I think this is the longest it's taken just about for me to get a second char. I'm amazed ;p
Alex here with Patrick Wolfton the Pilot of the SS. He's 50, been a member of the RAC since '69 joining after his ex-wife died and kind of gave him the kick he needed to get hhis life back on track.
He's from a family of fishers on Ganymede. He met Melissa married her and had a number of children before he opened up his own fishing business but it was swamped by the big ones so he went broke. That left his marriage falling a part. Three years after they seperated they divorced, two years later Melissa was killed in an accident. During those intervening five years he was drunk for most of them and has had little to no contact with his children since his seperation. Her death, sobered him up (though he still drinks a lot) but enough for him to realise what was happening with his life and make a change. He joined the RAC on a whim.
The SS is his first ship.
You might find him putting on a happy face, pretending to be fine but he has a lot of regrets (really alex what is up with you and your chars like that?) and is more willing to take risks (you might notice this in his piloting) but he is also incredibly patient and very 'dad' like too. He has a temper but he can control it a lot most of the time and he hates losing, he wants to do well and rebuild his life.
I also have a heap of
bingo spots open if anyone wants to come play? I want all the play :D
