In-Character
Talvin Muircastle spent a long time in Flight School, doing what he could to help bring up young pilots. Finally, he was encouraged to strike out on his own. He spent a brief time flying with the Earthen Order, but he found their beliefs an uncomfortable fit, even though he enjoyed the company of the people. Leaving amicably, he worked as a Trader and occasional Combat Pilot for the Jade Hand.

Business took him often to Fuseli, and he became close with a blind radio operator there, Dianna. Eventually they married, and she now travels with him under the Crimson Armada banner in his plane "Runagate".

Out-of-Character
The In-Character history is a fair representation of my time in Skyrates: Flight-School-4-Life, then Earthen Order when FS4L ceased to be viable, but the religious aspects of the RP gave some of my friends pause, and I switched to Green. That's where things diverge.


 * Dianna really is totally blind (she joins chat using Skylight) and she really is my RL wife and mother of our child.
 * Anna Ferret's character is no relation to our characters, but in Real-Life she is our minor daughter. We introduced her to Skyrates with Calvin's blessing, and when she chose to join Red, we followed her to better keep an eye on her.

During Round 2.8, I started putting a lot of time and effort into cleaning up this Wiki. I am not a member of the Skybrary Staff per se, I am just a Skybrarian.

I am noted for the following:
 * I stubbornly refuse to play the Ratings game.
 * I am known for making horrible puns on the Radio.
 * On June 16, 2014, I got Special:Wantedpages completely cleared of dead links. There will be more to come, to be sure!

I have a Sandbox where I keep whatever bit of Wiki code I am currently toying with.
