~Tod Lock - Lampwick~

Name: Lampwick
Other Names: Tigger, Sandy Plankton
Real Name: Tod Lock
Age: 27
Occupation: Scam Artist

Appearance - Thirteen Years Ago (Age fourteen):



Appearance - Today (Age Twenty-Seven):



Personality Traits:

As a child, Lampwick, or Lock as he was known as, was a wild and reckless thing, never fully thinking things through and simply taking him where the enforced wind blew. He loved being large and in charge, and got upset when others insulted him or took the lead from him. However, he went along with others' ideas if he couldn't come up with anything himself. By far, Lock was the most violent and malicious of the group, making him the most dangerous of the three.

As a teenage boy, the newly reformed Lampwick, in terms of personality, was a total delinquent. He fully enjoyed the events in Pleasure Island and gladly took part of all of it, declaring himself a leader of a band of troubled boys. He was respectful towards Pinocchio, acting as his friend but to anyone else, rather disrespectful. He laughed at all forms of authority, preferring to engage in more crooked activities like drinking and vandalizing even when Pinocchio tried (at first) to tell him that it was wrong. He was considered a jock in his years at Pleasure Island, learning the game of pool quickly but more than that, how to swindle. From this, Lampwick learned how to become a smooth-talker to get what he wanted instead of using brute force, black-mail and trickery like Oogie Boogie taught him, though he still held onto those methods depending on any given situation.

There seemed to be a slight shift in character, however, when Lampwick and Pinocchio were turned into donkeys and boarded onto a cargo ship. When Lampwick saw that Pinocchio had jumped (for reasons unknown to him) Lampwick jumped after him - perhaps an act of love towards his friend or perhaps something selfless as Pinocchio finding a way out and Lampwick wanting to take the credit for it. Little is known about Lampwick's motivation, but the boys were indeed separated and Lampwick never saw his friend again... and became a ghost to Fairy Tale Land.

However, there have been rumors of an older, cold-hearted, cynical male with flaming red hair that continues to look for the puppet, but no one has heard the name Lampwick for many, many years. It is assumed that like he did with Lock, Lampwick shed himself from the identity and created a new one. To become a new man.

Current Lampwick

Lampwick does whatever his greed, hatred, and lust for destruction drive him to do. He is hot-tempered, vicious, arbitrarily violent, and unpredictable. If he is simply out for whatever he can get, he is ruthless and brutal. Thankfully, his plans are haphazard, and any groups he joins or forms are poorly organized. Typically, Lampwick can be made to work together with others only by force, striving for leadership and aiming to become the true leader by toppling or assassinating him. Lampwick is sometimes called demonic (going back to his 'little devil' roots in Halloween Town) because demons are the epitome of chaotic evil. Lampwick is notorious for combining his self-interest and want for pure freedom. However, he also represents the destruction not only of beauty and life but also of the order on which beauty and life depend on.

Skills:

Lampwick is a smooth-talking, persuasive individual that could sell a man his own tie and reap the benefits of his profits. Whist lying, he is very believable in everything he talks about and his acting skills, honed through his years at Pleasure Island, are nearly unmatched to anyone he has ever had to encounter. He is able to take a group of chaotic, weak people and turn them into the perfect little 'doers', spreading chaos around for Lampwick to enjoy as he sits back and watches.

Aside from his hard-learned gift of a silver tongue, Lampwick is also very athletic though his stamina is low from all the smoking, drinking and drugs he does. He is quick on his feet, can jump over high obstacles and is a natural learner when it comes to playing sports. Though, he prefers easy-to-rig games such as pool or darts than the more physically demanding ones.

Biography (Before Earth):

Unbeknownst to even Lampwick himself, Lock, as he was so named as a child, was born on Earth into a very negligent family. As fate had it one afternoon, Lock, at the age of three, wandered out on his own while the family was on a camping trip and came to a clearing where he found trees. Trees with doors. Still very small and unable to understand the obscurity of what he was seeing, Lock picked a door at random and fell through the hollow of the tree... landing him in Halloween Town.

Found by Jack Skellington, Lock was placed into Halloween Town's orphanage where Lock quickly formed a tight bond between two other children just a little younger than him. Lock, Shock and Barrel quickly became fast friends which was the beginning of Halloween Town's problems.

Assuming the leader position, Lock devised a plan to leave the orphanage when he was only four years old, having Shock and Barrel do his dirty work while he took credit for the results. Now on their own, they quickly realized that the real-world, or at least, Halloween Town, was a lot different than they had expected. Shock and Barrel were ready to go back to the orphanage where they could be taken care of, but Lock stood firm and refused to let them go back. It seemed as though the trio would finally come to an impasse, splitting them up when Oogie Boogie snatched them up for his own selfish use. Thus, the terrible trio was formed and given masks to showcase their 'inner-selves.'

For the next two years, Lock, Shock and Barrel did Oogie Boogie's bidding though they were given free range themselves to do as they pleased. The freedom was exhilarating, and while still being taken care of, the young children became hardened, cynical, and full of mischief towards the other citizens of Halloween Town, reveling in giving others a hard time. Their reputation spread. They made many enemies. But no one wanted to revile against a handful of children in masks who simply 'didn't know any better' which made them the perfect weapons for Oogie Boogie.

Then, one day, Shock and Barrel went missing. Not even Oogie Boogie knew where they went, which created a terrible sense of paranoia within Lock. He hadn't ever had to be on his own before, he always had (what he called) friends there to be by his side no matter what sort of situation they got in. Lock even went to the Mayor and Jack Skellington, but no one seemed to know where Shock and Barrel had gone. So Lock ventured out, determined to find his friends which led him to the circle of tree doors. He examined them carefully, finding one that stuck out to him in a peculiar way (the door which lead to the very land he had been born into) but Lock pushed forward, finding a single tree far away that held a single door. Following his gut, Lock opened the door and fell through the tree hollow which then took him to a land unlike any other. Fairy Tale Land.

Before Lock even knew what was happening, a wagon filled to the brim with laughing and playing children caught his attention - a sign on the side reading "Pleasure Island" catching his attention (more the picture than the words he couldn't read) and knew that if Shock and Barrel were in this land, that's where they would end up. He jumped onto the wagon, keeping his mask on and began a journey that would forever change his life.

At first, Lock was all business and no play. He spent every moment he had looking for Shock and Barrel but as the days turned into weeks, and the weeks into months, and the months into years, Lock slowly began to adapt to the new lifestyle of pleasure island. He had even created his own band of followers to do just what Shock and Barrel had done for him, and with that he one day realized, he no longer needed them. Upon the realization, Lock shed his devil-faced mask and tossed it to the side with indifference, for here he would start a new life... as a new person. Lock was dead. And Lampwick the Trickster was born.

Over the course of another few years, Lampwick came across a wooden boy, just as real as the freckles on Lampwick's face. The boy was innocent, naive, the perfect type of boy he could use to turn into what he wanted him to be in his band of misbehaved boys. Lampwick spent a lot of time with Pinocchio, showing him just how great Pleasure Island could be. That is, until a new ride came to their little haven and Lampwick, being the first to try it out, had another life-changing event when on the ride found himself no longer to be a fourteen-year-old boy, but a donkey.

Lampwick never saw Pinocchio after that, though when he jumped the ship after his wooden-puppet-turned-donkey friend, the curse of the donkey wore off and he was washed ashore. Once more, Lampwick sought himself out on a quest; to find Pinocchio who was beginning to get under Lampwick's skin again, teaching him what having a true friend really meant.

Now, even years later, it can only be assumed that Lampwick is still looking for his puppet friend, but no one has seen him or even heard the name Lampwick used in almost five years.

Biography (Life On Earth):

Lampwick was born on Earth, though he has no memory of it and doesn't particularly know of it's existence.

Other:

Lampwick likes to dress up in flashy, colorful suits (stolen) and almost always has a cigar in his mouth.

~Pirate Fairy – Zarina Alteri~

Name: Zarina Alteri.
Other Names: The Pirate Fairy, Captain Z.
Age: 149 (physically mid-twenties).
Occupation: Pirate, Smuggler.

Appearance - Thirteen Years Ago (Age One Hundred and Thirty-Six):
Too Much Pixie Dust!



Appearance - Today (Age One Hundred and Forty-Nine):



Personality Traits: Free-spirited, brave and bold, Zarina possesses an outspoken, 'all-out' personality that can be both attractive and overpowering. Many who first meet her find themselves either loving her fiery demeanor or hating her with nothing in-between. She acts with her conscience, oftentimes letting her heart guide her instead of her head. Because of this she is kind and benevolent, believing in doing the right thing. Yet her free-spirit does also makes her disdainful of laws and regulations as she believes such concepts restrict her freedom.

Zarina hates seeing people use intimidation or extortion to get what they want, even more so than when she herself is subject to such methods. She knows how to handle herself in these situations but seeing another person being threatened lights a blazing fire inside her that is nearly unquenchable.

Zarina keeps her own moral compass to guide her life by. This compass, while good, may not agree with society's views as society has no place for a free-spirited woman like her.

Curious by nature with an adventurer's spirit, Zarina has a tendency of going her own way, which usually involves straying off 'the path'. This tends to land her in a mess of trouble more likely than not, but Zarina's high spirits and an almost uncanny amount of luck allow her to wriggle her way out of almost any predicament.

Zarina never takes anything at face-value, always having to find the answer on her own. Likewise she's incredibly stubborn when it comes to taking advice from others, preferring to drown them out or simply forget anything told to her in favor of adhering to her personal beliefs to reach a conclusion, no matter who it is who's trying to help her.

Despite her perky, bubbly nature, Zarina is prone to emotional lows at very rare times, during which she spends her time in the local tavern drinking her sorrows away but never allows herself to get intoxicated enough to impair her judgement too greatly, simply taking the ambiance of those around her to give her a place and time to think. On the other hand, in her usual fun-loving mood, Zarina does have a penchant towards challenging fellow sailors to a variety of drinking games, and prides herself at being the center of attention amidst her fellow drunks.

Skills: Working as a pirate and smuggler for many years, Zarina has developed a certain set of skills that make her a natural at her job. She possesses a sharp wit and acute resourcefulness that only come from an ample amount of experience, making her prepared for nearly any situation that should come up. Sexy and attractive with a rocking body, Zarina has no qualms against using her body as a weapon in itself, though she hardly reaches this point.

She possesses a certain cunning about her that can make her quite dangerous should the need call for it, using her looks, words and street smarts to her advantage when it comes to manipulation.

Yet behind her exterior of a simple smuggling adventurer is also a skilled warrior. Zarina is highly trained in the use of short, quick blades and throwing stars in combat, using her lithe frame and inherent quickness to her advantage.

Branching off of this, Zarina is also quite skilled in the art of stealth and concealment, able to hide almost anywhere she pleases using her resourceful, quick mind and coordinated movement.

But Zarina is still a pirate captain and as such possesses a high amount of skill when it comes to sailing ships, able to pull quick maneuvers and sharp turns with relative ease. Her explorer's instinct and natural curiosity also make her a skilled survivor and a quick learner, her years spent at sea have granted her a diversity in methods when it comes to all of her skills; whether it be a better way to hold a dagger, a better way to tie a knot, or a better way to hunt for food in the wild.

Where Zarina's natural curiosity really shines is her ability to work with and invent new things. Gifted with the mind and hands of an inventor, Zarina spent much of her life as a fairy working on creating new things to make life better in Pixie Hollow.

Biography (Before Earth):
Born from the very first laugh of a newborn baby, Zarina opened up her eyes for the first time to find that she had been placed into a wonderfully enchanted world called Neverland. She was given a name and a job almost immediately and thrust into a small group of fairies who were just like her in skill-set. It was this small group of fairies that became her immediate family and helped her to learn all that there was to learn about Neverland and what it was that they did to help the flow of life on this land. For many, many years Zarina did her duty to the fairies, spending her time with her best friend Tinkerbell as they were both top-notch inventors. Between the two of them, they had come up with so many new and wonderful things, fairy life in Pixie Hollow flourished. The arrangement was simple. Zarina experimented, and Tinkerbell tinkered. However, one day when Zarina took her experimenting just a little too far, she was brandished an outcast.

Each fairy is given a limited amount of Pixie dust to help make their days just a bit easier with flight or other (smaller) means, but Zerina's curiosity got the better of her and began to horde her portion of Pixie dust until she had a collection large enough to begin experimenting. These experiments were both illegal and dangerous, as she tried to change the colors and powers within the magical dust. She pushed the danger aside, however, as she was on the brink of discovery, finding that when mixed, Pixie dust can change color and be infused with the power of a certain talent. For example, when a small amount of blue pixie dust and a purple feather is mixed, the pixie dust turns purple, representing the fast-flying talent. If pink flower petals are added instead, it turns pink and it represents the garden talent. Tinkerbell found out about these experiments, however and went to the higher authorities to deal with Zarina accordingly. The Blue Fairy, leader of all fairies, banished Zarina from her tinkering position and ordered her to live on the outskirts of Pixie Hollow within Neverland so that she could no longer put the other fairies in danger. Perplexed, but finding no way around it, Zarina did as she was told and left the safety of her home to explore the outside world.

Upon her explorations, Zarina met and saw a great majority of wonderful things. She met the Indians, the Lost Boys, and even the pirates that inhabited the area, all of which were off limits to the fairies as they were dangerous, but Zarina did not see any danger, only fun new friends and spent a great number of years playing and learning about them, adopting different traits and skills from each group. However, it was the pirates she became most interested in, and shortly began her own life at sea.

Having befriended some of the pirates beforehand, it wasn't at all difficult to have them accept her as one of their own. The pirate Captain's First Mate, James Hook, was a particular close friend of Zarina and was able to put in a good word to their captain, and Zarina was quickly made pirate (so long as she stayed life-size on deck). It was here that Zarina really started to learn. About navigation, about survival, about dueling and scheming and manipulating. About duels and drinking, tattoos and partying. She adored this life, there were no rules set down to follow so long as she did as James and their Captain said and did her daily chores, the rest was on her with what to do, and she didn't squander a single moment. She spent a great number of years as a pirate, traveling through and around each and every ocean, seeing the world and exploring all it had to give them. The world was her Pixie Hollow now, and she never had to look back. That is, until the position for the new captain came up.

Their former Captain overcame a sudden illness while traveling around El Dorado. They returned with great haste to Neverland (where they could never grow old) but they were too late. Naturally, James Hook should have stepped up to take place his place as Captain but the crew had other ideas, unsure if he would be a better captain that Zarina or not. So they went about it in a contest, both of them having to find ways to prove to the crew on who would make a better captain. It was done in good sport, as Zarina and James' friendship came first, and so they took the competition as a game... but Zarina really wanted to be captain. So bad enough, that she devised a plan to return to Pixie Hollow, steal their supply of Pixie dust, and revel in the spoils with her fellow friends. And that is exactly what Zarina did. She knew Pixie Hollow like the back of her hand despite having been gone for a great number of years, so stealing the dust was easy, and the fairies were none-the-wiser, having never seen Zarina since she had been banished.

Zarina's plan paid off in the end. The pirates loved the display of magic and what Zarina could do with it, and so she was promptly made captain and kept James Hook as her first mate, best friend, and eventually her lover. However, there was a jealousy in the air that Zarina was unaware of. As it turned out, James had wanted the pirate captain position just as bad, and had devised a plan of his own to get it. In what Zarina later found out, James had thrown the competition, knowing that Zarina's desperation would have taken her back to her home so that she could steal the fairy dust. Now with a seemingly endless supply on their ship, all James had to do was wait and strike at the precise moment.

After a number of years as Captain, Zarina had quite the reputation throughout the land for her modest band of Neverland pirates, as well as picking up a small friend during one of her voyages to The Bayou. A baby crocodile, she promptly named 'Baby' was added to the pirate clan, becoming a pet to all but most loyal to her 'Mother.' Finally, after a few more years experimenting with the dust, Zarina finally managed to do what James and the other pirates (who had been in on it the whole time) were waiting for, and granted their ship the ability to fly. Now, with no more use for Zarina (personal relationship feelings aside) James and the other pirates performed a mutiny, taking the remainder of the dust, the ship, all the treasure Zarina had led them to and left her to die on a small deserted island after James literally cut her wings from her body (to keep her from being able to follow them) and made himself the rightful captain. He took all that was now his and returned to a life at sea, leaving Zarina completely heart-broken and emotionally wounded. James didn't get away with it cleanly, however, as Baby had made a last stitch effort on her mother's behalf and ripped James' hand from his body with her sharp teeth and powerful jaws and turned it into a tasty snack after James had cut off Zarina's wings. Now alone, save for Baby, Zarina lay there on the beach, unwanting and unwilling to go on for the time being, letting the high tide sweep in to take her away.

Fate, however, was not done with Zarina, for the island she had been marooned on was near a small and mysterious town known to the public as The Bayou. It was here where the bokor, Dr. Facilier, typically called The Shadow Man practiced his art of voodoo and shadow magic. The Shadow Man's shadow minions spotted Zarina from her place on the island and returned to their 'master', notifying him of the presence of a fairy not far away.

Attending to the island in person, the Foul Doctor quickly found the unconscious, wing-less fairy and, deciding to seize this opportunity, collected the befallen fairy's wings and sent them back to his Emporium with his shadow minions while he attended to the fairy. Waking her up, Dr. Facilier promised Zarina that he could and would reattach her wings...if she worked for him for awhile.

For the last six years now, Zarina became The Shadow Man's smuggler, at first being placed in charge of incoming cargo, but eventually gaining enough trust and becoming a captain of her own ship once again, in charge of smuggling goods from the surrounding lands of Arendelle, Russia, Oz, El Dorado, Italy, Province and Maldonia back to The Bayou, becoming an invaluable member of The Shadow Man's business. She has yet to venture back to Neverland to exact her revenge on James Hook, but it's on her to-do list.

Biography (Life On Earth):
Zarina never made it to Earth and doesn't even know of it's existence.

Other: Zarina has a small assortment of tribal style tattoo's across her body, mainly limited to her ribs, back and thighs. Some of these tattoos are as follows:
Back of the neck and upper back
Hips
Left Ear
Left Ass Cheek
and various other designs in various areas across her body.
