== Background / Personal history ==
Demyan was born in a family of a shipwright worker in a large village of Primorskoye on the west coast of a faraway land of Tridevyatoe Tsardom. Thus his future occupation was decided for him long before he was even born. He was supposed to be a shipwright worker. But Demyan wanted more than that. If someone had to choose his life, that must be him and him alone. So Demyan used to spend most of his free time either reading or hanging around foreign trade vessels entering the docks. The ships always captivated him. The complexity of engineering behind them. The beauty of mechanical solutions and their lines. The freedom they grant. Probably this is why he decided that he must become a sailor. And one day he was able to fulfill that dream. Partly because of his mechanical skill, partly due to his determination and confidence, but he was able to convince a captain of one of the merchant airships to allow him on board and join his crew as an engineer apprentice.
He spent some time working with them, hauling cargo between Tridevyatoye Tsardom, Albion and Guaso. During that period he had a chance to brush up his knowledge of common language and naval engineering skills. But all good things come to an end. During a storm he fell off his airship and got stranded in the woods of Guaso. After a week of wandering, he managed to get to the city of Niquamui. Having no money to pay for a ticket on a ship to his homeland and nothing else but his uniform, sailor cap with the name of his former airship and a bag of tools, he stands in front of what he can tell is a Firebreathing Kittens guild hall. Probably they need something fixed...
== Things I would like to explore in future episodes: ==
* Demyan loves to craft some weird stuff of questionable usefulness. He has a little notepad where he writes all of his weird ideas as a sort of 'to do' list and a journal for his engineering experiments. Somewhere between the entries for 'rocket boots' and 'shovel bazooka' he has written down between the lines 'MIX SCIENCE AND MAGIC???'. Probably he will venture down that path should he find someone proficient enough with magic and as curious as Demyan himself. 
* Demyan likes living in Niqamui. Probably much more than he liked it back in Tridevyatoye Tsardom. He loves working for Firebreathing Kittens. Despite that, he still craves that love for airships, he misses that feeling of wind in his face, the swaying deck under his feet and the whole sky open to himself. Probably one day he will save up enough money to get an airship of his own, hire a crew and return to his home village. Not for long, just a small visit, after which he would definately sail back to Niqamui. Probably with the cargo hold full of Tridevyatoye's goods for selling.
