Thespian
Thespian plays on the Midnight Ocean, she is a captain of Dramatis Personae and princess of the flag Raptus Regaliter. She owns a distillery, a shipyard and an iron monger on Park Island (Midnight), and manages Cyrius' Weavery on the same. She can also be found under the name Thes on Ice, Cobalt and Viridian, and Thespian on Hunter.
She has created some YPPedia search plug-ins, and is also a jockey for Shanty Raid-io. Her show, "I Said, 'That's My Favourite Song'", can be heard on Tuesdays from 9pm to 1am, and on Fridays from 11pm to 2am (all times Eastern). She also runs the 'Shanty Day Morning' cartoon loop, a non-live loop broadcast, from 8am to 3pm (gets interrupted for blockade coverage).
During the week preceding Jorvik XII, she interviewed a number of the major players involved in the blockade; Brontes, Whitefire, Jacktheblack, Cioj and Lizthegrey. Technical difficulties caused problems with Lizthegrey's interview, but the others can be found online in podcast form
She was the fifth person to achieve Ultimate status in Rumble on the Ice Ocean, less than 24 hours after introduction. She has created a number of video tutorials for beginning players.
