## Description

*"Hi guys my name is Boucan Picaroon and I love my best friend ever Wigwel Wigglebottom" -Landon Partain*

### Personality

Boucan is a young Goblin who is a little bit unhinged, mainly due to his exposure to the world of piracy starting at a young age. He is quick witted but also not very witty. He is very trusting, as seen at the beginning of the first session, where he immediately recruited Wigwel into his pirate crew. His antics often land him in very sticky and unfortunate situations. Despite his unstable nature, he is quite well-spoken for a goblin, and is often able to persuade people to do insane things.

Whilst he is a pirate, he isn't a very good one, since he acted as the ship musician of the Soggy Saga prior to his father's death. He lacks many of the skills necessary to be even considered a passable pirate captain, but he makes up for it in his electric lute playing, which he greatly prides himself in.

### Appearance

Boucan is a 3'7" bald Goblin. His limbs are very stubby and his eyes are a dark, sunken yellow. He has long pointed ears, and he is often seen grinning mischievously.

Boucan typically wears your average pirate's garbs; A blouse, along with a long jacket, and baggy pants. He often wears pointed shoes and a pirate captains hat, when available.

## Campaign

### Pre-Act 1

Boucan was born to Charles Picaroon, an infamous pirate legend who terrorized the West Goblin Sea and plundered the elven coast. He acted as the ship's musician, and chief entertainer, playing the lute, flute, and electric lute for his crewmates.

When Boucan was 8 years old, his father died, leaving Boucan nothing but a run down sloop in his will. Boucan and his two best friends then embarked on a raiding party.

### Act 1

Boucan first appears sailing the S.S. Hithole upon the West Goblin Sea, alongside his close friends and crewmates Osborne Ravilot and Shiv. His crew had just come from plundering the West Fae Coast when they stumbled upon the sinking ship of Wigwel Wigglebottom, whom Boucan recruited after some bickering with his crewmates. His ship was then promptly raided by Gwynevere Shadowborne and her Dragon Turtle. During the encounter, Osborne was killed, and Boucan and Wigwel were captured and sent to Sir Beastmaster's Squid Game challenge, just like the other 4 members of the adventuring party.

During Sir Beastmaster's speech, it is revealed that he is a massive Sir Beastmaster fan, and that he avidly watches him on Scribbletube. He proclaimed that he is Sir Beastmaster's number 1 fan, and he even went as far as trying to seduce him.

He is betrayed by Michael Change during the first Squid Game trial, being let go of on the edge of a cliffside leading to lava. However, he was able to escape by grabbing onto one of the Bronze Beholders that was being used to film him and using it as a means of flying. His reckless flying led to Michael Change's alleged amnesia inducing head injury, after which Boucan considered the two of them even.

## Relationships

### Charles Picaroon

Boucan's relationship with his father was seemingly one of very little strain or hardship. Being the youngest of the Picaroon's, Boucan was generally shielded from the real hardships of the seven seas by his father, who wanted his youngest son to remain young and innocent forever. However, near the end of his life, Charles realized that he had raised a lazy and mooching bum. Whilst still loving and caring up until his final days, Charles left Boucan none of his possessions, apart from his first sloop, in his will, wishing for Boucan to go out on his own and make himself into the pirate legend that Charles wished for him to be.

Boucan aspires to be like his father, hoping to one day be as rich and infamous as the legendary Charles Picaroon. While he cares deeply for his late father, he is still quite bitter about the lack of riches he received from the will. Despite this, he still remembers his father in a very positive light, and often laments about missing him.

### Shiv and Osborne

Shiv and Osborne were Boucan's closest friends for nearly his entire life. Osborne served as an older brother figure to Boucan, who was quite estranged from his biological siblings. Shiv, on the other hand, served as his mischievous younger brother. The three met on the Soggy Saga, and were often found playing pranks on fellow crewmates, including the captain himself.

After the death of Charles Picaroon, both Shiv and Osborne pledged themselves to serve under Boucan on the S.S. Hithole. His fathers death rendered him emotionally detached, and he has grown quite distant from his best friends by the time the campaign begins.

### Wigwel Wigglebottom

Boucan and Wigwel had a bit of a rocky start, as Wigwel found himself walking the plank of the S.S. Hithole after his rescue. However, Wigwel soon grew attached to Boucan, as he was the first person he'd laid eyes upon since he lost his memory. From that point forward, Wigwel acted as Boucan's right hand man, seconding everything he says, and rushing to his side to avidly defend him in any conflict. When Quincy threw a bowl of gruel at Boucan due to annoyance, Wigwel immediately attempted (and failed) to throw one back at Quincy. Wigwel was also quick to share a bunk with Boucan in the group's cabin during the first night of the challenge (in a middle school boys first sleepover kind of way).

Wigwel is the one person Boucan knew when he was teleported to the Squid Game challenge. Boucan appreciates Wigwel's loyalty, and is often found joking around with him. The two often make nonsense conversations that the rest of the party get tired of quickly.

### Michael Change

Michael and Boucan have a very complicated relationship. Whilst initially they started off very friendly, making nonsense jokes such as calling eachother Michael Change, this quickly derailed with Michael's betrayal of Boucan. Michael's betrayal is likely a sign of bipolar disorder, but Boucan saw it as Michael secretly being evil. However, after Michaels head injury, Boucan held out hope for the chance that Michael's personality had changed as a result of the head trauma. Despite these complications, the two have very similar mannerisms and senses of humor, and often get along quite nicely.

### Quincy Aaqmico

Quincy and Boucan have a very strained relationship. Whilst Boucan doesn't mind Quincy, only calling him an edgy loner on occasion, Quincy finds Boucan and his rambling sessions insufferable. Quincy often threatens to attack Boucan if he doesn't shut up (usually to no avail). Still, Boucan and Quincy must suffer through eachother's company in order to win Sir Beastmaster's competition.

### Douglas McStonewall

Douglas, despite being a relatively sensible member of the party in comparison to Boucan and Wigwel, often finds amusement in Boucan's constant ramblings, and often adds to them in funny ways. Because of this, Boucan usually enjoys Douglas's company. However, when Boucan acts recklessly and threatens the wellbeing of the party, Douglas is quick to put his foot down.

### Fumis

While Fumis is usually in his own distracted bubble, he often finds Boucan to be irritating, and is easily frustrated by his ramblings. Boucan often finds Fumis's lack of overall awareness to be quite funny, and therefore enjoys his company.
