Barney is a pirate on Hunter Ocean. He is a fleet officer in the crew The Eternal Hydrae, and is a member of the flag Echidna's Children.

Biography

Barney's pirate life began on November 5, 2007. After briefly joining the crew Sexaliciousness, he was recruited by The War Falcons in mid-November. It was with The War Falcons that he really learned the ropes of piracy, achieving Legendary standing on bilge, sails, and dnav, and even reaching Ultimate in carpentry. His hard work did not go unnoticed as he progressed through the ranks until he reached Senior Officer in April, 2008.

Barney remained there until October 1, 2008, when he finally made a long anticipated move to The Eternal Hydrae in order to spend more time with his in-game and real life wife, Catkinn. Alyhs, Eternal Hydrae's captain, had been avidly (and good-naturedly) working on Barney for quite some time, and he was happily welcomed with the rank of Fleet Officer.

Although he has been somewhat scarce around Hunter ocean of late, Barney can most often be found laboring in a shipwrightery stall, spamming the inns about the latest zombie fray, or carping on the latest flotilla hunt. Having already finished memorizing the Orion Archipelago & the Pleiades Archipelago), he would like to finish the Ursa Archipelago & the Horse Head Archipelago then move on to the northern arches. In between all that, Barney also enjoys helping Catkinn, furnish their townhouse on Aimuari Island.
