History Podcast / CampaignSkyJacks

* NoPronunciationGuide: A meta-example; the podcast crew didn't discover until after recording that Burza Nyth should be more accurately pronounced "Bouja Neeth", rather than how an English speaker would naturally say it.

* PromotedToPlayable: [[Orimar Vale, as of episode 114, has regained enough of his autonomy to act without aid. As such, he's now upgraded from NPC to PC and is played by new cast member Nathan Blades.]]

* MarkOfTheSupernatural: Some unlucky airiners who spend too much time on or near the water or otherwise draw the Mariner's interest manifest his mark. Though at first it can only be seen by those who can peer into the magical veil, such as [[spoiler:Gable or Jonnit]], it eventually manifests visibly as an inky black spot on the afflicted's hand.

* ArcVillain: For the Wolfstooth arc, [[spoiler:Franz Fishhook]]. For the Burza Nyth arc, [[spoiler:Tiberius Youngblood]].

'''''Campaign: Sky Jacks''''' is the second story from the Campaign Podcast, a spin-off of the Podcast/OneShotPodcast. Unlike its [[Podcast/OneShotPodcast predecessor]], ''Sky Jacks'' takes place in an original SkyPirate setting inspired by the music of Music/TheDecemberists and the card game Illimat, elements of which are incorporated into the [[https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/products/genesys/ Genesys]] roleplaying system the players use.

! The first episode of the podcast contains a major FirstEpisodeSpoiler that is key to the main plot. All spoilers for this are unmarked. Administrivia/YouHaveBeenWarned!

* OfCorpseHesAlive: The FirstEpisodeSpoiler and central conceit: Our four heroes are the only ones who know that Orimar Vale died on the island, and are covering it up to preserve their relatively privileged place on the crew of the Uhuru.

** The "Shankhill AU" episode only available through Patreon clarifies that [[spoiler:Travis's immortality and shapeshifting is a curse put upon him by the Forest Queen, whose thrall he is under.]]

* OurAngelsAreDifferent: [[spoiler:Angels are servants of [[GodIsEvil the Sovereign]], incorporeal, many-eyed beings that punish the wicked. Gable is a [[FallenAngel fallen one]], who lost their wings -- and gained corporeal form -- on the day the stars fell.]]

* MeaningfulName: Travis's real name, [[spoiler:William]], is shared with [[spoiler:the Changeling from ''[[Music/TheDecemberists The Hazards of Love]]''.

Long ago, mariners sailed the seas of the world of Speir -- but since the seas turned deadly and the seasons went feral, those days are long gone. Now, instead, the skies are braved by Sky Jacks, crossing the world in airships with featherweave sails. Among these ships is the ''Uhuru'', captained by the notorious and charismatic pirate Orimar Vale -- but Vale has a secret, which only a few of his crew are aware of...

* BewareTheNiceOnes: Tiberius Youngblood is [[AffablyEvil affable]], friendly, and is happy to joke and gamble with the Uhuru crew -- [[spoiler:but he's [[ObfuscatingStupidity fully aware that the crew are pirates]], and when Travis tries to steal his watch, he privately threatens to cut his hand off and notes that he's taken in seventeen corsair ships.]]

* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Seemingly, angels are warriors serving the Church of the Slain God. [[spoiler:Gable is a [[FallenAngel fallen one]] who had their wings cut off.]]

* AmbiguousGender: Gable tends to go with whatever gender people choose to refer to them as. [[spoiler:After all, as a fallen angel, they likely predate the entire concept of gender.]]

* SuperstitiousSailors

* CharacterDeath: [[spoiler:Dref is killed by [[CainAndAbel his brother Tiberius Youngblood in Episode 26.]]

'''''Campaign: Sky Jacks''''' is the second story from the Campaign Podcast, a spin-off of the Podcast/OneShotPodcast.

** Tryst Valentine, JPC's ''Star Wars'' character, was a BookDumb HandsomeLech and ChivalrousPervert who had [[BadassNormal no special powers]] beyond charisma and skill as a pilot, and considered himself TheLeader of the ''Mynock'' crew. Dref is a creepy, highly-strung [[MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate morally ambiguous doctor]] and illicit necromancer who lacks ''any'' social skills or leadership ability.

** Agent Zero, Tyler's ''Evil Campaign'' character, was a cool-headed and experienced mercenary with [[BadassNormal no supernatural powers]] who was happy to coast along as the subordinate to Agent Blue. Jonnit is a HotBlooded teenager with magical talent who has aspirations of being the captain of his own Sky Jack ship. However, they both wear concealing clothing on their heads for fear of stigma.

* CursedWithAwesome: When Dref's attempt at healing Wendell Barge's hand gives him an entire necromantically-animated arm, everyone is ''very'' afraid of the consequences thanks to stigma against necromancy. Fortunately, Wendell notes his increased strength and complete lack of pain and cheerfully accepts it without asking questions.
