User:Vic Viper

Vic Viper. A ferret of mystery. Where he flies, nobody knows.

Description
He has chocolate-brown fur, and beady blue eyes. He usually wears a green flight suit, streaked with grease from the latest crisis his plane, the Axelay, has thrown at him. On his head, he usually wears a tan fedora with a blue band around it, the mark of his membership in the Azure League, and a pair of brass goggles, held around his head by a leather strap. He's young, yet experienced in the ways of skyrating.

Personality
His manner is talkative, yet slightly cold, and he talks at length about complex, technical topics which others often do not understand or know about, as if he preferred the company of books and machines to people. He's a city kid: he talks quickly and in clipped tones, as if the words he's speaking have somewhere to be. His accent is somewhere between Alaskan and Brooklyn, like an unholy amalgam of the Scout from Team Fortress 2 and Sarah Palin: quick and peppered with contractions (not all of them grammatically acceptable).

History
As a young ferret, he grew up on Cidade, under the care of his parents, Nicholas and Ikaruga Viper; Nicholas worked as a merchant, Ikaruga as a homemaker. They weren't poor by Skytopian standards, but they definitely weren't rich. As he grew up, he gained an admiration for the flying machines around him; how they made Skytopian life possible, and how he could make that life better through science. Eventually, he grew to the point where he could strike out on his own. Seeing the good that science could bring to the world, he broke with family tradition and joined the Azure League, buying a small skyland-jumper with money he had saved up over the years and heading to Islo. From there, he's learned to learn about the mysteries of the new world as a roving scientist, with a focus on mechanical matters and, recently, the geology of skylands and the seafloor.

Current Plane
Vic has gone through several planes in his travels, as he's gained prestige and (small) riches. No matter the plane's make or model, the name remains constant: Axelay. Currently, it adorns the nose of a Spectre; a beautiful plane that flies like a dream. Other planes may be faster, others may have more guns and armor, and still others may be more reliable, but the Axelay has an intangible air of quality about it. At least, that's what Vic thinks.
