Biography

Early Life

Born from humble beginnings on Kiffex to a middle class family, Lawrence Draper was born to Ray and Laura of the minor Kiffar clan Draper. Growing up Lawrence was averagely smart, but what he lacked in intelligence he made up for in love and compassion. As a child and teenager Lawrence would volunteer at the local hospital helping the doctors and nurses perform their daily tasks like sanitizing medical instruments and helping those in need. Volunteering at the hospital, Lawrence realized that his dream job would be that of a doctor helping save lives across the galaxy. Upon Graduating highchool Lawrence went to Kiffex Tech as a pre-med major in Xenobiological studies. While at Kiffex Tech, Lawrence was not up to par with his peers when it came to natural intellect which meant he had to study hard to make good grades and pass his exams. On his free time Lawrence played on the colleges Boloball team and coached little league Boloball for children.

2 years into college, Lawrence realized that in 2 more years he would be receiving his undergraduate degree which will also mean he will have to apply to medical school, the problem being that he nor his family have the funds to send him to medical school. Desperate for a side job that paid decently, Lawrence enlisted in the Kiffex Planetary Guard for the remaining 2 years he had in college finishing off at the rank of Corporal and earning him some credits. Graduating from Kiffex Tech with his pre-med diploma Lawrence had to find a way to pay his tuition to a medical school. Lawrence found his answer one day browsing the holonet when he found a recruitment ad for the Arkanian Military. Having a small military background Lawrence jumped on the opportunity.

Officer Candidate School, Flight Training and Military Aviation

Upon submitting and application to the Arkanian military, Lawrence was told that because he had a college degree and prior service in a reserve unit, he would be eligible to be commissioned as an officer. After his application was approved, Lawrence was sent to Officer Candidate School for six months learning how to tactically lead small units of soldiers and apply them in real life situations. After six months at Officer Candidate school, Lawrence graduated number 74 in a class of 100 officer candidates. Commissioning as a Second Lieutenant in the Arkanian Marines, Lawrence immediately went to ANAS(Arkanian Naval Air Station) Nulan IV for Aviation School. At flight school, Lawrence learned the mechanical breakdown of a wide variety of military aircraft/spacecraft and how to operate them at an advanced level. After a year in flight school Lawrence graduated and was assigned to a Razor squadron. Lawrence was assigned to VMFA-531, a fighter squadron that specialized in using the two-seater variant of the Razor starfighter. While being introduced to his squadron mates, Lawrence met his co-pilot Lieutenant Junior Grade Kadross Pyress of the Arkanian Navy. Over a span of 6 years, together they flew 32 combat missions, 13 relief missions and 7 surveillance missions. After 6 years of flying Razors for the Marines, Captain Draper became a flight instructor teaching new pilots how to fly Razors.
