Background: For this section it's important to know that it has been somewhere around fifty years since Humanity took to the sky. This means it's incredibly unlikely that your character would be fit for Military Service aboard a Naval Ship AND have been alive during the War of Atomic Awakening.
Likewise, for location references like city names, many flying cities are named after either the cities they were made from, or simply cities that were left behind. For example, the capitol city that our characters will be living in is called Baltimore. So names for cities can be things like Cleveland, Denver, Austin and so on. And while these are all United States names, of course city names from other countries are perfectly acceptable. Just understand that names that come from other countries will be much further away from the main city... it's no different than if your character was born in Japan but now crews an American Vessel.
There also are no Nations. The United States does not exist, Japan, Germany, Russia, so on and so forth. There is now simply Humanity, and the cities named after the old world.
Crew Position: The positions available within the Crew are Helmsman (There is only one), Gunner, and Engineer. While the first two are obvious, an Engineer can have many different jobs. An Engineer typically does a little of everything, and takes care of whatever problem they are closest to, but to give you a general view of what they do... an Engineer repairs and unjams weaponry, repairs and operates the engine, and repairs the balloon keeping the ship afloat (Without which the ship drops like a rock). While the job of the Helmsman and the Gunners stays relatively the same no matter how big the ship gets, as technology progresses the Engineer is expected to know more systems. For example, Radios aren't a thing right from the start, but not too far into the future they'll be expected to know how to operate and repair them.
Also, while ships are currently limited to Frigates, in the future "Pilot" will become an available Crew Position for anyone to switch to if they desire. This will likely become a position when humanity develops Cruisers.
Aspirations: Simply put, this is any desires your character has. Is there a giant flying white whale that was the cause of the death of your family, and you seek to avenge them by one day slaying the beast? Or perhaps its your general aspiration to see Humanity returned to the surface, and to see the beasts that arose from the Earth annihilated. Or, maybe you're a simple person... maybe all you want is to someday pilot a fighter, and soar through the skies like the dragons you face. Free, unchained, and fearing for your life every single second because this thing was put together by monkeys and there's a dragon on your ass.
