Fava

Fava was the winner of the Who wants to be Governor of Lima Contest (Cobalt), held by Avernus after he conquered. The contest sought plans to rule the island, the best of which was awarded governorship of Lima for three months during the summer of 2006. As special event characters she and her closest helpers have white names. Through the entire three months of the event governorship, no one discovered the identity of Fava's alter-ego, nor the main pirate of any of her helpers.

Originally a member of Hades' crew Death's Gate, Fava left with her bean helpers to form the Pod People after a supposed act of spying by one of Avernus' demons.

The Beans
Fava didn't run her events alone. She had a large cast of bean helpers, played by mates from Flocktarts, the Hunter Ocean crew of her alter-ego Polly.


 * Chilibean, played by Peanutswench, was Fava's right-hand bean for the entire event governorship and beyond. She assisted in both the planning and excecution of every event, acting as proof-reader, judge, navigator, sailor, scorekeeper, and whatever else was needed at the time.  She was by far the most visible of the bean helpers, confounding Cobalt rumblers by climbing into the top 10 of the Ultimate list during her time as an event character.


 * Jumpingbean was played by Lorry. Fava tapped her considerable experience as governor (of Nu Island on Midnight) to learn how to place buildings and properly utilize government buildings.  Jumpingbean also helped with many events, judging entries, donating prizes, and more.  (She was the only undefeated bean navigator, with only one tie, in Spill the Beans.)


 * Vanillabean, played by Squido, was mostly around during the early part of the governorship. Her presence on the docks helped spread the word that the beans had arrived on Lima.  She also acted as judge and navigator in various events.


 * Redbean, played by Smakma, acted as judge, sailor, navigator, and more.


 * Cacaobean, played by Synful, helped in several events. She occasionally served as a judge, loaned ships, and helped in other ways throughout the months of Fava's governorship.
