Navigator O.C.C. by Stone Gargoyle

As distinguished from the Sky Sailor, the Navigator is a character who is trained primarily in the navigation and steering of an airship. Often, Navigators will serve as command officers aboard airships or actually be the owners or builders of the very airships they fly upon. In any case, they will have an interest in all workings of the airship. In most places, Navigators start off as scholars who are educated in maps and ship design.
