- - - - (Personal Details)
First Name: Charles
Last Name: Richardson
Age: 38
Sex: Male
Home Nation: Outer Sky Republic
Appearance: Tall, a good 6ft 5. Rather thin with eyes that could be described as mousy.
Personality: What is there to truly say about personalities? Well, personalities can be judged in all manner of ways and I can tell you they are a pain to write. But here we have Mr Richardson, Captain Richardson. A picture of what happens when you allow someone to not have a psych evaluation. He is as mad as a box of kippers… wait? Does that work? Box of kippers can't always be mad. They are just kippers. Nevermind, he has been through hell and back and kept a smile on his face. Very few things will phase him, not to say he is invincible. He can never turn down a cat or a kitten. Heck if a lizard acts as a kitten he will become a ball of marshmallows (Which is far from normal) he oozes eccentricity and madness follows him wherever he goes. Friendly and funny are words that could follow him too, but if they are laughing t him or with him he will never know.
History: Born on a airship mid run from the west Sky Republic to the north the sky is all he knows and his only love. Born to a family of Skylarkers (I'll write some lore about them later) he was taught everything he needed to know when it came to flying and mid air combat, he wasn't what you would call a natural but he did enjoy it. He would spend all his free time on working and learning his craft the best degree he could manage. When he came of age he joined the Skylarks, an important military force that prevents bandits and pirates between the trading routs.
When he got in he was given the rank and title of Lieutenant, however given his aloof nature he often flew off the rails preventing him from reaching any higher. When he reached the age of 29 he left the skylarks and from his earnings brought a ship to go adventuring, he realised too soon that he couldn't survive by adventuring so he took a job with the merchant navy flying surplus to the lands. He now finds himself at a loose end after being fired, and here his adventure begins.
Occupation: Airship Pilot doing runs from Outlying settlements of the exclusion zone this includes the occasional pass over Paradise but he has never seen what is there.

@tex((Imma try to make this look pro, dont hold out though))
The Outer Sky Republic are a large fighting force of trained soldiers. However, they are built over the top of large sulphur pits. Though these pits can prove very useful for gun powder if left for too long in the heat they boil and can explode. To combat this and add to their fighting presence they introduced and created very basic airships to build a higher town. It worked, barely but it worked. They moved from the very basic ships that were just a bored and a large fan to more advanced models where they used Arcane to move the engines. These still weren't reliable as often the engines would pack up or the balloon would lose air often resulting in failures. ((I am not saying I want a huge battle ship. But I sort of expected that a steam-punk RP would have at least a bit of airship)) When he left the Navy he used his commision sell price and money he scraped together to buy a decent airship, one that had a decent engine and bedding arngement. However it takes alot of power to control
Thats what I am saying, no huge battle ship. Just a ship that carries a good ammount of cargo and enough guns for defense
