Hello there, my name is Ares Jackson, I myself am about 6 ft tall and am normal built. My hair is a blondish and i have green eyes. Im 25 years old if that matters any. I grew up on a smuggling ship myself, my family smuggled political criminals and normal criminals through out the 4 houses. I really enjoyed meeting people when we did that and its something i always knew i would become one. I was born on the planet manhattan which, after a bankrupt bussiness, my family came to be smugglers throughout the houses. The reason it is you i am offering my services to is because you all saved us from destruction one time. We had a nasty meeting with the outcast, and had you all not arrived, i wouldnt be speaking to you today. I do hope you decide to allow me to join, otherwise i would be out of work
An officer working on Bourbon station sends quite the alarmed hail to his superior, transmitting him the following message, stating that it must be seen ASAP by the HC.

Salutations cordial,
I hope that this backdoor into Bourbon hasn't been closed, as I don't have any other ways to reach you as of now. My name is Lucie Poitoux, and I have an offer to make. Some of the older ones among you may remember me as the personal bodyguard of the nutjob that was Aurèlie LaBrise. Ambitious, but certainly crazy. She'd have led to the ruins of L'Unione. Some say not even Death can stop her, but, between you and me, let's say that after missing once, I came back and made sure that this time, the deed was done.
I know how you people treated most of those that were part of my gang, which is why I'm being cautious here. You've probably got an entire dossier on me: how I was born and raised in the Ile De France system like any other good little girls, how I then ran away from my family at age 13 on a whim in a search for action, and how Aurèlie's family adopted me and trained me as her personal bodyguard, her personal killing machine more like, I daresay, under her reign. They picked me for my deceptive looks. Who'd think that a frail, 5'3'' blue haired and eyed, thin framed, cheery lookin' girl would be proficient in 6 different martial art disciplines, trained and specialized in the use of blasters, rifles, explosives, batons, knives and a multitude of other weapons, as well as the concoction of poisons and the likes?
You probably have a billion files about my actions during the LaBrise - Orsini conflict, and how I thwarted quite a few assassination attempts against the good lady. I know my loyalty to the Corse here is at doubt for having cooperating with her, but I was naive and acted in what I thought were the best for the future of the family. I hadn't realized our good lady was nothing more than a Nox addict powerhungry demon, either.
I was the one who first attempted to execute her, spiking her drink with a powerful drug, lleaving her for dead during a party held by the chief of the Gallic Royal Police himself, when I realized my mistake of serving her without questioning her motives. Then I went under hiding, as the Police's best asset had just been eliminated (or so I had thought, it turns out that I had overestimated the dosage I had given her, perhaps flawed by emotions that held me back), and I knew they would deploy all of their forces to try to reach me. Hiding in your ranks wouldn't have been a possibility, as I didn't know if you would forgive me.
So I became a fugitive. Only to hear a that our good lady had returned, became the girlfriend of Prince Joseph and was being named Baroness of Marseille. I had to strike. I was the one who blasted her over a mile away with a laser rifle during the ceremony on planet Marseille. This time, there was no emotions to hold me back. I only wish I could've gotten her prick of her boyfriend as well. Oh well.
By using this outdated protocole and signal, I know you can easily trace my location and simply come and pick me from my hidey hole. It's what I'm actually expecting of you. Then, you can figure what to do of me. From my point of view, I think I've paid my debt to the Family, and I'd like to be part of the picture again, but you may think otherwise. I'm simply... tired of running, I really am.
When I saw in the news the reports of her death, my first thought was "Oh no, not again" because I believed it to have been faked. Et now you come here, claiming to be the one who has done the deed?
Although I was ... away from Gallia during the beginning of the divide, I of course heard some stories about you when I came back. I can sympathize all too well what it must have been like for you to serve someone who you incorrectly believed to be good.
That said, you now come to us on this channel and say, "Give me my life back." But you don't off- wait, that speech is too cliche. That's Ricard's job, anyway. Look madame, we shall let back in as an Aspirant in the Armed Division. You had better be careful though, many do still hold a grudge.

Bonjour, my name is Luis Verdun, I'm also using a callsing "Rongeur".
I'm 183 cm tall, I have black, short hair, brown eyes, *smiles* quite handsome face and a scar on my left temple.
I was born on Ile-de-France in 712 AGS. Both my mother and my father were members of the Corse. When I was 5 we've moved to Monaco. When I was 18, I've finaly got a chance to learn how to fly a ship and 6 months later my father gave me his old Cuirassier Noir. SInce then I was helping him in hauling Nox or hunting down some "indésirables". After we've started to expand to other houses, I went to Liberty to make some money and keep a good image of our organisation by hunting down some petty criminals and escorting traders.
Now I'm back, and I'm looking for something more than this dog's-meat they call payment. I'm already tired of being shot at by local authorities and traders running away thinking I'm a pirate. I want to continue what my family was doing for last 5 generations.
I have heard much of the Verdun family, et it is good that you have chosen for them to become a part of the Famille Senat. I understand that some Sirians are quite naturally distrustful of us, and fortune providing we can help you out in that respect.
Welcome to the Armed Division as well. You'll be an Aspirant for a short time until you've verified your commitment - a formality, of course.

Hello, members of the esteemed Unione Corse.
I am a citizen of the Colonial Republic, from what I understand, a good friend of yours. I, like many of us, wish to work with those who are undermining the Gallic Crown, be it so indirect and covert as you do it. However, I am not what the Republic would consider worthy of a seat within the Republic Military, and I feel that it is not for me anyway. I instead wish to offer my services to you, members of the Corse, in the hopes that I can assist you in some form. While I am a bit...scrawny, as some might describe it - and a bit short as well - I hope that I can make up for it in dedication, effort, and service to the Unione.
Monsieur Jackson, it is strange seeing yet another Libertonian apply for a position in the Armed Division. Although as such you will not be able to take a seat in the Senat, the Commandants tell me a few more hands out in the Taus will be useful. You seem to have much to learn, Aspirant. Do not fail us.
Et un autre foreigner ... well Colonial, your patriotism is admirable. Deemed unfit for a formal military, you seek to join a group considered friends by your nation. A ship doesn't really need to be piloted by a physically fit person though - so long as you're mentally stable, you should do fine here.
In your time as Aspirants, both of you will undergo some basic tactical and logistical training, and your determination will be tested. Bonne chance.

Bonjour mesdames et messieurs. Mon nom est Anastasia soleil.I am 19 years old girl, from Languedoc. I was a adoped child, but for my first 8 years of life my parents given me a ton of love and all i wanted, but they have broke up, and so the problems have started to grow on me, so when i was 10 i have been send to a Foster house, and here my story begins.
Form the day i have been send to the Foster house , the new parents were religious and wanted me and the other foster brothers and sisters to eat their belifes , which since then we find them unecesary.After staying to years with them i have finished my middle school and i have been send to a ophange center for a my 14 life summer. Then i have been send to another Foster house on planet New Paris. That familly was using me and the foster brother and sisters as they house holders, since they were moderatly rich , they would go outside, while they would expect us to clean all the house, and if they weren;t pleased, the parents or thekids we would be let wihouth food that day or many things that have never placed in my mind the word childhood.
A the age of 15 my life has gone a bit upper, and my new foster home , was a bit more friendly , but there never let me have friends , they would come and sit at school with us and their kids and tell us they are dangerous, they can't be trusted and never stop being afarind that one of them could kill you or the life you end at anytime.After that a new Foster house familly thought i was insane so the have send me to psychiatrist, and i am using the word under well all he has done is gaved me a medication that was so hard for my age , which maked me to have memory issues , sometimes look like i am retarted or something along this lines, and so today i have sometimes the same issues.
Then my life got a 180o degree chance , i have turned 17 and that gaved me the chance to move on my own , away form any strange or distrubing familly . But as you can imagin i was the coolest kid on the high-school and there were parties daily and we have been arested for many times. But at such a young age , when girls my age were thinking whos hotter i was trying to manage bills and have a decent living.So i have turned my eyes to trading.That has been a way to make money on that time and it still is. So one day a friend of mine which was a former member of the UC has took me at a base and told me to buy the X-cargo , so he thought me tha art of smuggleing , later on my life to learn about blackmail and other methods. So there my life has been as it is .
Today i decied to join the UC with the hope in mind this will be my new familly , where i could obtain love with no need after , friends to have beside me when i fall , ones to keep me on my feet, and aswell have buddy to trade and make for my good and the general good
Therefore i hope to achive my new familly and i will be one hell of a sister , and yes i know how to cook.
Anastasia Soleil. that's quite an... autobiography you've given us. Most of which , if you had to ask me, seems quite irrelevant. Don't get me wrong mademoiselle, it's quite a tale, but we had to parse the entire transmission through a transcript system before we could properly review it for the recruitment process... You might wish to avoid using such brightly colored script in the future, and keep the in-depth memoirs to yourself. A more brief and relevant self-summary would have been better suited, in comparison to a few paragraphs on how your stages of childhood progressed.
Aside from this, I'm afraid you've failed to submit all of the papers our offices asked for, and your application has been denied.

My name is Jean-Claude Teissier. I was born and bought up in Montelimar Base. People who have seen me, tend to call me frame-fit. I have black hair, blue eyes and a wheatish skin tone. I tend to be adventurous a lot. While I was young, I used to move around the Isre Dust Field, astonished by the spectacular sight.
I grew up hearing about the conflicts between LaBrise and Orsini's group of men. Quite an unwanted hassle, I must say. Well that aside, I used to smuggle goods into the far reaches of Gallic space, without being spotted by the Gallic lawfuls. Never liked them to be honest, but nothing much can be done about that.
Smuggling made me support my living and gained me exposure to the outer world. During the course of time, I was trained in arms, the basics and stuff, which, they told me, can be put to good use in certain situations. Though, I have not been exposed to such a situation yet, I am sure that there might be a need to use my skills somewhere, sometime.
Smuggling alone, though profitable, made my life a bit isolated. I am a guy, who likes to speak his hearts out. Since why I started looking for people akin, to fly and speak along the course of my smuggling routes. No wonder I stumbled across the most influential Corse group.
