Player Name: dragomorph Character Name: Guybrush Threepwood Canon: Monkey Island
Background: I could write out everything I wrote in the last app I wrote, but screw that. (http://www.miwiki.net/Guybrush_Threepwood)
Setting Information: OSTENSIBLY, the setting of Monkey Island is an undisclosed place Deep in the Caribbean sometime during the 17th Century. However, there are a great deal of anachronisms that throw the timeline of the place out of sync, such as Grog machines, amusement parks with roller coasters, and "shoddy 17th century wiring." So while the general feel of the place is around this time period, it is perfectly all right to play fast and loose with it. Magic is pretty much entirely in the realm of voodoo and contact with the spirits, though there are not a lot of specifics; otherwise, most people within the setting are more or less baseline human, with the exception of the one confirmed non-human race, the Vaycaylians, which are an androgynous race of merfolk.
Portal Location: The alley between the church and the general store on Melee Island.
Personality: Guybrush is, to put it politely, not the most stellar example of a hero in existence. He's self-absorbed, vaguely egostical, and naive to a fault, his own clumsiness and lack of foresight often causing even BIGGER problems than what he initially meant to solve. His motivations revolve primarily around himself and whatever he needs to get his goals achieved, and often times this results in dragging in other innocents -- or, really, usually semi-innocents, considering they're mostly pirates -- into his messes. When it comes to any real danger to himself, he often cops out, trying to find the sneakiest method possible to solve his problems. This often tends to be rather convoluted, to say the least.
All of this, put together, would suggest that he is not a good person, but that's far from the truth. Yes, he's often oblivious to the needs of others, but in general he means well, even if he IS obsessed with being a pirate. And while his goals revolve around himself, those goals often involve maintaining things he has grown to love and cherish. Give him something worth protecting and he will typically put his heart and soul into it, whether it be the pirate way of life, the safety of the Caribbean, or -- most importantly -- his lovely wife of several years, Elaine Marley-Threepwood. In addition, years of experience HAS managed to garner him something of a reputation in the Caribbean, enough to at least have ONE person who followed his exploits. He is still very naive and short-sighted, but he HAS developed over the years, becoming a fairly accomplished sword fighter and adventurer. And, being a pirate, his sneaky ways DO come in handy, as his capacity for lateral thinking is unparalleled. (He's still terrible at math, though.)
Recent events have helped him develop a greater sense of gravity than he used to have; he's seen the other side, after all, and experienced darker aspects to the world he had not truly experienced up to this point, which is ironic considering he's a pirate. But he's still the same goofy, seemingly unthreatening flooring inspector lookalike in many respects -- even though he's got a beard now.
