19
20	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 Tropers/TacoBadger), and the two eventually met some other individuals and formed their own crew...
21	----
22	* AccessoryWearingCartoonAnimal: An anthropomorphic rat who wears nothing but a domino mask.
23	* AlliterativeName: '''M'''elvin '''M'''arcel.
24	* AndThenWhat: 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."
25	* BigFun: Melvin is very chubby, and also very easygoing.
26	* TheDitherer: He's not so used to being a captain, and often relies on others, mostly Duane, to help him make decisions.
27	* {{Expy}}: Combined with CompositeCharacter and AdaptationalHeroism, he is based on two different ''Literature/{{Redwall}}'' villains: Cap'n Tramun Clogg (fat, jolly, and mostly friendly pirate captains) and Slagar the Cruel (both wear decorative masks to cover [[spoiler: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.
28	* GentleGiant: 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.
29	* MalevolentMaskedMan: Subverted. He wears a domino mask and used to be a pirate, but has never been very malicious at all.
30	* RedOniBlueOni: 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.
31	* RodentsOfUnusualSize: 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.
32	* SicklyGreenGlow: Underneath his mask, Melvin's eyes [[spoiler:and scar]] glow green [[spoiler:because of the effects of the gemstone that Flamebeard attacked him with.]]

34
35	[[folder:Ezekiel Riles]]
36	->'''Played by:''' Tropers/BlackMageAnolis\
37	'''Species:''' Raccoon
38
39	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.
40	----
41	* DarkAndTroubledPast: At a young age, [[TheRunaway Ezekiel ran away from his mother]], [[MyGreatestFailure 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, [[NeverGotToSayGoodbye he comes back only to find out she was killed by a plague that swept through the village.]]
42	* TheDragAlong: 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.
43	* {{Privateer}}: It hasn't been disclosed which nation he's contracted to, though.
44	* RascallyRaccoon: 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.
45	* ReallyGetsAround: Mentions a multitude of lovers when introducing himself. Not that he plans to get with anyone on the ship.
46	* SocialClimber: He sees his stint as privateer as this, getting in good with the bourgeoisie with his exploits.
47	* SuperSpeed: 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.
48	* TheyCallMeMisterTibbs: He insists the crew refer to him as "Ezekiel" despite some (mostly Duane) calling him "Zeke".
49	* VerbalTic: Tends to ''accentuate'' his ''words'' as he ''speaks''.

54	[[quoteright:213:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gabrielleprofile.png]]
55	[[caption-width-right:213:Gabrielle as drawn by Tropers/CustardAndPie]]
56	->'''Played by:''' Tropers/CustardAndPie\
57	'''Species:''' Human (enhanced)
58
59	An amnesiac witch who joins the crew with hope that the Egg can help her figure out her past, as well as some adventure.
60	----
61	* ActionGirl: A witch with psychic powers, and one of the several female members of a BadassCrew.
62	* AmnesiacHero: 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 FakeMemories, such as falsely remembering Captain Max.
63	* BodyHorror: Her powers can make parts of her (her hands in particular)... ''do'' things.
64	* CastFromHitPoints: She needs sleep and [[CastFromCalories food]] to regain her energy to use her powers.
65	* DeadpanSnarker: She certainly has her moments.
66	-->'''Gabrielle''': ''[upon seeing the Zenpance]'' [[Film/ANewHope ...You came in]] ''[[Film/ANewHope that]]'' [[Film/ANewHope thing? You're braver than I thought.]]
67	* {{Determinator}}:
68	** If she's got something she needs to do, she'll do it, [[CastFromCalories even if she's used up most of her energy.]]
69	** The two things keeping her going? The Legendary Egg, and adventure.
70	* DontYouDarePityMe: Doesn't particularly like it when her fellow crew members try to keep her from overexerting herself, [[MajorInjuryUnderreaction insisting that she's fine.]]
71	* OlderThanTheyLook: Although Parada initially mistakes her for a young teenager, she's actually in her mid twenties.
72	* OnlyOneName: Her last name is never given. {{Justified}} in that she is an amnesiac.
73	* PsychicNosebleed: As a result of overexertion from using her powers. She also tends to bleed from her ears if she uses them for even longer.
74	* RedIsHeroic: Has strawberry blonde hair and wears a red hooded cloak.
75	[[/folder]]
76
77	[[folder:Ira]]
78	->'''Played by:''' Tropers/Kablammin45\
79	'''Species:''' Shape-shifting dragon
80	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.
81	----
82	* BigFun: Overall a rather carefree and relaxed fellow for a fugitive from his village.
83	* {{Expy}}: Was heavily based on Maui from ''WesternAnimation/{{Moana}}'' in terms of design and abilities.
84	* OddNameNormalNickname: His name is actually short for Irawaru.
85	* StoutStrength: Is a rather rotund dragon, but still very strong.
86	* SuperStrength: Has this in his base form.
87	* TertiarySexualCharacteristics: Gender-inverted; Ira has visible eyelashes although he's a male dragon.
88	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Has this ability, though he typically only uses it when he has to disguise himself.

91	[[folder:Victor]]
92	[[quoteright:226:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/waapr_victor_by_drnopuma_full.png]]

94	->''Played by:'' Tropers/{{Bluethorn}}\
95	''Debut:'' [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15459605320A39832500&page=40#comment-983 Page 40]]\
96	''Species:'' Lizard
97	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.
98	----
99	* ClearMyName: When he first joins the crew, he is on the run from the law after being wrongly accused of murdering a friend of his.
100	* ColourCodedForYourConvenience: His dialogue is written in green text.
101	* {{Expy}}: Inspired by Yooka from ''VideoGame/YookaLaylee'', although Victor is not a chameleon.
102	* LizardFolk: He's a lizardman in a setting that has many anthropomorphic races.
103	* LovableLizard: Unlike the [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent stereotype normally associated with reptiles]], he is a sympathetic character.
104	* NervousWreck: He has a tendency to panic very easily, and occasionally stutters when talking as a result.
105	* NonActionGuy: 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.
106	* RealLifeWritesThePlot: 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.

109	[[folder:Kauri]]
110	[[quoteright:213:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ithim_0.png]]

112	->'''Played by:''' @/{{shrubBird}}\
113	'''Species:''' Human
114	A young boy just trying to find his sister.
115	----
116	* AnimalThemedSuperbeing: Was recently "coerced" into ingesting Beast Blood, and is now trying to figure out what exactly he is now.
117	* TheBabyOfTheBunch: 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.
118	* CompanionCube: 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.
119	* ParentalAbandonment: Both of his parents died when he was a baby, leaving him only with his [[PromotionToParent big sister.]]
120	* SecretKeeper: By complete accident, he discovered a little something about Parada…
121	* ShrinkingViolet: Has had trouble in the past opening up to people aside from his sister, though he's trying his best to fix that.
122	%%* ShyFingerTwiddling

125	[[folder:Klamptrap]]
126	->'''Played by:''' Tropers/TheGamechanger\
127	'''Species:''' Chest?
128
129	A sentient treasure chest.
130	----
131	* ChestMonster: A sentient treasure chest construct. He doesn't seem to like being called a "mimic", though.
132	* DeadpanSnarker: A good chunk of his dialogue is like this.
133	* EpicFlail: How he attacks with his left arm, given that it's a chain with a cannonball at the end.
134	* ItAmusedMe: Why he likes messing with people.
135	* JerkassWithAHeartOfGold: He may be a jerk, but he does have a compassionate side.
136	* MoreTeethThanTheOsmondFamily: His lid/mouth is fitted with rows of sharpened metal spikes, giving this impression.
137	* RedEyesTakeWarning: Fitting for a living pirate chest with sharp teeth.
138	* SlasherSmile: More or less his default smile with teeth like those.
139	* TokenEvilTeammate: He's not evil, but he is certainly the most unpleasant of the group due to his jerkish tenancies.
140	* {{Troll}}: Enjoys messing with people, and very frequently does so.

156	A cat-person who joined the crew hoping for a big score.
157	----
158	* ActionGirl: She's a capable fighter with her sword and pistol.
159	* LovableRogue: An unashamed criminal, but a sociable one.
160	* MeaningfulName: Her eyes are extremely sharp, and she's quite alert in general.
161	* RummageSaleReject: Her outfit is cobbled together from stolen naval uniforms and a cloak that doesn't match the rest at all.
162	* StepfordSmiler: She keeps a smile on her face when things aren't going her way, but her furiously-lashing tail shows how she really feels.
163	* WhatTheHellIsThatAccent: 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.

170	----
171	* HeWhoMustNotBeHeard: For whatever reason, Parada talks very quietly all the time.
172	* MagicMusic: Parada once appeared to heal some of Gabrielle's wounds with a song.
173	* SuperStrength: While not totally ridiculous, Parada is much stronger than one would expect someone who looks about 13-14 to be.

178	[[folder:Cleo]]
179	->'''Played by:''' Tropers/Kablammin45\
180	'''Species:''' Psychic dragon
181
182	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.
183	----
184	* AntiVillain: 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.
185	* BigBad: Is this for Ira's story as she is fit and determined to prevent him from succeeding in his journey.
186	* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Cleo's species of dragon has very soft and rubbery skin rather than scales. They defend themselves with their incredible psychic abilities.

188
189	[[folder:Captain Pollock]]
190	->'''Played by:''' Tropers/DrNoPuma\
191	'''Species:''' Human, presumably
192
193	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.
194	----
195	* TheAce: He is described as a very accomplished sailor, and he is also good at setting up puzzles and deathtraps.
196	* NamedAfterSomebodyFamous: Named after Creator/MikePollock, the voice of [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Eggman]] because he's associated with a different egg.
197	* PosthumousCharacter: He passed away long ago, but set up the puzzles to protect the Legendary Egg, starting the story.
198	[[/folder]]
199
200	[[folder:Captain Flamebeard]]
201	->'''Played by:''' Tropers/DrNoPuma\
202	'''Species:''' Human
203
204	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 [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=15459605320A39832500&page=53#comment-1306 page 53]].
205	----
206	* BitchInSheepsClothing: 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.
207	* CaptainColorbeard: Although he's ''much'' less friendly than the trope name would imply.
208	* EvilSoundsDeep: He had a very deep voice, according to Melvin.
209	* {{Expy}}: Word of God is that he's based on ''WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM'''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 ([[https://youtu.be/EAvvhS35ftA?t=20 like so]]), and he's a callous monster.
210	* TheGhost: 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.
211	* GreaterScopeVillain: For Melvin. While there's no real BigBad 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.
212	* RedRightHand: He's pure evil, and he has a prosthetic metal arm.
213	* TheSociopath: 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.

215
216	[[folder:Felix Ferguson]]
217	->'''Played by:''' Tropers/Kablammin45\
218	'''Species:''' Goblin
219
220	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.
221	----
222	* CoolSword: "Old Silver", a sword that he passes on to Kauri.
223	%%* LighthousePoint: Where he lives now.
224	* RefusalOfTheCall: 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.
225	* UnfazedEveryman: He's only momentarily taken aback by the [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits bizarre crew that comes to visit]] but nevertheless lets them in anyway.

228	[[folder:Walter]]
229	->'''Played by:''' @/{{shrubBird}}\
230	'''Species:''' Human
231
232	An old man working as a bartender on Kiosion Island.
233	----
234	* TheBartender: Knows his regulars well enough to throw bottles of liquor at them.
235	* CoolOldGuy: 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.
236	* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: 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. [[LittleDidIKnow Little did he know]] that a motley crew of pirates needed it to fight a giant rock spider.
