Captain Calvin "Cal" Corvina, Admiral of the Buccaneers

Male, mid to late 30s

Video Game: Plankwalker 3

In Plankwalker 3, the fictional pirate-themed fighting game series, the Buccaneer faction’s leader is Captain Calvin (“Cal”) Corvina, a man of mixed background: half-British and half-Spanish. He is a dashing and fearless sailor, adventurer, and pirate, as deadly with his fists as with cutlass or gun, determined to recover the great treasure that’s the game’ maguffin not to abuse its power but to destroy it once and for all so that no one can benefit from its mystical strength. 

Like a stereotypical pirate, inside the Plankwalker games he’s fond of rum, tobacco, gambling, carousing, and adventure, and all his lines are basically catch-phrases or combat dialogue.And while that is a part of his character, he’s not just some drunken, violent bad boy. Captain Corvina—“Cal” to his friends—also reads and writes poetry, sings (and not just sea shanties), and is as focused on romance as he is on treasure-hunting inside the game setting. He is sensual, surprisingly soft-spoken, and gentle, particularly towards women. Towards men he tends towards a breezy charm that is almost but not quite dude-bro in style. (He despises Ethan MacMaster, both for his attitude and how the latter speaks to others in the Velvet Room, particularly Puzzle Princess Patricia.)

Voice: Cal speaks like a VERY stereotypical pirate–he uses a Cockney or West Country British accent that’s gruff, deep, and very gravelly. (Think Pirates of the Caribbean-style British, maybe with a little bit of Spanish accent flair thrown in occasionally to reflect his mixed heritage.) But there’s also a softness that comes out when he speaks to certain characters, especially Puzzle Princess Patricia, who he considers a friend, and a melancholy note to his lines when appropriate.
