Background:
Ron Denmark was a bastard child of a roaming barbarian tribe. His father was a tough and rough man from the far south. His mother was an attractive and young widower, who lost her husband in a set of pirate wars, not much is known of this man.
Needless to say, Ron's father didn't sick around long, and was off of the small and now poor artic northern island, and on his way home to the south. Ron's mother, Crystal, as her name was, delivered the young boy, some months later. 5 years after his birth, his mother took ill and died. He was quite upset.
Following this event, Ron was taken in by a kind and wise elder, who would latter become his role model before his messy an untimely death. 6 years after studying, and working hard, and learning with the elder man, Tojo, as he was known as, A small group of pirates from the old man's past came to kill the old man, and succeeded.
They left Ron alone, not wanting to spill more blood. Unknowing to them, he used gun powder, a bit of wood, and a wick, to blow up there boat on there way out. The villagers now associated the poor 11 year old child with disaster, and exiled him, nearly a year latter.
Ron, was put on a ship, and shipped out to one of the main islands in the world. Once there, he found quite deadly work in a crime filled city. The risk was high, the pay good, and he had plenty of time to study weapons, war, weapon smithing, mathematics, metal working and so on. When he was 16 he was promoted to sergeant of a pirate fighting/ exploration crew.
He shipped out and had been fighting pirates for 2 years when his ship was sunk. He lost all his possessions, except his trusty musket, and nearly his life. To his luck, a an odd group of gnome engineers with a steam powered boat, came and rescued him. Ron studied with them, and they realized he had amazing potential, and they showed him their plans for a hot air balloon. He was amazed at the thought of flight, and worked out hundreds of possibilities in his mind, and final set his mind on his goal, and airplane.
The gnomes died as well though, due to a freak explosion in the rig of their boat, probably caused by gun powder explosion. This was in a dock of a major city however, and Ron happened to be out of the boat. Poor Ron, once again he lost friend and mentor. He knew he would strive on and make his dream complete. So now a days his is gathering materials and inventing.
