Background
Quote from: 'Personal Statement' part of Ethel Clarke's informal resume, addressed to a certain, 'Captain Montoya':
Heya Cap'n!
My name is Etheryn Clarke, but you can call Ethel; that's what everybody calls me anyway. I am, as of writing this, twenty years old and looking for adventure! (And a wage, of course. Won't fall for that again.) I saw your flier posted and almost immediately set out to learn more about your proposition.
I have been living on Mars for most of my life, occasionally visiting planets like Uranus (LOL) for scientific conventions, attempted internships, and other organizations related to my father, Professor Tobias Clarke's work. I think that my scientific background and experience in lab-work and research will be a great contribution to your team. I know that I may seem like 'just another Daddy's girl' but I assure you, I'm not! I've taken it upon myself to regularly go to shooting ranges so I can protect myself and while I practically grew up in my dad's laboratory when I was younger, most of my work nowadays has purely been my own. Besides that, I've been estranged from my father for a while now. Thankfully, assuming you accept me this will be a strictly business relationship and you won't have to hear about that.
So, uh, yeah! I think I will make a good fit on your team. Besides my background in science (specifically chemistry), I've come to be really good at my hobbies as well! I'm a good shot and know basic first aid, and I've gotten really good at making traps and explosives, so I think my versatile skill-set isn't something you'll find in most of the people calling up to join, I think. Furthermore, prior from taking a break from university, I was actually on my way to get a toxicology degree. I'm not one to brag, but I bet I could pass the exam right now if I bothered, but a break from all that stress would be nice, as well as a paycheck.
What also comes with me is my enthusiasm, which I assure you is really top notch. I am super excited at the prospect of flying around in a frigate and helping to take down some baddies. I may be young but I am definitely not afraid to see the universe for what it is. I am sure your crew will be filled with very interesting people from all over the universe so I think that will be cool as well. I guess the only thing left for me to say is that I really hope you consider me for your crew. I've got a lot to give and a lot to learn, so please okay my application!
Thank you for you time,
-Etheryn
