MONEY ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Kashkrab - Wealth Gender: Male Name is cash + crab + cash-grab, but with k’s instead of c’s Sound: Acoustic drum kit (clamps his big claw (hi-hats), hits chest with hook (kick), and slams chest shut (snare)) Bio: “Greedy with a capital G, money-hungry Kashkrab loves nothing more than to fill his chest with Wealth. His mind is simple; having all the shiny things makes crab brain happy. Sometimes, he gets too in over his head and gets himself hurt. One time, when trying to swipe a pearl from the Open-Shuts on the shorelines of his home, a claw got stuck and he had to replace it with a hook. He’s also very fond of saying words like ‘matey’ and ‘yo ho ho’, and he’d sooner down a gallon of ‘the good stuff’ than take a lick of a single citrus.” Chokaching - Wealth/Sweet Gender: Male Name is chocolate + kaching Sound: Vibraphone (via his levitating strawberries) Bio: “Since the beginning of his wild ride he calls existence, Chokaching has had quite a fondness for the strawberries grown on Wealth soil. So much so, he feels a state of pure euphoria if he eats too much in one sitting. During such moments, it’s not advised to get between him and his berries, or you’ll receive a faceful of (somehow still pretty warm) chocolate fists for your trouble. When he’s off the stuff (which is rare), though, he’s quite a generous chap, though.” Snaperture - Wealth/Tech Gender: Male Name is snap + aperture Sound: Electronic drum kit (blinks [camera flash style] and snips claws) Bio: “For the most part, the element of Wealth pertains to monetary value. Snapeture, however, brings up a different value; the sentimental. He takes photos to keep those good memories close, even having photos of seemingly long-gone friends. Some might think he’s the kind of monster to take a peek in private matters, but no, he has standards. Others are more interested in what his body behind the curtain is; maybe it’s exactly what we see, just bolted to the inside, or it’s an endless mass of eyes and arms, or maybe it’s just a prankster monster hogging the portable photobooth.” Gelemode - Wealth/Weather Gender: Genderfluid Name is geode + element Sound: Electric piano (lets out elemental pulses) Bio: “The kinetic crystal Gelemode is quite a bit of a puzzle. She seems to be less an individual entity and more like he’s a hodgepodge of four or five in one body. If they’re alone long enough, you might be able to overhear an argument among two or more of them about who should control the body. And on the topic of control, they can bend natural elements to their will; sometimes to be isolated, sometimes just for fun or to show off, and sometimes for convenience. So don’t pick a fight or a race with him, if you value your life or pride.” Duorby - Wealth/Craft Gender: Male Name is derby + euro Sound: Jaw harp (horse bucks around) Bio: “Duorby’s just an innocent little guy. All he really cares about is riding on his horsey, eating the yummy candies, and making mom proud with his grades. He’s not gonna be worried about the state of the world.” Dredchman - Wealth/Spook Gender: Male Name is dread + flying dutchman Sound: Hurdy-gurdy (he just floats there… MENACINGLY) Bio: “Legends foretell of a ghastly ship, roaming the land to fleece the living for all their cash, lest they meet a grim, watery fate. Dredchman… sorta underdelivers. Sure, he’s a double-crossing conmon’ who’s working for the Moon Baron, but he doesn’t quite possess the power to sink entire planes or boats the tall tales claim he has. Besides, it’s the world’s fault he’s doing this; had they actually bothered to bury him, maybe he wouldn’t be such a cheat.”
