Hello,
My name is Jon Bravo, an indipendent Trader hailing from the planet Manhattan in New York, Liberty.
I wasn't a trader all my life, I started off at the navle acadamy, where i trained in Fighter class, Bomber class and Gun Boat class ships.
Upon the complition of my training, I started a 3 year Navy service in which i took part in patrols, escorts and missions of confidential nature as well.
After finishing my time in the navy, I started looking for a job but couldn't find anything good, so I decided on going solo, went on and used all my retirement funds to buy myself a nice trader and had been trading ever since.
The trade was good to me, but times are getting rough, and with a family to feed, I need to have a steady and reliable job, something with a penssion plan and dental inssurance.
To my supprise, I found out that your company is recruiting, so i decided to try my luck on getting the jobs you are offering.
I would like to try out to both trader and escort possitions, due to the fact that I have experience in both fields.
INCOMING TRANSMISSION FROM: Jason Grey (Game name will be Kai) TO: RepEx Human Resources Department SUBJECT: Application to RepEx Shipping
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Jason Grey, but my friends call me Kai. I'm not quite sure why, they must've got together one day and decided to come up with the most boneheaded nickname they could think of. Looking back on it, though, I think it turned out alright. I like the name.
I was born in Liberty, in the California system, to be more precise. I was raised on Los Angeles, which wasn't really all that bad; nice weather, good looking girls, and the beaches were pretty good too. When I was 18, my father purchased a ship for me and then taught me how to fly it. It took some getting used to, and a lot of fine tuning, but during his lectures and lessons, I came to find out that I really enjoyed flying.
Still being just as wet behind the ears as I could, I began offering my services independently as a freelance pilot. I've run escort for merchant ships, provided support for the Liberty Police and Navy, and helped track down and eliminate more than just a few would-be pirates. I'm not saying it was glamorous; the pay sucked and the danger rate was high in that little Starflier. Not to mention that the thing was so old that it nearly rattled my brain lose each time I left orbit.
After a couple of years, I was finally able to purchase a few upgrades for the thing; not to mention those minute little trinkets picked up from pirates during my escapades. I don't think that the LSF appreciated seeing a civilian ship equipped with pirated weapons too much, but for some reason, they left me alone.
I have to admit that during all of that, the thing that I was most interested in was escorting the merchants. They always tipped the best, and they were always much friendlier in conversation than the police or the navy, that's for sure. I guess that's what got me interested; getting to know so many of them and hanging around them. There were more than a few that highly suggested Republican Express when they heard that I wanted in on that career too. So, here I am. Filling out that application.
See you in space...
(( OOC: For the record, I love writing and I enjoy role-playing. I thought that a better way of providing a basic RP story was to make it out as a personal application letter to the company. I've been doing both for a little over 12 years, so I have no problem participating in RP. Though, my best work is RP done on message board or through email.. in-game RP is a little difficult with character limits, but I can still keep dialog IC. My primary interest right now is shipping, though if you ask, I'll most likely consent to joining the Security Force as well. As for which transport ship I'd prefer, I'd have to go with either a Large Train or a Mammoth; though I would imagine that if I'm hired, I'd have my choice and I could pick pending approval. For a number, I'd have to go with 227. I hope I've provided enough information, and if there's something I've left out, just let me know and I'll edit the post.)

Basic RP Story: My name is Jim Scott, i grew up in the California system. When i got to the right age I signed up for the Liberty Military and spent 7 long years protecting trade routes and fending off pirates of all sorts. Since my time has been up Ive moved around a lot, looking for the right job, but nothing ever seemed to quite fit. I've relaized i miss the feel of the cockpit and the freedom of space, so im here to apply for a position in the RepEx Security Force. Its been a couple of years since ive really flown a fighter in combat, but i believe those skills will quickly return.
I've been on disco for about a month now
As far as piracy and ulawful actions are concerned, I havent been involved in anything the Liberty Military would frown upon.
Why I want to work for RepEx: Hoping to find my place and get a little excitement back itno my life.
What number (003-999) would you like as your designation:263
Your basic RP story: After living through 20 years of an average city life Gojulas decided his life needed a drastic change so he bought a Rhino and decided to explore Sirius as a trader. Though after his first encounter with well armed pirates he ended up losing a cargo worth most of the money he had saved up and since has been somewhat cautious and only taken smaller, less risky routes.
How long have you been on Disco:I played for about 1 months a year ago. Then stopped cause I got back into WoW >_>. Started playing again last week.
Why do you want to work for RepEx:The opportunity of safely exploring Sirius sound's really appealing to me and hope to gain some work experience.
I have decided to join RepEx because I think my skills will benefit both the company and myself. I grew up as the son of an independent trader and learned a lot about the business. However, when I was a young man my parents were killed by pirates in an unprovoked attack which I survived only with a lot of luck. So ever since then I looked for an oppotunity to make a difference and i think working for RepEx, especially in the field of security, would give me that opportunity. Until now i was never part of any military or police unit but i?ve had my share of compat experience while exploring space on my own.
Should you decide to employ me my desired designation is: RepEx-Security|789
yours sincerely JC Denton
//ooc: i?ve been on disco for two weeks. I will strictly adhere to RP rules^^
My name is Zaq and I have been on Discovery for a couple of weeks.
Desired designation: RepEx-Shipping|131
Background:
As a child, I lived close to the loading docks where I watched the freighters and battle-scarred LSF fighters come and go. Eventually, I had saved up enough of my own money to strike out on my own into the perils of the Sirius system. I took a few jobs and made some relatively lucrative trade deals. Unfortunately the more money I make, the more the various pirate factions take notice of my ever growing hauls.
Reason for joining:
It's boring (and dangerous) out there all alone. I want to join for the company, roleplaying and security in space.
