John Zippo Pathfinder (chicken lover) He was born into a loving and caring family. However, the good times ended very soon, when his parents died in a horrible bycicle accident - the parents' tandem crashed into the fence of a chicken barn and little John was thrown over it. Undiscovered by the rescue forces, he got adopted by the chickens and was raised as one of them. Raised as a strange-looking chicken, John joined the chicken army in the "Great Poultry Wars", where he gained the rank of a Platoon Leader of a chicken reconaissance platoon. Although he had done everything to become fully integrated into the chickens society, he felt that he still had not been fully accepted and one day he had to face a mutiny in his chicken platoon. While he was left alone behind enemy lines, he prayed to McNugget, the chicken deity, for help. McNugget appeared and answered his questions about how to become a real chicken: "Eat more Chicken!" the deity said and from that day on John roamed the land on his search for enemy chicken. Telemachus SokrateX Rhade (Smurfette, mental institution escapee) Growing up in a large family with seven sisters she quickly learned to adapt and at first opportunity she left for good. Having a real neck for cooking - especially her roasted chicken got her quite a reputation - she never found herself out of a job for long. Still none of this satiesfied her thirst for adventure until one day she stumbled upon an ad in a local paper "Sturdy adventurers can make a fortune at our first space-colony. Book your passage to Calypso now!" Seeing this as her great one-time opportunity very soon after that she landed in Port Atlantis on the planet Calypso where she soon met John, who preferred to be called Zippo, at a job at a car-factory in Hadesheim. Besides his strange affinity to chicken she found him to be quite a nice chap. He introduced her to the mining profession which she immediately fell in love with - the rest is history as they say. ManagJah Dex Oh (midget) When we first met i only heard a voice. It wasn't until after i looked way down i noticed there was someone actually standing there. Outraged he attacked me with his axe (or shortblade, it moved so damn fast) and nearly cut my leg off at the knee - fortunately he cooled down eventually - the beginning of a wonderful friendship. DO NOT EVER make midget-jokes in his presence, you will regret it! Marcus LuMa Lucius (religious nut) Every group needs a religious nut - well we have two now! He changes his beliefs more often than his undies - which isn't that often. Once fell in with Buddha, shaved his head, gained 45 pounds in two weeks and won 2nd place in a Buddha look-alike contest. He still goes on about the guy in first place who only got there by soliciting the judges. Can cite from Koran, Bible, Talmud, Dao-de-Dsching and a hundred other religious books we never even heard of. Maurice Rakuuz Kylex (the wild one) His life was sex, drugs and rock'n'roll until one day he suffered acute hearing loss at some "concert". Now it's only sex, drugs and hearing aid. Sweetens our boring afternoons with tales about his wild youth. Shadow Punisher Dark (the silent one) No one knows where he came from or anything else about him for that matter. One day he stood in front of our club house like a statue. On approach he didn't move. Hours later we offered him soc-membership because we thought it would be the right thing to do. He blinked. We took that as acceptance. He's one of us ever since. Gernot Speschl Kellner (the gone one) He suffered from beer deprevation ever since he set foot on Calypso. One day he tore off all his clothes and ran into the woods never to be seen again.
