My Character is an Former Black Eagle agent seeking to shed light and throw away the corruption within the Federation's governance.

It was pretty cool to think and write about it. I spent a hell of a lot of time looking into EVE lore to create this character.

I can't wait until we can have character bios so I can explain the full background of my character (which I already wrote out because I have no life whatsoever...)

That is a nice character.

Mine is a former Sarum Imperial Guardsman, killed on Amamake, and made into a Templar.

((Since we're already being somewhat OOC; do the Caldari have an elite unit, like the Galette Black Eagles? I tried looking it up but... couldn't find anything.))

((Let's get back into character, folks.))
h?
Mr. Kalamari, I do see, understand, and to a large degree agree with your concerns. I do suspect, however, that much of where all of this comes from is the backgrounds of the visitors here.

We are mostly soldiers. At most, we may have been officers; many were probably just talented rank and file.

Such people are typically subject to the sort of programming that makes a soldier eager to fire a weapon. It results in a certain amount of extremism and jingoism, but it also makes them more effective killers in service to their respective masters. As much as I consider it my responsibility to recognize the humanity of my enemy even as I kill him, I also recognize that this is not an easy thing for most to do.

They are soldiers, specialized in killing and conditioned to kill without hesitation. It may be too much to ask them to be diplomats, at least in the near term.

Of course, as they are now mercenaries with extraordinarily broad discretion in their doings, they can now broadly free themselves of that role and its mentality, if they wish to. Perhaps those of us with more ... unusual backgrounds may be able to help with that.

Please elaborate on what you consider... unusual backgrounds, would you?

((I don't really have anything in character to say, but I really hope you don't think True Adamance and I are Amarr fanatics. That is not either of our characters. All we've done is state our beliefs and correct those who bear false claims against our Empire.))

((I don't think you're fanatics, but my point still stands. If you have nothing worthy of adding, don't reply. If you want to talk with me, use PMs or the DUST OOC thread. I find it annoying when people just comment OOCly on my threads.))
I really wish they could fix these threads of all the static and other disturbances, it's starting to get annoying when it disrupts the discussion.

It sounds like you want a total peace throughout the four major empires Mr. Kalamari. Why would a merc want peace it is our job to conduct war. What you desire seems rather stupid in my opinion wanting to loose your job and all. Well maybe not , there are many private contractors in new Eden that would hire a merc to fight against their hostile enemies.

( wow a gallente who isn't crazy nice topic +1 )

I'm not desiring peace, I know that is an impossible goal to achieve. What I am trying to achieve here is independence from the empires of New Eden, to not blindly follow their ideals and their orders just because we were told so. Right now we are extremely dependent on them, they make our weapons, our dropsuits, modules and everything else you use in combat, and because we all were trained in the clone soldier program more or less, we have tendencies to show alarming amounts of fanaticism to our own nations. I believe that when capsuleers or other non-empire afflicted groups starts building our gear, funding our wars and hiring our services, have we taken a step to the right direction. That may be a long time before it actually happens, but when we stop unquestionably following orders and start thinking critically of what we do, have we made progress.

And I am Intaki, not Gallente.

I am a loyalist. This defines me as a person. I have nothing to fight for without the Empire. I have no desire to own my own space, nor to make ISK, nor to fight as a mercenary.

I want to help my people, so I fight their wars so they do not have to.

I understand, and I accept your point, the loyalty to the empires in itself isn't the problem, it is when it becomes unquestioning and blind.

I remember what happened long time ago,like it had happen yesterday.My family lived in little town with gallente,minmatar,caldari families,heck my best childhood friend was caldari girl,aristas nehem was her name.All of us lived in peace with eachothers,untill that dark day came.Caldaris and ammarians arrived and horrors started,bloodshead and massacre is too gently words to desscribe what happened,also our former caldari neighbours participated and helped those caldari and ammarian death squads to round up and kill every gallente and minmatar man,woman,and childs.Only who survived was handfull of people me included only to see our fathers,mothers,sisters and brothers lying lifeless in massgraves.Those horrible days started my discust and hate to caldari and ammarian empires and last i have to say,im product of those events and thats why every change i get i strike and try to find those who is responsible and make them pay
