Camden

*"You guys ever watch Chalkzone?"*

- *Camden to Pirate King, 2700 AMS*

**Camden** was a Grugandan artist, cabin boy, pirate, journalist, and trove player who, at the end of the 6th Age, fought against Xanos as part of the Vibe Gang. Recruited for a life at sea at a very young age, Camden helped the Pirate King create a new ship by drawing it using his chalk zone powers. Impressed by his skills, Camden would become the Pirate King's closest friend, and the two would go on many adventures together. Later, he would enter a relationship with Gale Graceigan, though the two would break up due to Gale being a lesbian the whole time. Pirate King, Gale, and Camden would all reunite many years later, for what would be the last time.

## Early Life

Born in Howepous, Gruganda, Camden was an interesting kid. As Howepous was a major wheat farming town and gaming center, most expected him to either carry on the path of his father as a farmer, or at the very least go into competitive Fortnite. Camden was an artist at heart, however, and found out quite early on that he could bring the things he drew to life using the power of the chalk zone. After a short time playing minecraft and hanging out on the Dixie Soccer team, he struck out on his own, curious about his abilities and place in the world.

Making his way to the sea near Yongyea Port, his quest would seemingly take a turn for the worst, and he would be kidnapped by pirates. Aboard the ship of the legendary Dread Pirate Roberts, Camden was attached to a wheel and spun around for fun. This might have been it for him, had a rival group of pirates not attacked the ship, freeing Camden in the process. Aboard the other ship, he met the Pirate King, and, grateful for the rescue, used his powers of drawing to create a new ship for the group. He would server as the crew's artist and cabin boy for years, and would become close friends with the pirate king, who encouraged his artistic pursuits, becoming an older brother figure to the young boy.

## Christmas

On the 53rd of Crompton or whatever I said it was in the video, the pirate king's crew would come ashore to celebrate the holidays. The Pirate King slept in too long, and accidentally missed Christmas. When he awoke, he scrambled to make things right, and gave presents to several of his crew-mates, also killing the traitorous Parrot in the process. Camden received a book of Bone comics, and was treated to Pirate King's predictions of the war to come with the Lynch King.

## Torture

Camden, however, would not fight in this war. In the weeks leading up to the final battle of the South, he was kidnapped by a group of lynch knights, and tortured for information regarding the Pirate King's allegiance. Refusing to sell out his friend, he had his throat ripped out, and was left for dead. Pirate King, however, sensed Camden's location in a dream, and came to rescue to the dying lad. While alive, he was now mute, and his drawing hand had been severely injured. Depressed, he would part ways with the Pirate King, and seek a new life for himself.

## Time in Richmond

As the world began to end, and society began to fall, Camden found himself working as a journalist in Richmond, where he met Gale Graceigan. Both desperate for a relationship and horribly depressed, the two began to date, and went on many adventures together, starting a TV show with Camden as the cameraman. It was around this time that Camden evolved from twink form into hunk form, and Gale began to realize that she was only into Camden when he was small and cute, and that she was, in fact, super gay. This all came to a head in Shurima, where, as part of an attempt to blend in with the local culture, they had to pass as a gay couple. Camden refused to dress as a girl, and the frustrated Gale had to wear a male-looking protective skin layer. After an argument about Pizza Rolls, they finally separated, and Camden went back to work with Pirate King, who now had a funny robot friend as well.

## 6th Age

While alone, Pirate King had some business in Stormalong, where he lost his ship. Now land pirates, Camden and PK raided abandoned towns in search of supplies. One day, while at the Gurgandan Archives near Ringed City, they crossed paths with a mysterious figure wearing a mask, and barely survived. As they escaped into the hills, they found themselves near an old GRUF base, and met the illusive Khada Jhin. Working for the Followers of the Apocalypse and Mr. Tow, Jhin recruited them to help stop a coming evil. To show he could be trusted, Jhin used his powers to cure Camden's throat and hand injury. Now healed, Camden went off to help save the world. Fortnite.
