Persona

Personality Description:
Shannon is very dedicated to his chosen profession and is famously impatient with anything else. As result social niceties such as common courtesy (and from time to time common sense) escapes him. As a result he tends to be the loner type preferring either working on customers orders or his latest invention to socializing. The man also tends to use profane language to such a degree that most go out of their way to avoid. A belief in the virtues of hard work and honest pay ingrains him with a practical mindset not much given to jokes although he does have a somewhat dry humor some don't share. But Shannon would be the first to admit he does like a good joke despite his practical mindset. In the end though Shannon is a romantic who wants to be a cynic.

Likes/Loves:

Shannon's greatest love in life is machinery and all the complexities involved. The man could easily spend every waking moment working or tinkering with machines of all kinds. But his biggest passion is creating new machines or improving current ones. He also enjoys fine food and is quite a talented chef with a particular flair for spicy food although he does have a sweet tooth. This love of fine food was fueled by his mother who was a famous chef before her untimely death when Shannon was 9. Long days working at the shop have seen him come to like good music and he attends concerts whenever he can. Also he likes to enjoy a few smokes after a hard days work with a drink or two to wash it all down. Unknown to most however is a desire to learn how to play guitar and during long nights he can be found guitar in hand atop his shop practicing a few quiet chords.

Dislikes/Hates:
Pretty much anyone who wastes his time. Shannon is famously impatient with mainstream society viewing them as sheep with no minds of their own. If you come to his shop you better be asking him to fix something that is broken or improve something that could be better otherwise it will not end well for you. He also hates anyone who nags him about his smokes and anyone who tries to convince him to give them up will face severe punishment. Furthermore if you every touch anything in his shop without his permission you had best start running the moment your fingers land on said object. The man also hates waiting in line at produce markets because random people try to talk to him asking his opinion on produce and cooking due to his reputation as a chef. And lastly the man hates when his machines lose to another mechanic's machines.

History

Past:

Growing up in a small village up North Shannon was somewhat of a rebel always getting into fights. His Rarperian heritage a major factor in this for the other children were pure Chryntine and their parent's racist views were echoed by the other children. But his fists and iron will saw him win every fight much to his parents delight and embarrassment. His father was a metal worker who was often gone long periods of time helping build cities across the world. From a young age Shannon was familiar with the names of far flung cities and their cultures something his Rarperian side liked. His mother was a famous chef who ran a profitable cafe and restaurant travelers frequented as the village was near many important trade and transportation routes. And they too brought tales of far flung places.

Growing up thus he was relatively happy and carefree. Friends were eventually made and school attended. But the the idyll of childhood came crashing down a few weeks after his 9th birthday. His mother had decided to take an airship to a city far south to restock her supply of southern spices. But on route to that city the airship crashed killing 12 passengers and 4 crew including his mother. The investigation later discovered the crash the fault of lack of proper maintenance. This more then anything angered the child. Then and There Shannon decided to become a mechanic so no one else would lose their mother.

His father for the most part supported his son's decision and enrolled him in a technical school in Naldraenth. Shannon would spend 5 years in this school before moving onto a A Collage for Technology and Innovation. And other five years would be spent here honing his theoretical and practical skills. Graduating top of his class and with honors he went on to an apprenticeship with an absolute asshole of a mechanic who nonetheless taught Shannon a great deal. After 2 years of that he was a full fledged mechanic and went on to open his own repair shop and garage. Offering top quality repairs at rock bottom prices he hoped to entice people into getting their repairs their equipment need. All so some other child doesn't suffer the same fate he did.


Present:
Now with his own shop and business pouring in Shannon is happy as can be. His shop despite his rock bottom price is turning a healthy profit and his mother's death doesn't haunt him anymore.



Future:
Shannon hopes to teach every cheap Airship captain that a few buck spent in repairs is better then telling some kid their mother died. All because they wanted to save a few dollars.

Residence

Current Residence:
He Lives within the Kingdom of Naldraenth

Current Residence Description:
Top floor of his repair shop and garage which is a block away from the main Airship docks. The top floor is his living quarters and features three bedrooms,two bathrooms,and a spacious combined kitchen and living room. The shop itself is big enough to fly in a medium sized airship and is equipped with all the latest tools and diagnostic equipment some of it custom made by Shannon. His office is also on the bottom floor just off the shop's airship hanger.


-------------------------------------------------------------------

Career/Job

Current Job/Career:
He is a repair and service technician for anything that needs fixing be it a military airship to a busted door.

Current Job/Career Description:
Shannon's day to day routine consist of preforming routine maintenance on a number of airships big and small. Also customers sometimes request improvement on existing systems usually tonnage increasing so more cargo can be carried. And then you have your more illicit types who want their airships tricked out for speed or smuggling. As result he has come to be a trustworthy person handling such matters with subtly and a looking the other way attitude. Also he preforms household repairs of all kinds such as plumbing and structural repairs.

So begins...
