Aeronauts are folk who ply the skies aboard airships of every description. Much as a sailor, an aeronaut must be quite familiar with their vessel, skilled with every role from pilot to navigator to engineer to ensure the ship gets from port to port in one piece.

You grew up on the streets. You know where to hide and when your puppy dog eyes will earn you a hot meal.

Why were you on the streets? Were you a runaway? An orphan? Or just an adventurous kid who stayed out late?

You were a member of an outlaw band. You might have been part of a troop of cutthroat bandits, or a resistance movement battling a tyrant, or a pirate fleet. You lived outside of settled lands, and your name was a terror to rich travelers.
