You have a love of flying crafts that goes beyond just a hobby or profession. Each one has a name, a story. The curvatures of the body style, the engine size and thrust, the maneuverability and ease of evasion.
Suggested Characteristics
Pilots are often known for being confident and brash. It wouldn't be out of the norm for them to be viewed as cocky. However, some pilots over the years may have learned to temper those emotions for a more laid back approach. After all, every good pilot knows that getting to your destination in one piece is usually preferred.
| d8 | Personality Trait |
|---|---|
| 1 | I always have a plan for what to do when things go wrong. |
| 2 | I am always calm, no matter what the situation. I never raise my voice or let my emotions control me. |
| 3 | I want to go fast, and if everyone else looses their lunch to do it, then so be it. |
| 4 | I would rather make a new friend than a new enemy. |
| 5 | I am incredibly slow to trust. Those who seem the fairest often have the most to hide. |

| 7 | The best way to get me to do something is to tell me I can’t do it. |

| d6 | Ideal |

| 1 | Honor. I am trusted to keep this ship afloat and will do so with dignity. (Lawful) |
| 2 | Freedom. Chains are meant to be broken, as are those who would forge them. (Chaotic) |
| 3 | Charity. I help people whether they can pay me for my services or not. (Good) |
| 4 | Ambition. I will do whatever it takes to become the best pilot in the galaxy, even if that means eliminating my competition. (Evil) |
| 5 | People. I’m loyal to my friends and my ship, not to any ideals, and everyone else can take a trip out the airlock for all I care. (Neutral) |
| 6 | Redemption. I may screw this up, but I bet my next try will be even better. (Good) |

| 3 | I lost my ship in a bet, but I aim to win it back. |
| 4 | I will become the greatest pilot that ever lived. |

| d6 | Flaw |
|---|---|
| 1 | When I see a top of the line ship, I can’t think about anything but flying it. |
| 2 | When faced with a choice between the ship and my friends, I usually choose the ship. |
| 3 | If there’s a plan, I’ll forget it. If I don’t forget it, I’ll ignore it. |
| 4 | My obsession with my ship appear to be unhealthy to my peers. I don't mind. My baby and I are doing just fine. |
| 5 | I turn tail and run when things look bad. Especially when my engines are better than yours. |
| 6 | An innocent person died in a crash while I was piloting a race. That isn't really the point. I crashed. |
You aren't the type of person who messes around when it comes to being behind the stick. If you aren't flying fast, then you aren't really flying, and its even better if you can do so with a few barrel rolls and nose dives.
