Ahoy mateys! We're sure you've been wondering just who is behind
this scurvy scheme, well we'll be tellin' ya in our own words we will!
|
|
Dragon - Captain of the Firedrake, leader of this mad scheme:
Wanted across the Seven Seas by all Navies and Seagoing Realms for crimes against shipping and
a disregard for the powers that be. A veteran of the C5, C6, C7, C9 and C10 campaigns, Captain Dragon
has seen many hard fought battles, emerging victorious each time. His home port is San Diego but he
frequents many other far off and exotic places such as Corporate Goth and an occasional visit to
alt.gothic and alt.gothic.fashion. In between infamous voyages to scour the high seas for plunder
and booty, Dragon has been involved in putting on clubs in the San Diego area for landlubbers
and scurvy dogs alike. This is not his first time helping to organize Convergence, he served
as event coordinator and assistant stage manager at C7 in New York. His exploits with bottles of
rum are legendary in his own mind and he might even have some notoriety with some of his friends.
Official duties: Committee Chairman, Entertainment Coordinator.

Trid - Cabin Boy and Ship's Idiot:
Trid is second in command of this voyage of insanity. A member of the Convergence 9 committee,
he brings weird imagination and gratuitous leg humping to the effort. Trid has attended C6, C7,
C9 and C10.
Official duties: Official bid spokesperson, Whatever needs fixin' and whatever Dragon drops in his lap.

Christal Blu - Mistress of Naughty:
Get out of line and Christal will have you taking forty lashes or getting keel-hauled.
And she does all that and more in her spare time between wrangling the vendors and
ensuring that there will be plenty of bizarre booty gracing the bazaar. Christal is
a veteran of the Convergence 9 committee and came abord this ship to whip the crew into proper
seafaring shape. Christal has attended C6, C7, C9, and C10.
Official duties: Vendor Coordinator.

Colleen - Ship's Decorator: Colleen is my namesake, but many people call
me Bear because I'm cute and cuddly until you piss me off. Then I debate on whether to run you
through or toss you off the cliff to the rocky reef below. I'm also know as Wyngdlyon in the
online commuity.I'm in charge of keepin' this ship top notch in appearance. I can take a piece
of silk and make things from it beyond your imagination. I came aboard this ship right before
C10 and astonished people with the Captain's clothing even half way across the country.
Colleen attended C10 and has experience organizing SCA events.
Official duties: Decoration Coordinator.

Ducky - Our own, Personal, Jesus:
A case of mistaken identity led Ducky to be Shanghaied into our crew. On a raid of
a Spanish treasure galleon, we found him hanging on the wall of the ship's chapel.
Taken down from the crucifix, he now serves to propel the Firedrake through the
currents and winds of Cyberspace with his strange, mystical powers. Ducky attended
C10 and has experience organizing SCA events.
Official duties: Web crew, technical support.

Adam - Gunner's Mate: Ahoy, they

had a blue head since may 2002. And no....no relation at all to Blue
Beard, says me and my dagger. I'm a computer bard, and general nerd.

to overtake the future of C11. Adam attended C10 and has helped organize
the Labyrinth of Jareth Ball.

waters of finance.

some infernal magic box and brilliant shiny discs.

Slinky - Attitude Officer: Slinky doesn't like you.
Slinky doesn't like anyone, unless you are a mouse, a bird or a bug. Are you
a mouse? A bird? A bug? Slinky wants to bite you. Yum. You taste good.
Slinky is bored with you. He wants you to go away. Hack! Hack! Hack!
You gave Slinky a hairball. Slinky does not care about Convergence
and would not attend even if given a ticket. Captain's Note:
we on the San Diego committee take no responsibility whatsoever for anything
Slinky may say or do. Approach him at your own risk, not valid in Puerto Rico
or the Marianas Islands, take Slinky responsibly and don't drive
under his influence. Remember, you have been warned...
