"I cursed my luck again as I slid down the monkey's throat. Have my dreams of guzzling grog and plundering galleons been reduced to this? 'Three small trials and you're a pirate like us.' Fair enough. If only I could stomach the foul brew these scurvy seadogs swilled, the rest would be easy. How could I have known I'd meet a powerful and beautiful woman with a jealous suitor too stupid to realize he'd been dead for years? And how can I crawl through this great stone monkey to find a man who walks three inches above the ground and sets fire to his beard every morning?" -Excerpt from the Memoirs of Guybrush Threepwood, the Monkey Island Years. Name: Guybrush Threepwood Fandom: Monkey Island Time period: Just after the first game Age: 18 Species: Human Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Weapon: unarmed Appearance: [1] [2] [3]  Personality: Guybrush, even though his moral compass is run under Chaotic tendencies, rarely attacks others unless provoked first. When he is provoked he goes on a verbal offense instead of using his sword but he is a capable swordsman when violence becomes necessary. Left alone he prefers to keep to his own and further his own goals and he has little patience for people who try to boss him around and tell him what to do. This distaste even persists after he becomes a political figure himself through marriage. Rather than take any part in governing an island, he wanders. It's what he prefers doing. Sometimes he does try to do right by people but in the end he is seldom completely moral. Even at his best Guybrush can easily become quarrelsome and he is constantly able to lie, cheat and steal for his own gain. He will be affable and charming to strangers but the second this starts to inconvenience him he'll turn the charm off. This can even happen in mid conversation; Guybrush will compliment someone and then start to insult them if compliments don't get him anywhere. His stunts are usually harmless but he is known to stoop to alarming cruelty out of spite if he's pushed too hard. For example; in the series he's sawed off another pirate's peg leg, thrown someone off a cliff, and he's nailed a person into a coffin causing them to be entombed alive. He can also be emotionally manipulative and abusive and will reduce grown men to tears if it will benefit him in some way. After all, he is a pirate and what sort of pirate goes around with a halo? Of course being roguish and amoral does not equate to being evil. Guybrush is not evil. Beneath the cruelty and egocentricity there is a heart. As he ages in his own world this becomes more and more apparent. Guybrush gains wisdom and learns to be more gentle and open minded about people. He learns to treat others with kindness and he learns to stick up for the principles he's gathered over his life. At the age of 28 he dies, sacrificing his life to destroy an evil deity and save the world. This means that there is a small part of him even now that is capable of selfless acts. His eventual capacity for heroism and benevolence does not grow from nothing. Background Info: Guybrush speaks little of his past and chooses to live in the present. When asked about it, he simply waves a dismissive hand and says it doesn’t matter. He then goes on to proudly state that he’s spent the last couple of years adventuring and becoming a swashbuckling, grog-swilling pirate. From what little we learn about him, it seems he was born to a wealthy family, possibly aristocrats. His parents gave him plenty of advice and he received official schooling, that he eventually dropped out of. At some point, his parents abandoned him and he started wandering, intent on becoming a pirate. How old he was when he parents left, and why they left, is never explained. He thinks of them as being dead. After he came ashore Melee Island, he started recording his life story in his memoirs: http://www.miwiki.net/Guybrush_Threepwood Critique ♦ Further Information ♦ IC Contact  |
