Posted byPosted: Jul 26, 2011, 5:55pm
Hi everyone, could you please give a warm welcome back to Grant, who used to have a character called Eddie Monsoon, remember him? His old profile is here: http://www.bluedwarf.co.uk/crew/crew-info/old-characters/edward-monsoon
And I remember my favourite Eddie Monsoon quote was this:
"Good Morning Sir" answered the toilet in a posh, cultured tone. Like many other people aboard the ship, he had changed the toilet's default voice from a gruff, guttural voice to one that was based on Seymour Niples, the ship's ambassador, restaurant owner and all around prat. Eddie grunted a reply and spent the next few minutes - metaphorically - taking a crap on Seymour.
Anyway enough about that. Eddie Monsoon is Grant's old character, and he's now joining with a brand new one called 'Alfredo Gomez', a spanish engineer.
Here's his profile, you can also see this on the website here:http://www.bluedwarf.co.uk/crew/engineers-repair-crew/alfredo-gomez

Character's Personality and Interests
------------------------------------------
Despite his intimidating glare and serious expression, Alfredo is a kind, quiet soul who is disciplined, well spoken and a gentleman. Is a keen amateur boxer and prefers to spend his time off duty working out. A teetotaler and non-smoker, he is only ever found in the pub if the Zero-Gee Football is on, with his favourite team being the Barcelona Bulls. Whilst a peaceful man by nature, he has been known to fly into a rage if his ship, his beloved Bulls or his mother is insulted.
Character's history/background story
--------------------------------------------
Born on the Spanish colony of Mimas, Alfredo was raised in the slums. His father worked as a cargo loader at the Mimas Central Spaceport whilst his mother stayed at home and looked after Alfredo and his sisters. Alfredo fell in love with the many starships he saw come and go from the spaceport, dreaming of one day leaving Mimas behind on one of them to see the sights of outer space.
At sixteen he left school with qualifications in engineering and electronics and signed onboard a German cargo freighter bound for Venus as a deckhand. Over the next fourteen years he visited many of the colonies and planets of the solar system, working his way up to being an Engineer by a mixture of correspondance courses, field promotions and impressing his superiors by cooking the best paellea this side of Pluto.
