=====Skills Breakdown=====
Mountaineering-70 years
	Much like mountain men.  Camping, woodman skills, hunting, tracking, archery, skinning, fur trade, and other survivalist skills.   This part of his life would have been the early period that he was cautiously exploring shadows outside of chaos, fearing the call of the Laboratory sorcerers.  This would be a lot of hiding, hunting, and living by himself.   Perhaps some Indians and fur traders and other mountain-men activities appropriate to the realms near chaos.  These interactions might be his first toward gaining socialization. 
	This period would be the largest block of about 40 initial years.  
Cooking 
	10 years as a chef's assistant-See Dark is the Rat.
	15 years in Bar Foods and BBQ
	25 years involved in large scale food production for a working circus.
	15 years in Sporting Life
	70 years in Mountaineering
	

Circus Time-25 years
	Gymnastics, tumbling, high wire and associated Circus activities-15 years
	Stage Magician-5 years. Slight of hand, misdirection, stage magic, coin work, card magic.
	Ring Master-Circus management. 10 years.  This time would be one of the first he found in the Black Zone after tempting toward freedom after years in the mountains.  It would have been satisfyingly social and good learning.  It would be reasonably colorful and chaotic.  It would give him a chance to learn management skills.  

Musician-25 years as a primary.  Also during Circus,Wharf Life, and Mountaineering Life for another 120 years of practice. 
	Jazz like musician-15 years in small bits of 2 or 3 years at a time in between other things.  	Primarily the Piano like devices and the saxophone like devices but proficient in many others.  	Also love guitar and harp. 
	
Music being part of a solitary life in the mountains he would have learned flute and handcrafted  instruments. Perhaps drums from Indians.  Has spent time traveling in the form of a  traveling musician.  Bard. Minstrel, itinerant musician.  This is as much to learn social skills as to perform.  

In a urban shadow of unknown name he found a dark and smoky city like New Orleans in a early jazz age.  In a waterside bar he found heavy smoke and heavy drink and heavy jazz piano of a forgotten master.  The sound intoxicated him as much as the smoke and drink.   He spent a couple years in the area learning piano from this great and surpassed him. 
Chaos Burlesque band.  a 10 year span as a band leader in a wildly popular club near chaos. 
(Story-Red Flashy Lights)

Sports Life-15 years
*Triathlon like events that mix activities.  Running, cycling and paragliding, sailing, swimming.
*Competitive swimming.  Marathon style running event. 
*Boxing and hand to hand competitions. 
*Enjoys playing team sports not at a professional level.  Baseball, football, soccer, rugby.
*In the sporting world he gained a love of motor racing.  Motorcycles, cars, planes.  Eventually he found racing on Randal. 

Wharf Life-25 years to the present
*Sailor- Nautical skills, knots, woodworking-10 years on Bajas.  Dock working-Longshoreman.
*Bartender/manager “Red Cat Tavern” -15 years on Bajas after the time at sea.  
*Brewer/vintner/distiller 15 years as a bar activity.

	The world of Bajas became something of a refuge.  His other lives were predominantly solitary, even when around others. For some reason the time on Bajas was different for him.  He became close to those on the ships.  In time he started working on the docks and enjoyed the simple lifestyle of the longshoreman.  When the tavern all the men went to before going home fell on hard times Vek bought it from the original owner and renamed it the Red Cat Tavern.  Chasa became its manager and bartender.
