History WMG / RomanticallyApocalyptic

* Except captain is in the room with them to the right of the table and already dressed in his/her trenchcoat and mask. The female scientist is raising her hand to -protect- herself from the cake being thrown, not throwing the cake herself.

Alexius' extensive use of background details of pages as [[Foreshadowing]] is well known, and therefore this sets a strong case for the true identity of Zee Captain having been already revealed.

[[WMG: Zee Captain is [[EarthBound Giygas]].]]

[[WMG: Zee Captain is [[TheElderScrolls Sheogorath]].]]

** [[spoiler: {{Jossed}}: Captain doesn't exist, and is actually part of Snippy's split personality. No, this isn't a WMG.]]

* [[spoiler: {{Jossed}}, see Joss for "The Captain is a female"]]

* [[spoiler: {{Also {{Jossed}}, see joss for "The Captain is a female"]]

* [[Spoiler: {{Jossed}}... Well sort of. See joss for "The Captain is a female"]]

[[WMG: Zee Captain is [[Earthbound Giygas]].]]
Maybe we are unable grasp the true form of Captain's face, but if [[Spoiler: an angry stare made an alien's head explode,]] then it must be a sight beings are not meant to behold.

[[WMG: Zee Captain is [[TheElderScrolls Sheogorath.]]

* On a smiliar note: The Captain is the billboard girl from the first page, or the girl from Snipey's past (which would explain why they're close). Or both.

Although the authorship of ''The Ugly Barnacle'' is generally attributed to [[WesternAnimation/SpongeBobSquarePants Mr. Patrick Star]], its origin is shrouded in mystery. It's possible that someone else (most likely the Captain) wrote it as a document of how the apocalypse occurred. If so, then the eponymous protagonist is probably ANNET, who is portrayed as a barnacle for the sake of symbolism.

The ''real'' reason Snippy follows him/her around is to make sure s/he doesn't mess things up further (after all, the fact that there are still living creatures -- even if most of them are freaky mutant things -- implies that there may still be some hope for the world). This seems to be confirmed by a comic revealing that "he spilled tea on the server banks", and Engineer's outburst at Captain, proclaiming, "This is all your fault"! This is also mentioned on Snippy's {{tumblr}}, when a fan asks who he blames for the apocalypse. Then there's the fact that in an early comic, Captain is finishing a "conversation" with a skeleton with, "...and that's how I caused World War 3." More specifically, [[spoiler:Captain's tea destroyed several server banks, and, feeling threatened, ANNET killed everyone in the facility and took over everyone who was connected to the neural network. In order to shut her down, Engineer had to nuke the place]].

{{Word of God}} says that one of the characters is female and so far, all the evidence seems to point to the Captain. S/he's referred to as a "little girl" on more than one occasion and the jumpsuit-thingy girl the comic's creator draws might be the same as the girl on the operating table featured in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5geL0EwZK18 the Captain's song]]. This is either confirmed, or [[TeasingCreator the author is messing with us]], since many of the pics of the Captain that the creator has posted to DeviantArt are in the "females" category: [[http://alexiuss.deviantart.com/art/DESIRE-280384671]].

All the pics of the Captain that the creator has posted to DeviantArt lately have been in the "females" category: [[http://alexiuss.deviantart.com/art/DESIRE-280384671]].

While there is evidence to suggest that the Captain is a female, there perhaps s/he is both male and female at the same time: The "Que Sera" video states that his/her DNA and Chromosomes were altered when he/she was little. Thus, if the girl/woman in that video is indeed the Captain, then perhaps s/he started life as a female, but took on male characteristics due to this tampering, such as a deeper, male-like voice, superior strength and endurance, etc. Therefore, s/he is both male and female at the same time. Also, the Captain is found to be horridly radioactive. There's no way that his/her biology isn't affected in one way or another. Furthermore, [[http://alexiuss.deviantart.com/art/Captain-by-Rizude-Chan-276088176 this]] image, submitted by a fan for a contest, was posted to the [[{{WordOfGod}} author]] of ''Romantically Apocalyptic'''s DeviantArt account, categorized as "Customization/Wallpaper/People/Males." However, as of this posting, the author has changed the category to "Customization/Wallpaper/People/Females." Either this is evidence for this WMG, or the author is messing with us by changing the gender every so often ([[TakeAThirdOption or both]]). To top it all off, the Captain is modelled by both men and women.
