The decadent Famille structure is now holding us back more than ever. While we could divide ourselves within the confines of a small Kingdom, the Sirian opportunity is too large for any one family to take on. The Accord seeks you, fellow Corsican, to have a new allegiance: an allegiance to Corsican philosophy and strengths, so that we may end all internal strife. Let the old families squabble over cubic metres of Marseille, we shall make our fortune in the stars.
If this call is for you, we release you of your shackles, and true kinship among the Corse shall begin. Join us today, or be left struggling with ever shifting powers.

IC Portion Name: Pierre MacMahon Age: 28 Gender: Male Backstory: Pierre can trace his family history back to the first settlers to come off of the sleeper ship. Already nobility, even back then, the McMahons established themselves on New Paris, until almost entirely moving to Orleans not long after it began to be settled. The family mostly established themselves in the hinterlands of the planet, keeping themselves most separated from the larger urban areas. Their family manor was built here, and a thriving vineyard has sprung up around it, the MacMahon estate is known for its small but very high quality wine production, never totaling more than a hundred bottles a year. Though they were staunch supporters of the Royalist cause during the first civil war, the family mostly focused on keeping their own interests alive above throwing themselves into the conflict, and because of the large amounts of mostly wooded land that they owned on Orleans, they were soon approached by the group from Marseille known as the Unione Corse. Profiting massively from the war, the MacMahons became an integral part of the Corsican smuggling network in Orleans, and not long after also had a small holding on Marseille itself. Since then, the family has been a part of the Unione, despite what other endeavors they might pursue in the public eye. The family thrived for a long time, though when the second civil war began, several of them were caught in the crossfire, or were called into service with the Royal Navy. This resulted in much of the expansive family either dying off, or leaving the part of the family associated with the Unione behind. Approximately five years ago, both of Pierre's parents and his fiancé were killed in an attempt by a rival family to take full control of his family's holdings. Sweating revenge, Pierre tracked down each member of the family of the man responsible for the murders of his own family, killing them off one by one until only the head of the family remained, before torturing the man to death. With the revenge for his family taken care of, Pierre has spent the last couple of years rebuilding the control his family once had, and plans to make their name strike the same fear into their rivals as the man who wronged him felt in his last moments. Why are you interested in the Zurich Accord?: Pierre has realized that to truly make his family powerful again, the path isn't to try to compete with the other powerful noble houses inside of Gallia, but to expand outside of it. Having control of the trade corridors to the Sirians is where the most power can be found, and where the most money can be made.
OOC Portion How long have you been on Discovery? What are your experiences so far? I've been part of the Discovery community for over a decade at this point, though I took a long absence until very recently. I've currently part of [LN] and was part of =CR=, UC/- and JM|- before my absence.: Have you ever been sanctioned?: No. What is your timezone?: US EST On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your PvP abilities? Your RP abilities?: I'd have called my PvP at about a 77 back in the day, still shaking the rust off as I come back though. RP skills I'd put somewhere into the 8 or 9 range, though with newer characters it can take me a bit of time to get a feel for them. Discord Username: lordcaedus

IC Portion Name: Margot Moitessier Age: 29 Gender: Female Backstory:
- Born and raised on Marseille in a life of wealth and power. Nothing to gain, everything to lose, and lose I did. Job after job botched and squandered, failing to meet the Bosses' expectations (regardless of how high they might've been), followed by being politically backstabbed, my work sabotaged by others looking to get ahead, and not being good enough at the playing the game to win. My youth was filled with failure, falling from the very top all the way down to the all-so-uninviting rock bottom, so far down that no matter how many steps you take, it always feels like you keep going down. The stench of poverty and loss is the hardest to wash out. How dramatic.
In my time away from Marseille I've learned how to not fail. When failure means hunger, exploitation, prison or an unceremonious loss of life, all you have to do is succeed, and then you win. Simple.
Why are you interested in the Zurich Accord?:
- After my exile from the Familie, I roamed Gallia aimlessly, working for whoever would pay. From run of the mill jobs such as shipping various legal goods, to being a gun for hire for the Brigands, to conducting assassinations for the Maquis, and back around to smuggling for the Corse. The luxuries that I lost on Marseille are but one aspect of my life that I'm eager to recapture, but the more I fly alone the more I feel like whatever is left of my luck is running out.
OOC Portion How long have you been on Discovery? What are your experiences so far?:
- Since like, 2012. I spent half of that time wanting to play the game but being unable to because I was bitter about the Good Old Days. It's also hard to launch the game when every time you do you see something you absolutely must push to git and then you get sad it's not hotfixed yet so you don't play the game and then when it's hotfixed you get happy and then you find something else and then you get sad again.
Have you ever been sanctioned?:
- I was never banned from the game but my Probation user title was earned because I used to be bad on the forum.
What is your timezone?:
- GMT+1
On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your PvP abilities?:
- I don't know. I don't like giving myself a number. I can kill Haste if I tryhard out of 10. Vaguely decent in Gunboats and Freighters. Insider knowledge about Battlecruisers. So like a 2/10 total or something.
Your RP abilities?:
- I don't know. I'm literate. I type quickly. I'm the type who hates every word I ever write so I couldn't grade myself if you put a gun to my head. I have the attention span of an injured peanut so if text goes by too fast the cogs in my brain start chugging but I can type up some Epic Roleplay if I try.

IC Portion Name: Odo Kunze Age: 24 Gender: Male Backstory:Odo Kunze was born to a Rheinland-born Freelancer and a Zoner employed on Harrisburg Station. He spent most of his early childhood with his mother in Liberty, where his father usually visited, but that changed when he was fifteen, when he joined his father on the transport he flew. After 8 years of working as the helmsman, Odo received the ship after his father decided to retire on Gran Canaria with his wife. Why are you interested in the Zurich Accord?: During my last contract supplying a ELF base with gold, the name of the Zurich Accord reached me, and after talking to the bartender, I found a way to contact you. I am interested in working with people who will enable me and them to increase our mutual prosperity. Other:
OOC Portion How long have you been on Discovery? What are your experiences so far?: I have played discovery back when I was a child but that was mostly limited to mining and transporting under the IMG tag. I returned during the summer before the patch and have been quite active to this day. These days I am in the high command of the CIS. So my experience has mostly been positive. Have you ever been sanctioned?: Once a character was sent to Bastille but it was resolved What is your timezone?: GMT +2 On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your PvP abilities? Your RP abilities?: I would say that my PvP ability is 5 on snubs and 6 on gunboats after the patch most of the combat I experienced was on a gunboat. As for rp skills I would say 5 because of my slow typing and dyslexia causing some spelling mistakes. But other than I believe that my ability is good Discord Username: viss1759 Other:
