About Ghost
Ghost Orm knew just about nothing about EVE when he joined E-Uni. Some say that statement is still true to this day. He found himself drifting from bar to bar unril one day decided he should try and make something of his life. He'd heard of E-Uni and did some research. He was convinced if he was to make a reputation for himself in EVE, then this would be the place to do it. So he applied for membership.
One Saturday evening he was alerted to a private conversation in which somehow he managed to convince his interrogator that he was the right person for E-Uni as he slyly hid his stolen Goon Membership card in his back pocket. Before he knew it, he was accepted!! He packed his plastic Lidl bags and flre his ship to Aldrat.
He was drawn to E-Uni by the abundance of attractive female staff profile portraits seen there. Imagine his horror when he heard them on voice comms and realised that 99% of them were actually guys. He consequently felt cheap, used and violated. An accurate epitaph if ever there was one and probably the nicest thing ever said about him.
Rumour has it he is still scouring the EVE Universe & Marketplace for some ancient Jove invention that indicates just who is and isn't a real chick!
It is allegedly categorically not true that his personal hangars are packed full of exotic dancers, alcohol and banned substances.
Amongst his most infamous early outbursts were squealing like a girl when he was ganked in low-sec by bad guys having the sheer audacity to pod him! I mean, really?! He then whined incessently about this injustice to Neville Smit, who reportedly put a kill order out on Ghost just to get him to STFU.
The next few weeks weren't much better. Ghost was becoming incredicly proficient in losing ships ineptly, and it was being suggested around the corridors of power at Aldrat that Ghost was an ideal candidate to develop a new EVE Uni Course, The Dummies Guide to PvP. (editors note : in his defence, Ghost didn't technically "lose" his ships, as he knew which part of the galaxy all 37 billion pieces of atomised metal that used to resemble one of his ships were located. Also in his defence, there was a malfunction of his PodSaver on every occasion).
Still traumatised by the profile portraits and pathetically comical killed board, Ghost resorted to spending much of his early Uni career lurking in asteroid belts watching girls go by, trying to spot any real women, but beame quickly disillusioned as that became virtually impossible to achieve without challenging every good looking passer by to a Mumble Duel.
With no luck whatsoevr, he decided to start hunting Whores whilst on Uni offensive roams around the galaxy. This unfortunately upset his fleetmates as Ghost was meant to be concentrating on killing War Targets at the time instead of scouring the dark corridors of Aldrat!
In sheer desperation, and in need of a hug and cookie from the much feared Laura Karpinski (which actually ended up in a court case for improper and inappropriate behaviour and a perma-ban on cookies), he was press ganged into Service in the Personnel Department and his Undock Button was forcibly removed from all his ships.
Somehow he had managed to convince Laura of his worth and blag his way into the E-Uni Personnel Department. This obviously gave people the wrong impression that he knows what he wass doing and wass reasonably (in)competant. He was subsequently given a mop and broom and taken in chains to the PO Dept Office.
He attacked the job with gusto, and soon the PO Dept floors were the shiniest in all of Aldrat. He began to hear whipers of concern around the department about their nemesis known only as "The Queue" who was proving to be a definitive issue.
Bravely a few hushed conversations were had and a plan was hatched to take on the mighty Queue.
This actually turned into Ghost's proudest moment so far in EVE to date, when along with some of his esteemed PO friends & colleagues, in particular Elvis and The Ulf were awarded the EVE University Service Medal of Excellence for being part of an elite E-Uni PO Dept Special Ops Stealth Ninja Hit Squad that decimated "The Queue" from 3 weeks to 24 hrs in less that 12 days.
Ghost then consequently whined like a girls that there was too little work to do afterwards. Just can't please some people eh? Elvis in fact became so disillusioned that he started to plot a Coup and started a mini rebellion in the PO Dept and held meetings in strange woods and lands of mythical magic and sorcery, more commonly known to mortals as a World of Warcraft.
Now desperate to stop the constant whining, PO Management decided to increase his workload and promote Ghost to a Senior Personnel Officer role, hoping this would have the desired effect. It didn't. However, he was shocked that Elvis was gradually increasing his Army of Darkness and even The Ulf had jumped ship to attend these meetings.
One night when scrounging for crumbs left over from everyone else's cookies, Ghost found the key to the drawer containng the staff Undock Buttons. He cackled with glee as he took the key and launched out the airlock, and was frustrated at his inability to target lock and kill people until he realised that in his rush for freedom, he'd actually boarded his Pod and not a shiny combat vessel.
After praying no-one had noticed, he reshipped and started to learn some PvP tips from exasperated colleagues and was often used as target practice. Yet again, soon the Evil Hordes were lining up to attack E-Uni and Ghost felt that now was his time to shine.
Amazingly enough, after miniutes and minutes of training, he joined Operation Fortress and he has since given the obviously false impression that he is actually an accomplished EWAR/ECM pilot that likes nothing more than jamming the cr*p out of his targets whilst his fleetmates blow them to hell and back.
Well that's the theory anyway. (Just don't mention the gate camp bust that was an epic fail!) Irrsepectively, Ghost would whine, moan & bitch if he was not added to any kill mail that he was in the vicinity of 300M AU of.
This phenomena was backed by a strange and unheard of occurrance, awarding Ghost a combat medal ... The EVE University Silver Cross no less. (Rumours that he stole it off an exotic dancer are grossly unfair and exaggerated).
Ingame Ghost will often be found trolling the E-Uni chat channel, abusing his colleagues on Mumble or drunk in the dark seedy depths of Aldrat. Occasionally he has been known to interview candidates for EVE Uni and actually work for a living, but that is beleieved to be a nasty rumour.
IRL Ghost is originally from Bournemouth, England and is ex-UK military, and also an ex-Airline Operations Manager for a major UK based airline. He now works in IT breaking computers and servers.
Durinh his military career Ghost saw combat ops in too many places and consequently developed a phobia of beach holidays due to many tours in sandy locations around the globe in recent times. Future holidays to the Blakans are also off the cards. Ghost has trained sarcasm, put downs and insults to Level 5 despite actually being a nice guy. Allegedly.
An unfortunate side effect of military combat ops is that within EVE, the PO Dept uses the phrase "incoming" to announce new Unistas, which often sees Ghost diving under a table screaming for air support.
In his spare time, Ghost can be found playing drums for an unsigned Indie Rock band or causing chaos in Scotland, where he now resides. He is determined to one day capture a live Haggis.
