The Year is 2037, 20 years ago a meteor half the size of Japan slammed into Antarctica causing the Icecaps to melt flooding most of the southern Hemisphere. Within a year this catastrophic event caused massive global warming, causing most of the Arctic icecaps to melt.






The world has been left as an Aquatic wasteland.




The only land on earth is constantly attacked by various Earth factions wanting control.. The world is in a state of chaos. The old United States forged alliances with the remaining world powers and constructed giant floating cities before their resources were expended.





The human race has resorted to Piracy, the old world Navy�s and Air Force are the only real powers left in the world. The NUN (New United Nations) has taken control of an entire fleet of ships and promise to restore order to the world. But they are run by corrupt diplomats bent on world domination. Rouge forces known as the FPA (The Free Peoples Army) have broken off from the NUN and have begun to strike back to end the threat of the NUN.



We are the crew of the F.P.A.S Hope. It is our mission to rid the Free Peoples of Earth of the oppression of the NUN.

Name: Gilrort "Trace" Tremiles
Played By: Tremiles
Position: Head Air pilot
Rank:
Age: 26
BIO: The meteor had hit when Gilrort was five years old, his father had been in the United States Air Force and Gilrort had grown up around the military his whole life. the base his father was stationed at was very far inland which allowed them to survive the initial impacts tidal wave after that his father was able to get them passage on an air force carrier that he became attached to, to pay for their room Gilrort's mother became a translator in the communications room working jointly with the other worlds fleets, Gilrort helped in the kitchen as a helper and loved to listen to the shock pilots stories of daring, at fifteen Gilrorts mother was killed in an accidental mishap, mysterious circumstances, the body fell over the side and was sucked into the prop, her records were sealed and after that no one would talk about her, at 16 Gilrort got a job in the munitions room and began air force training in his spare time, at 18 he was initiated as crewman and got a deckhand job, in his spare time he trained as a pilot. At 20 he was made a fighter pilot after his full training had been complete, and a spot had opened up on he team. At 21 his father died in mysterious circumstances. While on a supply run to one of the farming communities. That same year Gilrort flew many missions against rebel communities were he got the name trace for his ability to paint a target accurately at extreme ranges with very little computer support and hold the jet nearly perfectly steady while painting the target. Over the missions Gilrort realized something about those rebel communities, most of them were nothing but farms and mines, civilians, he realized that the government was the pirates that they were supposedly trying to stop. By age 22 the NUN had discovered the location of the Rebels flagship and dispatched Gilrorts squadron to take it out, only gilrort had something else in mind, en rout he broke formation dropped back and strafed the formation two of the three were taken out by the strafe the third pulled up in time and escaped the bullets, after a two minute chase Gilrort gunned down the final jet within sight of the FPAS carrier who had begun to train their guns on him, Gilrort Radioed the carrier and after a 20 min standoff the carrier allowed gillrort to come on board but only after he had dumped his ordinance in a retrievable aria for their dive squads. Since then Gilrort �Trace� Tremiles has been flying for the good guys against those pirating nationals who killed his parents, and who have been terrorizing the innocents.
