Planet/Station of Origin: Planet Hamburg
Background Information:
Steiner, being born on Planet Hamburg, had parents employed in Republican Shipping. Naturally, after a run and Steiner being with relatives, they'd come back with stories to tell, some exaggerated, some not. Karl was intrigued by the tales he heard. After he finished primary education, he went to flight school to learn how to pilot a space ship. At first, he did a little bit of trading, such as his parents did before him. They were excited, and eagerly helped him buy his own freighter, a somewhat used Humpback freighter, from a ship dealer on Hamburg.
After a couple years, he got tired of trading. It was boring, to him, long expanses of time with little to no interaction or anything to do. It wasn't before long when he went off, trying to find other ventures of work. He tried mining for a while, the pay was decent, but he found it just as boring as trading. One day, he noticed a recruitment add for the Rheinland Military. It piqued his interest, as not only the promised pay was good, it also was for, what he thought, was a good cause, one where he can not only make money for himself, assist civilians in trouble, but hopefully, not be bored to tears. "Maybe", he thought, "This is where I belong?"
And here he is now, in the process of enlisting in the military.
Basic Personality Traits: Quick-witted, stern (but not unfair), calm, tactical mind, can be disobedient at times, when he feels things like retreating will cost the lives of civilians, intelligent.

For how long have you been playing on Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 ?
I have been playing for a total of around five years. Somewhat on and off. Only had just registered in 2008, due to one of the admins deleting my account after I had registered it, a couple years before.
What made you come play on Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 ?
Bought Freelancer. Naturally, I looked for additional content to play, and then I started playing multiplayer, since that's what most of them were for.
What other characters do you have on the Discovery Freelancer RP 24/7 server?
Robert Foster, a Cerberus member. Jacobi Braun, an Omicroner.
Overall? I've had numerous characters, including a [KNF] character, back under LoTeK. They're all mostly wiped by the server, as well as forgotten.
What OOC reason do you have for joining the RM?
I was actually interested in joining a couple years ago, under Virus, but never got around to it. Then I quit Discovery for a couple years to do other things, but the interest hasn't been dissolved. I was also invited.
Note on the backstory, I wanted something that isn't your usual cliche crap, no natural-born ability to fly like a genius, nor anything unrealistically epic. So I decided to go with what seems like a normal person moving through their life, who ends up where they are. I might end up rewriting the backstory, as was done several times throughout this post.
