THADE
--doesn't have a natural sense of what colors go well together and which ones clash, and also just really loves all colors, so he used to dress really gaudily, until people bullied him about it. now he just wears black and white.
--always looks 2 minutes away from dying. this is just how he looks normally.
LILLIAN
--i don't really have anything interesting to say about her lmao. like i love her, i love feral women, i like to draw her and put her in situations, but i don't really have any headcanons off the top of my head
RED MARY
--the crew calls her red
--smokes and has a gravelly smoker's voice (which was also probably caused by the smoke of all the fires she sets)
--her personality is a pain to develop, let me tell you. i keep feeling like she's too similar to my version of skin-taker (not being outright hateful and just killing bc she enjoys it and doesn't see it as wrong)
BOAR
--this was inspired by how the wiki used to say that the hogs crew's captain (who is possibly supposed to be the same guy as boar) was twice as tall as the other puppets. i headcanon him to be between 6'10" and 7' tall. maybe taller...
--a very wholesome guy. but don't mistake his kindness for weakness, and don't mistake his optimism for stupidity
--was a proper sailor before joining the crew. possibly a merchant sailor or a whaler. he's the most knowledgeable about nautical stuff.
SCHOT
--he got caught by the navy at some point in his past. the scars on his face are from the earl of wax's clawed torture glove. (my interp of him has 5 scars across the whole width of his face and not just his eyes)
--he was a high-ranking member of the red-handed jacks (green gregory's crew, and also the most feared pirate crew of the time), which is why earl came after him so hard. earl was also the one to target and kill his wife.
--he's blind in one eye (from earl torturing him), so when he shoots, he doesn't have to close one eye, so it seems as though he's just staring into the soul of whoever he's shooting
DR. MORT
--he doesn't have eyelids so he just constantly stares at people.
--he's immune to sleep deprivation because he used to have a very demanding career as both a head surgeon at candle cove's hospital and a main contributor in cc's medical academia. like he can sleep for 3 hours and feel well-rested.
--unsophisticated frenchman representation. he owns like 3 outfits total, smells musty 24/7, and is banned from the kitchen because one time he thought lemons and oranges were interchangeable in recipes
CONEA
--i have nothing really interesting to say about him tbh. i wish i was less bored by him, but he's just kinda... there.
--he has long luxurious hair and it makes him look like a male model.
TALAPIO
--i mentioned this before, but i hc her to have been just a normal (but weirdly big) spider before she got light magic. her previous owner was a light magician who gave her their powers on their deathbed.
--she's another one of those characters who i definitely think has potential but i'm weirdly not that invested in. i should think about her more. it's pretty interesting, to think what it would have been like to go from having a bug's intelligence to being smarter than any human...
BONUS! THE UNNAMED COOK
--her name is gwen and she's a no-bullshit old welsh lady
--that's it. i only think about her like, once a year.
