Ivan Vartikov

Ivan always had a hard life, his father had left him and his mother when he was still just a young kit to go chase some younger tail, his mother had to resort to whoring herself out to pay the bill which would eventually land her addicted to Heroin and cause her to black out or not come home for days at a time, leaving the small kit to rummage through the garbage for any food. Eventually he was enlisted in a local gang where he would break into houses, steal cars, and mug people at night. Life was good for him during this time, he lived with a few of the gang members who he considered friends at the time. Though when his seventeenth birthday arrived his so called friends left him for dead when a bank heist went horribly wrong which left Ivan laying in the street bleeding from his shoulder, not a fatal wound but painful never the less. Now abandoned once again, he laid in the street as the sirens came closer and closer to the scene. It was in the Hospital he was given the offer that would change his life, two cops with a lone man dressed in military attire. The man was an Admiral in the Alliance and had started a wayward youths program, so basically taking youths with troubled lives like Ivan and enlisting them into the Alliance where they learn Duty, Honor, and Responsibility in a military environment. So given the obvious choice of either going to jail for a long time and lose his butt cherry, or enlist in the program and have a chance at an actual life. Given the two choices he took the more obvious one and was sent to the Alliance academy where he began his studies. From that moment on he was a changed fox, his raging wild attitude was replaced by a more mature and dedicated attitude towards his new life. He did pursue a few relationships at his time at the academy, nothing to serious just a few guys and gals here and there to keep the stress at bay from constant studying of star ship layouts, regulations and all that good stuff.

Once he was out of the Academy he was immediately sent off to work on the USG Razzia, an Earth made military vessel with the soul mission to patrol the borders of Alliance territory. He was taken on as a Weapons Technician. He would run system checks on all of the ships turrets and main gun so to speak. His hard work and dedication would eventually land him another position as the Weapons Operator, his new task granting him the responsibility of operating the targeting sensors and the firing mechanisms of the turrets and the main gun all on the bridge of the ship. There he gained the friendship of the Captain of the USG Razzia and those that that worked on the bridge as well. As his dedication for his work and for the Alliance grew so did the respect he gained from the Captain, Impressed by the males growing leadership and independent thinking that on Ivans 24th birthday the Captain of the USG Razzia handed him a Letter of recommendation for a promotion to the rank of Captain. So Ivan was sent back off to the academy where he was instructed in more regulations, safety procedures, etc. It took one full year to finish the special course and once done with his studies he took a simulation of a live action battle to test his knowledge and mental condition to see how he reacted under stress given the situation of utter demise, which he passed with flying colors and gained his promotion to Captain at age 25.
