Biographical Information
Not much has been confirmed about the early life of Nahum Selinger. The service crew that attended Mr. Selinger upon his arrival at Bruchsal identified a stowed Azrael hand cannon, a rare weapon known to be of Liberty Rogue craftsmanship.
It is presumable that Nahum is related to Sam Selinger, an Astrocommunication Systems Engineer who previously worked for Ageira Technologies, and who was a known associate of Herr Von Claussen until shortly after the First Nomad Incursion. A Zoner collaborator reported that Sam was presumed lost after engaging a mercenary force in the Bering system while trying to defend an unidentified Rogue vessel, eleven years ago.
Blood test results are mixed; standard statistical analyses of the individual’s Y-DNA and mtDNA expose characteristics of ethnical groups from Bretonia, Rheinland, Hispania, Kusari, and Liberty. Hispanian and Liberty DNA characteristics appear to be slighly more predominant.

Psychological Profiling
What do you think makes us special?
-“I’ve been told that Bundschuh are good people in a bad land. The symbol of a white rose tells me about the land these people dream with, a better place than Liberty, Kusari, or Bretonia. A potential better place for families out here in Sirius.”
___
How difficult would it be for you to kill a Rheinlander?
-“I’ve never shot to kill, but killing is easy. Forcing people to eject into space is even easier, and much more desirable than making sure they die. I once had to use my gun to stop a ship from taking off. That’s a bit harder, and the reason why I received the handle name, Gunslinger. I'm not very fond of that moniker, though. My mother used to have much better aim than me. I think I got lucky.”
___
What would you personally change about the Weiße Rose?
"All Bundschuh should be practically neutral, at worst just unfriendly and at best just associated, to Rheinland groups, not Friendly or Hostile to any, except to Government factions that allow corruption and tyranny to thrive. Imperialist Rheinland Government factions should be the true enemies of the Weiße Rose."
(( *Bundschuh stance on most groups, from the original Bruchsal Base infocard:
<<The Bundschuh took the ideological high route, attracting the purists dedicated to overthrowing the corrupt Rheinland regime represented by the government, Daumann, and Republican. The Red Hessians adapted the more pragmatic approach of stealing and plundering in the guise of fighting the powers that be. As a result, the Red Hessian ranks swelled, and the Bundschuh dwindled.>>
<<The Bundschuh have always looked to the Unioners, LWB, Red Hessians, and disgruntled Republican, Daumann and Kruger workers for possible recruits. So they maintain a distinct note of neutrality towards the criminal groups, although they find the Red Hessian practice of indiscriminate piracy distasteful. They prefer to focus on Daumann, Republican, and military bases, although they do raid a ship on occasion for supplies, preferably Samura or Kishiro, as they have no more love for Kusari than the rest of Rheinland.>> ))
(( *Bundschuh stance on corporations, from the original Bruchsal Base infocard:
<<The corporations, though exploitive and uncaring, aren't truly at fault for what they do. Corporations are intrinsically self-serving; it's the government's role to keep them in check. As long as the government is corrupt enough to accept corporate bribes, the workers cannot be free.>> ))
"A white rose represents moral-purity and peace. Unlawful groups and corporations are not the real enemies of the Bundschuh. Many foreigners should also not be enemies of the Bundschuh. Within the admirable ranks of the Bundschuh, Die Weiße Rose Bundschuh should be recognized for their effort to be at peace with all factions except those who directly oppose those values."
___
Is there anything else you want to tell us?
“I’d like to look at the ships available to Die Weiße Rose right away. I learned more than just a few cheap tricks when I worked as an Engineer. I got tired of industry. Maybe I’ll start a business some day...”
(( Die Weiße Rose is one of the very few factions that do not presume to represent the entire NPC faction, so I admire its general concept and foundation. It has great potential for quality interactions and RP, but it would benefit from a more detailed political self-definition.
I also think that requests for broader ship and equipment options should be made. ))

OOC Application Section
How long have you been playing Discovery?
Since 2007, on and off. My Freelancer playing seasons usually last two months.
___
Have you ever been sanctioned?
About 12 years ago, I got sanctioned because a smooth talker sold my statements to the admin team as “rule-lawyering”; they bought the story, so I was fined and had my fighter grounded. I chose not to contest the sanction, and lost interest in the game for some time.
In recent times (after 2017), I was sanctioned on grounds of “attacking without Role-Play”. I did actually drop the warning in-Role-Play, so I contested the malicious report and had the sanction rescinded.
___
How would you rate your RP Skills from 1 - 10?
9, because I avoid writing on the forums so I procrastinate forum RP, and many people erroneously define “RP” as equal to “RP Writing in the Forums”.
___
How would you rate your PvP Skills from 1- 10?
8, because my aim is subpar, because I'm too lazy to use speed control to dodge, and because my ping (150ms to the server, which is in Europe) handicaps me.
