Background Information:
[indent]Lukas Eberhardt was born on Planet Holstein to Felix and Margarete Eberhardt. His mother stayed at home and looked after the family, but she took immense pride in this. This was hard for young Lukas to understand how someone could take so much pride in something so simple but he knew that he admired it greatly. His father was a simple man, not very intelligent. He worked for Kruger Minerals, mostly aboard mining ships doing minor mechanics and janitorial work. What his Father lacked in brains he made up for in hard work, kindness, and patriotism. These are the qualities Lukas's Mother always said are what made her fall for his father and are the qualities Lukas tried to imitate. Lukas had no siblings, having one child was already a strain on Felix and Margarete financially.
The Eberhardts Never had very many credits but when Lukas was very young they saved every penny they could. Anything that they could do without they did. After Lukas was born Felix was a changed man and vowed that his son would have a better life than him. His father saved enough money to send Lukas to a private primary and secondary academy on Holstein. Being that all the families money went to education Lukas was not able to get the trendy clothes and toys that the other kids had in the academy. The other kids noticed and they picked on Lukas often. His mother was always there to comfort him and his father was always there to advise him. He became very close to his Father during these years, they were each others best friends. Lukas's Father shared many stories with Lukas, even though he wasn't smart he was wise, he had experience. Stories that stuck out to Lukas were the ones about his father being attacked by Red Hessians and other unlawfuls while on mining ships. His Father came extremely close to not coming home many times and lost many friends throughout his years. These are the stories that made Lukas realize what he wanted to do with is life, his purpose. It was to join up with the Rhineland Military and put an end to this evil. His Father would talk about how when it looked like it was going to be the end and he lost all hope the Rhineland Military would show up and save the day. His father was ever grateful to the Rhineland Military and so was Lukas. Lukas wanted to help people like his Father.
Lukas's father did not plan for any advanced schooling, so when Lukas decided he wanted to attend the Military Academy on New Berlin he knew he was going to have to get himself to New Berlin and cover his tuition. Since Lukas did not understand the sacrifice his father made for him when he was young he did not take advantage of his educational opportunities, his grades were average so a scholarship was out of the question. But because of test scores he was accepted to the Military Academy. Lukas decided to delay acceptance and take a job offer on an independent transport doing maintenance to save enough credits. He did that for about two years which helped him put away enough money at the same time sending some home to help his family. Lukas really enjoyed the time he spent traveling Sirius and would always remember the people he met. One in particular was Elanor Hewitt. She was the daughter of a VIP the ship he was working on was transporting. She was the first girl that was ever nice to him, even when she knew he was just the help. Lukas sometimes would think that he loved her. They kept in contact for a while but her father eventually found out and forbid it. He never talked to her again.
Lukas never took his eye off the prize (maybe he lost a little focus for a while because of Elanor but most would understand). He finally had saved up enough credits and ran his last trade route to New Berlin. Even after traveling Sirius on a transports Lukas was never given the chance to pilot. Once in the Academy, Lukas felt he belonged, he loved the structure and discipline. He found he was very talented in simulators and in practice once allowed, flying seemed to come natural to him. He decided that he needed to become the best pilot he could be. Lukas took Advanced classes in Combat Theory and Principle, and Counter-Intelligence and Surveillance. Trying to get a diversified education he supplemented his education with classes such as Introduction to Rheinland Law and Government and classes about Rheinland History. Amid his time at the Academy Lukas was involved in an incident where a classmate was injured quite severely. Lukas and a buddy were fooling around with training crafts when Lukas's buddy challenged him to a race. At first Lukas refused, but was convinced after his buddy challenged his bravery. They crashed and one of the training crafts pinned another student and almost killed them. The incident was investigated quite thoroughly and it was decided that even though it was a bad decision, no one was at fault do to extenuating circumstances. Lukas felt otherwise, he blamed himself. Lukas vowed never again to let emotion effect his decisions. He would carry orders exact and follow them no matter what. Lukas finished the rest of his training and education graduating with above average marks. His recommendations concerning his combat skills state that he has great potential and rates at the top of his class in combat practice, but still lacks the skills in application.
So now Lukas is taking the final step to realizing his dream and using his training in real application, he is submitting his application to join the ranks of the Rheinland Military.
