Dr. Markus Frederickson SDL

WIP

Descriptionand Bio
Markus Frederickson was born a commoner with no parental benefits. His family was a nobody. His rise to fame is a story like many others, but unlike those others, he has risen above the norm. Frederickson’s childhood was interesting to say the least. At a very young age he already shown promise in the ways of science. He was a very intellectual kid, but decided to never make anything of it at that time. In his teenage years he was confronted by his parents about a possible degree in the modern technology that the humans had developed. This intrigued him, and so he did just that. He studied for countless hours, seeking new knowledge far beyond the scopes of the human civilization. At the ripe age of 19 he had already developed an AI-assistant to help him in his work. This AI was different from the other AI developed by the higher-ups at that time. It had its own sense of thought, almost like a brain. This was soon considered to be a safety hazard and was confiscated by the government, but Frederickson wouldn’t stop trying. He delved deeper into the knowledge of robotics, eventually finding just what he needed; a crashed corvette from the Galactic Navy. He studied the different components thoroughly. With his newfound knowledge, he sought to gain a higher standing in society. This was mostly to prove that a commoner, such as himself, could prove to be a valuable asset to society. He got a job at a local research institute, and quickly climbed the ranks. This was noticed by the Governor of Azuria, who quickly contacted him. Frederickson was offered a job as one of the scientists of the newly built research lab. Naturally, he agreed to the offer.

Whilst working there, he developed a keen interest in particles. It intrigued him. And after many years he was one of the most prominent in that area of expertise.

While this was happening, Frederickson had involved himself in the politics of the Republic. He found a sense of security in talking with people who had the same views as him. This did not, however, cloud his mind on what was most important; his research. At the dawn of the new century, Frederickson was one the most sought after scientists Azuria had. This fame was something he always wanted, but he kept his mind straight. No distractions. No interruptions.

Ethics
Opinions towards Superpowers

Neutral

''Frederickson sees the two Superpowers of the galaxy as nothing but something to help his research. He will gladly switch sides as long as they help him develop. He does not care about the past history of the Empires, he merely wonders if they have something of use to help his research.''

Opinion towards the Galactic Community

Supportive

''The Galactic Community is something Frederickson sees a place where he can meet fellow-minded scientists. Meeting these people will give him a better understanding of the scientific progress of today’s society, and will gladly support the Research Initiatives made by the Galactic Community.''

Economic policy

Marketplace of ideas

''A world where ideas can be spread without effort is something Frederickson has dreamt of for a long time. He would no longer have to spend hours trying to get to the other side of the Republic to talk with a renowned scientist. With a Marketplace of Ideas, these wishes would come to fruition. Showing your idea to the world should not be restricted by the government. You should be able to show it to whoever, however you like. ''

Militarism

Anti-Militarist

''The military of the Empires of the galaxy is something extremely overrated. A good nation will be technologically advanced. A primitive nation will be threatening others with large fleets. The true way to develop as a nation would be to focus our efforts on the scientific development of our Republic.''

Religion in the sense of government

Anti-Religious

''Religion is a blockade for scientific development. To be able to cross the line set by what is possible, we must release ourselves from the shackles that is religion. Religion only holds us back, and we must reform our society in order to further develop our technology.''

Immigration

Neutral

''Immigrants can have their upsides and downsides. Some immigrants will be thieves and pirates, while others may be scientists and workers. How we deal with the troublemakers is not up to me, but the chance that even one of those immigrants may be genius scientist is enough to partly support this.''

Foreign policy

Cooperative

''The other Empires of the galaxy must see the ways of science, but in order to do that, we must cooperate with them. Gain their trust. If we do not gain any friends in the galaxy, our doom will be imminent.''

Expansion policy

Stabilist

''Earth’s expansion was the cause of its downfall. We must not follow in their footsteps. Therefore, we seek to stabilise our expansion to the point where we have total control. No revolts. No riots.''
