Background Information: A recent graduate of the Humboldt University on New Berlin, the military was never obviously on the cards for Hans Rose. His parents were both farmers on the Weisse plantations, and farmers' children normally went on to become farmers themselves. Hans was different though: he was always thirsty for knowledge, no matter what it was of. He would often return home from school only to spend hours studying the operation of various bits of machinery. As he grew older, Hans took a part time job in a local library rather than one in the fields as was normal for most people his age. It therefore came as no surprise when Hans enrolled in Humboldt university on New Berlin, becoming the first member of the community to take such a step. Although he had left his home planet behind, Hans stayed close to his agricultural roots, studying Management and Economics with a view to working as a plantation manager back on Stuttgart.
When he arrived on New Berlin everyything changed. For a start, the culture shock was immense- for a small town farmer, the metropolitan bustle of the capital was intoxicating, and Hans soon lost all interest in returning to his old life. Despite this change of heart, he continued working hard on his course, determined to make his parents (and entire community) proud. His efforts were not just focused on the academic, though. Hans experimented with different sports, explored the shadier streets of the planet's cities, and met as many people from as many different backgrounds as he could. On top of this, he also joined the University Military Cadet scheme, taken in by the recruiter's promises of travel, and excitement, both of which he now craved. Although he was careful to keep his membership of this organisation a secret from his parents, Han soon found that he was devoting more and more time to his military development. Eventually, all of his other extra-curricular activities dropped off entirely, and Hans had found a new goal in his life: to become a fully fledged pilot in the Rheinland military.
The structured environment of the Cadet scheme allowed Hans to flourish; he quickly earned the respect of his peers and superiors for his quiet determination to see any job through, no matter how distasteful or challenging. Throughout his time as a cadet, Hans was used as a role-model for younger cadets so when he revealed his ambitions to the staff, he revieved their full support.
Now that his education has finished, Hans is ready to join the regular Military. His parents may disapprove, but they know their son well. Once he gets an idea into his head, it will take a lot to discourage him.
Basic Personality Traits: Hans is well known for his stubborness and his quiet refusal to ever give up. In large groups he is often quiet, so as not to overshadow others. Thanks to his traditional upbringing in a small, close-knit community, Hans tends towards modesty, though he is well aware of his talents.
