__**Background**__ Dirk's youth was not one of hardship. Born into Royalty on Towers, Dirk's life was one of money, power, prestige and obligation. Which was why at the age of 18 he found himself assigned to be the clerk of a planetary Congresswoman. Fortunately for Dirk's sanity, much of the time was spent on Safari, rather than simply working from an office. Unfortunately for him, he spent the next year in recovery after one of the hunts went horribly wrong. Fortunately, Dirk's persistence paid off, and the Congresswoman he was working for was re-elected, and as the next feather in his cap, Dirk became part of the staff. While there he practiced his diplomatic skills, which only sometimes wound up in a cloud of teargas.

The Congresswoman was so impressed with Dirk that when she stepped down, Dirk was chosen to run for election in her place, which he handily won. The next 4 years would leave Dirk with a solid, if rather uninteresting stint in congress. His duty done, Dirk has found himself at loose ends, and has decided to take some time out of his life to travel and see the universe, before everything starts up again.
