Nick Seaman

Amidst his prime, Nick compensates for his lack of interpersonal skills by reading the dictionary and using big words to impress people. Even if he doesn't know what they mean. He has a panache for all varieties of pie (save rhubarb), a fact that is evident when you glance at his belly, which is large and covered in blueberry stains. He quit smoking about two months ago, and yet always has cigarettes wherever he goes.

He owns five of the same outfit so he does not have to decide what to wear to his job each day. The job in question is at a copy shop which he loves and hates on altenate days. Loves to swear and is unafraid to do so in front of anyone.

Has his fair share of regret but does not dwell on the past. Lives in the now and has to be noticed. Has an enormous ego for someone so shy, and his arrogance is overwhelming sometimes.

Stows away on The Captain's starship, assuming the identity of the feared space pirate Ol' Pie Beard.

Rhubarb is a prince among fruit! Or, er, vegetables. It's a prince of many realms!

(Chewing on rubarb stick) Well, Pie Beard, what's your take on celery, then?

I find Celery highly difficult to pronounce sometimes. Otherwise it's delicious.

I find roobarb easy to say, ridiculous to spell, and delicious in pies.
