Gear: (Your characters will have access to low level clickware and gear, at most one piece of valuable and story driven gear that is of better quality.

Background: Born in Ramsgate, Jerome's life was one surrounded by the mechanic industry. Things like boats, airships and other automobiles molded Jerome to the person he is now. His father was a mechanic by trade, and he worked on airships and boats for a living. Jerome often went up to Scrag Town to view the airships or down to the docks to examine boats. By the time Jerome was 16, he began to work on basic maintenance tasks for ships and boats alike. Years went by, and Jerome honed his profession, until he desired more. Jerome sought out piloting lessons and boating lessons. He learned the tricks of the trade to become a pilot or a driver for boats and airships alike. Jerome then began to become aware through some of his buddies that there was top dollar being paid to transport "Hot Goods". So, motivated by money Jerome went to neighbouring towns like Innsbroke in the North, or Shearpoint in the south. Transporting stolen or hot material into Ramsgate. Legal work he did as well, but smuggling was his major tip of the trade. Now, Jerome spends his days doing nearby jobs, or transporting smuggled goods up and down the ports of trades, to earn some petty change. Contacts: Jerome knows a lot of fellow smugglers, clients from his smuggling days and some mechanics as well, also boat and airship salesmen. [/hider]
