Captain Beefheart

By -
Comfortably past the first flush of youth, the Captain cuts a manly figure, although a little more manly in the waistband than he would choose. Still favouring loud shirts but getting a little long in the tooth for loud parties, he's spent a hefty portion of his life drifting, avoiding responsibility, looking for something to interest him whilst thinking he's a good person but hard done by. However, he is gradually having to face up to the mounting evidence that in fact he's been a bit of a shit and probably has no-one to blame for anything but himself.

Still knows how to party, but it's mostly by himself of late. Claims he's an out of work Starship Captain just making do for the last twelve years with a job in computing, which may be true or may be the delusional result of too many hard years of substance abuse and a wasted youth. Or a bit of both.

Can cook pretty well but is messy about the house.

He sounds right daft, if you ask me.

Loud shirts avert the waist bound gaze.

Momentarily blinded by the exhaust of yet another Arcturan Porn Freighter, Beefheart instictively threw up his hand to protect his eyes and was so startled to actually see his own hand he flung himself backwards into - to his further shock - a sandbank. Looking down at his own body which had been so noticeably absent from view for the past three days, Beefheart found it as disconcerting as if he had encountered a corpse in his bed and scuttled backwards across the sand in a futile attempt to escape it, stopping abruptly seconds later as his back hit an immovable obstacle. Sweating, heart racing, Beefheart closed his eyes for the first time in three days and forced himself to breathe normally, relishing the sensation. Gradually he allowed his awareness to expand beyond his own panic to begin to take in his environment. Warm sand. Cool breeze. Salty smell. Good start. He opened his eyes cautiously and, squinting against the glare, took in the vista before him. From the surf line twenty y...

Sudden Discomfort

By -
In these enlightened times, most right thinking persons (as opposed to " Right" thinking") were against the killing of sentient or even semi-sentient beings for pleasure. There were, of course, a few exceptions and the hunters were quite vociferous in their opposition to laws banning the killing of other life forms solely for personal gratification. Politicians, lawyers and activists wrangled for centuries until at last a solution was arrived at which all concerned finally - however grudgingingly - agreed to. The rationale was this: If the hunters want to hunt, let them - but let them hunt each other. There were a few token voices of dissent but secretly even the hunters were overjoyed. At last, they would get to waste someone with a gun and no one would call a bad on them. And so it began, the great Hunting Forest Reserve planets of Ursa Major. The rules were simple: 1. To avoid anyone gaining a tactical advantage, all hunters were to carry biometrically tagged weapons ...

Anthony Pereira

By Anonymous -
A constant bore and a pathetic whiner, Anthony has made it through much of his young life on pity and a pretty face. Ok, pity. Unable to differentiate between reality and a make-beleive world of fantasy inhabited by troll dolls and the cast of the original Degrassi series he made up while in an ether endused coma at the age of 7, Anthony is rarely able to cope with any situation more stressful than a long hot bath. Upon dropping out of University after a failed year, a metal breakdown, and the sound of $14 000 being flushed down the toilet, Anthony Pereira decided to take some time figure things out, ie. slack off for a while. After taking several jobs in the Customer Service Minion Industry Anthony can now be found rocking in the corner of an empty room. Can he add a unique perspective to this project? How about a dimension? Will he even remember about it next week? Will he show up dressed like a mountie then hump a moose? Who knows!
