History
Robert Davis was born on Nepleslia, where he lived with his moderately wealthy family--wealthy enough to avoid the violence of the streets. It was in this somewhat sheltered life where Davis learned the seemingly lost art of genteelness. Home schooled within his conservative familial environment, Davis learned to love his homeworld. As soon as he turned 18, he joined the Nepleslian army, focusing on maintaining the peace. Davis would remain with his home world's army after the creation of the Star Empire in YE 01, gaining prestige throughout the years with his loyal service. He left the Nepleslian army in YE 15, focusing on his marriage to his wife, Vivian (betrothed in YE 7). In this time, the couple had their child, John, and lived a relatively comfortable life. Unfortunately, as conflicts grew more heated, Robert Davis was driven to return to service in YE 21, joining the Star Army of Yamatai. In YE 26, Davis' life entered a tragic turn as his wife perished during the chaos leading to the Battle of Nepleslia. Lucky to have survived the apocalyptic battle, yet shattered by the loss of his loved one, Davis resigned from the Star Army and retired to his home, exhausted. Davis was content to live out the rest of his years... until that fateful day when the YSS Destiny rebelled and Nepleslia declared its independence. The fragile, new Nepleslia needed to fill in its gaps in leadership, and the distinguished Robert Davis was called by Emperor Jim Blackman to lead them...
