Previous branch or organization: Gallic Royal Navy (during the War), IDF in the Bouvet division
Why do you want to join the GNI?
To serve my country with seriousness, to help it escape the grip of hypocrisy, laziness, and incompetence that successive governments have tightened. As a military man, I have witnessed helplessly the collapse of the Navy and the Kingdom that was supposed to guarantee us stability, future, and success. As a civilian, I have firsthand experienced the inefficiency of the confederation and the hypocritical servility of the Union. Seeing our beloved nation go from the foremost military and economic power in the sector to a caricature of itself, forced to compromise with the slimy Corsicans and those inferior Sirians, is humiliating for a true Gallic citizen. Through a fortuitous meeting with one of your operatives aboard the GNI/-Dunois, I have come to realize that I am not alone in my convictions, and that there are still bodies within the government, such as your organization, that uphold the Core Gallic Values and genuinely care about the well-being and future of Gallia.
BIOGRAPHY ON YOUR CHARACTER
Born in the Chartres Space Colony to a middle-class family, with parents working as civil employees within the bureaucratic state machinery.
Enlisted immediately after completing compulsory education to gain access to higher studies. Entered the officer school in Compiègne. Basic training followed by specialization in communication and reconaissance, subsequent attendance at the school of combat engineering (demolition)
Second Gallic War: assigned to the 5th Battalion, 3rd Armored Reconnaissance Regiment in Battlegroup Castries in Tau 23. Later transferred to the Tau 44 theater in Battlegroup Oblique, 5th Battalion Flechette. Field promotion to Corvette Captain for actions against Crayterian forces, followed by a leave in the Core Worlds (prior to Oblique's defection). Various assignments on internal fronts within the Core Worlds against the Council forces until the end of hostilities.
Forced discharge due to "structural reorganization and battlegroup dismantling," took advantage of protected job positions and was hired as a captain in IDF, Bouvet tourism division. Initially satisfied with his work, he viewed the company as a means of soft power to remind fellow citizens and demonstrate to the Sirians the cultural and intellectual superiority of the Gallia. However, excessive openings to external competitors and the realization that he was working for the same decadent elite that had led the nation to ruin caused him to fall into a state of disillusionment and angry depression towards the system.
Informal contacts with former comrades who shared his political beliefs and were dissatisfied with the political conditions in Gallia, linked to groups outside the law of a terrorist nature (Royalist). Despite an initial period of weakness, he reported the names of the traitors to the Gendarmerie. Contemplating voluntary exile rather than continuing to live in such a state, he had the aforementioned encounter with GNI operatives. From there, he decided to resume his military career outside of the Navy itself.

BIOGRAPHY ON YOUR CHARACTER
De Belmont was born on Nevers, Burgundy, raised planetside and later on entering officer courses at Avallon as her heritage and her family implored her to do; entered service as Enseigne de Vaisseau and saw action primarily in Bretonian space - Leeds, Cambridge and New London as well as a few deployments to Liberty - Bretonia and Bretonia - Rheinland border worlds, remaining in service until Bretonian campaign became untenable and Marine Royale retreated to Herbides. Known to have some service time in the Royal Enclave as she deemed returning home not particularly safe while the rebels were in power and times for hardline royalists were turbulent. There seems to be a good amount of effort to erase all traces of a certain period in life from Neural Net but it is known with certainty that for the last two years, De Belmont owned a small estate with three house staff and was drilling new blood looking to enlist in the Marine Nationale and notorious for her ruthless methods that are as close as possible to real engagements that are, however, never lethal for Aspirants - according to rumors, they were but, after the first precedent, de Belmont was severely reprimanded, and only her past service record saved her from discharge.
It's presumed that, tired of dealing with the greenhorns and looking for the real experience again, de Belmont seeks to re-enter active service.

BIOGRAPHY ON YOUR CHARACTER
Was born on planet Nevers and worked in an unloading port in my early years of being an adult. when I was 19, I heard about an Outcast raid that happened not to far from the planet and heard about the gallant victory that our navy had. When I heard about this, it made me want to join our navy and help defend our boarders from invaders like the Outcasts. The first chance I could I went to Compiegne Naval Academy where I studied and trained to be a Naval Officer. I was in a fighter at first, but I never got good at flying them, so they just stuck my on minor escort missions. During such mission we got raided by the Maquis and we lost a few escorts, the commanding officer died with in the first few minutes of the engagement. Everyone was disorganized and spread-out dropping like flies. I took charge of the remaining escorts and drove the Maquis away, granted at high cost. I got an award for that fight, I did not feel like I deserved it, and they asked me what I would like to do with my carrier. I informed them that I would like to command a ship of my own, so a few months later they put me in a Cruiser. Since then, I have pretty much been a glorified patroller in Ile-de-France never leaving the system. I want to do more than this, and I know that this is our home system but, the fight is elsewhere, and I want to be able to do more for Gallia then patrol.
