 ====Description====
-A man aging well with playful blue eyes and a smile or grin at most things. Can hold himself with any range, from noble bearing, to low humor. Can be disarming or commanding.
+A man at the edge of far edge of his youth. Well built and clearly a man who knows how to fight with various weapons.
 ====History====
+Anthony is a pureblood Solomani from Earth in the North America continent. He was raised as part of a typical upper middle class family. His father and mother are avid marine biologists and seamen operating in the Gulf region of the continent. While well educated, Richmond was not interested in a scientific career. He instead applied to one of the most ancient military academies, West Point.
-Vincent Weiss is the youngest child of the Weiss family, owners of the [[game_systems:traveller:lore:Weiss_Mobil|Weiss Mobil]], a transportation empire that operates behind the claw in Deneb, the Spinward Marches, and beyond. Weiss Mobil moves everything from cargo to people to information. Vincent could have stayed in a life of luxury, but his wanderlust was too great. Eager to prove himself, he signed on as a new Merchant Marine at age 18, eschewing his parents help, but picking his parents company.
+Richmond excelled at his schooling and graduated near the top of his class. During his time in school he joined an integrationist political movement, Children of Earth (see below). This won him a fast friend in fellow Solomani, August Volante. August went on to Military Intelligence in the Army and more or less went dark. Richmond managed to irritate if not enrage this assigned professor of history at the school, Chun Dao. Dao went on to be a General in Imperial Army, and this animosity would later come back to haunt Richmond.
-He first served aboard the Weiss Mobil Zhijun Gu, a large hauler. What he did not know is that [[game_systems:game_systems:traveller:insearchoftheancients:npcs:Gerwar_Long | Gerwar Long]] , agent for his parents, was monitoring him from the beginning. Long moved behind the scenes to ensure Vincent received advanced training and that he was promoted.
+As a freshly minted Lieutenant, Richmond found himself on the months long journey to the Spinward Marches. The Army was not totally sure of his loyalties, and assigning him far away from the Solomani Rim seemed the best path to take. Richmond was then leading a platoon against the insurgency on the wild world of Efate. This was a hard fight to try to stop the insurgents and not kill locals, many of whom supported the insurgents. However, Richmond was able to succeed and emerged a local hero.
-Six years in, it was obvious to Long that Vincent was quite adept at his role. He turned in his resignation and bid goodbye to his charge, telling the young man he was sure he would do great things in the company. Gerwar Long then left the service of Weiss Mobil and headed out to his own fortune as part of the crew, and later captain, of the Far Trader //Kharku//. Vincent goes on to prove Long right, with an excellent run in the next several years. While he served ably, the Zhijun Gu was also placed on several choice routes by his family behind the scenes.
+Army life is often dull for long periods of time. Sometimes it leads to odd assignments. As a Captain, Richmond’s company was involved in a peacekeeping mission to Yres specifically because of his seafearing expertise. It was being transported to this mission via the civilian ship the Weiss Mobile Zapruder, he met Vincent Wiess who taught him how to gamble. It is after this mission, back abord the Zapruder, that Richmond managed to put a General is significant debt to him in a high stakes card game and he forgave the debt to be promoted to Major.
+General Dao re-entered Richmond’s life almost four years after his promotion, into what had been a rather uninteresting but safe term of service. Dao sent Richmond with a reduced unit into what turned out to be an impossible fight against Psion separatists. Richmond is not sure if General Dao knew the separatists were psions or not, but he could tell this was a set up. Unfortunately, the fight was going quite poorly, and Richmond was sure that they would die to the last man. That was until Maria literally popped in and lent him a mind shield. After explaining that her organization, Mandala, would rather psions not behave this way, she and other Mandala operatives took out the key members. Richmond’s unit was saved and he kept Mandala’s existence a secret. The near debacle resulted in Richmond’s promotion and an award of a Medal for Conspicuous Gallantry.
+Facing Psions un-warned, and an old enemy still gunning for him, Richmond was done. He took his promotion and award and promptly retired from the Army at the end of his term. a full Lt. Colonel. Thanks to his service, at age 34, he was in the best shape of his life. He decided to retire to Callia, out of the way, unlikely to be found by anyone. This had mixed results. He used what money he had to buy some farm tools and a small plot of land. It was a disaster. He had no business being a farmer. When he heard there were some outsiders in a converted Patrol Corvette, Richmond made his way to Makintown and was astonished to see Vincent walking towards him.
+==== Children of Earth ====
+Children of Earth is an integrationist political movement on Terra. It is against the monitoring and more heavy-handed actions of the Solomani Confederation. It argues for freedom from discrimination of humans based on origin, arguing that the obviously superior pure Solomani will come out on top without any help, and if that person does not, then they are best left aside, not part of the greater whole.
+Needless to say, this manages to tick of people across the board, which may be why it is prominent and persistent among younger members of society.
-As he advanced, it was clear that Vincent, despite his efforts, was receiving favoritism. This did not sit well with some spacers. Vincent became embroiled in a bureaucratic morass after being set up by others with incorrect paperwork. He learned the system to unwind it, but lost any chance at promotion due to guilt by association. With the animosity of some of the crew, Vincent spent a lot of time outside the ship, and the scandal cost him a promotion.
-To move him from the scandal, Victor was transferred to the liner //Weiss Mobil Fernando Zhang//. This was Victor’s chance to shine! He proved a fantastic front man for the Zhang in terms of passengers, cargo, crews, and communications protocols. At this point, Victor was being left alone as excelled in his chosen profession. However, this was not to last.
-On track to get his own ship, disgruntled crew again created a set-up, this time with illegal cargo (Psi Drugs). Instead of managing a bureaucratic system, Vincent had to manage the law. Fortunately, he was successful and kept himself out of prison. At this point, his parents stepped in and he agreed to leave for his own safety. He was given a promotion on the way out the door to be First Officer on the soon to be decommissioned ship, //Weiss Mobil Muhammad Mal//. Here he spent 6 months going around on a good will tour with the hero of day, Captain David Swift. Vincent left on good terms with his family, feeling that he had proved himself, but his wanderlust was as active as ever.
