Forum Nickname: Xiphon III
Species: Human
Transformations: None
Appearance: 6’1”, black hair and hazel eyes. Not exactly buff, but still strong enough to do the work needed on his ship. Tends to be seen in early 1920s clothing, mostly simple engineering clothes, but does have finery on board. His favorite “casual” outfit, however, is a pair of black slacks, a dark scarlet button up shirt with brass buttons, and a brown longcoat.
Character type: Tinkerer Savant
Weapon of Choice: Pistol grip Rapier, and the Aura’s cannons
Magical capabilities: None, although some might consider his tinkering ability somewhat supernatural
Personality: While quite distantly polite with those he’s unfamiliar with, Xiphon is rather friendly, and quick to lend a hand. Ever a gentleman, he is, though not unable to appreciate a lovely lady. Not quite used to dealing with things out of what he considers the ordinary, he’s still quick to put on a smile and welcome you aboard. But anger him, injure his friends, or insult his ship? Then he’s relentless, losing all traces of friendliness.
Equipment: Boots of Awesome: They have the appearance of basic brown military boots, they hide an intricate system that draws moisture from the air and expels it from the soles as high pressure steam, allowing hovering and short bursts of flight.
Nice Hat: A hat taking on the appearance of a black military flatcap, but secretly hides many mechanisms of Xiphon’s own design.
Sky Ship(S.S.) Aura: The Sky Ship Aura is a unique bit of construction, courtesy of yours truly, able to keep afloat on two of her engines at the least, although she loses most of her maneuverability that the six rotor design gives her. She has a carrying capacity of up to twelve Flight-ready Ornithopters in her hold, with a hatch to allow mid flight launch and retrieval through a hook-crane. She can hold plenty more if you don't mind stacking them up a bit. She's a full hundred and twelve meters of length, with a forty meter width at midships, with the appearance of a classic sailing ship. Coming to a forward point, she has a wider bow to facilitate a forward motion focused flight pattern. Not necessarily built for combat, she does have some capabilities. A small, four gun battery on each side of the ship in the upper decks, as well as a carry-hook on each ornithopter that could be used for bombings or the like, in a pinch. But the pride and joy of the ship is the full lounge in the bow, allowing for the comfort of guests, especially the pretty ones.
