J
Character Name: Jimmy Hatfield
Location: In an alley behind an abandoned office building in New York City.
Additional Character Info: The rent is too damn high and that's why we're homeless and have no shoes.

First step in our adventure should be to find some dang shoes.

B
Name: Johnny Lobster
Location: bridge of the exploration vessel Decapoda, waiting for a mission briefing
Additional Character Info:
Johnny is a considered a hotshot pilot with an outstanding service record during the Prawn Wars: most notably, bringing over 450 refugees home safely over the course of numerous runs behind enemy lines during the Wickerwork Incident. The notoriety has gone to his head, leading to bad habits of womanizing and mouthing off to his captain, Rufus Hardclaw III, but he can be relied upon in the pinch.

(I see Johnny's setting as a sort of marine-themed steampunk – think Captain Nemo and the Nautilus. Whether the titular "New Worlds" are above the sea or below it remains to be discovered...)

+1 love the idea of sea creatures manning a ship. i do however think that it would be funny if they explored the surface in a plane, but acted like it was a ship

1+ Johnny Lobster the lobster with a snappy attitude!

Johnny Lobster is in the bridge of the exploration vessel Decapoda, waiting for a mission briefing. A screen soon pops up - it's Captain Rufus Hardclaw III. He looks stern, as usual.

   
   "Johnny. Hope you got some decent sleep. This next mission could get pretty wild."

An image of a map pops up next to the captain.



   
   "We're going to the surface world. And not just some outpost a few hundred segments in. We're going to Croid 7. Unexplored surface sector fourty megasegments inland. Further out than any lobster's been on the northeastern surface mass."

The captain continues unaffected.

   "Mission's as usual - get a lay of the geography, look for any anomalies, collect samples and data, plant geo-markers, all the standard stuff. You just gotta take us there and back in one piece."

The captain suddenly looks more serious than before.

   "This isn't a regular clip-n'-slip, so I need you at your best Johnny. There have been reports of unidentified surface-lurchers roaming around Onyzuris F. No telling what we'll find further out. So this ain't the time for shenanigans, you hear me?"

The captain takes a quick breath, as if already angry at some unsaid shenanigan.

   "We'll be taking off in a short while. You got any questions for me Johnny?"
   

[King Zultan]

I think we're good lets start this mission.

[VoidSlayer]

Got it sir, double the shenanigans when I get back though!

A maverick like Johnny should probably be wearing aviator sunglasses.

+1 We need the aviators, as they make us better pilots.

   "Got it sir, double the shenanigans when I get back though!"
Johnny quips to the captain, who looks more severe for a few seconds, before letting out a chuckle.

   
   "Heh heh, let's say I'll give you a freebie if this all goes smoothly."
The captain then quickly gets back to business.

   "We take off in 10 minutes. Make any last minute preparations and be ready by then."
The screen blips away as the captain signs off.

Johnny puts on his aviator sunglasses, equal parts fashion statement and practical utility.

Johnny's phone then beeps. He glances at it and sees a new text message from a Cienna Reeftail: "Hey, where are you? Why aren't you answering my messages?"


(Optional) Character Background / World-building: What does Johnny know about the surface world?

[King Zultan]

About to start a dangerous and possibly top secret mission, so I'm not at liberty to say.

(Optional) Character Background / World-building: What does Johnny know about the surface world?

That it is a dangerous and hostile place, filled with such monsters as bark thing, stripy thing, two legged thing, and many more horrible monsters.
