Vulgarbeard

Vulgarbeard was known as Vulgarstar for about a month on the Midnight Ocean. His participation in a crew didn't start until Midnight though, when he was recruited to La Guistizia Implacible (LGI), of the flag Imperio, by Zenobia while jobbing for another crew. Vulgarbeard was impressed by the zeal of LGI's Captain, Parthanos, and felt he'd found a home. A week or two after joining the crew, Vulgarbeard had the honor of being promoted to Officer by Wooko, who warned Vulgarbeard that the sea was a harsh mistress that must be respected...then promptly planked him.

Vulgarbeard become one of LGI's most prolific pillagers, frequently announcing that he was setting sail over crew chat with the phrase, "Modest Haddock setting sail, alll aboooooooard." He was also an extensive donor to the crew and flag funds, supporting the goal of purchasing a shop at one of the Dread Ringers' auctions. Vulgarbeard eventually became a royal of Imperio, but was primarly active within the crew.

His activity within the flag at large began with the drive to stockpile supplies in anticipation of colonizing an island. Vulgarbeard coordinated Imperio's foraging efforts, organizing flagmates with foraging orientations to minimze intra-flag competition for foraged goods. Imperio had set its sights on Zeta initially, but refocused on Spring Island when it became clear that the Emerald archipelago would be colonized much sooner. Following the colonization of Spring, Vulgarbeard received his deed to a weavery, called La Tessitoria Implacible (The Unrelenting Weaver) after his crew.

When work responsibilities limited Parthanos' internet access, Vulgarbeard was asked to step in as interim Captain of La Guistizia Implacible and interim Monarch of Imperio. During this time he expanded the role of Aurum Coronarium (the palace on Spring) as a marketplace on Spring, liased with allies to apprise them of the temporary change in flag leadership, and attempted to organize flag goals so as to provide a mission to enrich his flagmates' game experience.

Unfortunately, differences regarding the manner in which the flag was run began to fester within the Imperio royalty and, after a lengthy and dramatic public discussion, the crew La Guistizia Implacible was expelled from Imperio. The flag known as Imperio was renamed to Avalon. Vulgarbeard began a new crew, called Plank Club, with many of the members from LGI. Vulgarbeard was honored by the majority vote of the members of Imperio to be named Monarch of Avalon.

Today, Vulgarbeard continues to serve as Monarch of Avalon, with the steadfast support of his crewmates and flagmates, to whom he is very grateful. Their dedication and innovation has helped Avalon to gain the record as the first flag to govern three islands (Guava, Meke, and Spring), to support Avalon's allies as they seek their fortune in the Midnight Ocean, and to continue in its mission to enrich the Y!PP gaming experience for all sailors.
