Monsters

Monsters are the dominant group of beings in the **world** of Monster Roller. Some monsters can be friendly, but other monsters are wild. Most of them can talk to humans, while others speak only their language. They each have unique skills and abilities to protect them in the wild. As they grow, monsters may also **evolve.**

Monsters may agree to form partnerships with humans in the interests of protecting the peace -- such monsters are part of the Roller organization that seeks to rebuild the world. Monsters also have longstanding feuds with other monster species, like the battles between Ottileries and Mortoxes.

### Types

Each monster has an **element type** and a **role**. Types determine strengths and weaknesses, while roles determine the kind of abilities they have.

#### Blue-Type

Strong against red-types, weak against green-types. Most blue-types correspond to water monsters.

#### Red-Type

Strong against green-types, weak against water-types. Most red-types live in volcanoes or tropical zones.

#### Green-Type

Tanya Erzen

### Prisoners Are College Students

Dr. Erzen believes that prison should be a place of departure and beginning. She passes her passion for education to those she encounters and instills a desire to apply learning to success. From TEDx Washington Corrections Center for Women.

{{Quote|I asked them to define what citizenship meant to them. One woman said, "It means having a voice or a say in what goes on in your country or where you live." But, the women in the prison had very little say in what went on in the prison where they currently lived. And, even when they got out they could be barred from voting or housing if they had a felony conviction."

Chung Kao

Chung Kao is incarcerated at San Quentin State Prison. He is a student and proponent of mindfulness in prison. At a TEDx event at San Quentin he talked on "Finding My Center in Prison"

Chung Kao writes: "Chung Kao has been incarcerated for 23 years for second-degree murder. He has a BA in Economics and was a business school grad student when he committed his crime. Suddenly caught in the brutal reality of prison life, with no hope for the future, Kao quickly learned to reciprocate violence and aggression. This would lead to his getting swept up in the malevolence of prison life.

Grieving for the loss of his father in 2001 would give Kao time to reflect. He realized that his preoccupation with being perceived as masculine had stunted his inner growth and caused him to regress. He then began to meditate and taught himself tai chi, which he practices along with zazen and yoga. Through meditation he is able to ground himself and find inner peace, realizing that the solutions to personal and interpersonal issues are always within, not outside, himself."
Ron Self

Bottle of Whiskey

The first time that this bottle of whiskey first appears was in Pirates of TF2! Part 7 in the scene where Cap'n Demo and Pirate Sniper share a drink of this whiskey bottle. They are clearly enjoying it!

Later, in the following episodes, in Part 9, after Pirate Sniper betrayed Cap'n Demo by stealing his ship, he finds the same bottle on the island, Demo happily drinks it, still enjoying it, even if alone.

Later in the episode, after Sgt. Will thought he was the winner of the sword fight, Cap'n Demo, with all his hope on defeating his enemy, stabbed Will in the chest with the bottle, "killing him"!

Shortly after Part 9, after defeating Will and after discovering Captain Adrian and Private Dennis located Cap'n Demo's location, Demo passes out while being hit in the head by a bottle. (That looks like the same).

This bottle of whiskey (for now), is not seen again in the series. But might come back in later episodes.

TRIVIA:

* In an unreleased Remake of Part 9 by Luckando (Luca8494), the same scene happens but with some big changes, like the camera movements and directions. Cap'n Demo stabbing Sergeant Will with his bottle is also there in the Remake.

Here's some screenshots about the scene:
Red Sniper

**NOTE!!! (This is the OLD VERSION of Pirates of TF2!)**

* **This Red Sniper only appeared in the Teaser for Pirates of TF2!,as the one of the crew member of Red Crew.**
* **During the battle between Black Crew and Red Crew,Captain Pyro "invited" his two members (Engineer and Sniper),to find a way to "defeat" Black Crew.**
* **But as the cannons perforate inside Red Crew's ship,one of the cannons hit this Sniper and suddently he dies!**
* **By that time,his corpse sank with the rest of the ship!**
The Doll

* **This doll only appeared in Pirates of TF2! Part 4, as the doll of Black Zombie Scout.**
* **While searching in Black Zombie Scout's body,Cap'n Demo found this doll. It is unknow how he reacted,but we can assume he doesn't really care,and so he dropped it on the ground!**
* **It is unknow how Black Scout found this doll or how he got it,expect that he probably loved it!**

**TRIVIA:**

* The Model of the doll is from The Walking Dead: the game!
Sgt. Will's Life Story

Sgt. Will (or Sergeant Will), real name "Will William", was a privateer during the Golden Age of Piracy, around 1770's. He is the older brother of Captain Pyro (main enemy of Cap'n Demo), he followed and tried to kill Demo during the whole series, until he gets killed.

His first appearance was in Pirates of TF2! Part 6 at the very end of the video. He was travelling on his longboat (that looks like a viching boat), as he reaches the island to find Cap'n Demo and kill him.

Again, in Part 7, we see Will sitting on a wooden chair, waiting for something or someone. The old sailor comes close to Sgt. Will as he says to him that his brother (Captain Pyro) was killed. After this reveal, he throws the chair onto the ship, as he starts screaming for what he has learned.

Later in the same episode, Will finds Cap'n Demo ready to kill him on his,this time, pirate ship, saying "You ended my brother...now I will END YOU!"

He starts hitting Demo in the face as an act for revenge, until Pirate Sniper fires a shot of his gun, "killing" Will.

In Part 8, we can see Sergeant Will rising from the water, revealing that is actually still alive! But Pirate Sniper fires another shot of his pistol, but this time really killing him. Seconds later, the body was thrown on an abandoned boat, leaving him there. But at the very end of Part 8, Will gets up one last time and searchs revenge one more time.

In Part 9, Will is stalking Demo with his sniper rifle (storical error), while Cap'n Demo was distracted, Will fires at him, but missing him. Demo realizes that the one that tried to shoot him was indeed Will! So they decided to Sword Fight on eachother.

As the fight continues, Demo had a brilliant idea, grabbing the bottle of whiskey that he drank in the same episode, and hitting Will with his own bottle, killing him (he actually died now).

After the fight, Demo spotted Private Dennis and Captain Adrian on their ship!

Short time later, in Part 10,Cap'n Demo gets hit by a bottle to the head,passing out. As Dennis and Adrian takes Demo on their ship and will abandon him on an island, the body of Sgt. Will is left on their ship.

In Part 11, as everyone thought he was dead for sure, he returns one more time, ready to kill not only Demo, but Adrian, Dennis and his whole crew.

The crew seems to be the winner of this Naval Battle, as Demo prepare some kind of "grenade launcher", he fires at Will blowing him up! Hope he is dead for now on.

His last appearance was in Part 12,too, but it was just a "prequel" of Part 11, with same story, but different scenes.

For now, Sgt. Will will not appear in the series. (for now). But he might return in future episodes.
Cap'n Demo's flintlock pistol

* **This Flintlock pistol appears for the first time in Pirates of TF2! Part 10, hanging from an hanged skeleton.**
* **As Cap'n Demo's trying to reach for the pistol, he falls to the ground.**
* **But as Demo fell, the pistol drops and hits him.**
* **With all the joy,Demo starts to dance like crazy,'cause he got the pistol.**
* **Much later, in Part 11, Demo sees a redcoat, so he aim with the flintlock and shot him!**
* **Later always in Part 11,Demo spotted ANOTHER redcoat, and fired to him,too.**

**TRIVIA:**

* Like many flintlock pistol shoot only one shot before being reloaded, this pistol shoot even 2 shots at the time.
Cap'n Adrian's musket

This musket first appearance was in Pirates of TF2! Part 12 as Captain Adrian personal weapon.

While Sgt. Will was attacking Dennis,Adrian and Demo's ship, in a moment of terror, Adrian points the musket at Sergeant Will and shoots him without hesitation!

As the wound caused by the musket hurts Will, he drops his sword on the ground of the ship, Cap'n Demo preparares some kind of "grenade launcher" and fires the weapon's cannon onto Will, blowing him up!

As his rests fall in the water, the crew celebrate their victory after defeating their enemy.

We don't know if in the following episodes of the series this musket will appear again or not. But for what we know, it isn't going to happen. For now.
