Hello! I am very interested in making a character, but I have an idea that needs approval! If the idea does not work out, I shall take the 2nd Gunner spot. Sorry for the wall of text. 

So, perhaps there could be a pilot? Someone who flies a small, nimble, homegrown craft that will be built upon and grow like the character who flies it as the story progresses? The general idea is that my character has always had some sort of... natural attraction to flying, but being a member of a farming family, he/she (haven't really decided yet) never would have seem to have a chance. Regardless, he/she never lost sight of the dream to fly, and did whatever he/she could to learn about flying. Every book the library had to offer on aviation he/she checked out, read cover to cover, and kept learning. This character spend his/her freetime drawing up designs, making paper models of said designs, testing, learning, doing whatever he/she could. Now a young adult, she began to slowly build her first plane in the barn. His/her parents, while hesitant, never saw anything wrong with their child having such a passionate love for the sky, and thus tried the best they could to help his/her dream. Soon they became the talk of the town for a bit. People would stop by occasionally to see the progress on the plane. It was quite the attraction. Finally after a few years, the plane was finished. A unique design, pieced together by the pilot him/herself! The practically the whole town came to watch it take off from the fields. The plane took the skies, marking the beginning of the character's adventures. Soon after, he/she decided to leave the small town to explore the world in his/her aircraft. Saying a heartfelt goodbye to his/her parents, he/she took to the skies. 

Now my character will have only been traveling a few months and had arrived at the island of Krukow a day or so ago. He/She is from a rural island outside of the Crucible's grasp much like Krukow (Not for long as I read >:D), but it was somewhat bigger and not as isolated. Much more detail and backstory of course will be explained in both the CS and the actual RP. I just thought it would be neat, if not complete, to have a crack pilot aboard! :D. Well... I say crack pilot... He/She is of course, drawn to the flying, but I won't forget they only started a few months ago and have much to learn. My character won't just be "The Teacher" from Sky Crawlers right off the bat XD. 

Anyway, if that's not a good idea, I will just make the CS for the gunner slot.
