Biography
I will try to keep this brief, and cover the bases. I was born on Nuremberg, to well-off but modest parents. I did well in my time in school, and once I was of age, I was obligated by the traditions of our family to join the Rheinwehr as my father had done. The military reinforced the structure and discipline of my upbringing, and made me into the man I am today, for which I am grateful.
I served professionally as a Valkyrie pilot, mostly assisting in domestic efforts against revolutionary groups (including the Bundschuh), until the confusion of the so-called "Nomad War" descended on the colonies. Under orders from our fleet commander, we made several strikes against Bretonian forces through the Omega border worlds following the bombardment of Sprague. Many of our officers acted strangely, while others were perplexed and even furious at the outrageous offensive orders we were being given, but it was not ours to question. We did our duty, and the Bretonians did theirs.
It wasn't until after the conflict's conclusion that we had realized how we had all been manipulated, puppeteered towards the ends of an unknowable enemy. We weren't fighting for Rheinland, but in fact for her greatest foe ever yet seen. That was enough to convince me to not reenlist again. I had enough of war. I returned to Nuremberg, I put myself through university to study law, and I met the love of my life. I became a state prosecutor for my greater urban district. I was content. As is likely obvious, this would not last.
I remain uncertain as to what caused the dark matter storm. I only know that it threw the planet into chaos. My wife and I knew we had to get off-world if we wanted to live, but all the major spaceports were bogged down by the demand, and we saw no sign of aid from the Federal authorities. Thankfully, my district had been on the receiving end of a Widerstandarmee leaflet drop, informing us of a location where freighters would regularly shuttle hundreds aboard waiting transports in orbit. We didn't pass up the opportunity, despite my initial misgivings. Sure enough, once we had arrived, we were put into a (still quite large) quota, but we seemed to have beaten the rest of the rush. We were safe. The same Bundschuh that I had once considered a band of holier-than-thou brigands was there, saving my family and thousands of others. Never a day shall pass when I am not thankful for that.
We were resettled in Liberty after our delivery to Bethlehem station. My family, along with many other refugees, chose to go to Planet Denver to look for work, either with startup local businesses or working in the pharmaceutical industry. I was not satisfied. I felt as though the country I loved, of my birth, was deeply broken, and that I was abandoning my duty to it. I still had those Widerstand leaflets with me and I had found some of their group's writings on the Liberty Neural-Net. I was interested. I was no stranger to corruption, but if it was responsible for the nonexistence of Federal intervention on Nuremberg, then it's a greater beast than I ever gave credit to.
I arrived on Bruchsal many months ago, and rather than a united front, I found a bunch of politicking posers jockeying for position, no offense. I had been mainly uninterested in internal party politics since my arrival, preferring to requisition a fighter and attempt to represent the Bundschuh and their cause in the field. I heard some rumblings that you lot are planning to reorganize our militant forces. I am not the sharp pilot I used to be, but I am ready and willing to fight for a Rheinland free from corrupt and ineffectual, repressive leadership.
Psychological Profiling
What do you think makes us special? Simply put, you have some teeth, or at least you claim as much. You are willing to take up arms aggressively against the corrupt Federalists, to truly prosecute the war we are facing, and it is a war beyond all doubt, without abandoning the populist roots of the Bundschuhpartei. All that remains is to see if you can succeed with this attitude.
How difficult would it be for you to kill a Rheinlander? I have killed before. I expect to kill again. It becomes easier with the passage of time, and I am accustomed. I never take pleasure in ending a fellow countryman's life, but if it was not necessary, I would not be here.
What would you personally change about the Weiße Rose? I would add to your list of objectives to seek means to develop more economic independence from our benefactors in the Order and especially the Hessians. We cannot expect all of our interests to align with one another all the time, and Bundschuh reliance on them for ship production and consistent munitions resupply is a crutch that can be kicked out from under us. Whenever you have the capability, I would suggest looking into the mineral contents of Luneburg's Scharhorn field for potential exploitation.
Is there something you want to tell us? A strangely presumptive way to phrase this query, but I will indulge you. I do not care for our Hessian "compatriots", they cannot be trusted in the long-term. Those following in the steps of Coalition philosophy, however fervently they claim to be fighting "for the people", have never been known to be kind to their ideological opponents. When the Federalists and Alster Union are defeated, what will the Bundschuh become in their eyes?
