@Gowi, Already said this on Skype, but thanks!

NCQ — Season I: Favors for Favors

Name Alexander Sky

Appearance

Picture

Age 24

Role I'd love to be Assault, but that's taken.

Personality Alexander is embittered and cynical, as well as someone who feels guilt over crimes he committed in his old life, back when he was brainwashed - said crimes involve sending a captured 16-year old pilot to be tortured and enslaved just after his first mission, an action repeated many times in his career as a corporate slave. Even now, he is skeptical of New Anchorage's intentions, as well as its prospects of being a world power; he can see how power can corrupt even the most well-meaning, as well as the odds stacked against the settlement. However, he resents the corporations, especially Red-Star, more, and is willing to work for New Anchorage because it really is a better alternative.

Backstory Alexander Sky's parents were Europeans from Paragon or Volkov who had been captured by Red-Star in inter-corporate struggles, and enslaved (not that they weren't slaves already). Forced to breed in captivity, they concieved Alexander, who, from a young age, was, yes, precociously intelligent, but also obedient, with a submissiveness enhanced through brainwashing that began from a young age (six or so). He was taught that he was an inferior being due to his European origins as well as his parents' prior opposition to Red-Star, and that the only way he can make up for his inferiority is to obey his masters in all things, including piloting an NC one day against the enemies of Red-Star.

One day, he got that chance, being given an NC called the Phoenix, which he customized to his specifications; his first taste of freedom. Piloting it through several missions where he served the Red-Star faithfully, capturing many pilots to share his fate of enslavement, while at the same time...doubt grew in his mind, doubt that he was doing the right thing. Even 'remedial' brainwashing seemed to delay the onset of the doubts only slightly, but as his successes grew, Red-Star decided to use Alexander for as long as possible, then kill him once he was no longer useful and take his mech to give to another. But not even they can count on the speed with which their 'pet' pilot just...snapped.

One day, on one of his last solo missions, a solo mission intended to be a suicide operation, Alexander vanished. His tracking devices just no longer worked, his mech no longer sent in comms, to everyone, the only proof that he wasn't dead were the fact that they never found the mech or his corpse, as well as a message of apology he sent his former Operator, a message that said:

I am sorry, but I realize now, that I cannot be a slave anymore, that freedom and independence, although they carry risks, are sweet for those who would hold on to them. That I no longer want to serve Red-Star and make war for them. I want to fight for myself now, no one else. You have been a kinder person than my other masters, but I want no master now, no one to bind me.

Rumors would appear of Alexander acting as an Independent, attacking Red-Star assets as a mercenary. In time, however, his first true concrete appearance would be at New Anchorage, offering his services as a pilot in exchange for sanctuary...

Tactical Preference & Skills Alexander is a jack-of-all-trades, master of one - assault and melee combat, where he excels in tearing off the weapons of enemy mechs, so as to enable them to be captured. Away from his mech, the young man has picked up an array of skills both combat and non-combat; combat ones include pistols, and carbines; no harder arms, although Alexander is good with the Jian (Chinese Longsword). He is also moderately skilled in unarmed combat (a mix of various martial arts). However, where he truly shines is outside of combat, where he knows History (at least what can be known), Cooking, and playing the Violin.

Notes Alexander has a 90% Sync Ratio.

Alexander is Bisexual, but this will be rarely explored, as this is an Action RP. Nope, Alexander is one of those 'Lovable Sex Maniacs'.

Virgin Space: A Space Opera RP of Power, Profit, and Providence

Sorry for the short post; didn't have much to add.

Virgin Space: A Space Opera RP of Power, Profit, and Providence

"We'll be going...once the station reaches its artificial night," Par said; "that'll be enough time to eat and drink. We'll also be in constant communication; not that you don't already know the basics of covert operations. And, thanks for being concerned about me; glad to know it's not just because my father provides office space." Or was it? Nevertheless, that was unimportant to Par.

"You know," he would then say, "when the mayor of a single Spaceport-City, on one planet, and the trader of a single merchant fleet, however large, are recognized as leaders of an entire organization devoted to mutual interest and 'enlightened self-interest', I think we've already crossed the line to becoming a 'Government'. Yes, yes, I know, concentration of power causes bad things, but...it's complicated."

"All I know is, the Sphinx's recent activities require change, change in the way we do things."

------

Ahnciel and Reuben would have a...challenging time trying to get the corrupted programming out, especially as it seems Ahnciel didn't get the memo that Reuben was a cyborg, not an AI. Nevertheless, after a few hours, they would succeed in purging the bad data from Reuben's head; hopefully, this would also lead to more...bonding between them. But, Reuben will at least, hopefully, feel the urge to get back to Par soon - didn't the boy mention an operation against a Pro-Sphinx faction in this very station?
