Bio:
Born on Manhattan, Ryan's been alive long enough to see the greatness of Liberty, along with its darker sides. Through his own endeavours and some funding from his now deceased parents, Ryan was able to purchase a cheap ship. Thus began his life as a freelancer.
Though Ryan started out doing smaller deliveries throughout New York, he soon realized that the money, and fun, was in the bounties which were put out for the destruction of pirate ships. After earning enough money, Ryan was able to get a combat capable ship and proceeded to run missions for a few years.
One day, Ryan received a mission from one of his Liberty Navy contacts. According to the contact, the Liberty Navy had received anonymous intel that there was a local pirate leader in the Texas system who would be traveling with a very light escort. The LPI being busy elsewhere and the mission not requiring the Navy's force, Ryan took on the mission and soon departed to the area the intel provided.
Upon arriving, Ryan was in for a huge surprise. The intel was false, a trap set up by Rheinland Military units. They were hoping to engage outnumbered Liberty forces, a freelancer certainly wasn't what they were looking for. However, Ryan was a sort of loose end, they couldn't just let him go as he would tip off the Liberty Navy. Ryan didn't have any chance of making it out alive, but he did his best to avoid enough damage long enough to get a distress call out.
It wasn't long before Ryan's hull fell apart, Ryan being 'safely' jettisoned out of the exploding ship. Ryan had done his best to broadcast the transmission, but whether or not anyone had been able to pick it up was his concern.
Luckily for Ryan, the contact which gave him the mission hadn't fully fallen for the false intel. Just as the Rheinland ships were going to tractor in Ryan's escape pod, multiple Liberty Navy vessels appeared and began to engage the Rheinland ships. The tables turned, the Rheinland ships began a fast retreat, entirely forgetting about their pray which lie stranded between the volleys of shots between the two groups.
Ryan soon felt the pull of a Liberty Navy vessel's tractor and was soon in safe hands. His ship, however, was gone. Almost all of his money was invested into it, leaving Ryan with a small amount of cash and his first ship, which still sat in a Manhattan hangar.
Ryan returned to running freelance missions for the Liberty Forces, though less profitable ones now that hes stuck with a far older ship. Thankful for their aid, and being tired of the freelancer life, Ryan has applied to the Liberty Navy with the hopes of joining their ranks.
