Biography
Although Crimsonator has been playing Puzzle Pirates under various pseudonyms since late 2007, he only settled with Crimsonator as his main pirate on the 14th of August, 2009, its name inspired by cheesy 80's films and the then recent release of the Crimson Ocean.
Crimsonator started his puzzling career by being drafted into Glimmer of Light by Frame, and alongside Captinthe, his friend from the world where the sun shines, he pillaged and plundered (albeit poorly) for a few years. At some point in 2010, Crimsonator decided to join his mates who have left Glimmer of Light and Ascalon in order to form The Fearless Rebels, but he chose not to play the game anymore afterwards.
His time in Knights of Saint George
In late 2010, Crimsonator returned to the game to join the Knights of Saint George in an effort to preserve the crew and the flag of Ascalon, but over the years, the crew fell into dormancy save for a small handful of members. Over the next few years, Crimsonator befriended Korte, and he spent his time talking to crewmates and chilling in his shack on Wensleydale doing anything but puzzling.
In early 2014, inspired by Korte's return to active puzzling, Crimsonator took up carpentry, and he worked towards only one goal: attaining a pig and naming it "Kosher", and having achieved his goal in March of that year, he grew disappointed with how he never got job invitations for sea monster hunts, which lead him to hold long-lasting grudges against many of the navigators of that scene.
Crimsonator inexplicably disappeared between April and late July of that year, only to return to actively playing Puzzle Pirates again for the first time in several years. Having spent hours upon hours on end carpentering in the navy and achieving the navy rank of Admiral, Crimsonator slowly but surely proved himself worthy of attending citadel runs, and in the meantime, he had also worked on improving his battle navigation skills.
After nearly four years, Korte finally deemed Crimsonator worthy of a promotion to officer in August of 2014, which incited him to purchase his first ships. On the 29th of August, having purchased his first sloop, the Circassian Beauty, his crewmates, Captinthe and Defrass, urged Crimsonator to embark on his first pillage that ultimately led to a PVP fight which he miraculously won.
Crimsonator then regularly ran pillages with the help of his crewmates with the purpose of improving his battle navigation skills, a puzzle which, although he enjoyed quite a bit, was intimidating to him initially. It was during this time that Knights of Saint George became active again due to the small, yet significant, influx of new members and officers to the crew.
Crimsonator was promoted to senior officer on the 16th of January, and he ran sea monster hunts with varying degrees of success in early 2015, but he found that he was able to port most of his Cursed Isle runs without much damage.
Owing to his general awesomeness, Philliphius deemed Crimsonator worthy of being conferred the title of Lord of Glorious Geeks on the 26th of February.
On the 21st of May 2015, Crimsonator left Knights of Saint George only to join the sister crew, Rocket Science, a few days later, where he served as senior officer for several months. There, he met Maycomb, with whom he founded the Beardless Mountaineers on the 5th of July 2015.
The Beardless Mountaineers
As captain of the Beardless Mountaineers, Crimsonator did very little in the way of expanding his crew. The Beardless Mountaineers peaked at 15 members, a fair number of whom were alts. Captinthe came to join the crew shortly after its inception, however, he logged on intermittently as he no longer had interest in the game, and Maycomb left the crew during a hiatus Crimsonator took in July of 2015. Crimsonator was able to reach out to an old friend of his from the game, Imas, and to convince him to return, where he served as senior officer of the crew.
In November of 2015, Crimsonator decided to leave Glorious Geeks and join Fear No Monsters at the behest of Bananazorro (née Lorrenazorro), where he was further harassed by Bananazorro and dragged to his sea monster hunts. Crimsonator was conferred the title of lord of Fear No Monsters a few days after his crew had joined the flag.
Crimsonator opted to stay in Fear No Monsters for a few months after Bananazorro's unfortunate ban, until he joined Keep the Peace in February 2016, where he stayed until the Beardless Mountaineers disbanded on the 18th of June 2016, after which Crimsonator took a short hiatus.
Meeting Ayara and Exios in Caustic Affliction, and Elysian Empire
Crimsonator returned to the game on the 20th of July of 2016 and joined Imas who, during Crimsonator's hiatus, had joined Caustic Affliction. There, he served as officer, and he met and befriended Ayara and Exios, who had decided to leave Caustic Affliction to create their own crew on the 8th of August, 2016.
Crimsonator chose to follow Ayara and Exios, and he served as fleet officer of the crew and prince of its flag, Eureka. Elysian Empire was never intended to be a large crew, and it evolved to an exclusive club for people Ayara was fond of, and pirates Crimsonator had a crush on. Crimsonator was able to convince Imas and, who served as a senior officer of Beardless Mountaineers, to join Elysian Empire.
Eventually, Exios retired from the game to explore uncharted eastern waters, and Ayara inexplicably disappeared, leaving Crimsonator to be the only active member of the crew for two months.
Ayara's return(s)
Ayara eventually reappeared in December 2016, which prompted Crimsonator to return from a planned hiatus.
It was during this time Karthika joined Elysian Empire, and Crimsonator started going on Cursed Isle runs with Jjc, Salvy, and Aramis.
What followed were a few months of brief activity, with Ayara going dormant and back again, and Crimsonator trying his luck at achieving #1 carpentry and foraging.
Crimsonator started spending less time on Puzzle Pirates, only logging on to carpent and forage every once in a while.
Crimsonator finally achieved the rank of #1 forager in May, and Ayara returned in the same month.
Obsidian
Crimsonator doesn't remember much of how he ended up on Obsidian, but he is almost certain that it involved copious amounts of rum.
He went on to found one of the first crews on the new ocean, later to be disbanded mere weeks after its inception, No Tea No Shade; the first RuPaul's Drag Race-inspired crew to ever hit the scene on Puzzle Pirates.
After Crimsonator disbanded No Tea No Shade, he joined his friends Salvy, Jcmorgan, Karthika, and Aramis in their new CI crew.
Crimsonator rarely partook in events and runs on Obsidian, nor did he puzzle, simply logging on to talk to his friends.
