Region, House or Location of Origin: Planet Cambridge, Cambridge System, House Bretonia
Any useful experience and qualifications: Former Armed Forces pilot, '13 - '17 AS
Motivation for joining the Bretonia Armed Forces: N/A, reenlisting following medical discharge.
Short biography: I was born on Planet Cambridge, well to do parents. The gaudy rich type who blindly throw money at the Greenfront which falls into the hands of the Gaians later, because, oh, we couldn't stand to have Cambridge become Leeds! Or Agincourt now, was it?
So I had my eyes glued to the news and when push came to shove in the Taus against the slants I signed right on the day I came of age. Fought my fights, made my way to Lieutenant. Loved what I did and I was bloody good at it at that. Right up until I wasn't. My Templar was shot down near Harris a few months before the Gauls had their way with Kusari. I suffered a pretty ugly blow to the head and was comatose up until six months ago. Been trying to take it easy and get my bearings but, you know, it's strange. I can't seem to sit back and watch my home burn while foreigners have their way with it. Funny, that.
Doc cleared me for active duty yesterday and if you'll have me, I'd like to be where I belong. Back in the seat of a Templar, please.
II. Knowledge Questions
Quote the Bretonia Armed Forces motto. - Carina, Regina, Imperatrix!
Who is the current fleet admiral of Queen Carina the First's Armed Forces? - Fleet Admiral Sir Jacob McIntire
What is the name of the Bretonia Armed Forces flagship? - HMS Pendragon
Enumerate the primary factions Her Majesty's Armed Forces are currently at war with. - The frogs, the cannibals, the betrayers, and the tree huggers.
If you painted something on your ship, what would it be? - Bollocks to that, I'm not having it redone every time I lose a wing.
How would you rate your RP skills from 1 to 10? - This is not a cut and dry question. As far as real time in-game or Discord roleplay goes? Probably an eight. Forums, on the other hand, aren't really my cup of tea if I can help it.
How would you rate your PvP skills from 1 to 10? - I'll give this a 9 with the caveat that I'm much better in a command role than an actual dual. My strengths are knowing the enemy and those under my command, reflexes have actually gotten a little worse over the years.
What is your Skype address? - kiith-soban but I reckon you're really looking for Durandal#9512
Have you ever been sanctioned? If you have, what for? - There was that one time that I and half a dozen or so [LN] folks got sanctioned for mooing at a nomad. It mooed at us first. The admin team didn't seem to care much.
Do you agree to always be fair, considerate of other players and not to take inRP hostilities with characters to an ooRP level? - This is already how I conduct myself and frankly I wish more factions had this line in their recruitment threads.
What is your ooRP reason for joining the Bretonia Armed Forces? - The Templar is fun to fly and the BAF are a cool bunch of people. I'll openly admit I'm not hugely interested in Bretonian roleplay sans the Gaians, but roleplaying a grumpy British dude who spent a good chunk of his life in a coma has been neat so far.
Can you fund your ship and equipment? The BAF| can provide you with limited credits or equipment if you can not. - Sure, just don't be surprised if I ask for 2 million every time I die in a fight since I refuse to set a drawcash code on my bank!

Region, House or Location of Origin: Stuttgart, Rheinland.
Any useful experience and qualifications: I am a former member of the Rheinland military, equivalent to your lieutenant rank, as a officer onboard the Rheinland Cruiser Wardenburg, where I served as part of the intelligence apparatus of the military in deciphering tactical combat information for the fleet. I am a fully qualified pilot for class A-F personal ships. I hold a six year degree in history.
Motivation for joining the Bretonia Armed Forces: To fight the Gallic menace, who has bought murder and destruction to Sirius on a scale unprecedented, even during the Nomad conflicts, and attempts to bring the long defeated idea of autocracy back to the peoples of this sector.
Short biography: I was born and raised on Stuttgart, in some of its most troubled times, to mid level business people. My youth was no more troubled then anyone else, and I did well in school, enough to secure access to higher education. When the war with Liberty broke out, I joined the military as an officer cadet. I was captured when the ship I served on was disabled, and spent the remainder of the war in a Liberty POW complex. I was repatriated to Rheinland, where I then finished my degree and became involved in the Bundschuh.
I should take special care to note I am no longer of the Bundschuh, nor in my time did I ever participate in any piracy against civilian or military targets. My criminal record is one of belief and thought, not of deed, and my Rheinland record will show this in full, and that I served with honor during the war.
Captain Dagon of the Armed Forces suggested that this path was open to me despite my somewhat checkered past, and I swear on my honor that I am no pirate.

Short biography: I was born on planet Leeds, three years after the Nomad war. Me and my parents belongs to the one of known and respected families of the Bretonia. My mother was an aristocrat . Father was the head of one manufactory complex, which produced engines for capital space ships. I've also got a sister, but there's not much about her biography, she's a diplomat and very respected by mother, not like me. Anyway, for now a days she is somewhere at the middle of Omicrons and I don't don't about her destiny, who knows.. maybe once we'll meet again.
Year of 820 A.S was revolutionary for my life, since I've finished local school. After that, I began to study at the capital space ship design bureau on the planet New London. At the same time, I successfully passed the exams, and received a license to flight on light space ships. When Gallic Royal Navy occupy my homeworld I lost contact with my family. I still don’t know, they are alive or not. I finished millitary engineer academy in 824 A.S. After that, I'vestarted to serve in Bretonia Secondary fleet as fighter class pilot. The command of Armed Forced directed to serve on battleship Essex, as 2nd fighter assault squadron. There, aboard HMS-Essex, I met a Merchant Navy member, who helped me to make my service more…. comfortable, I guess. He also told me about himself and the organization, which he's apart of. He convinced me that the Merchant Navy have great im portance role in Bretonia military life. The conversation with one of your people impressed and inspired me with writing application to the Bretonia Merchant Navy. After 8 months of service in merchant Navy, I decided to request a transfer to Bretonia Armed Forces Primary fleet.

Region, House or Location of Origin: Greenwich, New London, Bretonia
Any useful experience and qualifications: 10 Years of service within the Royal Air Force.
Motivation for joining the Bretonia Armed Forces: Non other than to serve her majesty, Carina I, Sovereign of the Realm of Greater Bretonia, Empress of Tau, of the Kingdom of the Near Omegas and of her other Realms and Territories Queen, Protector of the Independent Worlds of Magellan and Cortez, Defender of Justice, Head of the Order of the Bretonian Empire.
Short biography: Born into a luxurious life as the youngest daughter of a lord, she knew little hardship compared to other children of her age. Due to her parent's status in the kingdom, she received the best possible education there is, failing to disappoint in that regard. Unlike her siblings, she had shown little potential in the play of economics and politics, failing to follow suit as her elder siblings had. Instead, she was sent out to the military, as she had shown the robustness and leadership potential required for it.
Margalade took her first steps into a long military life through a decorated military school. Graduating five years later with good, if not an outstanding academic record. Nothing less was to be expected of her from her parents. in 810 A.S , she set a path to Stratford Royal Airforce Academy, where she underwent further extensive training. Her training ranged from literally lectures and simulations, to live training exercises. Despite being very similar, the live exercises were much more anxiety-inducing and frightening for her. Her first time piloting a training aircraft had been nearly a disaster, almost blacking out during the training session. Her practical performance hadn't been as successful as her theoretical grades. It did take her a while to get accommodated. She had considerable love and admiration for the Queen and the royal family, often carrying out a digital photo of the Queen on her body, as well as her assigned aircraft.
Her flight troubles were not the only obstacle she came across, she had issues indulging with her colleagues, fellow trainees, and officers in the Air Force. Believing that she was a level ahead of them, only because she is a daughter of a lord. However, soon she found out that meant nothing the hard way, as she started a fight with another female trainee. Despite looking mean and all tough and mighty, she grew more friendly and caring as the time went by.
She walked once again through the gates of the academy, this time, however, as a graduate and a flight officer. She was shortly assigned to London Airbase where she had served superbly for two years. Terrorism activities spiraled on the surface of Planet Cambridge, Flight Lieutenant Margalade was reassigned to Wittering Airbase to assist in the efforts to eradicate the insurgency movement, carrying out bombing runs on hostile hideouts.
With Kusari forces breaking through to Leeds, and a possible planetary invasion approaching. Margalade was once again transferred to the 85 protection squadron on Lancaster Airbase, responsible for the defense of the airbase and the surrounding atmospheric and planetary sector. However, to everyone's surprise, things got much more complicated as the new unknown enemy entered the arena. The Gallic war machine invaded Leeds after demolishing the Kusarian fleets, leaving the Bretonian defensive forces unknowing of the true capacity of this new enemy.
To Flight Lieutenant Margalade, all enemies were the same. She was well prepared for anything that would come her way - or so she thought. The situation went chaotic as soon as the planetary invasion started. Communication went haywire, and it proved to be difficult to reach out to various parts of the defensive forces and to identify blue from red. Over a year of continuous ravaging battles and onslaught were nothing like the training and simulations she underwent.
She took on various roles through the war on Leeds; she flew air defense duty on various occasions, as well as heavy life duty as she piloted the Merlin" K3W-32PD Transport, lifting heavy vehicles, logistics, and transports throughout the field. She also provided close combat support to units on the ground. At the last stages of the invasion, her wing was providing close combat support to units on the ground. However, due to faulty information, the entire wing was shot down along with her aircraft beyond enemy territory, brief search and rescue operations found nothing but a burnt-to-crisp aircraft with a missing pilot.
Margalade was presumed M.I.A and imprisoned by the enemy for around 2 years, only to be found with a group of resistance insurgents that were in the dark until Operation Royal Flush, were Margalade was extracted out by allied forces. Margalade had suffered severe wounds after the crash, losing one of her lower limbs and severe burns on her back. She was admitted to Chelsea military hospital on Planet New London where she received proper treatment as well as a military-grade prosthetic limb. She underwent both physical and mental rehab for a total of two years after being medically discharged in 822 A.S.
Her undying love and loyalty for the Queen and the nation only pushed her far more, looking for a bigger opportunity to serve with the Armed Forces.

Letter of Recommendation Wrote:Squadron Leader Margalade definitely got on my good side of things, which is not something very common. She did things as she was told to and performed as expected. She had some trouble socializing with her squadron mates, but nothing too serious. She also tends to get easily frustrated under pressure and extreme stress. But does she get the job done? Yes, she does. ~ Wing Commander James Stockley
