Mavros Pendragon

1. Definitely older than 18!
2. I'm in a D&D/Pathfinder/etc. gaming group and have been for over a decade now, we have roleplay sessions almost twice every week. I don't have the most experience in play by post specifically, though.
3. How about a moment from his backstory?
There was not a boy in the city who looked more out of place than Mavros did right now.
Before stepping out of the back of the transport into Mantle's night air, he squints, uncertainly, at the dirty rain-drenched pavement beneath, and the brown color of the resulting liquid. Living in a manor and the streets around it, you get used to simple things like... clean streets. He considers the possibility of scuffing his shoes, but, the decision is made for him as a piece of trash blows by, leaving a thin little brown stain, like a slice across the neatness.
"...Well. Definitely not in Atlas anymore, I guess."
Mavros hops down. The shoes are dirty anyway, might as well keep getting em dirty, he thinks, as he paces around to the front of the transport.
"Uh. Thanks for the ride."
The woman in the seat simply shrugs and extends her hand towards him. Mavros reaches past the folded blade at his hip to retrieve his wallet, wallet chain still attached, and rummage through it.
Hm. He realizes all of a sudden that he doesn't know how much you're supposed to bribe a transport driver. Or... how much it would cost to get most things. He pauses, staring at the handful pocket money he'd managed to save up for this whole stupid plan.
"...Uh. Here." he kinda just... slaps a handful down. The look on her face instantly tells him he paid WAY too much! Obviously! Stupid! Maybe he can just quietly sneak a little- and as the thought occurs her shiny white vessel is already raising out of arms reach, which, admittedly, isn't very high for him... leaving him in the cold rain.
He stares for a moment, now, definitively, past the point of no return. After a moment's contemplation, of everything that brought him here, and how insane it is that he's here at all... he sighs in irritation at himself, pulling up his hood to protect his hair.
"Fine. It's fine. I'm fine."
First he needed to find his nerves, then... literally any kind of directions.
"Now to figure out how the heck the trains work down here..."
