Captain Nobeard

You have sailed the seven seas for seven years as captain of the Blue
Snail. You rule your crew with a limp, iron hand -- you are unusually
effeminate for a pirate, which you over-compensate for by abruptly
becoming aggressive, gruff and confrontational when you feel your
authority is challenged. This does not prevent the cockier members of
your crew from cracking jokes about you when they think you are out of
earshot. You are by no means gunshy, and have been known to shoot past
the ear of some of your crew members to keep them in live.

Your journey to this island has been grueling. You are highly strung
and wish to sail homeward. You have worn the same pair of pantaloons
three days in a row and your favourite jacket is becoming discoloured.

You and Silvertongue, the ship's navigator and first mate, have agreed
to split the treasure 50/50. You have no qualms taking a larger share,
should the opportunity arise. Things have gone awry in the cave -- the
cook is dead and all bets are off.

* '''First mate Silvertongue''': You don't much care for the man, although
he is organised enough. You suspect that he shot the dear old cook,
which in your mind is unforgivable. Your relationship has been
cordial, but there is no love lost between the two of you -- you are
prepared to be as ruthless as you need to be.

* '''Tenzin, the parrot''': Funny little bird, such pretty feathers! An
excellent accessory for any pirating occasion!

* '''Biscuit, the cabin boy''': You have always wanted a son -- never
quite got round to it. Too busy doing manly pirate stuff. You are
therefore very fond of the boy, occasionally ruffling his hair how
you imagine fathers do. You let him get away with things you might
not let others get away with.

* '''Crusty, the cook (deceased)''': A friendly, hearty man -- probably
the closest you have to a friend on board. You are much aggrieved by
his death.
