Leave
your video games at home, and check your diapers at the door,
this is the Pirate Club! The most elite group of adventure seekers
the world has ever known!
Terrorizing all of Blackhawk Delta with their pirating antics,
the Pirate Club is a group of grade-schoolers intent on pilfering
all of the booty and territory from each and every one of their
rival gangs, sparing no one. From burying rare treasures under
Hangman’s Tree and adventure on the high seas, to showdowns
with rival clubs and tormenting Old Man Winter, the Pirate Club
does what Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn only dreamed of.
The
Pirate Club consists of four kids, each with their own quirks...
|
|
| |
| |
JOHN
This delusional leader of the Pirate Club is equal parts Blackbeard
and Tom Sawyer. John has high hopes and dreams of becoming a real
pirate of
the high seas and won’t let having been born
a few centuries too late get in his way. |
|
| BEARCLAW
The second in command of the Pirate Club, and adamantly insists
he is a real bear. He even eats raw salmon. Bearclaw acts as the
brute muscle of the Pirate Club. He’s equal parts Grizzly
bear and Huck Finn. |
|
|
| |
MIKE
The member of the club most grounded to reality, Mike is a highly
trained ninja whose overwhelming skepticism about all things pirate
is based partly in his lack of swimming ability. |
|
| BAT
She dishes the insults and pain better than anyone except maybe
Bearclaw (who harbors a secret crush on her.) Together, they are
the unstoppable
scourge of Sycamore Valley. |
|

|
But what good would having a Pirate Club be without the constant threat
of rival clubs overtaking all of that hard-won booty? Brace yourself and
behold the mysterious innerworkings of Blackhawk Delta’s other prominent
clubs... |
| |
THE BULLY CLUB
The chief rival of the Pirate Club is the Bully Club. Composed
primarily of athletes from the Brookside Lion’s after-school
sports program, they are dim-witted, overbearing, and full of
desire to throw things (and people) in a sports-like fashion.
Careful where you choose to attack, these guys are always wearing
a cup. |
|
| DIRTY-FACED
KIDS CLUB
Second only to Pirate Club in terms of
ruthlessness and intimidation, The Dirty Faced Kids are a hard
bunch to trust, as their loyalties can easily be bought and
sold with a mere frosted cupcake. But with no real parental
supervision in sight, these kids tend to be a wealth of resources
the Pirate Club can’t ignore. |
|
|
| |
THE COUNTRY CLUB CLUB
Partially due to their complete lack of thirst for adventure,
these are the most despised (and well-equipped) of the Pirate
Club's rivals. Worse than that,
is the fact that these kids can’t stand the idea of anyone
having more of anything than they do. this causes the rich little
club to stop at nothing to make sure any treasure the Pirate Club
encounters will
eventually fall into their own greedy little hands. |
|
| THE
SCIENCE CLUB
Has delusions of grandeur that outweigh their means for success.
And although they have no desire to be ruling club of the valley,
the Science Club has been humiliated too many times to let the
Pirate Club reign supreme! Their only set-back? The Science Club
has no chance of exacting their revenge...only a chance of more
humiliation and a deeper hatred of the Pirate Club. |
|
|
| |
THE NINJA CLUB
After losing their leader, Mike, to the Pirate Club at an initiation
gone wrong, these Ninjas will stop at
nothing to restore the honor taken from them on that fateful day.
Armed with their bare fists and a mysterious ninja garb, these reckless
warriors stop at nothing to prove their worth to a wholly unimpressed
former leader. |
|
|
THE HOPEFUL INDUCTEES
More than anything, these grade school rejects want to be members
of the Pirate Club...and the Pirate Club
in return, wants nothing to do with them...that is unless the Pirate
Club is in need of collecting taxes, brushing up on their combat
skills, or hankering for a wedgie victim. These kids put up with
it all, in the hopes that someday,
they too may be real Pirates. |
|
|
| There
are many more central players in the Pirate Club's world of suburban warfare.
Let’s take a look at a few more of their allies, as well as those
who get in their way. |
| |
PHIL
Never has an old man been in such constant regret of trying to
scare some pesky kids
off of his lawn by brandishing his hook hand as is Phil. Ever
since then, the Pirate Club has come back again and again, begging
Phil to regale them with tales of the high sea. The thing is,
Phil has never been to the sea. No, Phil is just a garbage man
living off workman’s comp after losing his hand in a freak
waste management accident. |
|
| PIRATE
PHIL AND MCENTEE
When the mood strikes, Phil will entertain the Club with outlandish
tales of an imaginary voyage on the high seas with his trusted
(albeit bumbling) first mate, McEntee. Sure, Phil puts on
a gruff exterior, but deep down, he loves the kids and admires
their zest for life. |
|

OFFICER
REILLY
Once a respected member of the Sycamore Valley Police Department,
Officer Reilly quickly found himself demoted after countless failed
attempts to catch the Pirate Club in the midst of their tomfoolery.
With dreams of one day being chief of police, and a grudge larger
than the Grand Canyon, Officer Reilly is determined to nab that
pesky Pirate Club and restore his good name. |
|
| OLD
MAN WINTER
In his youth he was the founder of ‘the Young Bucaneers’,
and found much treasure durring his many adventures. The Pirate
Club is always secretly looking for a way to get those treaures,
but little do they know that Old Man Winter has been their silent
observer since day one. He is waiting for the day in which the
secret location to the greatest of treasures can be bestowed to
the most worthy club in the valley. |
