Background Information:Born on Nuremberg, Egon was the bastard child of a Rheinland politician and a representative of Daumann. Growing up with his mother, he learned from a young ago how you were not handed things, you earned them. Sometimes harshly. Working in the factories helping build various Military vehicles, he was constantly striving for the best and how to make an impression, often at the expense of others. Those he did not use for gain were few, but were men and women he held close to him. Trusting very few beyond his mother and select few, he seized an opportunity that forever changed his life. Catching word of his father's return to speak with more officials of Daumann, he hatched a plan to confront his father whom he only heard of but never met. Upon landing on the planet, his father met difficulty after difficulty, ranging from hour late conveys to rooms at his usual suite booked. Done with playing small games, he snuck into the conference center with which the meetings were taking place. As his father was walking out of one of the rooms, Egon acted - walking up to him, looking him in the eye, and telling him his identity and stabbing him in the eye. The result was a dead politician, with Rheinland military and Daumann officials watching horror, except for one person. A Hauptmann in the Rheinland military. Seeing potential in this young man, he visited him in the local jail 2 days later with an offer. Be freed and enlist, or remain and go on trial. A chance to prove himself once more, Egon made the obvious choice and enlisted. Finding a knack in the more brutal of tactics, he accomplished much and rose quickly within the ranks. Once he rose to the rank of Lieutenant, he was given a small unit to work with as infiltration specialists. Using his knowledge from his youth, and with the help of military engineers, he created his own variations of combat suits for his team. Ensuring that these suits would provide full body protection, as well as intimidate those in combat, his team became known as the Klinge Von Berlin, or Blades of Berlin. As his team returned victorious and beating the odds on numerous occasions, higher ranking officials took notice. He now serves as Hauptmann, replacing the man who freed him from imprisonment. If only they could find the body...
Basic Personality Traits:Rarely showing his face to his subordinates, Egon is methodical, efficient, and quick to act. Egon has and is eager to rise in rank, and will do whatever it takes to earn what he believes is his. Quick to dispatch those who oppose him, foreign or not, he is constantly calculating the best course to achieve victory. His superiors keep a close eye on him but remain impressed, and those beneath him learn to both fear and respect him. Rewarding achievement, and punishing blatant failure, his has one of the most efficient groups of men and women serving him.

Planet/Station of Origin: Born on Mainz Storage Facility, raised on Holstein.
Background Information: Uh, right. Well, my parents work as Daumann employees that are pushing forward with the terraforming of Holstein. While my mother was pregnant, she spent most of her time on Mainz, due to the risk of chemicals harming her child. So, Mainz became my birthplace and eventually my 'bus-stop' as I took Liners to New Berlin frequently for school. How my parents never saw any danger in that is beyond me, since I was terrified that we'd be attacked by Unioners or Hessians on the lanes.
But by blind luck, I survived passing High School then went on to do a traineeship on Mainz, then received a 12 month contract with their Human Resources department. By the time I finished that, I was 21 years of age. It was about this time I began to question my motives.
When you look out of the same window for a year, you really start to wonder what's out there. You start to wonder whether this is where you're supposed to be. I started wondering, a lot. Then, it eventually lead to me seeking different departments, jobs and occupations.
Basically, I freelanced for a while, taking on what jobs I could, which was usually menial cargo runs, courier services and resource pioneering. All of which got me out and about, but simply didn't feed my hunger for adventure. So, one thing lead to another and I found myself reading the Recruitment Advertisements and I simply couldn't stay away.
Basic Personality Traits: Adventurous, Intelligent and Youthful.
