:I am capable warrior. Trained into close range combat with my Sabre and Pistols. I prefer speed over strenght usually, but that not always works on our ships. As for space experience - I am trained to fly all ships that our Empire has build. From Legionnaire to Titan, from Imperator to Legate, and also our new Transport in abit. My tongue also pretty fast and sharp. I know how to talk with my hermanos with all respect they deserve, but I also know how to insult gringos who hate my people and my Empire in a smart and funny ways. And I dont know if this counts as a skill, but I can drink Rum all the day and still will have a sharp eye to shoot at cabrons.
Reason why you chose us: I want to represent my Family in the ranks of The Brotherhood. I want to serve my Empire as a whole. The Brotherhood proved a strong society of warriors, who defend our land, who protect our people and who punish our enemies. That alone makes me with to be part of them. But I also need to care for Lopez Family, so being some sort of embassador from them to TBH is another bonus. Oh, and of cource - glory. A lot glory.
Your biography (at least 10 lines):I can send you a saved page from my personal Journal about my bio HERE. I will send most needed part below, to keep on request of this form, however.
Ronaldo Lopez. Corsair ace and warrior. 25 years old. Son of Elder Lopez, leader of Lopez Familia. Mother is died from a disease when Ronaldo was 7, so she not had much influence on him. While father was too busy with Familia bisness, Ronaldo was left to himself. He spent his youths with other kids on Crete streets. No-one knowed he was son of Elder Lopez, and Ronaldo never told this. He wanted to be like all others and not had a wish to be threated as something better. Nowadays all know who is he, but Ronaldo still acting like he is the most common Corsair from most common family.
After 12th birthday he started to learn in combat arts. Close combat with his sabre or fists teached him to use not brutal force but speed and agility. Ronaldo prefers pistols instead of rifles and other two-handed weapons. He always wearing his favourite ''Black Blade'' sabre and ''Golden Blast'' pistol with him. He is deadly with both of them. Ronaldo killed many enemies not only with weapons from his space ships. Battles on boards of trade ships, space stations and even planets made him true warrior.
As all Corsairs, Ronaldo made his way to sector F2 in the Malvada cloud in age of 16 to make is adulthood initiation. Ship without shield and weapons, green nebula, artifacts, Bounty Hunters and Nomads around... He was forced to hide from enemies behind asteroids, escaping most radioactive zones and keeping eyes open all time to not get killed. But Ronaldo made his task well and returned back to Crete with artifact without being sterilized. From this moment he started his life as Corsair, fighing for the future.
I guess that will be all, unless you have more questions. Will await your reply.
Caramba, is that you, Ronaldino?? I knew you when you were just a little niño! Thank you Santa Muerte, you grown to an awesome young man! Of course you can join TBH, your application is approved!
Oh... and I was very sorry when your mother died. She was one remarkable women. She used to bring a light to any room she entered in, my dear niño. Ehmm... Ronaldo. Senor Lopez, to be more accurate. You behave so humble, like being from here, but you are actually from there. Or even there. Never mind, you are mucho welcome.
*Uses his hands to explain it better, but gives up and reaches OFF button with relief*
Why TBH: There comes a point in man's life where he seeks more than women, money and power. For me, I seek honor. For a long time, I was loyal only to the contract, and the bottom dollar was all it came down to. When I flew, I flew only in the name of money, or vengeance against those who had wronged me in the past. Now, I wish to fly in the name of honor, and pride in the Corsair Nation
History: If you wish to know about my past, I will tell you it all, starting from the time I was but a small child.
I grew up on Crete in a lower class family, never having much in the way of possessions, however between my mother and father working, there was all ways just enough to pay the bills, and put food on the table. We may have been poor in the way of money, but love was something we were never short on. I am the only child in the family, as my parents were struggling enough to support just the three of us, forbid another mouth to feed and clothe. As such, I received all of the attention, making my younger years very happy, despite the lack of money. Life was happy and satisfying for me, until the accident.....
On a usual Friday afternoon, I was sitting at home by myself, waiting for Mother to return home, as she was always the first home because she worked close by in the city. However, on that hot afternoon, no one came home until very late. I had fallen asleep on the kitchen table waiting by that point. I awoke to the thud of my father closing the door behind him. I looked up into his eyes, I knew something was wrong. "Aaron.... Your mother didn't make it home from work, there was an accident.."
Those were the words that closed the curtain on what was my old life.. Now Dad was never there anymore. He was working a new job just to provide for me. I never saw him anymore, money just turned up. I could do whatever I wanted, but It wasn't the same. Only seeing Dad once a fortnight was getting old. By this stage I was 16, almost a man. All of a sudden, Dad didn't come that weekend. The only thing that came home was a note. It read.
Dear Aaron,
You have never met me, and you probably never will for your own safety. Your father died protecting me. He did what he did out of honor, and pride in the great Corsair nation.. This is a gift from me to you. I suggest you use it to purchase a ship.
If your skills are even half as good as your fathers, you will find your way.
R
I dont know how this made me feel. At first, I was angry at my dad for leaving me, but then this rage faded into sadness, that we were so poor he had to put his life on the line protecting me. I made the resolve that I would make so much money, that when I started my own family that would never happen. I used the money to purchase my own Decurion and put my self through pilot school.
From then on my life only went in one direction: money. I was a soldier for hire, a contraband runner. You name it, I did it in exchange for money. I earned my way to the top until I owned a fighter of every class, with plenty of money to spare. However, even then I felt empty inside. There was something I was missing.. It wasn't love, as I had a partner who I loved very dearly.
Then it hit me one morning as I woke up. Shaking off the hangover, I realized what it was. I had no purpose, nothing to fight for anymore.
Now I wish to take to the skies again, not for money, but for honor. I wish to join my brothers in something greater than just money for toys and alcohol. I wish to fight in the name of our great nation, for my people.

Reason Why I chose you: I'm one of the last members of my familia, I'm being Threatened by the BHG almost everyday if I don't give them 1 million every day they will kill me and my last members of my Familia, So one day i stood up, tried to take the fight to them, Luckily 3 Bombers of the brotherhood came just in time when a BHG Cruiser came to take me down, the Brotherhood took it down like a fly, now I understand, Don't be a hero and try to do everything by yourself, do it with your brothers, so I chose the Brotherhood, to repay the favor they did to me.
Biography: My Familia Started when they broke out of slavery from the Outcasts, my Family was in slavery for 3 generations, until my grandfather started a Jailbreak, With honor and strength my Grandfather led a rebellion against the slavery and escaped Planet Malta with the outcasts burning and bleeding.
2 years later my grandfather met a beautiful Woman, together they married and had children, and so my father was born, he also was a strong man like my grandfather, also, same thing with my grandfather, married, had children and so was I born. I was born in Planet Crete, Sadly, My Mother died when she gave birth to me. at the age of 16, i got proper education and had wealth. One day my father went on an escort ship to Omicron Theta, as soon he jumped to theta, 5 BHG came out of nowhere and 2 Destroyer came in and attacked the Transport and my father. Sadly my father died and I had lost everything in crete, so I was moved to some unknown orphanage for me to continue to study, at the age of 19 I wanted to have revenge, so I paid for a flying school academy and a fighting academy from all the money my father had saved in his bank. when I came to Theta, they BHG ambushed me and threathened that they will kill me and the last members of my Familia, So I just made money somehow in weird ways you don't even wanna Know,
Until your brotherhood came and saved me and now i have enough courage to stand up and fight all who oppose me and my Familia.
