The history of E.T.

[Gladen]

//Right guys, this is my first go ever at a RP story. I did some research and hope I stuck to the rules. Please feel free to give me any comments or critics, as long you can provide with some argumentation to go with that.

Darryl Eric Tomas Rheinhart, a.k.a. "E.T.", 24 years old

Darryl's father, Ron Heinrich Rheinhart, was born in the year 757 A.S. on planet Stuttgart. He has always been a farmer. He was 18 years old when they were deserted by their government and Synth Foods, Inc. took control over planet Stuttgart. Young and rebellious as he was, and thinking he could protect his parents this way, he joined the LWB.

Stationed at Vogtland Base, he quickly became involved in an romantic affair with his synthetic marijuana dealer Kimbery Hughes. They first met in the smoker's lounge of Vogtland base. Kim was a beautiful woman, just 20 years old at the time. She had glowing dark blonde hair that draped the right side of her face, covering one goldenbrown eye and swirling down in beautiful curls to her ample bossom. Her lips were full and in a deep shade of red. Her gaze was deep and unnerving. The high-heeled shoes she stood on were as black as the leather suit she wore, tightly wrapped around her sand-figure body.

She and Ron were introduced by a friend of Ron's, Reneé. Ron had asked him about his source for weed, so Reneé set them up. Ron was as mesmerised by Kim as she was with him. He had the vintage farmer-boy look: short just-out-of-bed-look blond hair, bright blue eyes, a distinctive jaw-line, and a healthy look. His broad shoulders and tanned skin gave away that he had been working on the fields all his life. Wearing only brown boots, blue jeans, and a just-a-little-too-tight white tank top, it was hard for Kim to take her eyes of him.

It was already at the second time they met when their relationship went from dealer/buyer to lovers. And only half a year later, she found herself pregnant. As the life as dealer and LWB-member gave little room for parenting, they fled the Rheinland system in 776 A.S. and went back to Kim's family living on planet Cambridge. Her father was a wealthy man with a lot of influence owning one of Bretonia's biggest law firms. She ran off at the age of 17 because, unlike her parents, she didn't want to go to college and university to spend half her life studying what she was going to do for the other half of her life.

But with the situation now changed, the lovers were taken under the wings of Kim's parents. They married when Kim was 8 months pregnant, and 3 weeks later, on June 20th, 777 A.S., Tomas Martin Rheinhart first opened his eyes to the world.

They lived in the mansion of Kim's parents for 8 more years before finding a place of their own in Cambridge. Kim had gone, on continuous pressing of her father when they still lived there, to law school. When she graduated she quickly followed into her father's footsteps and started using the power of her father's company to lobby for the legalization of Max Cryer's synthetic marijuana.

Ron, with Kim's busy life, was mainly tasked to take care of Tomas. In his rare spare time he wrote a book about his childhood on planet Stuttgart and the tensions between the planet's inhabitants, Rheinland government, and Synth Foods, Inc. The book became a best-seller in Rheinland, Liberty, and Bretonia. And although it is rumoured that all profit from royalties is donated to the LWB, this has never been proven and always been denied.

Tomas grew up with a close relationship between him and his parents. And his parents loved him to bits with his never-failing enthusiasm and kindness. His bright blue eyes inherited from his father combined with his joyful personality made for the most adorable child.

On the third weekend in June, 789 A.S., Tomas celebrated his 12th birthday party. It would be a trip to planet New London with Grandpa Hughes, all funded by him of course. However, the transporter's board computer malfunctioned upon landing on planet New London and caused a tragic accident with the death of 4 people, including Tomas and his grandfather.

Mortified by what had happened, Ron and Kim fell in a great depression. Kim, not only having lost her only son, but also her father, blocked all emotions. Focused only on work as that kept her mind clear of unwanted memories or thoughts, and at the same time it was the strongest link with her father she had left as she tried to continue his work.

But life carried on, and by no choice the pain got ever so little lighter by the day as they realized the world didn't just stop for them. Slowly they started to pick up their lives again. And five years later, Kim found out that she was pregnant again. It was unexpected, but a great thing. It brought back a bit of the the love and happiness they'd lost five years ago. And on October 17th, 795 A.S. Darryl Eric Tomas Rheinhart was born.

Darryl had a great childhood. The success of his parents and the lush environment of Cambridge made for an easy life. He went to the best schools money could get. Because of his love for space, and the initials of his middle names, by the time he reached high school, he was mostly known as "E.T."
During his college years, Darryl has always been a laid-back guy. Never over-exited or overly-apathetic about anything. He knows that everything works itself out in the very end. That's probably why he only scored mediocre throughout his school years.

But nevertheless he had a great time. With his mother's dark blonde hair and deep, golden-brown eyes, and his father's physical build, he's always been a handsome lad. He was one of the 'popular guys' in teenage years and had no scarce of men nor women. He inherited his interest for the "Mary Jane" from his parents. But, also like his parents, he never uses it when he has obligations to fulfill and doesn't let it interfere with his daily life. He's as kind as open-minded, and overall a good man.

He doesn't like doing things he isn't good at, but he is extreme good in things he does like. One of his gifts is the power of speech. He knows how to use words and phrase them in such a way that he can always persuade people into doing what he wants, and function as great mediator between different people.

After he graduated from Sales, Trade, and Marketing in 799 A.S. he got a job as account manager. It was at a big local Marketing and Communications bureau in the heart of New London. But he quickly found out that this is not the way he wanted to spend his life. Always intrigued by the mystical beauty of space, and driven by his love for sales and profit, he decided to go into interplanetary trade.

Trying to be independent from his parents, he accepted no funds from them to get his plan of the ground, literally. He instead bought his own ship, the B-27-E Clydesdale, which he called Gladen. And after a lot of research, left for his very first trade mission.

That was only two years ago, and meanwhile he has upgraded to the CT-53 Heron, or "Wraken", as her name is. He lives on that thing. With the interior industrial-style decorated and with psychedelic ornaments and gifts he has received from exotic trade-partners and friends on far away worlds, it has become his home. It is here where he feels the most comfortable. At the helm of his ship, adrift in the vacuum that is space. Earning money by doing what he likes the most: travelling.

He had been through quite a few things in those two years. It was only a day and a half when he first got pirated by criminals. They destroyed his cargo and most of his ship. It was then when he got himself a little black notebook. A notebook containing every name who's ever done harm to him. Because whether it's sooner or later, he will not let injustice be done to him without consequences.

Money galore, and at the very top of his own potential, he is in search of new challenges to push himself forward and keep on expanding.
