"AND THEN, I JUMPED"
Pirates of the Cloud is a epic science fiction fantasy adventure set across an exotic galaxy of warring empires and follows the story of Bill Maynard as he is drawn out of 'retirement' and taken on a journey that will test the very soul of his character by forcing him to reconcile with his fractured past.
OLD BILL
WILLIAM MAYNARD
A worn and troubled soul. Bill may charm with his irreverent humour and flippant disposition, but deep down he is a broken man - His spirit suffocated by a nostalgia for what was and consumed by a bitter resentment for the people who put him there
Once a soldier of the Great Malo Empire, Bill was one day riven from his position of dignity and belonging ultimately leading him into exile on a dead end system – condemned to live out his remaining days in a state of impotence and submission. Superficially social and humorous, he rather desperately surrounds himself with friends and acquaintances to stave off the thought of dying alone in the cold of space.

it's about men and women, making imperfect choices,
playing them out, and tryin' to keep their bloody
heads on in the process!"
