And that's what anybody in New Eden could find out with a few credit's investment in a pull of public records. What's not to be found in the public record is, of course, much more substantive.
In brief:
- SuVee tube kid, bred to lead and fly ships
- Creche-raised, washed out of creche at 9
- Adopted by a childless Achura couple
- Troublesome, rebellious, un-Caldari adolescence
- Involved in a transport crash at 16, presumed dead
- Actually survived and sought refuge at a wilderness monastery
- Studies meditative spirituality for five years under the monks
- Returns home at 21, much to everyone's surprise
- Corporate system tries to bring him back into the fold
- He sees a better path, a higher calling?, and flees to space
- Wanders and works menial labor aboard space stations for a time
- A series of events brings him to the notice of Spacelane Patrol recruiters
- Joins Spacelane Patrol and works as a beat cop
- Top notch officer, promoted to inspector
- Selected to train as a Caldari Customs Bureau agent
- Seven years as a customs interdiction ops special agent
- Operates against smugglers/guristas across the State, Empire, Syndicate, and elsewhere
- Uses his clearance to (illegally) learn about his origins and genetic heritage
- In the Empire and involved in ground fighting during the YC110 Elder invasion
- Scrutinized by Provist upstarts in the bureau
- Dodging the new politics, volunteers for capsuleer training (he was made for it after all)
- Resigns Spacelane Patrol commission and trains at SWA
- Graduates as licensed capsuleer in January YC112, slated for commission in State Protectorate
- On R&R, returns home to visit adopted parents and seek out his still-living biological father
- Guristas info broker leads him to his true father, whom he meets
- Provists ambush him with the gruistas broker and arrest both
- Unable to detain or charge him, now being a capsuleer, the Provists manage to scuttle his STPRO commission
- Ends up a freelance capsuleer with an Ibis and the whole universe in front of him
So, a former customs agent forced out of his career by political pressure in a homeland that increasingly fails to resemble the homeland of his memories finds a new calling, which was always his
true calling, in starship command. He is a loyal citizen, but loyal to the State as it was or as it is I'm still not sure. Neither is he, probably. For now I'm playing the businessman angle of capsuleer life (RL making it tough to sink my teeth in too deeply at the moment). He is also a spiritual man, as much as Caldari can be spiritual, following an Achura philosophy similar to Zen.
