[Dranthor]

My background.

I was a corporate spy and very good at my job, I had numerous missions uner my belt when I was given the mission that changed my life.  Unfortunately I was captured on that job. I really don't remember much of that time.  (this is where I was cloned and donated to the war effort as part of that corporations dues)  I'll come up with more if you like this.

Thanks!  I'll take a look through it and let you know if I spot any problems, but feel free to hop into the active thread.  Can just as easily be six guards, we'll have two near the exits.

Jaemie Cooper (born from James Thomas Cooper)

James Thomas Cooper did not have the best of upbringings. Having been passed around between foster families and group homes in and around Cardiff and Swansea since the age of eight, he did not enjoy the stable family life that other kids he knew had.
James was smart, sometimes too smart. Many of the other kids in the homes resented him for being clever. But since he lived a more mobile lifestyle than regular kids, he didn’t stay at the same school for long. It wasn’t until his next to last year that he was able to be at the same school for nearly the whole school year.
Upon his graduation, at the age of 18, he was tossed out of the system, left to fend for himself. He couldn’t get into university since he couldn’t afford it. The fact that he didn’t have a stable upbringing didn’t help matters much. So, he turned to various odd jobs to at least keep him fed.
James started out as a courier on a motorbike. He crashed on couches in friends’ flats in order to stay off the streets. However, after a serious crash that destroyed a package he was carrying, he was reluctantly let go. After that, he tried his hand at being a cook in several cafes. Those jobs didn’t last long, either by the manager’s choice or his, depending on the job.
His latest job, though, would prove to be his golden ticket. He was hired on by a private security company to act as plainclothes security for retail outlets. He heard that working the malls and shopping centers were prime assignments, but since it was his first go, he was sent to work security at a large supermarket.
It was a good job, at the start, and James enjoyed it. He was able to use the money from this job to get a small one-room flat in Cardiff, paying rent by the week. However, he had started to suffer from shortened shifts, which meant less money. He was going to talk with his supervisor one morning, but to his horror as he arrived at work one morning, the market had been blown to bits, the remains still ablaze. He contacted his agent at the security firm, and was told that there were no other openings at this time. He would have to wait.
A few weeks later, after many weekly trips to the job agency and the dole queue, James was in trouble. He was a few weeks behind on rent, and on the verge of losing his flat. No job prospects loomed on the horizon. He was getting desperate.
He had overheard one night at the pub (treating himself to a pint he could ill-afford) that the UTFRP was looking for DNA donors, and were paying good money for viable candidates. He figured that he had nothing to lose at this point, and went right down to the local center the next morning.
A few samples later, James was able to pay his back rent, and keep a tidy sum away for a rainy day.
Here’s where James’ story ends…

When he was brought into existence, the third clone from James Thomas Cooper wanted to make himself different. He liked the name, but threw out the middle name, and went by the name Jaemie.
He kept his head down during training, not wanting to draw too much attention to himself, at least attention that wasn’t warranted. When he graduated, he was assigned straight to an infantry unit, given his weapon and kit, and shipped off to fight bugs.

Kym "Jiggy" Martin - clone of Benjamin Martin

Ben Martin was born into a family with a strong military tradition. His father, grandfather and older brother James were all military men. His Dad and pa were both Navy officers and his brother went to the academy and afterwards entered the Marines as a junior officer. Ben's parents were so very proud of James' achievments, even more so when he was promoted early on in his career. Everyone expected Ben to follow in the family footsteps and enter the service as an officer and a gentlemen...... except for Ben.

Its not that he minded the discipline that the forces bring, or the lifestyle of serving to protect something you believe in, its just that he wanted something different. He wanted to serve in his own way. Despite his own misgivings about the armed forces, he joined up for basic training, did pretty well too.

It was during his secondary speciality training ( in using demolitions)that he was spotted by a 'government liason' to the military. Ben was approached and offered a "special opportunity", leave the military and come and work for the government, where he could put some of his skills to work in a less 'restricted environment'.

It was just the thing Ben was looking for. He agreed, and the necessary papers signed. Officially he was discharged from the military before completion of his training, in reality he was trained by the government to work as an special operative, used to infiltrate and neutralise enemy assets. He was sent all around the world, most of his jobs the public never even heard about.... he was happy with his job, he was helping his government and the good salary helped his lifestyle.

His parents however were deeply dissapointed with Ben flunking of his military training and relations between them became strained. He saw less and less of his familiy and friends as the stigma of being a 'washout' took hold. His cover identity of a travelling airconditioning tech hardly rated in his family's eyes. How he wished he could tell them about what he really did.

After several years, the downside of being a 'deniable operative' caught up with Ben. A job went sour after the foreign military commander he was assigned to 'pacify' made a last minute deal with Ben's government. He was comprimised and his government denied all knowledge of him. Using his wits and skills he barely escaped the hostile country with his life using a false passport.

Now he was left high and dry. No job, no money, no family and for all intensive purposes a washout from the military. Then he learned he could become a doner for the synthetic humans program. For the inconvience of a DNA swab, not only would he receive a pension, but he (or at least part of him) could serve humanity amongst the stars, keeping his world safe. The decision was obvious and he went to the donor clinic that very day. Soon his clone was in the tank. He named it Kym, brother of Ben and James.

When he told his parents about his DNA donation, they were happy. "At least he has done something with his life" they thought.

After being cracked from the vat, Kym was sent to the marines where he received further training in Demolitions, the use of heavy weapons as well as the skills particular to space travel.
