Background:A little poem has always reminded me of my father: "Stay low, go fast. Kill first, die last. One shot, one kill. No luck, all skill."That's what he used to say to me when I was a child, and these exact same words I have spoken at his funeral. Name's Toni. I was born on Planet New Berlin, my mother is a local and my father was part of the Liberty Navy. My father, Klaus, was also born on New Berlin, but destiny took him with the liberty.
As a child I spent my time away from my father, living only with my mother. Klaus didn't come home too much, he was fully commited to the navy. In the rare occasions I saw him enter our house, I was so happy to see him and I begged him to tell me stories of battle. I grew fond of fighting and swore to join the army some day.
And so I did. I had to start with the Rheinland Millitary Junior's Academy, a sort of boarding school for kids, and later, the best pupils would go forward to the actual Millitary training. I was one of them. After years of studying and training, I became a guardian of Rheinland.
On a joint operation between Rheinland and Liberty I got to meet up with the Navy's commanders up closely and they had a better look at me and decided to offer me a post in the navy there on Manhattan. I didn't want to come at first, until they put a gun up my head and said they would kill me otherwise. I was forced to join the Liberty Navy and do the Officer Academy and the 4 year Marine Training programe.
That until 823 A.S. when the war with LSF started. I saw my chance and didn't look behind me once. I stole a cloak for my ship and escaped right under their noses. I fled back to Rheinland where I was apprehended by the Unioners, telling me of a Battlegroup Harmony set upon dismantling the Navy. I had to earn my living for 2 years, spending time cleaning floors in bars, until I became very interested in this battlegroup and decided to be part of them.
