Player Characters
Melvin Marcel
Played by: DrNoPuma
Species: Rat
Species: Rat
Art by DrNoPuma
The captain of the crew. Melvin is a big and chubby rat with a domino mask. Melvin was a former pirate, working as a ship carpenter for the captain Flamebeard, but was kicked off the ship after a bad incident with the captain. Melvin survived and went to live with his cousin Duane (played by Taco Badger), and the two eventually met some other individuals and formed their own crew...
- Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: An anthropomorphic rat who wears nothing but a domino mask.
- Alliterative Name: Melvin Marcel.
- And Then What?: Melvin admits that he has no idea what he'll do when they get all the pieces of the Legendary Egg, he just wants the "feeling of accomplishment."
- Big Fun: Melvin is very chubby, and also very easygoing.
- The Ditherer: He's not so used to being a captain, and often relies on others, mostly Duane, to help him make decisions.
- Expy: Combined with Composite Character and Adaptational Heroism, he is based on two different Redwall villains: Cap'n Tramun Clogg (fat, jolly, and mostly friendly pirate captains) and Slagar the Cruel (both wear decorative masks to cover scars left from an attack by another villain.) Ironically, although there are also plenty of rats in the Redwall series, Melvin is not based on any of them in particular.
- Gentle Giant: You'd think that a huge, bulky, bipedal pirate rat would be a threat, but Melvin is one of the least dangerous members of the crew. In fact, he's very welcoming, especially to those who want to join the crew.
- Malevolent Masked Man: Subverted. He wears a domino mask and used to be a pirate, but has never been very malicious at all.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red Oni to Duane's Blue Oni. Melvin is more immature and emotional than his cousin, and he ran off to become a pirate while Duane stayed in school.
- Rodents of Unusual Size: Played with. While Melvin is a rat bigger than most humans, it's actually the normal size for his family, and Duane (who is much smaller, though not as small as a real rat) is the abnormally sized one.
- Sickly Green Glow: Underneath his mask, Melvin's eyes and scar glow green because of the effects of the gemstone that Flamebeard attacked him with.
Ezekiel Riles
Played by: Black Mage Anolis
Species: Raccoon
Species: Raccoon
An old, proud privateer who stows aboard the ship; initially suspsicious of the crew, but he begins to take a shining to them as he spends time with them.
- Dark and Troubled Past: At a young age, Ezekiel ran away from his mother, something he clearly regrets as he traded his easy life with her for a horrific life on the sea. After twenty years away from her, he comes back only to find out she was killed by a plague that swept through the village.
- The Drag-Along: He only got on the ship to capture Melvin, but he ended up getting captured himself. He gets roped into the adventure when Melvin and Duane threaten to reveal his status as a privateer to the rest of the crew.
- Privateer: It hasn't been disclosed which nation he's contracted to, though.
- Rascally Raccoon: Played with. Despite being a privateer and all that, he's not above doing things like stealing pillows or drinks from his rich friends and lovers.
- Really Gets Around: Mentions a multitude of lovers when introducing himself. Not that he plans to get with anyone on the ship.
- Social Climber: He sees his stint as privateer as this, getting in good with the bourgeoisie with his exploits.
- Super-Speed: Implied. He replaces the first piece of the Egg with a pair of underpants with a motion "as fast as a swooping peregrine". Out-of-thread roleplaying shows this extends to his combat abilities as well, able to attempt multiple hits with his blade in the time it would take someone else to try for one.
- They Call Me MISTER Tibbs!: He insists the crew refer to him as "Ezekiel" despite some (mostly Duane) calling him "Zeke".
- Verbal Tic: Tends to accentuate his words as he speaks.
Gabrielle
Gabrielle as drawn by Custard And Pie
Played by: Custard And Pie
Species: Human (enhanced)
Species: Human (enhanced)
An amnesiac witch who joins the crew with hope that the Egg can help her figure out her past, as well as some adventure.
- Action Girl: A witch with psychic powers, and one of the several female members of a Badass Crew.
- Amnesiac Hero: Due to losing her memory 2 years prior to the beginning of the thread, she knows absolutely nothing about herself and her past other than her first name. Gabrielle hopes finding the Egg will help her regain her memory. She is also prone to Fake Memories, such as falsely remembering Captain Max.
- Body Horror: Her powers can make parts of her (her hands in particular)... do things.
- Cast from Hit Points: She needs sleep and food to regain her energy to use her powers.
- Deadpan Snarker: She certainly has her moments.
- Determinator:
- If she's got something she needs to do, she'll do it, even if she's used up most of her energy.
- The two things keeping her going? The Legendary Egg, and adventure.
- Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Doesn't particularly like it when her fellow crew members try to keep her from overexerting herself, insisting that she's fine.
- Older Than They Look: Although Parada initially mistakes her for a young teenager, she's actually in her mid twenties.
- Only One Name: Her last name is never given. Justified in that she is an amnesiac.
- Psychic Nosebleed: As a result of overexertion from using her powers. She also tends to bleed from her ears if she uses them for even longer.
- Red Is Heroic: Has strawberry blonde hair and wears a red hooded cloak.
Ira
Played by: Kablammin 45
Species: Shape-shifting dragon
A jolly and stout dragon hailing from a village of reptiles called Scale Cove, which he was formerly chief over until an incident caused him to be ousted from the position. He's a very strong dragon with the ability to shapeshift.Species: Shape-shifting dragon
- Big Fun: Overall a rather carefree and relaxed fellow for a fugitive from his village.
- Expy: Was heavily based on Maui from Moana in terms of design and abilities.
- Odd Name, Normal Nickname: His name is actually short for Irawaru.
- Stout Strength: Is a rather rotund dragon, but still very strong.

Victor
Victor as drawn by DrNoPuma
A lizardman who joins the crew after they obtain the first shard of the Legendary Egg. He is on the run from someone at the time.- Clear My Name: When he first joins the crew, he is on the run from the law after being wrongly accused of murdering a friend of his.
- Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: His dialogue is written in green text.
- Expy: Inspired by Yooka from Yooka-Laylee, although Victor is not a chameleon.
- Lizard Folk: He's a lizardman in a setting that has many anthropomorphic races.
- Lovable Lizard: Unlike the stereotype normally associated with reptiles, he is a sympathetic character.
- Nervous Wreck: He has a tendency to panic very easily, and occasionally stutters when talking as a result.
- Non-Action Guy: He has no real fighting abilities like many other crewmembers do, and as a result is unable to do much when the group gets into a battle. His attempt to help during the fight against the giant stone spider in Kiosion only results in him getting hurt. After this incident, he comes to realize that fighting is not the best way he can help the crew, and decides to take up cooking so he can be useful on the ship in another way.
- Real Life Writes the Plot: His decision to abandon the front lines and help out as the ship's cook instead was a result of his player deciding to go on hiatus.
Kauri
(Beast) Kauri as drawn by shrubBird

Species: Human
A young boy just trying to find his sister.Species: Human
- Animal-Themed Superbeing: Was recently "coerced" into ingesting Beast Blood, and is now trying to figure out what exactly he is now.
- The Baby of the Bunch: He's the youngest member of the crew at eleven years old. While he's not much younger than Parada, he's far less capable in a number of ways.
- Companion Cube: Made a friend out of one of the ship's cannons, which he has affectionately named "Mr. Splooshy," complete with engraving of said name on the barrel.
- Parental Abandonment: Both of his parents died when he was a baby, leaving him only with his big sister.
- Secret-Keeper: By complete accident, he discovered a little something about Parada…
- Shrinking Violet: Has had trouble in the past opening up to people aside from his sister, though he's trying his best to fix that.
Klamptrap
Played by: The Gamechanger
Species: Chest?
Species: Chest?
A sentient treasure chest.
- Chest Monster: A sentient treasure chest construct. He doesn't seem to like being called a "mimic", though.
- Deadpan Snarker: A good chunk of his dialogue is like this.
- Epic Flail: How he attacks with his left arm, given that it's a chain with a cannonball at the end.
- It Amused Me: Why he likes messing with people.
- Jerkass with a Heart of Gold: He may be a jerk, but he does have a compassionate side.
- More Teeth than the Osmond Family: His lid/mouth is fitted with rows of sharpened metal spikes, giving this impression.
- Red Eyes, Take Warning: Fitting for a living pirate chest with sharp teeth.
- Slasher Smile: More or less his default smile with teeth like those.
- Token Evil Teammate: He's not evil, but he is certainly the most unpleasant of the group due to his jerkish tenancies.
- Troll: Enjoys messing with people, and very frequently does so.
Bright Eyes
Played by: Nine Tailed Cat
Species: Feline
Species: Feline
A cat-person who joined the crew hoping for a big score.

- Lovable Rogue: An unashamed criminal, but a sociable one.
- Meaningful Name: Her eyes are extremely sharp, and she's quite alert in general.
- Rummage Sale Reject: Her outfit is cobbled together from stolen naval uniforms and a cloak that doesn't match the rest at all.
- Stepford Smiler: She keeps a smile on her face when things aren't going her way, but her furiously-lashing tail shows how she really feels.
- What the Hell Is That Accent?: Has a vague accent that involves clippin' off the ends of gerunds an' certain other words. Not even her player is sure what it's supposed to be.
Parada
Played by: Daydre
Species: Human(?)
Species: Human(?)
- He Who Must Not Be Heard: For whatever reason, Parada talks very quietly all the time.
- Magic Music: Parada once appeared to heal some of Gabrielle's wounds with a song.
- Super-Strength: While not totally ridiculous, Parada is much stronger than one would expect someone who looks about 13-14 to be.
Non-Player Characters
Cleo
Played by: Kablammin 45
Species: Psychic dragon
Species: Psychic dragon
The current chief over Scale Cove following Ira's exit. In contrast to Ira, she's far more serious and no nonsense. She also has psychic abilities and a daughter named Melody. She and a host of others are in pursuit of Ira in order to prevent him from using the Legendary Egg.
- Anti-Villain: Despite being an antagonist, Cleo doesn't seem to be outright evil; her motivations in trying to stop Ira seeming to be the safety and well-being of Scale Cove rather than a petty rivalry. She also cares deeply for her daughter Melody.
- Big Bad: Is this for Ira's story as she is fit and determined to prevent him from succeeding in his journey.
- Our Dragons Are Different: Cleo's species of dragon has very soft and rubbery skin rather than scales. They defend themselves with their incredible psychic abilities.
Captain Pollock
Played by: DrNoPuma
Species: Human, presumably
Species: Human, presumably
A famed adventurer who lived long ago. He originally found the Legendary Egg on one of his travels and used it for good. But when he got older, he grew afraid that it would fall into the wrong hands, so he went on one last voyage to scatter the pieces around the sea.
- The Ace: He is described as a very accomplished sailor, and he is also good at setting up puzzles and deathtraps.
- Named After Somebody Famous: Named after Mike Pollock, the voice of Eggman because he's associated with a different egg.
- Posthumous Character: He passed away long ago, but set up the puzzles to protect the Legendary Egg, starting the story.
Captain Flamebeard
Played by: DrNoPuma
Species: Human
Species: Human
A powerful pirate captain whose crew Melvin joined as a kid. Initially coming off as friendly, Flamebeard turned out to be horrible and abusive. Melvin provides most, if not all of the first information about him on page 53
.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Flamebeard acted kind to Melvin when he first met him in the tavern, but once Melvin joined the crew, Flamebeard showed his true, cruel colors.
- Captain Colorbeard: Although he's much less friendly than the trope name would imply.
- Evil Sounds Deep: He had a very deep voice, according to Melvin.
- Expy: Word of God is that he's based on Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM)'s interpretation of the villainous Dr. Robotnik. Like that show's Robotnik, Flamebeard is an imposing man with a metal arm, he's described as having a deep, growly voice (like so), and he's a callous monster.
- The Ghost: He has not appeared in person yet, we only hear about him from Melvin's exposition. Melvin isn't even sure if he's currently still alive.
- Greater-Scope Villain: For Melvin. While there's no real Big Bad threatening him now, Flamebeard's abuse of Melvin was mostly the cause of his more negative aspects, and even now, Melvin is still scared of him.
- Red Right Hand: He's pure evil, and he has a prosthetic metal arm.
- The Sociopath: He fits this pretty well. He acts just charming enough to convince Melvin to join his crew, then loses interest in him, then outright turns on him when he thinks Melvin is trying to steal from him, and attacks him.
Felix Ferguson
Played by: Kablammin 45
Species: Goblin
Species: Goblin
Met as an elderly man in Aetate, Felix was the cabin boy on Pollack's ship and was entrusted with one of the Egg Shard pieces until he left it in the Seafaring Bank for safekeeping. He has retired to the isolated and run-down town of Aetate and now serves as the light-house keeper.
- Cool Sword: "Old Silver", a sword that he passes on to Kauri.
- Refusal of the Call: He's invited to go with the party to the bank, but turns the call down, wanting to spend as much time with his friends in Aetate as possible as it's somewhat implied that he is dying.
- Unfazed Everyman: He's only momentarily taken aback by the bizarre crew that comes to visit but nevertheless lets them in anyway.
Walter
Played by: shrubBird
Species: Human
Species: Human
An old man working as a bartender on Kiosion Island.
- The Bartender: Knows his regulars well enough to throw bottles of liquor at them.
- Cool Old Guy: When he finds out how he unintentionally causes a big problem for the crew, he is quick to apologize and goes to make amends ASAP.
- Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Some time ago, he decided to explore the island a bit. On his little expedition, he came across a neat sword and decided to take it home with him. Little did he know that a motley crew of pirates needed it to fight a giant rock spider.
