- IGN: Twitch
- Character name: Erik \"Twitch\" Kennen
- Age: 29
- Traits: Disciplined, Over-confident, Semi-Info-maniacal, Generally Good, Paranoid
- Behavior: After a decade of training and practice, Twitch is a master of espionage, assassination, and remaining incognito. Twitch suffers from extreme curiosity, and this self-destructively impulsive behavior can sometimes override his years of training. He loathes politics and public speaking and prefers to speak with actions instead of words. After his time on Allar VI, Twitch seems to have an odd ability that lets him trigger massive adrenaline rushes at will. During this state, he becomes stronger, faster, more agile, excitable, and may even become volatile. Twitch subconsciously feels betrayed by his former allies in the LDF for leaving him to die.
Bio: Erik Kennen was an orphan of Terra. Being raised on Lunarian values made life difficult in the urban heart of a Solaris city, so Kennen enlisted in the military when he turned sixteen. After two years of training, Kennen had found his calling, executing shake-downs on corrupt corporations, serving on Lunaris ships, and battling the all-too-prevalent pirates.
Recognizing his success in the field, the Lunaris Military assigned him to the Pathfinder branch, a group responsible for charting unexplored territories and observation of enemy forces. After intense training in the fields of stealth, reconnasance, starships, and hand-to-hand combat, Kennen was deployed to combat the pirate infestation of several nearby sectors. Through subterfuge, sabotage, assassination, and down-right vandalism, Kennen cleansed sector after sector of pirate filth. His last mission with the LDF involved penetrating deep into an area that was a known staging point for pirate raiding fleets. For weeks, Kennen observed and reported pirate massings, all the while staying undetected.
Suddenly an ion storm struck, damaging Kennen\'s small single-man ship beyond repair. His equipment destroyed, Kennen was unable to contact his allies and ask for aid, and he was assumed captured and killed by his commanders. Worse yet, his ship was leaking atmosphere, and he had but moments to decide what to do. \"Playing dead,\" his ship was picked up by a pirate frigate, ransacked and salvaged, while Kennen snuck on board. All his training was put to the test, as he had to allude his benefactors and survive on board the ship for several days. After that the stow-away was passed from ship to ship to station, and back to ship again, all the while the pirates remaining unaware of his presence.
Finally, he was able to steal a small shuttle and set course for Lunaris space, but disaster struck as his need to get home got the better of him and he unwittingly failed to mask his trail. After several ignored hails from the pirates, Kennen\'s shuttle was shot down over the planet of Allar VI, an uninhabited planet that luckily had a breathable atmosphere. There are no records, no report, and no statement of what happened on Allar VI or how Kennen managed to survive there for four years.
Either through sheer luck, or divine intervention, a passing Rim Survivalist Fleet convoy passed over Allar VI, and Kennen was able to signal them, using repaired equipment from the crashed shuttle. Kennen had escaped his pirate prison and his marooning on Allar VI, though he was \"changed\" both psychologically and physically. The differences were subtle, but sure. After learning of the RSF\'s plight, he pledged himself to their service, eventually proving himself and being chosen as their leader. Kennen returned to the Lunaris Customs Station to spread the news of his survival, to resign from the LDF, and to submit this log.
- Allegiance: Neither. Twitch leads the RSF.
- Do you plan to join the military? Not the SRN or the LDF
- Initial plans upon joining server: Create the RSF and build, build, salvage, build. Will probably use the Customs station as shelter until an RSF base can be established in un-claimed space.
