Name: Mike Steel
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Birthplace: Curacao
Previous Occupation(s): LSF Pilot
Biography: I'm assuming this is a lead in to the next question, and you basically want to know how I got here. Long story short, I was in the LSF. On a routine trip, my wing came across a distress beacon from a trader. We rushed over to the beacon, but didn't make it in time. We saw the flash of the ship exploding from a distance. When we arrived on scene, there was a Navy wing on site already, and we didn't have a good feeling about it. The marks on the debris looked like they came from military grade weapons, and the Navy pilots had a hold full of the cargo that was floating in space from the remains of the merchant ship. The Navy pilot claimed that pirates had attacked the ship and they arrived to the blast, but we were close enough that we'd have seen that on scanners. One of my wingmen accused the Navy patrol of destroying the vessel, and things got intense. Luckily before things got into a full on fight, our commander recalled us in. We submitted our reports on the incident and thought all was well, except for the trader. As it turns out, it wasn't.
As it turned out, the Navy wing had a pilot who came from a very powerful ad wealthy family. He claimed that they saw US attack the trader, and that one of my wingmen was responsible for it and had attacked them. This was totally unfounded, and when the Navy went to "question" him, his wing's ship suffered a freak reactor failure or so they claimed. At this point, it became clear that we were being hunted. My other wingmen and I split up, and left false reports of our destinations, which incidentally sourced reported having unusual Navy patrols in those areas that seemed agitated. I stowed away and managed to work my way out to the Freeport in Bering, far enough away that I could hide from what was going on. From the Freeport I received word that the news claimed the Navy had tracked us down to question us, where we were revealed to be Outcast spies and had attacked but been defeated by the "Brave Navy Officers", and that the pilot from the influential family received special commendation and award for his bravery and loyalty to Liberty. Complete lies.
Reasons for joining us: After the events I listed above, I was on the run. I worked odd jobs under aliases, keeping my head low and taking care of things that needed done. Apparently I made a bit of a name for myself. On a mission where I was escorting a trade convoy, we were accosted by a wing of Rogues. They'd heard of my exploits, and wanted to make an example of me and my exploits. Turned out they thought they'd collect a sizeable bounty that had mysteriously been placed on the head of any pilot who looked like me and had similar skill as me by unnamed sources. Heavily outgunned and largely outnumbered, things didn't look very good.
But fate was on my side that day, and a wing of friendlies appeared. The Rogues, seeing their advantage disappear fled, but not before inflicting heavy damages on our convoy. And then someone unexpected showed up, my old wingman. He'd heard the rumors of a pilot like me in the area and thought it could be me. He said he'd followed a similar path to me, but had joined the Legion. He escorted our convoy to safety and we spent some time discussing it. I decided to join the Legion on an unofficial level, and started to take on some tasks. I've been doing this for a while, and feel like the goal of keeping our people safe from corruption is a cause I could stand behind. And so, I'm applying for official membership into the Legion.

Have you ever been sanctioned? If so, what for? Do you feel you've learnt your lesson from that?
Yes, I had a series of misunderstandings while stuck in a jump hole docking sequence. I also didn't have the proper [HF] ID for my HF BS. Yes I learned my lesson hence applying to join.

Name:Sofia Lion Gender:Female Age:38 Birthplace:Planet Manhattan Previous Occupation(s):Liberty Navy reserve pilot
Biography:I was born on planet Manhattan in the working class family. There was no military history in my family tree. I was first to set foot on West Point Military Academy. Before that, life on Manhattan was boring and I don't have anything special to add. Life after West Point was different, full of danger and adventure. I've always seek to meet such adrenalin.
After many years of service in reserve fleet, I was compromised along with wing. Liberty Navy used us for all dirty work because of I've been losing sleep lately. We all got messages that we, and our families will face lifetime jail time for treason against the Republic. In last operation, my wing opened fire on local authorities, members of First and FIfth fleet. Several of them got badly damaged and one was missing, maybe dead. All that happened because we didn't obey order to shoot civilian transport with many passengers.
All wing members are now dead, I'm the only one left, hiding from everything.
That would be short version of my life.
Reasons for joining us:For long time I want to make a difference. I want to see real democracy, not one uphold by the force and I want to put a stop on corruption in Liberty government.

With my purpose as a Xeno coming to a grinding halt, I decided it best to throw myself feet first into something I was familiar with. Service. I was a legionnaire before of a smaller Battlegroup, most of which were killed during that little war ordeal between us and the Gaians. I've spent enough time alongside you to be capable enough to help internally.

ApplicantsSteel, Monroe, and Drexler, you are hereby accepted amongst our ranks as Initiates of the Legion. I look forward to serving alongside you a bit more closely now that you've made the decision to join us.
ApplicantLion, while your reasons for wishing to join us seem admirable, your background seems disjointed at best. What exactly do you mean when you say your wing was compromised? What's all this about being ordered to shoot a civilian transport? We're going to need more information before we can seriously consider your application, so for now you can consider it on hold.

Applicant Fernandes, High Command has reviewed your application and it was denied. Reason for this is the lack of information why you want to join the Legion. You do not seem to have had any concact with the system of the Republic in the first place. Consequently we can not trust in your loyality.
Name:Caleb Oh Gender:Male Age:23 Birthplace:
Harlan County, Tanglewood Province, Planet Houston Previous Occupation(s):
Ranchhand, Tinker, Inmate (textile manufacturing on Sugarland), low-level Xeno pilot
Biography:
My extended family (the Jenkins' and Taylors, mostly) owned a bunch of ranches out in the Tanglewood province. They weren't too profitable, since it's bone-dry out there, but we made do.
Then Synth Foods decided they wanted the land to produce that gray crap they pass off as food. They called up the LPI, got a pile of false charges dumped on me and mine. I was twelve, so they couldn't throw me in the joint proper; I had to learn to survive on my own in the slums by repairing broken appliances and optronics once I got out of juvie.
Wound up in the wrong place at the wrong time a while later, did a year and a half on Sugarland. It would've been more, but they couldn't really make the charges stick on me. Still, I'm pretty sure Judge Winson was on the take from someone or other. Down in the slums, you notice pretty quick that the honest cops and judges don't last all that long.
While I was hemming dresses on Sugarland, I got recruited into the Xenos. For a while I genuinely thought getting rid of all the foreigners would let Liberty rebuild properly. But then I actually flew for them, and I saw just how vicious they could be. I'm not opposed to working with them from time to time, but I don't want civilians' blood on my hands.
Reasons for joining us:
I was with the Xenos for a few months because I thought they could do it. I've since turned to the Legion because I've got scruples, dammit, and I don't like the idea of gunning down civilians.
But ultimately? I've watched Liberty's version of corporatism chew up and spit out my entire family, and more friends than I can count. And hell, I've been lucky, all things considered. Especially compared to some of the poor saps I saw in jail, or wasting away in the slums. It has to stop, and we need to rediscover our humanity again. What's profitable or easy has to give way to what's right.

Have you ever been sanctioned? If so, what for? Do you feel you've learnt your lesson from that? I honestly don't remember -- I've been playing on Disco on and off since 2007, mind -- but I don't believe so.
I've been reminded that, indeed, I was once briefly sanctioned for carrying a spare ID for a friend, but I can't seem to find it in the archives. But yeah, I've kept on the good side of the rules since then, and intend to continue doing so.
