Create a Character

edited September 2009 in Tales of Monkey Island
So okay, we all love Winslow and many of us love Morgan, but some people are complaining that the little known pirates aren't as great as previous games (I happen to think the two pirates guarding the summoning artifact were pretty funny, but that's just me).

Come up with a character or group of characters that would join the MI hall of fam alongside the Barbershop Quartet (trio), Men of Low Moral Fiber, Largo LaGrande, Kate Capsize, Kenny Loudmouth, Griswald Goodsoup, Mort, The Cannibals (!!! <3), etc

Not So Jolly Roger - A pirate named Roger who has lost his ship and crew and spends his time drinking away his troubles at the Scumm Bar or Club 41. Has a strange affinity for talking in rhyme, which due to its factor of annoyance played a big part in his degeneration.

Ramrod Rita - A tough cookie, this pirate wench can hold her own. Her frizzy hair, scarred face, and sloppy makeup don't take away from the charm of her cockney accent. When asked why they call her Ramrod Rita, she always responds with a wink and an "I'll never tell"

Larry - Joining Guybrush and Winslow on their *hopefully* new ship sailing to end the pox of lechuck, Larry is a bit slow and takes awhile to say his sentences. Although he is very obediant, he doesn't miss an opportunity to tell people about how he has only one eye but a parrot stole his eyepatch.

    Blasko "Valor" Ivanov - A white haired Angry Viking, who Feel Asleep after being cursed my a Norse Witch on the Northern Seas only to wake up shipwrecked in the Caribbean. In strange Land and without coin he sold his ship to a shaddy sales man in order to get a speedier and lower quality ship. He still retains his Norse battlegear now as he wonders the islands searching for treasure, and plunder like the rest of the pirates.

    I actually like everyone in Spinner Cay, but:

    Roger "Slaphappy" McFiend: After being sold to slavery by his wife and subsequently escaping, Slaphappy was saved from sure starvation and death by a sympathetic pirate captain named Francis Renout, who employed Slaphappy as an older cabin boy. Slaphappy repayed Renout by accidentally knocking him off the ship with his mop and then failing to shout for help when the sharks came. This would all go to even worse luck when it is discovered that the ship is about to be attacked by an English fleet bent on destroying the pirates.

    Fearing for their lives, the crew begin lamenting the fall of their captain and prepare to surrender, when Slaphappy tells them that he can save them all and seize the ships. They listen, they try his tactics - and they win the battle, sinking three ships and seizing another two. Voted captain, Slaphappy takes command of his three ships and they sail out, plundering and capturing what they can, getting very rich in the process. All is well until the day Slaphappy is secretly approached by the Governor's secretary whilst on English colonial shores, who, realising that the pirate is impenetrable, offers him even more cash if he does him a favor. And thus Slaphappy sells out his crew to the hangman, and retires far too rich and satisfied on an exclusive island.

    He is called Slaphappy due to his fighting style.

    The Kraken Slayers of Sea's Edge.
    A bunch of crazy, crazy people who sail around and slay huge sea monsters. Not exactly nice, friendly people. In fact, most of them are wanted criminals.
