Admiral Balderdash is the titular character of this story! He's an old, accomplished, naval man who sails across the seas in the name of adventure. He's a bit of a blowhard, always willing to run headfirst into danger without thinking of the consequences at first. Balderdash should be beaming with enthusiasm and fun! He loves what he does, he loves looking for treasure, he loves killing sea monsters! He always speaks his mind, even though it may not be appropriate to the situation, but it's always funny!
Do
you know what I see in you? I see a fire for adventure! It's the same
flame that burns deep within my bosom! Only mine is much better and
more handsome!A
fine philosophy! If
you ask me, I’d say the world has enough riff-raff to go around. What
with pirates, sea monsters, socialism. The
least we can offer is the promise of doing right by others. And
perhaps, in response they will do right by us!13
shillings, my CabooseShute! Seems
these days if you kill a sea serpent, the best people can give is a
pat on the trousers!
Pendleton Magpie Bradshaw "Penny", is a young boy that was kidnapped by pirates at an early age. He was kept as a prisoner on Captain Blood's ship, until one night he made an escape by leaping overboard in a barrel. He then met Admiral Balderdash, who agreed to take him under his wing, and show him the way of an adventurer!
Aye aye, Admiral! Let's set out for adventure!
"
They
were going to kill me too, But Captain Blood insisted on keeping me
alive.
“We
could always use someone to mop the floors,” he said.
“Someone
to peel our potatoes.”Mr.
Fishburg..If
I don't do something, Ms. Emily will die.With
the Admiral gone, I'm the only person she has left who can help her.I'll
do whatever I can, no matter how dangerous if it means saving her
life.
Captain Blood is the main antagonist to this first season of Admiral Balderdash. Originally the captor of Penny, Blood now holds the reputation of being the deadliest and most feared pirate of the seven seas. After hearing that Penny has taken shelter with Balderdash, Captain Blood vows to hunt down the Balderdash's, and steal back Penny as a slave.
They're
here somewhere!Hiding
away in the deepest, darkest crevice of this marsh.And
we will not rest until we find themListen, boy!
What's
important is that any son of a bitch that has a taste of this venom
is getting a one-way ticket to Davy Jone's locker! Understand?So,
here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna take back our kid, and
then I'm going to murder everyone on this ship.
Emily Balderdash is the twin sister of Admiral Balderdash (Eustace). She's an accomplished naval officer, who becomes involved with her brother's adventures due to her expertise in demolition! Emily is the kind of person who would throw the first punch in a bar fight. She's very committed and bold about fulfilling her duties. She's brave! She can be seen as the voice of reason though, always bringing her older brother back to Earth and encourages the group to "think reasonably."
Enough.
Tell me what is it that
brings you here, Eustace.And be quick about it.
Time is money.So
go out and kill this creature in the name of “adventure” or
whatever excuse you're telling yourself.But
you're not fooling anyone. And I'm not going.My
name is Emily Balderdash, and if you value your lives, then you and
your men will get back onto your ship and sail as far away from us as
you can.
In order to finance his expedition, Balderdash and Penny venture out to sea to capture a Golden Scaled Sea Dragon. Unfortunately, after diving under the ocean, Balderdash comes across the queen of the Sea Sirens, Queen Gillian.
In my native tongue, am I
known as **Actor, feel free to make a weird shrilling sound here. Have fun***But you may call me Queen
Gillian of the sea sirens.What can I call you?
Oh, Admiral you're not the
first man to come looking to hurt my dragon, and you won't be the
last.Men think they can just
waltz in here, and steal his scales.They just follow the
light, and the next thing you know they end up in my clutches.You have a very handsome
face, Balderdash!Why don't you come a
little closer so I may have a better view of it?
Murk Fishburg is an amphibian like, Lovecraftian, fish-person who takes the Balderdash crew in after they get lost at sea. Murk is the real comic relief in this story! Though he looks like a fish, he speaks with an everyday, nervous way of speaking! He's incredibly domestic for not even being human! His voice should sound something similarly goofy to Ned Flander's neighborly way of speaking!
Look,
I'm sure sorry I scared you.Just
thought I'd come out and introduce myself.My
name's Murk! Murk Fishburne!What
can I call you?Well,
Mr. Balderdash it's certainly nice to meet ya!You
must not be from around here. No one I know stays outside this close
to nighttime!Small-Fry,
I hate to tell you this. But the Red Marsh has one of the driest
climates in the world!I
mean, it is hotter than the devil' B-hole out there!
