Education: Airship vocational school, fathers workshop

Other important info: Has had a love for swashbuckling tales of adventure since a young age, avid reader
Background:

Matt is a true example of a self made man. Born the only child of a hard working pair of airship mechanics, he didn't have a particularly well-endowed childhood, but he was raised well and is really good at appreciating what he has. Though they were often out working late at night, his parents worked hard to care for their son, and his father spent many an evening treating young Matt to adventurous bed-time stories. The pair of "big boys" as his mother always called them, happened to fall in love with a tale about a young boy who fights off a mutinous crew of pirates - led by one well known cook - to secure long-buried treasure of a one Captain Flint. So profound was Matt's love of the book that to this day he carries with him a small copy of Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island in his breast pocket. Matt also gained an interest in machinery from his childhood.

As he grew older, Matt wanted to spend his days as a sailor on schooner, but life decided to give him a different role. Steam-powered vessels coming into prominence, and an incentive for his parents to bring their child into their branch of work, made for a quick course to an Airship Tech Vocational School. Upset at first, he accepted his fate, considering airships a kind of flying sailboat. Being a bright, and relatively strong, boy, Matt quickly excelled as a Gearhead, a Pilot, and in combat against all sorts of possible dangers to an airship.

Finishing school at the age of 18, he became the mechanic, and later captain, of a mailship - the A.S. Homing Pidgeon. Here is were fortune hit him. During a simple mailrun to the other side of Libennia, a storm led Captain Slater off course into swamps of Belgit, where he came across a stranded fellow. The rescue operation was long and dangerous, but turned out to be well worth it. The man in question happened to be a diplomat sent by Libennia to try and recruit help from Belgit, who was presumed killed by Noverian spies for a while now. The reward for the diplomats rescue made Matt, at age 24, richer then he had ever imagined possible as a child.

After giving half the money to his parents so they can age in comfort, Matt spent the rest of his share on a small, comfortable, state-of the art airship he dubbed the Hispaniola. It is almost as maneuverable as standard heavier-than-air aircraft, capable of high altitude flight, and heavily re-in-forced. Utilizing the Hispaniola Matt became a businessman, and kindly provided almost anyone with services ranging from transport, to Noverian Air Blockade Runs. Unfortunately Lady luck wasn't kind enough to stay with him, and though his first few jobs were successful, Matt's low-fare business fell into a slump due to rising airship fuel prices and new methods of transportation such as automobiles.

The past year and a half without work has left Matt in shambles. Debt is swallowing his business fast and pride prevents him from borrowing of the money he gave to his parents. He's spent the past two days in Lucida, at the airship station, with his beloved Hispaniola impounded, and the bank threatening to take it away if he doesn't make his next payment. That's when he comes across one of the flyers. “special expedition to the other side of the world – riches beyond your wildest dreams!” It looks like a way to keep his Hispaniola and to live through swashbuckling adventure just like that in Treasure Island.
 
I did I put that I saw you guys and the roof and joined you there so for he other latecomers you might want to use that unless you can think of another creative way to find us all. better yet you could yell to us to hold up and wait or signal us somehow to imply you want us to wait for you
 
That wasn't creative!
Did you see the posts about the barricades, the policemen, etc? You just laddydah-ed up to the rooftops, asked Lewis 'u guyz the advet3rz kids?'. Did he just run up the side of the building to the roof? That's just not right. Why wouldn't some of the characters beat the lard out of you for getting the jump on them? They are fleeing, after all, so it would be natural for them to A) not trust you B) run away from you, and a lot of other options.
Your posts made LITTLE sense, if any. I'm not trying to be rude, but it was a bit of a lazy post.
 
the important thing is that we keep things moving along. let's not get too caught up over minor plot holes and stuff.

also let's move any more discussions to the OoC thread so this one isn't too cluttered up for newcomers!
