Biography

Castawayjoe was first mate of the crew Midnight Armada under the flag of the Boochin' Katfish for a time, but the crew eventually folded. Later, he decided to take a break from the game for about a year, but in early 2007 began playing again.

After jobbing for several crews, Castawayjoe decided to join the fledgling crew Tribute. The crew was less than a week old, but Castawayjoe was eager to help it succeed. He rose quickly through the ranks, becoming the crew's first officer, fleet officer, and senior officer. Not long before his final promotion, Castawayjoe finally saved up enough (with a small, repaid loan from Captain Baek) to get his first sloop, the Self-Centered Sprat.

Eventually, he rose to the rank of prince in the flag Incredible, and gained more ships, as well as many amazing friendships. Baek also resigned from the position of captain, and Castawayjoe took over. He became a manager at both Shannal's Shipbuilding Stall and Cldragonx's Weavery, and later, Isabellgrace's Shipbuilding stall, but these stalls eventually closed, and Castawayjoe determined that shoppekeeping was not for him.

In August of 2007, Tribute left Incredible to join the flag The Moonlight Marauders, where Castawayjoe became a prince.

Later, he left Tribute in the capable hands of Terciopelo, who merged it into The Corsair Raiders, and joined the crew Barnacle for Brains, his former flagmates.

When the flag Pandemonium was founded, Castawayjoe became a Lord.

At Frond II, Castawayjoe navigated a sloop (scoring two points before sinking), and XO'ed on a frig.

Later, he joined the flag Riot along with the rest of Barnacle for Brains.

Castawayjoe enjoys entering events, especially those involving writing. He has also participated in many in-game events, including several races, bake-offs, and scavenger hunts. He hopes one day to win or earn a familiar.

He has played in several ROMS games.

Castawayjoe enjoys participating in blockades and going on greeter duty, as well as browsing the forums. His favorite puzzles are Swordfighting, Shipwrightery, Carpentry, and Blacksmithing. Of these, he has ult trophies in all but carpentry.
