Jack G. Goldfish

**Jack G. Goldfish** was a major recurring character in The Codpast Podcast introduced in episode \_\_\_\_.

## **History**

When he first entered the Codpast, little was known about his backstory, with the exception that he had affiliations with the late John G. Goldfish.

As time went on, Jack G. Goldfish revealed that he was the first fish in all of fishkind to have a fish Medical Degree. Not only was he receiving a substantial amount of money for having a very high paying job being the only fish to perform fish surgery successfully, but he was also receiving funding fish government funding for being a fish.

He was a wildly successful, albeit busy, surgeon who had been able to perform surgeries and operations previously thought impossible. Due to his tight schedule, he would enter the Codpast at later times, usually wasted.

In a twist of events, Jack G. Goldfish was murdered under mysterious circumstances, presumably for receiving the private government funding he wasn't supposed to mention. His body was later found by Jim G. Goldfish, who witnessed Lawyer Lawyer patenting his body and dragging it away. He was never seen again.
Detective Clues

**Detective Clues**, according to Dankie Dogfish is an investigator working for the police department. Dankie and his brother, Frankie, are often clients of Clues. Frankie and Dankie have often brought up Detective Clues however Clues has never had a speaking role in The Codpast Podcast.

## History

Detective Clues was first brought up when Frankie Frogfish was running outside of the Nintendo of America building in a fish suit and attacked by Reggie. Clues was brought up later when Frankie claimed Clues had declined to look into the death of Frankie's sister. Dankie later referred Fishlegs Jr. to Clues in order to investigate the murder of Fishlegs.
The Codpast Podcast

The Codpast Podcast is a podcast about historical fish.

*The pinnacle of modern comedy, historical fish enthusiasts from around the world gather to produce a podcast.*

-Description on Spotify by Jeff Legally

The first episode, #0: Hook, aired on multiple podcast platforms on March 16, 2020. These platforms include Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Breaker, Castbox, Google Play Music, Overcast, PocketCasts, RadioPublic, and Anchor. It is currently ongoing with an ever changing cast to discuss the philosophical fish questions we all want to ask and the what ifs in the fish world. The cast is a diverse mix of fish and humans with the occasional guest. Multiple episodes are denoted with an 'E' for Explicit due to the cast's colorful language and subjects they talk about. Additionally, each episode is named after fishing terms to emphasize the concept of the fish concept.
Lil Loach

First appeared on episode #17: Float with Dr. Angler.

Did not graduate from Harvard but is more successful from his counterpart, Dr. Angler, and even hired Dr. Angler as his assistant.

He is a half fish and half human and wishes for a more accepting world. Believes that his inner diversity is why Harvard rejected him.

Killed Dr. Angler.
Fishlegs Jr.

**Fishlegs Jr.** is a major character in The Codpast Podcast who first appears in "The Codpast Podcast #7: Still Fishing", replacing his deceased father, Fishlegs.

## History

Fishlegs Jr. was born to fishlegs. Although he is a human, he is still referred to as "Fishlegs Jr." due to his Cerebral Palsy. His father is shown as abusive towards Fishlegs Jr.
Emerald Zone

The Emerald Zone is one of the 4 Cardinal Zones on the map. Its naturally occurring crystal is Emerald, and its native Enemy is Vitality. Traveling to this Zone is essential, as harvesting the Emerald crystals here is the only way to regenerate health once damaged. Without Emerald, it is impossible to recover damage, and since a full bar of HP is required to grow Zircon armor, Emerald is required to fully utilize Zircon.

### Survivability

Due to the health restoring Emerald crystals native to this Zone, surviving here is generally easy. Additionally, the Zone's native enemy Vitality, is quite tenacious and attacks slowly, making for a quite easy time surviving here.
PANDA

## PANDA (Portable Artifact Notation and Data Analyser)

### About

The PANDA is a tool invented by Fanchon Quills for use by the explorers and the Synthesis. It is primarily an artifact scanner that is capable of identifying the origin, type and age of fossils, bones, teeth, pottery, etc. In The Double Helix, it is upgraded to scan DNA traces on artifacts, and project a holographic model of the organism the DNA a belongs to moments prior to the DNA deposition.
Swan

Swan is a spy for Nebula and Brume. Her identity is unknown, although we know that she is a female, is in touch with Thorne Prescott, and tracks Emmett Lu with a camera on his emoto-glasses. She is not mentioned that much, except for a few times from Prescott.

Her role doesn't relate to the story that much, since she is barely heard from.
Alec Lu

###### Explorer, be warned.

There are spoilers ahead. Please do not continue reading if you haven't read *The Tiger's Nest yet.*

**Dr. Alec Lu** is Emmett Lu's father. He works at the Archive, and he appears in *The Tiger's Nest*.

## Significance in Books

In *The Tiger's Nest*, he takes Cruz to the Archive to let him see page seventy-two of his mother's notebook.

## Trivia

* In *The Nebula Secret*, Emmett told Cruz that his father had won the North Star award.
Atoli

Atoli is a former student at Absolution Academy, and a current member of the Supernova Pirates.. She is the youngest of the 3 princess sisters.

## Personality

Atoli is a very sweet, quiet individual. She isn't very brave, and has been shown to be rather cowardly in some situations. She has complete trust in her sisters, and has been shown to panic when her sisters get attacked or defeated. Despite her sword having some very strong abilities, she's not confident in her ability to use them and often avoids fighting by herself.

## Powers and Abilities

Atoli is the weakest of her sisters, but she still isn't a pushover. She's able to fight with her sword, but often requires protection from stronger opponents.

On top of that, she owns one of the 3 royal swords. Her sword is **Mercy, the Justifier**. It is imbued with the Chain-Chain Fruit, giving her access to everything the fruit has to offer.

Unlike most students at the Academy, Atoli does not have access to Haki.
Steve Jobs Fish

**Steve Jobs Fish** is a guest character on The Codpast Podcast. First appearing in "The Codpast Podcast #5: Chum", he has made various innovations for fishkind. He has created the iFishGun which is a gun that shoots child fish that attack people. He has provided various fish terrorist organizations with his weapons. He also stole Fishlegs's Fish Ouija idea, mass marketing and reaping all of the profits. Black Steve Jobs Fish is his associate who does the illegal side of his operations.
Fish Lawyer

Replacing Legsfish in "The Codpast Podcast #7: Still Fishing" after Legsfish's murder, Fish Lawyer is a major recurring character. Although his name is Fish Lawyer, he studies patent law, not fish law. He is shown to utilize the law to defend himself in arguments and has self proclaimed himself as "the best in the business".

## History

Fish Lawyer was Legsfish's patent lawyer and has apparently patented thousands of corpses over the course of his career, even patenting Fishlegs's body. He joins the Codpast after Legsfish and his Fish Lawyer (Not to be confused with the patent lawyer named Fish Lawyer) are murdered in "The Codpast Podcast #6: Snap".
Diamond Flower

The Diamond Flower is a natural Structure that can spawn anywhere. At the start of a room, it is protected by two Principalities. There can only be one at a time. The main purpose of the Diamond Flower is to generate Diamond Buds around itself, with a limit of 20 Buds at once. Once this limit has been reached, the Diamond Flower will cease to generate any new Buds until some old ones have been broken. It should also be noted that all Diamond Buds placed by a Diamond Flower will immediately break in the event that the Flower breaks. Diamond Buds are small growths of Diamond that yield 4 Diamond Shards when broken. They serve as the fruit of the Diamond Beacon, as well as its core purpose.

#### Charging

If a Diamond Flower is in the vicinity of a Diamond Beacon, it will become charged by the Beacon, causing it to generate Diamond Buds faster. Up to 10 Beacons can charge a Flower at once.

#### Strategies For Capturing

The Diamond Flower is not particularly easy to obtain and farm due to the nature of its twin guardians, the Principalities. Since these powerful Enemies must be killed before the Diamond Flower can be seized, it is recommended that the player have high amounts of Ruby, Emerald, and Zircon before provoking them. Although there are multiple ways to provoke, the best way is by shooting a large salvo of Ruby Missiles at the Enemies before they can react. Once the Principalities are provoked, it is optimal keep on the move and wait until they begin resting to attack. The quickest way to win this fight is by bombarding them with as many Ruby Missiles as possible, making sure to hit both at once if possible. Though somewhat scarce, the attacks from these Enemies should not be overlooked, as they deal enough damage to easily crack a player's Zircon Shield in seconds. Additionally, these Enemies attack and move in unison, granted they are provoked at at the same time (which is mostly the case).

#### Strategies For Farming

The Diamond Flower is most commonly protected inside player Bases (colloquially referred to as Flower Bases) and farmed, with an optimal 10 Beacons charging it at all times. It should be noted that 2 players are required to fully charge a Diamond Flower. The Flower can max out a player in under a minute if properly charged, and can greatly aid a player in unlocking Diamond Ascension. A key point to remember is that many players will flock to large bases, and Flower Bases are prime targets for raiders, as there can only be one at a time in an entire room. Finally, if there are Diamond Beacons charging it, the Diamond Flower's AI guardians, the Principalities, will perpetually respawn and attempt to reclaim the Diamond Flower from the base by attacking and chasing any player near the base. Since they deal moderate damage to the Flower Base, they should be dealt with posthaste.

Archive

###### Explorer, be warned.

There are spoilers ahead. Please do not continue reading if you haven't read Explorer Academy: The Falcon's Feather yet.

The Archive is a part of the Synthesis. It collects, stores and protects digital data and books on every topic. Its existence is meant to be a secret, just like the Synthesis. Full protection gear must be worn in order to protect the documents it stores within itself.

## Archive

### Location

Underground

The Archive has multiple entry points, due to the secrecy the Synthesis follows.
CAVE

The **Computer Animated Virtual Experience "CAVE"** is a simulator at Explorer Academy. It is able to create a lifelike virtual version of a place. On *Orion*, there is a miniature version of the CAVE. The CAVE is used for the explorers' training, and it is used for other things, too, such as in *The Double Helix* when the explorers had a Halloween party. The CAVE uses climate controls, holograms, and thermal radiation.
EggsTend

The **EggsTend** is a robot that Blessica, Emmett Lu, Kwento Osasona, and Ekaterina Pajarin made in *The Tiger's Nest* for Funday. Fanchon helped them, too.

## About

The EggsTend is a robotic turtle egg that helps protect sea turtle nests. It finds a nest, and it keeps track of information about it, including egg number, temperature, and type, which it sends to a conservation center. If the EggsTend detects motion from above, it sirens to scare the invader away. If it detects motion from below, it lets the conservation center know that the eggs are hatching, so that they can come to help. After the eggs all hatch, the EggsTend finds a new nest.
Sgt. Suckerpunch

— **Sgt. Suckerpunch**

**Sgt. Suckerpunch** is the first boss found in The Toilet Realm introduced in the 0.1.3 update. He initially blocks your path to The Clog before he is defeated.

## Appearance

Sgt. Suckerpunch is a humanoid man with plungers in place of limbs. He has very tan skin and red/orange eyes with lime green hair and eyebrows. He has a very prominent cleft chin and a large underbite that show off his yellow teeth. He dons a gray, almost brown/bronze chestplate and a black belt with a yellow buckle.

## Gameplay

Sgt. Suckerpunch has 3 main moves, and he will loudly announce which one he is using as he attacks.

* **Plunger Death Wheel:**

This is an attack where Suckerpunch does cartwheels and attempts to crash into the player. Most of the time, it's easy to avoid and doesn't deal too much damage.

* **Plunger Tornado:**

In this attack, he will jump and constantly charge at the player while spinning around, allowing him to temporarily fly at high speeds. This is probably his deadliest attack, as it's hard to block and/or avoid. However, after he finishes this attack, he will start feeling nauseous and become stunned for a few seconds, giving the player plenty of time to attack him.

* **Plunger Kick:**

When using this attack, Sgt. Suckerpunch will try to run and kick the player when in close proximity. It's similar to the plunger death wheel, so it's easy to counter and doesn't pose much of a threat.

## Strategies

Once Suckerpunch uses his Plunger Death Wheel and Plunger Tornado, he will stand stationary allowing you to attack. At this point, you should walk up to him and swing your weapon at him as he stands there. If you don't kill him before he's able to use his Plunger Kick, simply counter them by pointing your weapon at him once he launches towards you.

When attempting to evade the Plunger Tornado, rapidly changing the direction in which you are flying will improve your chance of evading Suckerpunch, as it will take him some time to readjust his flight path. The strafe keys can be used to make this task easier.

## Trivia

* Movement-based Spells, such as "crush", "push", and "lift", have little to no effect on Sgt. Suckerpunch because of his plunger-limbs. They only work if all 4 of his limbs are in the air.
* If the player encounters Suckerpunch with the plunger he gives you, he will let you pass without a fight. He can still be fought if the player attacks him.
Hubbard

Hubbard

**Hubbard** is Taryn Secliff's West Highland White Terrier. He first appears in *The Nebula Secret*. Hubbard sleeps in a tartan dog bed, and on *Orion*, he wears a life vest. Throughout the series, Cruz becomes good friends with Hubbard.

## Trivia

* In *The Double Helix*, Taryn mentioned that Hubbard is two years old.
* Cruz hides pieces of the formula inside a pocket of Hubbard's life vest.
* In *The Star Dunes*, Taryn used a leash on Hubbard that is described to be red.

## Significance in Books

Felipe was first mentioned in *The Double Helix*, in which he does not play a major role.

### *The Tiger's Nest*

When Cruz, Emmett, Lani, and Sailor hid in Laundry to catch the explorer spy, Emmett figured out that the spy was Felipe by his night-vision glasses. He did not, however, actually see him. Cruz gave some false information to Felipe about where they were going, but he did not seem to tell it to Nebula. Near the end of *The Tiger's Nest*, Cruz wondered if the spy was Felipe after all.
MC Camera

The MC Camera (or Mind Control Camera) is a fictional head-mounted piece whose wearer can take pictures and videos with using their mind.

## About

The MC Camera is first introduced in The Nebula Secret in Professor Benedict's class. Cruz assists in the demonstration.

## Appearance

Lani is not very tall. She has medium-short brown hair with a silver hairlock. Before *The Falcon's Feather,* she still had long hair without the lock.

## Significance in Books

### *The Nebula Secret*

### *The Star Dunes*

In *The Star Dunes*, Lani joins Explorer Academy.
Frankie Frogfish

Frankie Frogfish is a major recurring character on The Codpast Podcast. He is 7 years old as revealed in “The Codpast Podcast #8: Weedless Spoon”. He has a brother named Dankie Dogfish. He is an extreme fish enthusiast and often uses method acting to fit in with the Codpast Podcast, dressing in fish suits and spying on the other members of the podcast.

## History

Not much is known about Frankie Frogfish’s backstory other than that he has a brother named Dankie Dogfish. In “The Codpast Podcast #4: Lure” he gets removed from the podcast and is rejected on his reapplication with much insistence from Frankie himself. He later attempts suicide by hanging after he found out his brother replaces him in “The Codpast Podcast #5: Chum”. In “The Codpast Podcast #7: Still Fishing”, his autopsy reveals that he is still alive. Frankie then attempts to impersonate his “father” by calling himself Daddy Dogfish in attempt to get the other members of the podcast to call him “daddy” in “The Codpast Podcast #8: Weedless Spoon”.
Petra Coronado

Petra Coronado

Marisol Coronado (sister-in-law)

**Petra Coronado** is Cruz Coronado's mother and a former Academy student. She created the journal that Cruz uses to find the cipher pieces, and also the cipher pieces, which are created out of black marble. She was apparently killed mysteriously in a lab by a fire.

Spoiler for the seventh book: In the seventh book, Cruz finds out his mother survived the fire.

[This page needs expansion]
Dugan Marsh

Dugan

**Dugan Marsh** is an explorer on Team Cousteau. He is from Santa Fe, New Mexico; and his roommate is Ali Soliman. Their room is next to Cruz and Emmett's room. He had been an Enemy of Cruz for a while in the first three or four books.

## Personality

Dugan didn't seem to be very friendly at the beginning. He could be described as annoying, complaining, tiring, and even a bit demanding. He also tries to make an impression. Later, he and Cruz become sort of friends. Dugan can be very funny and friendly when he wants to.
Principality

Principality is one of 4 cardinal Enemies. Two of them spawn above the Champion's Pillar, quickly flying to the proximity of the Diamond Flower to protect it once it spawns. It possesses only one attack: a Diamond Bullet capable of formidable damage. This Enemy is the most agile in the game, capable of Player-like flight and high speed pursuit with a small duration of resting period. Though it has much more health than any other Enemy type and has an identical twin with it at all times, it is still rather easy to defeat if the attacking Player moves evasively and uses Ruby Missiles at the opportune time. Although normally passive, Principality has three aggressive modes: The first is activated if the Diamond Flower is attacked by a Player or Enemy. The second is activated if the Diamond Flower is absent from the room, wherein Principality returns to the Champion's Pillar and becomes unconditionally aggressive to any approaching Players. The final mode is activated if a Diamond Beacon is placed to charge the Diamond Flower. If there are Diamond Beacons charging a Diamond Flower, Principality will become aggressive to any Player that enters its range. In most cases where both Principalities are shattered, a Flower Base is built around the Diamond Flower, and Players are residing inside the base, this mode of behavior will cause the Principalities to approach the proximity of the Diamond Flower and attack the Base once they respawn.
Dankie Dogfish

Dankie Dogfish, or "Mr. Dogfish", is a major recurring character in The Codpast Podcast. Replacing his brother, Frankie Frogfish, in "The Codpast Podcast #4: Lure", he has appeared mid-way through multiple episodes of the podcast. He has a New Jersey accent and is confirmed to be 7 years old in "The Codpast Podcast #8: Weedless Spoon".

## History

After his brother, Frankie, was rejected from the podcast, Dankie was quick to replace him. Soon after, Frankie attempted to commit suicide through hanging in which Dankie failed to save him (He was later saved by a neighbor). Dankie then suspects his neighbor to be gay after witnessing him giving CPR to Frankie in order to save him.
Planet Pup

**Planet Pup** is a robot that Weatherly Bright, Cruz Coronado, Felipe Rivera, and Shristine made in *The Tiger's Nest* for Funday. Fanchon and Dr. Vanderwick helped them, too.

## About

Planet Pup is a three-in-one robotic dog toy for Hubbard. It consists of a ball, a disk, and a stick, which is approximately a third of the disk and can detach from it. On Hubbard's collar is a piece that allows him to use his brain to choose which toy he would like to play with. He can play with multiple of the toys, if he would like. Planet Pup can move on its own, allowing Hubbard to play with it by himself.
Bryndis Jónsdóttir

Bryndis

**Bryndis Jónsdóttir** is a character in Explorer Academy and is Cruz’s classmate from Reykjavík, Iceland. She is on Team Cousteau, along with Cruz, Emmett, Sailor, Dugan, Renshaw (1st book), and Lani (4-7th book). She most likely has feelings for Cruz, (seeing as she's kissed him on the lips once, and on the cheek 3 times, but she could be faking for all we know) and he likes her, too.

She is a bright-hearted girl who saved Cruz's life many times.

Some common interests she shares with Cruz is Hubbard, surfing, exploring, [to be expanded]

She is also found to be the Jaguar spy who was forced to help Nebula in the seventh book after being tricked by Dr Vanderwick (Later revealed to be Zebra) and trapped with no way out.

## Personality

Bryndis enjoys surfing in Iceland. She is also brave, kind, and smart. In The Falcon's Feather, it is mentioned that she has a brother.

## Significance in Books

**Note: This is a work-in-progress.**

Bryndis was first mentioned in *The Nebula Secret*. She is in every single book, since she is one of the main characters in this series. Although she was in a hospital in Uganda for the second half of The Star Dunes, she was still mentioned. At all other times, she was present on Orion, exploring, or at the academy's headquarters with Cruz.

Favorites:

Sport- Surfing

Animal- Mountain Gorillas

Person onboard Orion- Cruz & Hubbard (likely)

### *The Nebula Secret*

Towards the end of the book, She helped get Cruz back to the Academy after he was expelled for being framed by Renshaw for hacking into the CAVE missions. By springing Cruz back into the Academy, this made Cruz develop a crush on Bryndis. Especially since while Cruz was in the hospital, Bryndis visited Cruz to deliver the news about Renshaw being expelled and Cruz being innocent. A nurse at the hospital called Bryndis "your girlfriend" to Cruz, after Bryndis left. This left Cruz flustered, wondering if Bryndis actually did have a crush on him.

### *The Dragon's Blood*

The rest of this section is not actually in the book:
A deleted scene was revealed by Trudi Trueit. On a website, Trudi Trueit shows a scene that she loved but had to remove from the story. Basically what happened was that the explorers were in Australia. In this scene, the team is split into groups of 2. Cruz and Bryndis were paired together and they got to help injured koalas, tree kangaroos, and sugar gliders at a rehab center. Both Bryndis and Cruz really enjoy this experience.

John G. Goldfish

**John G. Goldfish** was originally the only goldfish on The Codpast Podcast who first appears in The Codpast Podcast #0: Hook.

## **History**

Through pure fish luck, John G. Goldfish ended up on the Codpast Podcast with no prior knowledge on fish. Minutes later he was incarcerated under accusations of being a fish racist. During his stay in the prison, he was stabbed by his rogue cellmate, resulting in his death. Fortunately, Moorish Idol revives John with her FPhD (Fish Doctorate of Philosophy).

During the fourth episode, "The Codpast Podcast #4: Lure", Moorish Idol requested her FPhD, which she had previously used to revive him, back for personal reasons. This turn of events led to a roast-off between John G. Goldfish and Moorish Idol for possession rights over the FPhD. Unfortunately, John G. Goldfish declared that he committed the Armenian Genocide and subsequently lost the roast, losing the FPhD that was keeping him alive. The loss of the roast resulted in John being kicked off the Codpast.

As John was dying, the IR-FISH burst into his home and shot him dead for tax evasion.

He was later found by his brother, Jack G. Goldfish.
The Forbidden Island

***The Forbidden Island*** is the seventh and final book in the *Explorer Academy* series. It was released on October 4th, 2022.

Koshirou

Koshirou is a former student at Absolution Academy, and a current member of the Supernova Pirates. He is one of the 3 students who are descendants from Wano.

## Personality

Koshirou is the most skilled of the 3 Wano Samurai, and one of the strongest students at the academy not in the Monster Trio. He is very close to Edajima and Sanjuro, and also seems to have somewhat of a older brother relationship with Mistral, who is one of the weakest at the academy.

The Sherriden Royal Blades

The Sherriden Royal blades are a set of 3 blades that have been handed down through multiple generations of royal families. Originally owned by the "Sherriden" family, the 3 blades are imbued with Devil Fruits to make them incredibly powerful.

## Blades

There are 3 blades that are part of the Sherriden.

"Fury, the Executioner" which is imbued with the Gravity-Gravity Fruit, and owned by Velvet.

"Limbo, The Defender" which is imbued with the Grow-Grow Fruit, and owned by Lailah.

"Mercy, the Justifier" which is imbued with the Chain-Chain Fruit, and owned by Atoli.

Fury is supposed to be the offensive powerhouse of the bunch, having incredible offensive capabilities with the Gravity Fruit. Limbo is supposed to be the middle of both, being able to have strong offensive powers (Even though not as offensive as Fury), and have strong defensive powers (Not as strong as Mercy).

Swamp Palace

The palace was built to celebrate the success of Yellow Diamond’s colony and was a symbol of this achievement. A ball was even held there by Pink Diamond after construction was completed. It was the first more decorative structure built, following behind more functional structures like the Galaxy Warp and the Communication Hub. During its construction, not much consideration was given for the future of the area’s environmental changes. This area of flatland that hugged close to water would, overtime, flood and eventually transform into a swamp. This had already started to occur even before the colony’s abandonment, making it a less than desirable place to visit. The palace wouldn’t be able to be maintained in these developing harsh conditions which only increased the rate at which the palace fell into disrepair. The music box in which Melody Stone is imprisoned in was left behind there when the colony was abandoned along with a Yellow Spinel. The groups few and far between visits to the Palace have allowed Yellow Spinel to stay in hiding, utilizing her stretchy powers to do this.
