Character Backstory a.ka. how or why are you here (One paragraph minimum, be creative!):
Travis Ford was born in 2155 in the city London, United Kingdom. He had a hardworking father and a mother who used to be an engineer for an Alliance ship but was put on medical leave. His mother works as a full time mother. Travis was an only child, and had a decent life in London. He had a good education, grades, and had a roof over his head. Even some friends to play with before 7. Years after, Travis' life goes south. His mother passes away from terminal cancer, managing to stay for almost 5 years and his father has to worry more about bills. Travis still continues doing good in school despite the hardships his father and him have faced.
During his late teen years, Travis was discovered that he was a biotic as two men approached his father to speak about it. They offered to take his son to an Alliance Biotic Training Facility. If Travis were to accept he would be joining the Alliance Military and to be trained to be a Vanguard where he is to be outfitted with L3 Biotic Amplifiers. During his time in the facility, he kept contact with his father, telling him how taxing it is but that he's catching up, his father is proud to hear he's doing fine. At the age of 21, Travis made it to be a private within the alliance military and served in various deployments, becoming a corporal at the age of 24.
A year after, Travis and his platoon were assigned on a new found but growing colony close to the terminus systems. They were meant to fend off any possible attacks from batarian pirates. After a few months, the colony is well populated and more alliance soldiers are tasked with defending it as well. During one of the shift changes, the intercom in the colony outpost would order the troops to get their gear and head to the colony as there are batarian pirates intruding the grounds. The colony is ordered to evacuate, as the troopers fend off the large scale of pirates. 2 hours later, Ford's squad was tasked with taking a medical evacuation team around the colony as they did not know the grounds. The team makes it to the batch of wounded soldiers as one of the evacuating civilians tells one of Ford's squadmates that there are some civilians trapped inside. The sergeant leading the med-evac team states that it's not their call to make and to remain with the unit. But Travis orders three of his squadmates to go with him to the building to save the civilians. They managed to get them out shortly after, they managed to evacuate. Travis' platoon was debriefed and dismissed. A day later Travis was arrested and dishonorably discharged for desertion and disobeying orders, he was then sent back to London. His father was no where to be found and so Travis couldn't find a job in the highly populated city or a roof to live under. A year later after living out of homelessness, Travis is found by a man who then asks Travis if he needs work. Travis accepts this and after a few discussions, he's sent to the Geisha with some equipment.
