History:
Born a year before the Battle of Tukayyid, Erik grew up in the aftermath
of the initial clan invasion. Grumium had become the main training world
during the 3050s and 60s, as all of the Republic’s primary training
facilities were lost to the clans. A brand new academy was opened on Grumium
in 3055, the Frihet Training Facilitiy, which trained all of the KungsArme’s
infantry and tank crews, as well as limited classes of mechwarriors and
fighter pilots. After finishing his primary schooling, Erik’s parents,
who were retired instructors from the facilities lost on what were then
clan-occupied worlds, enrolled Erik at the Frihet academy. Initially Erik’s
classes were geared towards himself one day becoming an instructor, but
he had his own interests in mind.
Continuing with the mechwarrior program, Erik took up secondary studies
in Inner Sphere economics, technological history and engineering. He found
a particular fascination with the Succession Wars era, finding the small
innovations on the parts of individual units throughout that time intriguing,
despite the gradual deterioration of the level of technology through the
four wars.
By 3072 Erik had a degree in technical applications and economics, and
had his basic mechwarrior’s liscense. He continued to study and train
at the academy, while interning as an assistant battlemech technician and
reserve mechwarrior for the KungsArme. He left the former Republic for
good in 3074 however, when the Ghost Bear-FRR alliance turned into the ‘Rasalhague
Dominion’, and their plot to attack SLDF troops
in the Republic was made public. Erik and his parent’s didn’t
believe in the nation anymore, and fled inward into SLDF controlled space,
ending up on Terra.
Erik used his resume at the Alice Springs complex on Terra to gain a position
in a mercenary company, the Silver Hawks, acting as the company quartermaster
and a mechwarrior with a field rank of corporal. He has served on three
campaigns with the Silver Hawks in the two years he’s been employed
with them.
Personality Profile:
Personality Profile: Though by no means an elite warrior or field
commander, Erik is a whiz with numbers, making him an excellent
quartermaster and accountant. He is well versed in hardware, trade and
the stocks, and is a decent technician and mechanic in his own right.
Socially, he can sometimes be withdrawn when he gets lost in his
paperwork, but he gets out for a drink or two each weekend. When not on
the job he enjoys going down to the track and racing hoverbikes, playing
basketball, or just hanging out with friends and having a grand old time.
