[edit] Character Description
Grey is a gray fox from Eltsina. He is an easy-going inventor which constantly has grease on his paws, and is tinkering with something. He is most noted for his kindness and is fiercely loyal to his friends. This loyalty and trust can (and is often) taken advantage of, but he doesn't mind.
He is often seen wearing a grey flight jacket with blue trim, and a white silk flight scarf when flying, a left over from his days at flying open-topped planes.
[edit] Character Background
Grey was born to a rich merchant family on Eltsina, but his independent streak drove him out into the wild as soon as he could raise the money to buy an old CR-4P. Cast out from his family, he never looked back and soon had upgraded to the current "Grey Death" - a Hades model which he treasures and tinkers with in his spare time.
However, his expulsion from his merchant upbringing did not quelch the drive to make money that was in his blood. Grey has flown to most of the skylands with the exception of the far off lands of Uuwerk and Grottopolis, and his travels tend to center around skylands with profitable trade opportunities.
Currently Grey resides in Islo with his independent-minded brethren.
[edit] Character Personality
Grey's personality is naive and trusting, slow to anger yet quick to defend his friends. He also can be oblivious if he is working on one of his inventions, and tends to scribble plans on any writing surface when inspiration strikes. This has been muted a bit lately with the addition of crewmembers to care for, but Grey is fiercely protective of both Inessa and especially Elena.
[edit] Ship Bio
Grey is currently flying a newly-bought Hades, the 'Grey Death'. Upgrades are currently being bought, but the Grey Death is the fourth ship bearing the name, and has a grey paint scheme with white and red secondaries.
[edit] Crew
*Inessa Kalinin, of Getty, Mechanic.
Shy to the point of rarely leaving the plane, Inessa has proven to be a valuable mechanic with a gift for maintaining and even improving upon Grey's tinkering. It is possible that the Grey Death would have crashed many times had it not been for the steady eye of Inessa. Hopefully she will come out of her shell soon as well, but Grey believes this is only a matter of time.
Little is known about the history of Inessa as she is reluctant to speak of it.
*Elena Osipov, of Juliet, Trader.
Elena first stowed away on a plane to get away from abusive parents - which turned out to be the Grey Death. Found shivering in the hold, Grey was nearly cut to ribbons by the near feral child, but he gained her confidence and has been taking care of her since. Her street wise knowledge and near-perennial hyper-happy attitude made her into a great trader for unwary merchants who fell for her wiles.
It has been two years since she arrived on the Grey Death, and Elena has slowly become a semi-normal child, but her unique perspective of the world tends to shock people who are unaware of her background. Both Grey and Elena are extremely protective of each other, and Elena still goes feral if someone she likes is hurt. Recently hurt during a pirate attack, Elena is sporting a mechanical prothestic leg.
*Maya Koslov, of Goldenrod, Navigator.
Maya is another stowaway on Grey's ship, but this time on Islo, and she merely wanted to explore the world. After proving she could hold her own, she has become part of the crew of the Grey Death, much to the delight of Elena, who became an instant friend and inseperable playmate. Making Grey even more miserable is the fact that the two are almost identical - except for Elena's metal leg. Fortunately, Maya has a natural instinct for guiding the Grey Death out of trouble.
