Character History
To be added.

Skyrates 2.3
Sunrunner came to Skytopia as a JIG Newbie some time after Skyrates 2.3 went live. On the advice of his friend Rash McAllister, Sunrunner joined the Green Faction, specifically seeking out President Kenisu Ichojari.

The Ichojari administration ended shortly after Sunrunner first arrived, and he gamely entered into the tutelage of Benefactor instead. Disliking infighting but liking the ethos of the Green Faction, Sunrunner quickly became one of the faction's most loyal pilots, if not the most vocal. A combat pilot out of flight school, Sunrunner eventually turned to trade, where despite his late arrival he established himself as one of Skytopia's elite traders. He prided himself on flying fixed-wing craft on efficient routes, and by the end of Skyrates 2.3 he was number two on the all-time trade profit list with a net profit of Ģ674,508,386. When Skyrates 2.3 ended, he claimed that he would have overtaken Stone Cold as the all-time leader in just ten more days, but that claim is debated to this day. In addition to competing for the all-time trade title, Sunrunner was Skyrates 2.3's all-time leader in return on investment, earning over Ģ90 for every Ģ1 he spent on goods over the course of the round.

Skyrates 2.4
Almost from his first days in Skytopia, Sunrunner had claimed that he yearned for a new beginning and a chance to compete with the best pilots on an even footing. When that opportunity finally came, he did not waste it. Although still quiet in political matters, Sunrunner was the first Skyrate to reach Eltsina and officially join the Jade Hand, and he once again set out to earn his fortune through trade. As the game started up Sunrunner established himself once again as the number two trader in Skytopia, although a distant second to the wily Edmund C. Fex. Fex eventually stopped flying, and Sunrunner took his place as the all-time profit leader, a position he held continuously except for a brief period when Stone Cold overtook him before also retiring from trade. When 2.4 ended, Sunrunner was the all-time profit leader by a margin of close to 50%.

Skyrates 2.4 featured Sunrunner's first venture into politics, an abortive run for President of the Green Republic, which he called off when he found that there were others interested in the position. He did, however, found a wing: the Dawn Patrol, based on Eltsina, which he remained the Captain of throughout the round.
