Caliban is a nomadic mercenary who used to fly by the name of Vincent Abrams - an independent scientist that studied the effects of the Prophet Anomaly in Kepler, later seemingly murdered by The Order. He was eventually saved from almost certain death by the Technocracy of Auxo, but at the cost of his memories and personality fading away.
The amnesiac scientist had turned into a mercenary flying under the name of Caliban, completing contracts from any source to further his own goals and ensure his survival.
The pilot carrying this ID is Caliban, who:
-Can attack any ship to defend allies.
-Can attack any ship in pursuit of a contract.
-Can attack ships belonging to or assisting Technocracy of Auxo or The Order.
- The ship locked to have no IFF.
- 100% techcompat on the Valkyrie.
- Freedom to change loadouts (if applicable) within reason.
3. Exact name, identification and affiliation of the character:
-Character Name: Caliban (Previously Ego)
-Ship Name: Caliban (Previously Ego and variants of Ridge and Vincent.Abrams)
-identification: Freelancer ID
4. Why is this request necessary for the continuation of this character's roleplay?
I would like to have a Special Operative ID added to the ship to complement his evolution as a character from an absolute nobody that didn't even want to hear about combat to someone that knows nothing else outside of it, hardened by the consequences of his actions during the current progression in a story arc made by @Treewyrm. Something me and some others call "The Final Journey". From a technical standpoint, the techcompat is necessary because the character now focuses more on bounty hunting, contracts and general survival from various threats - one of them represented by those he is hiding from. I did not send such a request before, because back then Vincent was just a researcher. He was not combat oriented by any means and thus did not require such. His current relations are quite volatile - reason why I need the ID lines mentioned above.
5. What short-term and long-term goals are you planning to achieve on this character?
Short term goals:
~Finish the story arc surrounding Kepler together with the rest of the players involved in it.
Long goals:
~Caliban (previously Ego; Vincent Abrams) has decided to distance himself from who he was before. Flashbacks from his past life revealed an individual the character no longer resonates with. He seeks to make a name for himself as who he is now, rather than who he was.
~Customize the ship to fit the character.
~Continue the fight against the Nomads, which he was part of since always.
~Continue to develop the character's vessel and story as time goes on.
6. Provide links to the relevant forum roleplay.
& 7. Provide a cliffnote/summary for the links provided above.
In the same link you will find the character's relations, current status and so on. The character's relations are prone to shift as time goes on. For the better or for the worse, this change should also reflect in this thread as it would in the ID.
-The RV-Wayfarer and what happens aboard, as well as Caliban's logs; Vincent's old logs:[x][x]
You will find here details about the Dunlin used by Caliban as a mobile hideout, what is happening aboard and information about the Valkyrie the character flies. Further you will see the character's archived logs, showcasing what happened before.
The original Valkyrie's repair process (previously owned by Raven) and after it was destroyed the character requested aid from Bristol and ALG to set a new one up.
These are the more notable comms between the character and others.
8. How long has this character been building its backstory?
The character has existed since 2019 during @Slappy's "The Pillar Man" Official Event, and was stagnant until mid-2021. His backstory has been officially developing since then.

10. Notes:
The character's name is transitioning from Ego to Caliban, that is why in some threads you might notice the name Ego, and in some Caliban.
I would like the addition of the original SRP ID added to a Thor Mk.I bomber that is named "Caliban". And the SRP ID to be granted techcompat to allow for the usage of Core Weaponry. Specifically two types of weapons. The Sentries and the Wardens to be applied on the Valkyrie (swappable, so to speak). Naturally, the ID should have the ship added too in the "Allowed Ships" section of the ID for transparency.
4. Why are these changes necessary?:
The Thor is somewhat necessary for the character to progress his story. The increase in his arsenal revolves around having more tools to deal with alien threats he could not have dealt with before, as well as further his plans to enact revenge.
5. Provide possible links to the relevant forum roleplay.
[X] - Discussions with The Core's Guildmaster. The deal itself has happened ingame where we discussed our terms, options, and whatnot. Currently Caliban is working with the Core, and has performed several feats to justify his goals and why he was given the weapons.
[X] - Fiorella de Marco, an Outcast "noble" of sorts and one of Caliban's contacts has provided him the bomber in question.
[X] - RP between Fiorella de Marko and Kurt Weinbaum surrounding the bombers in question. I'm pasting this here to provide some context.
