However, his skills as an technician or commander are impressive.
Background Information:
Geoffrey Enfield was born at Planet Cambridge with higher working class parents; his farther was a Bretonian citizen working as a inter-colony Gateway mechanic and His mother immigrating from Rheinland under contract as a Rheinland Embassy Consultant.
Although risked being born with mental defects, he broke though those chances and grew up normal with some social differences. People who met him, altered their stance and adapted with him, seeing though his craziness and by looking at his split personality though public places and home.
As a student at a public high school called LSA, Geoffrey studied multiple GCSE courses in weapon and augmentation design, but two GCSE courses in military history and engineering. His aim was to work for a R&D industry. Graduating around grade B's and A's through all but one. His Military History GCSE was given an A* through simulation trials. After leaving LSA High school, he went and studied at LSA 6th form for two years before moving onto Oxford University Atmospheric orbital Station .
Consulting with his mother, he asked her if her employer, Head minister of the Rheinland immigration office of Cambridge, to see if he was legible to pass for citizenship in Rheinland. With results almost perfect, he was presented his Visa and papers ready for Rheinland citizenship and was given the royal Bretonian stamp of emigration approval.
After the a few months of settling in Rheinland on planet Stuttgart, He was contacted by a Comm-link from a R&D firm called **[REDACTED]** and took luck of a high paying job. With many breakthroughs in Tachyon and Bio-Augmentation research deemed too dangerous for public knowledge, a letter from the small R&D firm called "Munster" within the Corporation had claimed that he must no longer work on his current projects and take this offer of **[REDACTED]** Million USC before leaving **[REDACTED]** R&D.
After some job hunting, he finally thought it was time to see what his research had been succeeded too, joining the Military Cadets academy of Rheinland at Planet New Berlin, He passed through many tests and exercises with ease. Leaving his position open for later life. While at Stuttgart for the next earth year, he felt his life couldn't just live on pillows of credits alone. Alas he felt that joining the military was his last slot for his life to become a true Rheinlander.

He's just a bit different.
Taking orders or suggesting tactics. But survival of crew members and Co-soldiers/Marines are a priority.

I think she loved him because she has take the name of that man, Latombe. It’s wasn’t a problem for our family until the gallic force invaded bretonia. Try to trade something in Bretonia with a gallic name and you will understand. My grand father, my father and me did business between Bretonia and Rheinland. It was a little company and the f… the Hessians didn’t help us too.
I made the decision to change my name without to tell it to my old mother, she won’t understand, and now I have lost all, the company and my father in a Hessian attack. My brother, Erwin, had the courage to take a Daumann's License to reconstruct the family company. I want to protect him and i don't want to see an another feel the same pain. The best way to reach this goal it's to join the RM.

Planet/Station of Origin:
Station Leipzig
Background Information: Bio of "Flieger" Lutz Torwald (currently doing training aboard the Wotan) Lutz was born on station Leipzig in the Dresden system on the 21st August 795 A.S. Being a healthy child , from birth on until he reached the age of 5. Doctor's on New Berlin found out that the bad air on the station had damaged his lungs and he had to stay at the hospital for 2 week's.
Normally that would not be a problem but for a 5 year old child, woes parents had to work in an entirely different system, it was quite a hard time. His mother Sabine decided that her parents should take care of him.
So he after getting out of the hospital he did not move back to Leipzig but stayed with his grandparents on New Berlin. He visited the New Berlin primary and secondary school from 801 A.S. to 811 A.S.
He was good in school ,especially enjoying history class, but never had much friend's. He was not a talkative guy and so he kept playing alone most of the time. Since mother and his father Ulrich both worked on Leipzig and they were only visiting him once a week.
Though being good in school, everything was taking Lutz towards a job at DHC. Working for Daumann was not considered , a good job, among most Rheinlanders but there were little choices if you lacked the money.
Only the richer families could afford to send their children to university, or "buy" them a place in one of the large offices of Republican or ALG. While only a few "gifted" pupil from his school were selected for better career's Lutz and most others were pushed into the worker class. Doing the "dirty" work for the aristocracy on New Berlin.
So without much fund's, or choices Lutz was kind of stuck as trainee for an engineer job at Leipzig. Learning to work with heavy machines, operate various systems aboard the station and maintaining the ship's was a good education for him. Tough he was not satisfied with his life.
Living on a mining station was one above all else, dirty and unhealthy. Most of the miner's simply walked everywhere with their dusty clothes either not wanting to change them, or not able to because of the lack of equipment and money. The hot air from the smelters found its way into the last corner of the station. The damaged air filters were barely keeping up with keeping the oxygen level above minimum. End even in the bar you could smell that all to familiar stench of melting cooper ore and smoke.
Despite all this Lutz managed to stay more or less healthy. Using most of his free time to learn about new technologies and saving every cent to finally get of the station. Though multiple application's to work elsewhere had already been shoot down by Daumann.
814 A.S. was a hard year for Lutz. At first loosing both his parents by an accident, caused by outdated and not maintained equipment.
Sabine and Ulrich were working on a smelter inside the C section, as a coworker overcharged his plasma torch, which lead to a chain reaction and to an explosion of not only the plasma torch but also surrounding mox container's, which were actually stored there without permission.
Ontop of his loss, the station leadership demanded Lutz's team of mechanics and engineers to"clean up the mess that his parent's left behind" to quote one of them. So without any "help" or at least some friend's that would help him over it Lutz was getting more worried that he might end in much the same way his parent's did.
To die for a company which cared so little for their employees was not something he would let happen. He tried to apply for a job at the Ring, but given his background and the lack of founds to bribe his way there, his application was turned down and instead a fresh graduated student from New Berlin was getting the job.
Lutz felt left alone, became sick soon afterwards and was barely able to afford a ticket to New Berlin. Arriving there he was going "home" to his grandparent's to look for help.
His grandmother was taking care of him, getting him healthy and back into shape again.
In 815 A.S. nearly one year after he called in sick, he returned to Leipzig and worked there until 818 A.S.
Having shipped most of the machines and other equipment already, Daumann was loading some last transports to bring all valuable goods to the Ring.
Lucky as he was Lutz was assigned to load one of the transports, and fly to the Ring with it to help unloading. Just as they had left the Dresden system, the Hessians made their move and began their assault on Leipzig.
After the loss of Leipzig he was without a job, without a proper home, so he returned to the only place he knew. His grandparent's house.
Much other workers re applied to work on either Briesen in omega 7 or Rugen in Omega 3. But Lutz did not have the will to return into the slavery of Daumann. He was staying with his grandparents for a few month's until he had some serious arguments with his grandfather.
His grandfather was always helping him out, being a veteran of the Military, he was sometimes very strict but non the less a lovely old man. One day he was dropping one of his usual sentences: "In the old times it was better, under the Kaiser's rule we had enough to eat and nearly everyone had work. We may were not as free as we are now with the democracy but it were better times."
Suddenly Lutz raised his voice. Commenting harshly on this, the two ended up in a fierce argument about politic's.
A few days later after Lutz had calmed down a bit they spoke again. After hearing Lutz out about working for Daumann again both decided that it would do him no good to reapply for a place on a DHC station.
Left without to many choices he tried his luck by the only employer his grandfather trusted. The Rheinland Military.

Name: Lukas Tchaykovsky Rank: Gefreiter Age: 26 Height: 180 cm Weight: 82 kg Hair color: Black Eye color: Green Planet/Station of Origin: deep space - born on a refugee transport.
Background Information: Lukas was born to a refugee, Lisa Tchaykovsky, father unknown. They settled on New Berlin after the First Contact with Nomad threat, mother was an Order operative and died during the siege of Toledo. Lukas worked for the Daumann Heavy Constructions since then, and despite being approached by Order operatives in order to be enlisted there, refused to comply, denouncing them to local authorities. Never had any problems with the law. Trained to fly with the traders as an escort, mostly on light fighters of Zoner origin. Feels a Rheinlander, although his origin is most likely connected to Brettonia. In local community has a reputation of a patriot, always putting the interests of his nation and company before his own.
"I always wanted to serve the Vaterland and I feel that just working for them is not enough. I may lack experience as a fighter pilot, but you'll find I'm a quick learner. I can finance my equipment, as well as provide finacial support to the navy if need be." - LT
Basic Personality Traits:"The son of thunder" as they call him sometimes, Lukas is explosive, but never goes beyond what has to be done. A born leader, quick learner, very talkative and charismatic. A patriot with deeply rooted sense of loyalty to his nation, company and compatriots. Rarely works for his own benefit, but is an opportunist: if some money is easily gained in addition to helping his company, he'll take the chance, rather then go the easier route.
Name: Maximilian Meyer Rank: Flieger Age: 26 Height: 1,85 meters Weight: 85 kilograms Hair Color: Brown Eye Color: Brown Planet/Station of Origin: Planet Hamburg
Background Information:
I was born on August 17. 794 A.S. on Planet Hamburg as the oldest child to mother called Irmingard and father called Werner. My mother works as a history professor in Hochblassen Gymnasium and my father works as a flight instructor for small craft vessels ranging from fighters to bombers and small cargo freighters in Hochblassen academy of astronautics in city of Hochblassen. I also have siblings, one younger brother called Peter, third child to our parents, and two sisters called Ivonne, second child, and Monika, fourth child.
I started my education at age 6. I finished primary school called Ersbergschule, at the age of 14, and went to secondary (high) school called Überlingen Gymnasium. It was my opinion that I shouldn't go to the same school where my mother was teaching because that could cause conflict of interest for her and I could get accused for having favoritism by other students. To prevent any necessary problems to me and my mother I decided to go to cities other school and I was supported by both my mother and my father. Four years later i finished secondary school and along with it I also finished Hochblassen academy of astronautics under training of my father and learned to operate fighter, bomber and freighter class vessels.
At the age of 18, I decided to venture into space and went to Bergische college for deep space exploration, surveying and mining thinking that would be the closest place to space one civilian could get to. The college was hard and it lasted for six long years. During that time we had prove our selves in practice that we truly learned everything college thought us. And that's where my experience from Hochblassen academy of astronautics came in handy because the space was occasionally raided by various pirate groups like Red Hessians, Unioners and many lonely pirates looking to score a quick cash or an easy kill on the young, inexperienced and unexpected students and cadets. Since before my arrival there have been recorded a few students deaths by those pirates groups and those pirates thought that this raid would be just another easy picking. But that's where they were wrong, because their pirating skills were good for plundering regular civilians only and their combat skills were horrific at best. Besides me, the only other pilot with experience was our mining instructor, Klaas Heufer. We flew together and acted as wingmans to each other. After a not so long fight we destroyed two pirate fighter class vessels and scared other three into retreating. Since they encountered more resistance then usual they pulled back before it was to late for the rest of the surviving pirates. I had more encounters with other pirates during my six years of training but those encounters were nothing more then chasing them off because as soon as they recognized Klaas and me flying ships to intercept them they turned back, probably because they learned their lesson the first time. From then on they didn't try to pirate anymore cadets attending Bergische college. At this point It hit me, my fighter skills to good to be wasted on mining and with adequate guidance could also be used for other purposes, but at that time I didn't know where to use them.
After finishing college, at the age of 24, I started prospecting less explored parts of Rheinland systems. The job, even thou not paid to much, was enough to meet my credit demands. My exploration missions consisted of flying to remote parts of Rheinland and scanning for possible mining deposits in endless asteroids fields in our house space and then returning to my home planet Hamburg. If I found anything I would sell it to one of the mining contractors. I've been doing this job for two years and learned to deal with close encounters and tough situation with pirates. One days after coming back home I witnessed first hand Libertonian bombardement of my home planet and destruction they caused, plasma holes throughout my home city some even near my mothers school, and thought if only I had a suitable ship for that situation, maybe I could have done something. But then it hit me, one man cannot win a war, but one man can make a difference in it's outcome.
Day after the attack, I finally realised that my skills would be of way better use to Rheinland Military. I spoke with my family and even thou they hesitated at the beginning they approved my request to go to recruiting center to join Rheinland Military and teach some of those Libertonians that Rheinlanders are tough people and that we never crumble when being outnumbered and outgunned. The same counts not just for them, but for all Rheinland pirate groups, even those I met during my college days. I bet they still remember the miner who beated them with a simple mining ship, but with a little luck they will soon meet me in a real combat and be judged for crimes they committed upon Rheinland citizens.
Basic Personality Traits:
Patient and strategic at one point, quick-thinking and even quicker reacting depending on the situation at hand, firm and loyal to the cause, strong spirited, adamant and never backing down under pressure.
Discovery Forum Name: Hans von Goeben
Name: Franz.Hegemann
Rank: Flieger
S.K.Y.P.E designation: Felix Becker
Age: 19 years and 5 months
Height: 196 cm
Weight: 85,7 kg
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Green
Planet/Station of Origin: Planet Stuttgart, Stuttgart System
Background Information:
Franz Hegemann was born into a farmer family on Planet Stuttgart as the fourth child of the Stuttgartian Farmer Maria Schöner and his father Jonas Hegemann, a buisness man from New Berlin. Both got known each other on a vacation on Planet Baden Baden and married a year later. Jonas Hegemann gave up his private, one-man company on New Berlin and moved in the farm of Maria Hegemann. Together, they are running the farm in the 8th generation (Schöner's blood line) now and are making a good living from the fruits of their hard work there (at least for Stuttgartian conditions).
Franz had a normal childhood with friends and some standard teen troubles on Stuttgart. He went to Kindergarten, School and Highschool where he graduated with average marks. Since he saw a spaceport the first time, his wish has ever been to fly into the skies and see more than the farm and the local small town from there. Therefore, after finishing his education, Franz was looking for a job to please this wish.
But, as the family grew over time, the money got less for every child. Franz' two older sisters Anne and Magdalena went to university on New Berlin, and his brother Bernhard currently learns to become an agrarian economist. Things seemed pretty tough for Franz to get a higher education like his sisters to reach his dream job, piloting a space craft...but he did not aim that high, because the stars were closer than thought.
The only logical conclusion for Franz was clear: He was able to combine his old wish to travel and explore space with the his upcoming patriotism to defend his family, planet and nation against those hostile beings from other corners of Sirius AND safe his family urgently needed money:
After training hard to pass the phsyical exmanination with best results, he finally took the courage to go to the next recruitment center in town to enlist as a new recruit in the Military.
Basic Personality Traits:
Patriotic, innovative, loyal, dutiful, good social abilities; a bit lazy, talkactive, sometimes hesitant in stress situations.

For how long have you been playing on Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 ? I have been playing FL Discovery for about 2 years now, with some breaks due to studying.
What made you come play on Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 ? A good school friend of mine randomly had shown me Freelancer on a LAN party about 2 and a half years ago. I got interested and tested it in Singleplayer. I was fascinated by that "Space RP" thing (this genre is pretty unique, as we all know) and tried out some mods...and got the Discovery mod which I am playing until this day. In my opinion, it is the best mod for FL thanks to its depth and continuous story line.
What other characters do you have on the Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 server? I got my Freelancer "Hans von Goeben", a RepEx Stork named "Hans.Schmidt", the Daumann miner "Aluminium_Inc." and three Judges ships
What OOC reason do you have for joining the RM?
My primary reason is that I want to be part of an active military organisation.
Until this point, I have only played civilian roles, or (in case of The Judges) freelancing pilots (So, no worries, I am not new to fighting). Now, seeing those battles of the Rheinland Military made me think of joining this organisation months ago due to the first named reason. The organisation in battle is good, cooperation exists and there is a good roleplay behind it (I do not want to name any other military organisations in this game which lack those qualities...). So, your institution would be the best choice for me. And since I am German myself, I like the idea to defend "Future Space Germany" with one of my characters ^^
Rank: Hauptmann Name: Annika Meyer Age: 25 Height: 65cm Weight: 49kg Hair Color: Light brown Eye Color: Blue
Planet/Station of Origin: New Berlin
Brief Personal History:
Annika was born to a stable middle class family, her mother a clerk in a government office, and her father a squad commander with the Rheinland Federal Police. The stable nature of Annika's home ensured that she never had much trouble from people, or circumstance as she was growing up, and those who bothered her, even bullies or people she formed rivalries with, always seemed to back off eventually, for some reason.
Additionally, the loyalty of Annika's parents, combined with their well-off state, served to isolate her from any feeling of sympathy or compassion for those living in poverty or actively opposing the government.
Once Annika completed her first years of schooling and reached adolescence her parents moved to enroll her in a prestigious military school system where she remained from age twelve until she transferred directly to the Rheinwehr Ground Forces at eighteen.
After spending two years as a non-commissioned officer, Annika put in a transfer request that saw her moved to the Rheinwehr's Fleet Officer school, where she spent another four years before finally transferring to the Rheinwehr Fleet to assume her first in-field command position.
