Detailed Background, One Paragraph or So (the more we can learn about you, the better):
Born on Planet New London, My Mother was a typical house wife, and my father was an Independent Mercenary Pilot mostly taking contracts for escort. He had done his service within the Bretonia Armed Forces and retirement to him was like death, he'd either work or die a bored man. My Father wanted me to follow in his footsteps, Join the military and carry the family tradition of serviceman proud. Trouble was all though I dreamed of being a combat pilot, I wanted to see life outside the Smog of Bretonia, explore the more exotic places within the Universe.
When I hit the age of 18, my Father had finally retired, keeping his Eagle locked away for the odd day he could go out to space and reminisce of his younger days, My father handed me a Holo Tape, "Your path into the Queens Armed Forces". I Initially took the holo tape, but I did not want to join up and fight for a Monarchy I did not really feel any attachment to. Sure I'm a proud Bretonian, but I'd never met the Queen, and neither did she care that I lived in a neighbourhood which was rife with crime and grey mist of pollution.
After a Lengthy argument with my family, I "Legally Commandeered" my fathers Eagle and headed for the first tradelane I saw. In the interest of time, I was approached by many businessmen, looking for Pilots who could escort freighter and transport convoys, to cover short staffed Security wings, which I happily obliged. At first I enjoyed it I flew to different Houses, Experienced different cultures. But as time wore on it became stale, I needed a new purpose, I wasn't changing the world or making an Impact on the universe by being a measly escort pilot taking down the local house pirates. I needed something worth while to keep me going.
So travelled to the Edge Worlds, Scraping my way to Freeport 9. Full of adrenaline from nearly being killed on several Occasions I asked and poked around for jobs when I overhead someone speak about the Core. After overhearing this conversation, I was filled with weirdly a sense of duty. I Could help the Uncivilised Edgde Worlds become a safer place, and be part of a highly organized and progressive Group.
I'd found my calling.
