Personality

Vale has the rather rare ability to view most any situation with calm indifference, possessing a natural equanimity which is often misinterpreted into him being uninteresting, unmotivated and whimsical. Despite this, he is a very caring and loyal person, and aims to live under a general rule of respectfulness; Show respect unto him and others, and you shall see it in return. The sight of him genuinely angry is something even most of his closest friends have yet to witness, although he is frequently mildly annoyed by the most insignificant of causes. He enjoys the arts greatly and, surprisingly, his favorite activities involve relaxing, flying and socializing. He is somewhat afraid of commitment, and due to conflicting opinions about nearly every faction in Sirius, has yet to decide upon any certain future to pursue. In his own words, he's just living life as and when it comes.

On a largely unrelated note, he has recently begun mild gambling and betting, relishing winning on utter whim. A few of his local haunts have already tagged him as a "sucker" for losing, and it's not uncommon for him to enter into random bets with passing pilots just for his own amusement. Unfortunately for him, he has very little monetary sense and gambles purely for entertainment value, leaving his pockets staggeringly empty of credits.


History

In Progress.


Ships

A dream for many, Vale's first ship was paid for entirely by a third-party contractor as part of a deal to enlist the new pilots' skills as an escort. The brand new CTE-4000 Griffin Light Fighter was registered to his name and waiting for him within hours of accepting the contract, and, along with a basic equipment loadout, saw him safely through the assignment - which, nicely enough, still paid a good million or more additional credits upon completion.


Utterly absorbed in the riches of such easy work, Vale put the ship through it's paces in a series of further small contracts, but eventually opted to sell the vessel on in favor of a stronger, more reliable upgrade.


Opting for performance and popularity over speciality, Vale's next choice of vessel was the bland, common, yet tried-and-tested CTE-6000 "Eagle" Very Heavy Fighter. The agile craft has already seen him through encounters with several inquisitive Outcast vessels while taking assignments in the Tau sectors, and he's perfectly satisfied with it thus far.

Which is good, because he's more or less out of money...
