Character Name: Angus Mackelway
Age: 53
Traits: Kind, gentle, honest, loyal to a fault.
Bio: Born to a family with mining rooted deep in his ancestry, Angus had always wanted to go a step further than his family. Where his family had always worked for Solaris Mining Corporation, Angus wanted to develop his own mining company. He had always heard Lunaris was primarily untouched, with strict mining and colonization regulations. Ever since a young boy, he had his eyes on that untouched paradise; discovering the unfound riches of the galaxy was what his soul yearned for. At 18, he applied to SMC, and was hired on. For the next 25 years, he worked planetside, learning both the manual tools of the trade and heavy land-based machinary. After that stretch was done, planetary mining operations had began to dwindle down, as most of the in-ground resources had been extracted. He was given the option to retire, but as he looked around, he realized two important things: first, there was nothing there for him. His family had moved off-planet years before. Secondly, he noted the planet was dying. When SMC had plundered the planet for its riches, they left massive craters and polluted the planet with its mining. He swore not to destroy planets by raping the earth any more, and instead personally adopted the Lunaris policy of minimalist mining.
He left the planet, joining the Interstellar Division of SMC, learning to pilot small mining craft, handling salvage beam technology, and leaning anti-matter cannon handling, for self-defense against pirates. He mined strictly astriods, using SMC craft, for the next 10 years, saving up enough money to move to Lunaris and start a mining buisiness of his own. He bought a one-way ticket to Lunaris, and now arrives at the Lunaris Customs Station, to begin life anew.
Allegiance: Although a Solaris citizen working in Lunaris under a work visa, he is not aligned to either. However, if forced to make a choice, he would side with Lunaris based off of the evironmental protection standards.
Do I plan to join the military?: Considering Angus(read:I) have little combat skills, and couldn\'t build a good combat ship if his life depended on it, he would probably not be a good asset to the military. So, in short, no. He does not plan to.
Initial plans on joining the server: Build or purchase a mining vessel, repurpose an asteroid into a base of operations, and develop mining and manufacture contracts with both the govenment bodies and private organizations.
Other: Docendo Discimus. As a note: I have little to no online RP experiance, although I have played pen-and-paper RPGs with friends and family. Also, I am a bit introverted. As such, I may have trouble initially contributing to the RP unless I get \"invited in,\" so to speak.But I will do my best to contribute to story as best I can.
Also, a couple of side questions: If your character dies, does he/she suffer Perma-death, or how does that typically get worked out? Also, am I correct that ships would be preferred to be built to form, rather thatn function, or does it matter?
