Backstory

GamerRat hails from the planet of Coruscant, born to his human parents. His father was a drunk and was known for being violent. His mother died of a death sticks overdose. GamerRat, however, pursued academics and learning, and was known for his unusual height, standing at a terrifying 6' 8" or 203 cm. He was also physically strong. After his best friend, whose name GamerRat does not utter, was killed by a ragtag group of non-human aliens, GamerRat was very suspicious of non-humans, specifically Rodians, Ithorians, and Gungans. Swearing revenge, GamerRat got stronger, and unlocked an affinity with the Force after his father tried hitting him with a booze bottle. At age 18 GamerRat submitted exemplary testing scores, grades, and his academic record to the Imperial Army Military Academy, and was quickly accepted. GamerRat pursued an officer's career marked with developing bioweapons for the Empire. At age 22 he found the gang that killed his friend, and he allegedly held them in the air with the Force while injecting them with a large dosage of stolen bioweapon. They died, however, Imperial authorities located traces of the bioweapon on their decayed corpses, and they linked it to GamerRat who weaseled out of it by blaming on the janitor, planting evidence, testifying and more. The janitor was executed, GamerRat earned a promotion to Captain and earning a Bronze Star. However he was transferred to a sector command position, putting down a Rebel insurgency at Orion IV. He was successful, but the Empire transferred him to Tatooine just before Endor. When the Emperor, Lord Vader, AD Piett, and Moff Jerjerrod died on the Death Star, GamerRat was forced to flee Tatooine. The Galaxy was rising against the Empire. He stole a shuttle, and through an old co-valedictorian at the Academy heard of a group of scientists working on a project called TIE Fighter: Total Conversion, a new flight simulator to replace the old, outdated TIE Fighter sim. A man named Jagged Fell III mentioned the Emperor's Hammer, and GamerRat was eager to join. Under the guise of Alexander Doenut he enlisted, and completed IWATS relatively quickly....

History

GamerRat, once known as Alexander Doenut, initially enlisted in Delta Squadron on March 10, 2024 (33 ABY). 1 day after joining IWATS, he completed training and was assigned to the 1-2 position in Delta. To receive his promotion to LT, he completed 4 IU courses and earned his first Certificate, the Certificate of Spacial Geography (Alpha). Just a few days later, he earned his first medal, an IAR for 6 completed IU courses. Over the course of many months, the majority of his activity involved IU courses, increasing his knowledge of the universe and the Emperor's Hammer. By the end of March, he had completed 14 courses.

Between then and Squadron (Re)Mobilization 6, he kept doing IU courses, and his efforts in ReMob 6 payed off, when Delta's 3rd flight, once the T/Ph, was switched to a T/D.

On August 21, he made a short trip to the Reserves, to keep up with real life coursework, however, the boredom of the Reserves had him back in Delta just 10 days later.

On November 21st, he finally received his long-due promotion to Lieutenant Commander. 1 week later he was assigned as the Flight Leader of Delta Flight 3. He held that position for a month and 10 days, running Competitions and giving medals and promotions to both Hera Storm and Lorn Isard.

In the New Year, 34 ABY, he noticed that the elite Lambda Squadron had 2 open positions. His dream, which had been around since September, had come true. Contacting Plif, he requested to transfer to Lambda. And it seemed that he wasn't the only Delta pilot to do so. CM Vrak of Delta 2-3 also moved to Lambda.

On January 16th, after a "questionable" day in the Lambda discord channel, he asked for a Call Sign. COL TheBlackxRanger was quick on the job, bringing back an old message of GamerRat's about not wanting to install patches for XWA. And thus LCM "Patches" GamerRat was born.
