Skyball, man, sport of kings. I try to play a few games whenever I get the chance, usually a gym with some practice teams on most Gallente stations so I make sure I keep my skills honed. Of course, a healthy mind in a healthy body, so I stick to a strict calisthenics routine.
Otherwise, uh ... I like to hit the entertainment districts when I get the chance, watch a holo, see a game, go dancing.
I've been working for a few months on trying to write a skyball program for hobgoblins - it's going pretty well, so far, but it's hard to calibrate the speed so they don't go offside all the time. When I'm not wandering the station or planet, I like to take the time to hang out with my crew in the hangar, you know, throw a few balls, have a smoke and some beers.
Babysitting my niece and nephew is just about the best thing there is. Took them surfing on Vylade III a few weeks ago. Little ***** are natural at it.

Honestly, I have many hobbies. But my favorite, if not most childish, is hologames. Seriously, those are fun. Especially if you have a Battlecruiser or larger, you can just hook a holocomputer up to the main CPU core and it's like you can run anything! The best games are the ones you can play against people from all over New Eden with. There's even one where you fly spaceships in another galaxy! |

When it comes to down time I tend to go into a micromanaging mode. Review finances, check corp inventory, re-review finances, make important purchases, check ship maintenance, re-re-review finances, fall asleep at my desk, wake up to crew payment schedule and complaints (little bastards have the right, I guess, for how many dangerous situations I put them into on a daily basis).
I suppose the regular stuff that can be done on a station in null sec. Not a whole lot of traffic that way except the usual neutral party passing through or members of my alliance. Once in a while my alliance mates and I hit the bar at the station with our crew and get rowdy with the guys off the assembly lines I think it does us all a little good to know the station staff. Keeps conversation fresh at least.
I suppose my real time waster is to go shopping in Amarr after clone jumping to their space. I must say the Amarr really have an eye for art. Everything is just so elegant in their stations and they have good books in philosophy, religion, romance, or anything else. Plus they have damn good station food.

I end my flights frustrated. Either waking up in a new frail body or docking frustrated at the course of prey. I'm always stressed by something. Memories still plague me, and paranoia still haunts me outside of the capsule. What people wish to or have done to me is something that is regularly on my mind.
Even in the occasion that I have tasted blood, even where I've bathed in it; the laying waste to immortals and their crew leaves me invigorated and often very careless. I leave ship, seeking further spoils and have paid a grave price in pursuing them.
Drinks don't cut it. And drugs only worsen my situation. I don't have control where I need it most.
I committed atrocities upon atrocities, even to those who deserve them. As much as I justify them, I also know I deserve to burn for them.
Lovers offer something I can properly vent my situation in but where I find them can be considered reckless. Also my definition of "lovers" can be considered very warped.
Perhaps in summary, my time spent outside the capsule is time spent hurting myself or setting myself up to be hurt. After all, I am immortal, a clone, with no control or ownership to my body anymore than livestock. My rage has a price and myself is on the menu.
That being said, I spent my time outside the capsule venturing into the crowd I know so well, the crowd that loathes me; the endless crowd that has been walked over by megacorporate society. Should that be crew that aim to do harm to me, or in the depths of stations/planets that prey on our kind, the capsuleers who let their curiosity drive themselves in the jaws of predators. I do it knowing I'm going to suffer, knowing I'm going to eventually die.
Because that's what I deserve.
Because tomorrow I ride out again to paint the stars red with blood of immortals and their crews.
And in the event my implants don't kick in, that I don't wake from my endless rage and or the endless horror that is my life... then my nightmares will stop and I will finally be at peace. |

When I'm done with freighter business for a day, I spend most of my free time by checking those titanic cargo bays of my freighters; if they are fully empty, if they are fully ready for another trip next day.
Of course I'm not doing it literally by myself (well at least for the most parts), I'm using high-speed camera drones with atom-driven nuclear camera compression, you mind. Which is good, but they are sometimes some damn quick, I have to replay the recorded data twice. Can you imagine replaying 2 and half kilometers long ship-cargo data?! Quite energy suckling away, I must say. Well. That's for the cargo part. I also have to check the engines (one of them is bigger than entire buildings on colonies) which makes all dizzy and greasy, oh lord!
But hey, that's the part of being a god damn spaceship captain of the biggest ships in high security space. After all of this, I just go to nearest bar, get drunk and drink all the Quafe up to morning. And sometimes I dance. And read books. Mostly I can't however finish a single unicorn flying stupid book, because everyone need to move something all the time!! ...oh jeez!
Did I check the engines today? I hate those engines!

I used to take work far too seriously before I became a pilot, but I've been trying to take things easier these days. I still take care of myself - too much time in the pod and you'll lose all your muscles, so working out is a given. And if I miss Saturday dinner with my family, my aunt Mahin will make sure I regret it.
Oh, and I do play a bit of Skyball, Kaid Hayden, so if you're ever in Kibursha and feel like seeing why Amarrians are the chosen people... |

I sometimes join the clone soldiers in their PT runs, just to stay in shape. They let me in because, well, I do orbital bombardments for them. Other days I might fly my old Dragonfly or Mantis, just for fun. But when I'm truly not in space, I participate in the research and development for new and experimental technologies, take trips to visit family, or just go out and get drinks with some of my more veteran crewmembers and fellow capsuleers. I've had a lover or two thrown in there but I've always seemed to screw that part of my life majorly. Guess people skills aren't my forte. |

Breaking my kind? Explain? Because I am not a complete psychopath like you it means there is something flawed about how I chose to live my life?

Mostly I use my out of pod time to relax a bit. Watch some holo-reels, have a couple of drinks or catch up on some much needed sleep. But I do have to spend some time on business, looking after my accounts, paying my crew etc. Typically I would dedicate one night every standard month to do this, which seems to work well. |

I devote much of my time to studying the Jovians, along with the Sanshas; I am beginning to suspect the man calling himself Sansha Kuvakei may not be who he says he is.
Apart from that, i exercise rigorously, and discuss whatever else is on my min with my comrades. I also offer education about the Jovians and what we know, as well as theories on them and the Sanshas, as well as the Sleeper Drones.
I am.. very interested in the Jovians; I would join their Directorate at a moment's notice if I could. |

I would suggest adding some cultural items to that list. Recently I've been studying cooking, paper-folding and the tea ceremony in addition to my physical and martial arts training. |

I shall take your words under advisement, folding paper certainly sounds like a good enough way to get my motor control software up to some form of functionality. That being said, I've been studying the works of certain Ni-Kunni poets and authors. It is rather refreshing to gain an insight into how our ally views the world.

I suppose I am unlike many capsuleers in that my "job", such as it is, takes place mostly outside my capsule. Mostly, I fly to the reaches of the universe and do my best to minister to the faithful. Often to do that I must do my part to destroy the local menace; that requires a ship. However, my ecclesiastical duties usually involve being outside my ship to either preach or study.
As recreation goes, I do like to go to more characterful bars and clubs in whatever area I am in and relax. It is amazing how wide your perspective of the universe gets when you don't know, from day to day, whether you will be staying in a Matari tavern or a slum-lord's sleep tank for the night. You appreciate how much more vast the differences are from person to person than the differences from race to race.
So outside of those, at my own apartments I do engage in a bit of swordplay and exercise to keep myself fit. I try to read as well, especially local cultural books. If one thing has taught me how much value there is in the Amarr-Caldari trust, it is reading their fascinating doctrines on business ethics. Sometimes, their notions of sacrificing oneself for the state is so sweetly familiar. "What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?"

This week, my crew and I took a vacation to Auvergne VIII, a barren planet. We scoped out the system and only found gas giants and dead terrestrials. Somehow, we had the inclination that the best place to go camping for a week was on this planet. I wanted to load up a fission reactor station and settle down, check out what's going on through Scope and hit on Losschyve, a geologist from Metserel who wanted to come along.
Coopers, however, had a different plan in mind and wanted to load up an inflatable module station. Spending a week on this dead terrestrial as new colonists would have from long ago. I felt up for the challenge, however, inflatable modules mean little living space and even less space for food. We ended up eating rations for that week, and I could not have any personal time with our sultry scientist.
With everyone living on stations for so long, we weren't all that ready for a planet with gravity pulling at 4.9m/s^2. After getting suited up, we'd toss a ball fifty meters with little effort and with a little jump, we could toss each other five to ten meters before touching the surface.
It's exactly the kind of vacation I needed. |

Who is preaching pacifism? I preach the faith. The Lord provided me with mercy and laser cannons.
