My Elite story so far..

Before I get shot down, I know there is a tonne of lore behind Elite Dangerous. This is just the backstory to my character. Where I am in the ED universe if you like. It will not give all the answers that may be asked, but it does give a little backstory. Please add your own backstory below :)

Journal log 20 June 3303.
I have been stuck in this system for years. I am not in Asellus Primus by choice, but more by fate.

I was born at Dalton Gateway in the LHS 3447 system. All I know of my mother is that she was the pilot of a Type-7 Transporter working for Workers of Lave Liberals. It would appear that I was an inconvenience when I was born as she left me in a medical bay of LHS 3447 Dynamic & Co and departed. Dynamic & Co got to name me as it became my legal guardian. Not a name I would have chosen. But I had little choice.

As soon as I was able, I started work for Dynamic & Co as a domestic services cleaner.

Once I reached 18 I started searching for a transport that would take me to Lave. I had questions I need to be answered. I was hoping to find my mother there although I had little to go on. Not even a name. I had the ship registration number, LV3846, from the logs at Dalton Gateway. I hoped that would be enough for me to track the pilot of the vessel when I got to Lave.

By the time I found a transport heading to Lave I had a sizable sum saved from my cleaning job. Enough to pay for my passage and to live comfortably in Lave for a few months before I needed to find a job there.

CMDR Sparrow appeared to be helpful pilot. His Cobra Mk III had a passenger compartment and he was very keen to take up my fare. He only asked for proof of credits and said I could pay once we got to Lave Station. I showed him my briefcase of credits and he was happy. We set off 3 days later.

When I woke, I found myself in a storeroom on Baker's Prospect in Asellus Primus. Everything had gone! Years of saving. Gone. Even my luggage had been taken.

I eventually found work as a store maintenance operative. The money is so poor that it’s as much as I can do to pay my bills and feed myself. I don’t see how I am going to save the credits to even get off this rock never mind getting to Lave.

However, maybe my luck is changing. I have received a message that I should report to hanger 1 at midnight of the 26th/27th June 3303. Could this mean that I have I been promoted to launchpad maintenance engineer? I hope so. I have applied for this position 3 times already! But the message is rather vague. My anticipation is overpowering. What could it be? Will I eventually be able to start saving again? Less than a week to go until I find out I guess..

See I'd write my own back story but everything is a blank before this bar on Sol I find myself in. I'm fairly certain Stormy, Seph, labrunning and I went out for a quiet drink but who the hell knows at this point.

Ha! now you need to update us as your backstory gets pieced together :D
 
I'm picturing my backstory being a "Duck Rogers" kind of character. I'm frozen in some sort of suspended animation in the year 2017, to awaken in the year 3303 with a whole lot of catching up to do!

Of course the ladies love my 21st Century charm [heart]

She is gonna looked a bit ragged when you wake up, 1,286 years is a long time. Unless of course she's been asleep along side you all that time.
 
I like to put a short paragraph that gives an idea of the personality of my characters, so for Cmdr Jaeniez I made sure to make her 'imperial' . . . she might be going to get a little bit of an awakening from reality in the next week or so :)

Her Highness Jaeniez El Sahnea III understood why the Pilots Federation liked to move their new pilots across space to start their new career, after all seeing the wonders that the galaxy had to offer was a large part in her decision to take up their offer in the first place, and mixing up pilots of all type gave a sense of belonging to a group outside of ones normal circle. But really, LHS 3447? A hick system with a main star almost a hundred light seconds away from any of its notable stations that was both deep in Federation space, cutting off anyone with a stock ship from the rest of humanity, as well as being deep in the pocket of that vile pretender of a president. As it was she had made her plans accordingly and thought she should be able to play the market well enough to get to Eravate, which was at least semi-repectable in comparison, where she could make a temporary base for a few days before returning to Imperial space. It would be then that she could turn her attention back to the important matters of rank and influence, all while enhancing her personal fortune.
