Interviewer: So our readers know, what is your name?
Captain: It has been so long since I have been called anything else, I can barely remember the name I was born with. I am simply known now as 'The Captain'. Oftentimes "hey, Captain", or "begging your pardon, Ma'am, but ..." and - rarely, because they disappear soon afterwards - "c'mere, girly".
Interviewer: Are you male or female?
Captain: Do you need me to curtsy? Because I won't ...
but I could.Interviewer: Are you an Aristocrat or an Adventurer?
Captain: Definitely an Adventurer. There is nothing better than flying through the sky in control of a mighty airship. Wind in your teeth and bugs in your hair, as the saying goes.
Interviewer: Why did you become an Adventurer?
Captain: Well, there was this incident back in 2263. I was kidnapped while working in a tavern, and taken aboard an airship because the Captain thought I knew where some treasure was hidden. I grew to like the life, worked my way up ... and here I am.
Interviewer: Have you led a life of hardship or privilege because of that?
Captain: I think I have led a life which has given me more privilege than hardship. I am a Captain now, after all, and so basically my own boss. A privateer's life is a rewarding one
wink wink.
Interviewer: Do you have siblings?
Captain: I vaguely remember having to share a bed with several other children, and there were other beds in the room filled with children too, in the tavern my parents ran, so I guess I must have a good number of siblings. But I have not seen them for so many years now I wouldn't know them.
Interviewer: Do you have any pets?
Captain: My crew. I jest, of course. Or do I ... ?
wink winkInterviewer: What do you think of UltimaCorp?
Captain: I have a contract with them, to carry out certain jobs in between the privateering work, so I can
not say anything but
good things about the company.
Interviewer: How often do you train & what is your training routine?
Captain: In my mind, I am always training. My brain never shuts down. Physically, I train every morning before breakfast. We have some of the latest high-quality pieces of equipment in the airship gym; and while training I like to blast out some motivating music. [begins humming]
Interviewer: What is your favourite weapon?
Captain: Whatever I can take from my enemy. I have a substantial pile of them now.
Interviewer: What snacks & drink would you pack for a battle?
Captain: Rum of course - elixir of the battle-gods. And scroggin, for an energy hit.
Interviewer: What is a piece of advice you would give to new fighters?
Captain: Wash your teeth with rum, it really helps.
Interviewer: What do you eat for breakfast before a big battle?
Captain: When we aren't being served potatoes, I like to fill up on apple pie & ice cream.
Interviewer: Do you have a special 'battle cry' for when you spot your enemy?
Captain: Yes, it's "Come on, let's loot them for all they're worth!" Those aristocrats tremble in fear, I can tell you.
Interviewer: Where do you keep your guns?
Captain: In the UltimaCorp-approved Nimbus 600 Super-Safe Safe, of course, as set out in the regulations handbook. I would never keep them anywhere which wasn't mandated by the Company.
N-e-v-e-r.
Interviewer: What colour should the Clockwork Arena be painted?
Captain: I think a nice lavender. Soothing, yet visually appealing while one beats one's enemy battle after battle after battle. Perhaps we could throw in some nice soft pillows, in a silver accent? Lovely.
Interviewer: What do you do for fun?
Captain: I like to knit. I make jerseys for the Society for Prevention of Unnecessary Cruelty to Underprivileged Adventurers.
Interviewer: What is your favourite book?
Captain: "How To Train Your Crewmen (And Women) And Run A Successful Airship". An excellent reference book.
Interviewer: What is your favourite flavour ice-cream?
Captain: You expect me to say 'rum & raisin' don't you? Well it's not. My favourite is Goody-Goody Gumdrop. A sophisticated, yet playful flavour. Let no-one tell you otherwise!
Interviewer: If you were allowed into the laboratory, what would you create?
Captain: Hmm, I'm not sure. An automated apple pie & ice cream dispenser, maybe?
Interviewer: Do you have any allergies? Annoying habits?
Captain: I bite my nails. And I like to sing.
Interviewer: Do you have a special talent?
Captain: Not one I am prepared to brag about.
Interviewer: What are your dreams for the future?
Captain: To have a fleet of airships, with a great crew so that I might have more time to knit jerseys. At some point I may wish to have a family.
Interviewer: Anything you wish to add for our readers at home … ?
Captain: A captain is only as good as her crew, and so I'd like to give a hearty cheer to my airship companions - Lieutenant
@oendertuerk, and Cadets
@oendertuerk,
@oendertuerk and
@oendertuerk As WolfGuards we will rule the skies, and there will be extra rum in your paypackets this month!
We thank The Captain for an enlightening interview.
