Quick Biography: Five years ago, Amber woke up in a military hospital bed with no memory and a vehement convinction that he wasn't who they told him he was. And yet, having no money, no home, and no name, he ultimately accepted the role of the daredevil hero. Not knowing who he was made it easy enough for him to pretend to be someone else. He stuck around for about three years, going through vigorous (re)training in the Air Force flight school, and learning about the man he was supposed to be.

And the more he learned, the more he grew convinced that this was a case of invented identity. Oh, no, not mistaken. The numerous, nameless officers, instructors, interviewers, and special psychologists he was sent to were a little TOO sure of who he was. So although he played along for the free food and bed, he's never let go of the certainty that they were using him, are using him still. Every now and then some journalist or writer will manage to track him down and interview him about "his" past and heroic service. He's learned his alter ego's history, and has enough imagination to fill in the rest. He gives them what they want: stories of gore and valor. And the country has their hero. He doesn't necessarily like playing the PR angle for the military, but he was given no choice in the matter initially, and doesn't feel he can object with no alternative to give them.

After three years, he left the Air Force -- in a manner fitting of the person they taught him to be. He stole a sweet little mint-condition biplane and flew it off into the sunset. Having been thoroughly indoctrinated with a stranger's identity, he was given a clean bill of mental health, a medal for meritorious service (which he swears he didn't do), and a small pension -- which continues to grow monthly and remains accessible to him despite the style of his departure. It's worth noting that while every now and then someone with the appearance of a government agent will make a show of "trying" to get a hold of him, they never come anywhere NEAR succeeding. The government-provided cash is just enough for him to depend on for a hot meal when he really needs one, but it's no salary, and when he needs money, he flies for it. It's all he knows how to do. He'll find himself a temporary business partner to collect tips and do flight tricks over some redneck town with no cinema, or he'll pay some farmer to use his field as a landing strip and charge the locals for rides.

Appearance: He is of average height and slim build. His hair and eyes are dark. He has a very "lady's man" face -- handsome, strong features and intense eyes. He tends to dress as a pilot might be expected to, with loose pants, high boots, a leather jacket with a furry collar, and he even sometimes wears around that hat with the ear flaps and goggles. The "real" Amber would be 32, and he looks about that.

Personality: For someone who can't remember anything prior to the last five years of his life, and who claims to be part of a government conspiracy to cover up whatever happened to the REAL Ambrose Dunharrow, Amber is surprisingly laid-back and accepting of pretty much anything that comes his way. Despite his conspiracy theory conviction, he is otherwise perfectly sane and stable. He can be a sweet-talker, but is slow to commit himself to anything -- from relationships to promising to take the trash out later. He is insistant that he is neither brave nor heroic, which may be a kind of humility but to him is just God's honest truth. He's a quiet person, distrustful but not fearful. He expects you to lie to him, and he's okay with that. He rolls with the punches, and takes life with a pinch of salt and an extra serving when he can get it. But overall he is determined. No one and nothing comes before the sky to him -- because the sky is his path to finding out what happened to the real Ambrose, and who he used to be before his wings.

Amber's world: Amber is from an AU Earth, the defining characteristic of which is that the USA lost the Revolutionary War, and Amber belongs to the Royal Air Force of Columbia (there are still 50 states, and the area as a whole is sometimes called the United States of Columbia or the USC; and the Presidents are instead Prime Ministers). The country of Columbia in our world is still called New Granada there. Due to complicated circumstances (read, "because I said so"), Canada is also renamed Arcadia (sometimes the United Provinces of Arcada, or the UPA). Its government and place-names otherwise remain functionally identical to today's, the difference being that because the whole of North America was now part of one single country, officials elected to split it more or less in half and let the two halves conduct their business in whatever way they should see fit, under the ultimate rule of the British government.

Also, the progress of technology in Amber's world is somewhat different, and somewhat... a mixed bag of tricks. On the whole, his world resembles our own world in the 1940's, with random injections of more modern technology and culture. The Internet exists in his world. Color TV does not. Frozen dinners exist. Microwaves do not. Clothing style mainly conforms to the 40's, though teenagers in his world are known to sport looks from the 70's and various modern subcultures (metalheads exist; weaboos do not). Medicine is up to par and even marginally MORE advanced than our own.
