Bio: Mendez was born on the planet \'\'Blunder\'\' in the outer rims during the colonization era. The planet itself remains mostly independent and is considered backwater due to its location of being in the outer rims. As a result, this formed a barrier of isolation around the colony, thus leaving it relatively unharmed during the opening stages of the brutal Human civil war.
Since young, Mendez had always been curious and was thus easily fascinated with new information that traders bring (Technology, Starships, and Cultures etc.)It is through this that Mendez begun occupying his time studying and engrossing himself in such topics. Over time, he had grown weary of the farming life he had inherited and had begun to be curious and interested in seeing more of the world, other than the tiny dirt ball of a planet he had lived on.
However, it was at this time period that the colony of Blunder begun losing communication with the inner colonies one by one as they fell to either hostile forces or economic collapse, as some planets relied on the export of other planets to survive. Once some of the colonies in the neighboring star systems begun to cease communication, the governor of the colony, fearing the worst had happened, immediately called for the mass conscription of most of the able bodied population of Blunder in order to construct and design enough ships to defend, and if need be, evacuate most of the colony in around 5-6 years’ time.
Thus, at the age of 18, Mendez signed on and took a job as a technician engineer in the orbital space station orbiting Blunder for the next 4 years where he gained significant knowledge in the construction and operation of space operated technology.
After working at the station for the 4 years, Mendez had taken a job as the Chief Engineering Officer for one of the Corvettes in the Blunder Defense Fleet \'(which was a reasonably somewhat large-size fleet by then) after being transferred. The only people he did get to socialize with were the meager 7-11 other people who were apart of the ships contingent, it varied due to various transfers to test what was the optimal crew number due to manpower shortages.
It only took another 2 years for trouble to arrive to the colony, and trouble it was indeed...
At first a fleet of unknown ship’s cargo ships carrying refugees arrived at the edge of the system. Not long after, a fleet of heavily armed ships, that were a part of an organized pirate group, arrived as it turned out that they had followed the refugees. What they had soon found was a planet full of resources ripe for the taking, Blunder. For the next following 1 1/2 years the Colonists would be attacked by ever increasing pirate raids and other desperate colonies.
This has also caused Mendez to be more distrustful and cautious of others as constantly some of the pirate ships would try to persuade them that they were lost or the remnants of the original \'\'Government\'\' just so that they could get close and attack.
Ironically, the move to conscript most of the population saved the colony in the short term but doomed it in the long term. With most factories on Blunder being centered on the production of military hardware, certain basic factors were overlooked such as mining enough material to support it and maintaining civilian infrastructures.
Eventually, in around half a year later, the colony was crumpling under the upkeep cost of its military force as Blunder was simply not rich enough in resources, it had great fertile ground but that was about it. In its weakened state, the choice was made to abandon Blunder in search of a far more isolated and safer world.
However during the evacuation, Blunder was attacked and captured by the pirates after most of the home fleet had evacuated the population and escaped, leaving only a few unlucky ships which were taken out or disabled during the defense of Blunder; One of them being the ship Mendez was on after its entire crew, except him, had died after a missile had taken out the bridge crew and sucked out the rest of the crew. He had managed to survive as he had been busy re-calibrating the engines in the more heavily armored air locked engine section of the ship at that time. After finding out that his home planet was lost along with the few people he called friends in the entire system, he manually took manual control of the engines directly and plotted a random exit vector out of the system (reluctantly) after salvaging what he could and finding no survivors.
And so there he was, in a barely functioning crippled half of a ship travelling through a dark, cold and mostly unknown region of space; with nothing but the discomforting memories and nightmares of his dead fellow crewmates and friends to keep him company… until he found a ‘’shop’’ several days later.
Allegiance: Unsure.
Other: I’m running on UTC+8, so I may not be on at the same time as other players who may live in the US or somewhere else and the country I live in is Singapore... will I lag a lot?
