Captain FlounderCaptain Flounder came from a mysterious island thousands of miles off the coast of NewZealand. She once followed her brother, the infamous Captain Yak, as his first mate in his vessel, the "HMS Cranky Man" sailing in the seven seas for many years. At age 14, Captain Flounder mastered her swordswomanship and took control of the HMS Cranky Man when she accidentally threw her brother overboard during a sword fight over a jug or grog. She has since renamed the vessel to The Black Dagger to carry on piracy and swashbuckling at sea in the name of the family. Captain Flounder loves to pick a fight with her seamen who seem lazy and out of shape. She almost always wins the sword fights with her favorite foil, nicknamed the Emerald, in tow. She now spends her time sailing the seven seas, looking for a worthy dueling opponent. The foil she nicknamed "The Emerald" is rumored to be guarded in the steely tangled hairs of a mermaid that Captain Flounder found sleeping at the bottom of the Black Sea. Captain DonalCaptain Donal was born in Ireland, but he was raised on the high seas. Donal earned hiskeep as a kazoo player on merchant ships until he was forced into service on a British Royal Navy vessel bound for the Spanish Main. As it happened, the captain of the ship wasn't cut out for leadership; one quick mutiny later, Donal was at the helm of a nicely outfitted sloop, ready to embark on his pirate career. As a pirate, Donal has gained a reputation for being a little bit crazy--among his more eccentric habits are that he sometimes falls to the ground as if dead (to confuse anyone who may be spying on him) and that he travels everywhere with a parrot that he keeps cleverly disguised as a small white dog. Captain ZebraNo one is certain how Captain Zebra wound up in Botswana domesticating the zebra (a feat that has never beenrepeated) but the truth lies somewhere between a trade dispute with some Mughals and a weaving competition in Botswana. The Captain, however, will only say that she swam there. The first time she encountered these strange horses, the Captain was impressed by their wild nature and tenacity. Painting herself in stripes and wearing her hair straight up on her head she gained their trust and soon commanded an army that no one was prepared to face. On one historic day, however, the British Navy did get the better of her when an anti-zebra repellent was designed. Left alone to face 200 soldiers, the Captain was taken prisoner and bound for England. As she sat at the bottom of a creaking vessel she thought all was lost until a pirate ship boarded and seized her prison. More than happy to join a pirate crew, she quickly rose in ranks and hopes that someday she will be reunited with her pack. Pages 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 |
