IGN: Ixalite
Character Name: Axel Ixalite
Age: 54?
Race: Un-augmented human, no allegiance, gene mod for long life.
Description: A vigorous older man, Axel's pale blue eyes have seen the universe many times. His dark brown hair is now greying at the temples, but he still keeps it combed neatly. He is about 6'1" in height, with a ramrod straight back that speaks of years of military service. He habitually reaches for a collar com stud when speaking on the radio, forgetting that that was a feature of a previous uniform.
Character Backstory:
Axel Ixalite started as a trader, many years ago. So many years ago in fact, that it has ceased to have much meaning, and he himself has no idea. Back in this day, Earth was in constant contact with her daughter colonies, and the human Genome was a constant throughout known space. (about 6 systems) (Era of the first RP server in starmade, 2012 )
He eventually grew his small trading company into a larger, more powerful operation, and as governments changed, he grew to involve himself in government to a greater and greater extent. In an effort to quell his involvement, he was inducted into the Lunaris Navy as a Commodore, and charged with defense of the "western" sectors against the Solaris threat that never seemed to actually materialize. Later dubbed the "wet firecracker war" he nonetheless gave many years of valiant service to a government that later came collapsing down amid bids of various planets for independence, and held his region together and kept it secure when so many other systems fell to anarchy. (Vivicitus RP server, 2013)
Ixalite remained in government as a sort of long-lived elder statesman, trying to keep safe and guide the people in his region, and every generation or so was placed back in charge of the military, at various ranks. It was at the time when his country was known as "Ephebe" that Axel accepted the prime minister's chair. New threats were emerging, and his backwater rimside few systems were in serious danger of being overwhelmed. Another multi-system pollitical group, the Rendii had recently been wiped out by forces unknown, and their survivors were fleeing en mass to Ephebian space. Weakened by pirates and internal strife, the Ephebian systems finally fell prey to the same autonomous drone fleets that had destroyed the Rendii. Axel Ixalite had himself frozen for the journey away, like so many millions also escaping. In his shame, he bribed the cryo tech to erase his personal data from the cryo tube so that no one would know he was still alive, the man who had let them all down by failing to seize power when the nation was threatened. (Tectum Clementia era, 2014)
Today, Ixalite doesn't look back much. He knows that he has people to keep safe here too: a small colony that he hopes to grow into something better. His lesson, however, was learned: Without security, prosperity will never last. Without prosperity, security is unsustainable. His aim is to make HIS colony the greatest and most well-protected in this new galaxy.
((ooc notes: I've been playing starmade for awhile now. I'm not the best builder, but I do have rigorous standards for including both attractive exteriors and ample internal space. I expect that with no support whatsoever, I can have an adequate navy up and running within one week, combined with a planetary base and space-based industry that will do credit to the server. I do plan to include other players in my faction, as many as will join. I do not plan to make war on other factions unless provoked, but I do plan to win any such wars quickly and decisively. I expect to be online for more than four hours three to four days per week.))
