AKA: Gray, Kappy(Car Scene)

Age: 24, turning 25 (Jun.08.2000)

Position: Senior Ground Travel Guide, Car Scene (Nightlife), Captain Bones' Bosun/Deck Boss.

Nationality: American

Home: Brightmoor, Michigan

Education: GED

Returning Crew Member: Yay, 7th and final year

Experience: As a former street racer and "underground mechanic", Gray has connections and knowledge of both high end dealerships and organized street races in most Corsair Adventure-Adjacent cities. His proficiency in riding motorcycles with inexperienced passengers and leading experienced riders in tours makes it a popular option. He has first aid and survival/emergency training. All that thrown in with 15 years of boating experience and training from current and former members of the Coast Guard, Gray has his little corner of the program squared away.

Personal Statement: "The oldest of old hats, I'm here to do my job as usual for Mr. Bones and perform to the best of my ability. I look out for the greenies and Kori and anyone else that needs it. Is it weird to be filling out an older brother roll when I've only ever been the younger? Sure, but it hasn't stopped me these past few years. My goal upon fulfilling my final year of the program is to join the Corsair corporation, I've known it was going to be my career path since my second year in the program. I owe Mr. Bones as much as I do my brother and Bubbe Roseman, I'd be in prison without the three of them.

I swear to god though if we get another greenie that doesn't know how or care to clean up after themselves I'm crashin' out. 'Least a cell would stay tidy."

Extra:

• Font: Chopshop
• Has an older brother, Jason(FC: Ben Barnes), 10 years his senior that is a Commander in the Coast Guard, and was trained by Bones. Jason gave him the number to Mr. Bones that first got him into the program.
• Substitute personal driver for the Runnels.
• May or may not have a crush on Bones' daughter, Kori, who he's known since entering the program.
• Helps the local granny, Bubbe Roseman, back home who houses at-risk teens- like he used to be- so looking after a rowdy bunch is nothing new to him. He also sends money home to her when he can afford to and lives there in the off season.

AKA: Zen, Skyguy

Age: 21

Position: Air Activities Guide

Nationality: Triple: Israeli, American, and New Zealander citizenships.

Home: DeLand, Florida and Queenstown, New Zealand (The Skydiving Capital and Adventure Capital of the World respectively.)

Education: Highschool diploma, experienced most of his education through online enrollment.

Returning Crew Member: Yay, 2nd year

Experience: Zen spent half his life, if not more, in the sky already. A member of the rare group of Skyborns- someone who was born mid-flight on a plane- Zen was born for both the sky and his career in it. He spent his childhood with his wanderlust-filled, adrenaline seeking parents who spent their seemingly endless funds traipsing around the world with their child held close. The second he turned 18 he became a certified Skydiving Instructor and became a stand-in instructor in both his hometowns while keeping most of his schedule open for himself. Quickly after, he gained his Para and Hang Gliding certifications, both for solo and tandem, followed soon by Bungee Jumping. With his parents finally settling down and not taking nearly as many trips, Zen quickly found himself getting bored with the basic instructor life, and even with his favorite activities. When scouted to be the next Sky Activities Guide for Corsair Adventures, he jumped at the chance at something new.

Personal Statement: "If it's in the air, if it's in the sky, then I'm your guy. I think I'm gonna stick here for the long haul and see where it gets me! I had a lot of options before, but having this program on the resume will basically get me in anywhere. Do I need to work? No. Do I work hard? Well...I do my job! Besides, sometimes the guy has gotta be the one to bring the fun, and from what I saw last year, it's rarely Gray, so I'm happy to fill the role.

What? No, I'm not responsible for some of Callie's glitter makeup ending up on his washrag, must've been a drunken mishap."

Extra:

• Font: Skytree
• Transman, likely won't come up too much. Was easily accepted by his parents and was happy with the gender neutral name he was given at birth so never changed it.
• Came out young enough that he started blockers and then T when he was ready.
• Has far too much fun in dangerously high areas.
• Often found sitting on the balcony railing at the compound if he isn't around others.
• Designs his own stickers, usually used for the sake of good natured pranks.

Personal Statement:
“I may be the Captain’s daughter but I work for absolutely everything that I have, hell, I probably work harder than anyone else. I’ve been told that maybe I’m wound a little too high strung when working but it’s really not the case. I'm just focused. When I’m off duty I’m a bit of a hippy, I just like to chill and swim, which is why in the off season I go and live with grandparents in the BVI’s. I love my Dad but the program is his life and my goal is to merge it with their resorts one day.”

Extra:

• Font: Island Mamina
• Kori is quite far removed from her cowboy roots and although she enjoys her visits to her fathers family ranch, she is not a country girl by any means.

Personal Statement:
“I hate doing stuff like this, talking about me’self. I grew up in the woods, me and me Da’ would go out all the time before he died, it was canny. Ya know to me the wilderness is just a peaceful kind of place and I dunno, I think I wanna be able to show other people that there’s more to life than the little black mirrors we carry in our pockets. The program lets me do that in far off places with a weirdo crew of wanderers like me. Why wouldn’t I want to do that? Sounds like a grand ol’ time.”

Extra:

• Font - Adventure Magazine
• Doug is Scottish on his fathers side and considers Edinburgh to be his second home.
• An avid guitar player and musician, Doug has considered trying to make a career out of music several times. Back home he has a band called, No Future.
• A proud Geordie, Doug sometimes has to clean up his thick accent for clients and crew, though it truly comes out when he’s had a few pints.

AKA: Morgan, Em

Age: 24

Position: General Guide

Nationality: American

Home: W̶i̶m̶b̶e̶r̶l̶e̶y̶ San Antonio, TX

Education: Bachelor of Arts (History), The University of Texas at Austin

Returning Crew Member: Nay

Experience: Morgan doesn’t have much practical experience in the Tourism sector, but she does have plenty of years under her belt in customer facing roles, and the skills are absolutely transferable when it comes to working with guests. Throughout her teenage years she was a hostess at a local restaurant and eventually went on to become a waitress, and during her time at UT she worked at a country club bartending and as a beverage cart attendant on the golf course.

Personal Statement: “I’m sure you get a ton of applicants who are much more qualified, but what I lack in experience I make up for in passion. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always wanted to travel and explore what was outside of my own backyard, but my mom never had the means, so in college I studied history because it was the closest thing to getting new stamps on my passport. I’ve always been fascinated by different places and cultures and eventually I want to backpack all over, but I need to save a bit more before I can do that. I’m a hard worker, a quick learner, and I’ll tackle whatever challenge you throw my way, I can promise you that.”

Extra:

• A Texas girl at heart, Morgan isn’t afraid to get her hands (or her boots) dirty, but she also cleans up nicely and can cater to even the most wealthy and proper.
• She’s adventurous, a thrill-seeker, and can be a tad bit reckless.
• Morgan was a Tri Delta at UT Austin, even though her personality doesn’t really scream the typical ‘sorority girl’. Coming from a tiny town to such a large campus, she was a small fish in a big pond and it was the best way for her to meet people and get involved.
• She has several tattoos, but is excellent at hiding them when required.

AKA: Callie, Cal, Surfer Girl

Age: 23 (Born September 9, 2002)

Position: Water Guide (Surfing, Parasailing, Snorkeling)

Nationality: American

Home: Hale'iwa, Hawai'i, USA

Education: Bachelor of Science (Environmental Science) '23 - Long Beach State, Long Beach, California

Returning Crew Member: Yay, Third tour

Experience: Callie heard about the job in during her junior year at LBSU and given her affinity for the water, she leaped at the chance to get paid, and paid well, for doing things that she wanted to do anyway. After working as a General Guide in the first year, she was promoted to primary guide for sports that have to do with water, where her years of surfing, swimming and paragliding were put to great use. She's picked up snorkeling en route to being trained to scuba dive as well, but the surf is her passion.

Personal Statement: "So, I've never really been big on talking myself up, but I guess I had to if I wanted to get accepted to this program, and here I am. Ready to add a little Hawaiian chill to whatever you're gearing up for. Since my parents moved to Oahu when I was five, I was raised by the ocean, and I wanted the chance to share that with people around the world. Even when I was going to school at the Beach, I would meet people who were as fascinated by the sea as I am, and those connections are a big part of why I keep coming back."

Extra:

• Font - LaksOner
• Has a sleeve of tattoos on her right arm, as well as ear, nose and tongue piercings. She also favors glitter makeup to replicate that seaspray shine.
• Callie is known for a lack of panic and keeping a calm attitude on whatever trip she is on. However, people have said that if you truly make her angry, she will steal your soul from your body.
• Can usually be heard listening to surf rock, tropical house, alt rock and light trance music.
• Her favorite food is tuna sashimi, but it's gotta be done just right.

AKA: Adi, Ades

Age: 24 (April 22 2000)

Position: Head Chef, Culinary Guide

Nationality: French

Home: Toulouse, France

Education: Grand Diplôme de Cuisine and de Pâtisserie, Le Cordon Bleu

Returning Crew Member: Yay, final year.

Experience: Adelaide grew up in the restaurant business, having been a line cook for her parent's restaurant before she even left elementary school. After graduating high school early at the age of fifteen, Adi excelled through culinary school at Le Cordon Bleu, ending up at the top of her class. She was soon offered a Sous Chef position at the exclusive four Michelin star restaurant, La Table du 11. Under the watchful eye of the head chef, the young woman soon proved herself worthy of running her own kitchen. However, at just eighteen years old, she wanted something more. She wanted adventure. Hearing about an open head chef position aboard a cruise ship, she jumped at the opportunity and has never looked back.

Personal Statement: "Oh, you want to know more about me? Absolutely! The art of cuisine has been in my blood since, uh- how do you say- concep-conkep-. Birth. All I've ever wanted was to make people happy through my food. Yes, France is amazing and is my home, but- how often does one get the chance to introduce this type of cuisine to hundreds of different people every single day? I want my food to be able to reach as many people as possible. Food is love, food is healing. La nourriture c'est la vie. Besides, being able to be at sea all the time? Sign me up!"

Extra:

• Font - A little sunshine
• Has zero tattoos or piercings.
• Adi can be known to have quite the dramatic flair at times.
• Definitely a perfectionist and a neat freak.
• A natural redhead, she absolutely has the attitude to match. Her hands start flying about and she begins to speak in very rapid French when angry.
• Still has her French accent and sometimes jumbles words. English is hard, man.

Also, having been born and raised in Busan, known as the summer capital of Korea, he was able to help his uncle at a local marina. Koa was able to learn the basic mechanics and servicing of yachts and other boats.

Personal Statement: "Uh, hi. I'm Koa. I know I'm a bit green when it comes to the tourism and customer service industry, but I'm great with my hands. And I heard the Grayson Kaplan is a guide here. I would give anything to learn a thing or two from him. But, yeah. I grew up in a very touristy city right on the beach, so I'm very familiar with the water. And the ships. I promise you, give me a chance and you won't regret it. I swear."
