If all goes well, in about 2 weeks time I'll be posting another Captain Sullivan Pike animated short (See the original here http://www.furaffinity.net/view/4950113/) I'd like to thank everyone who watched and favorited the original, helping it get over 700 favorites and over 5.6 thousand views.
This time around, I'm introducing the crew of Pike's ship. He may be able to drop kick mutant fish but he can't do everything alone.
Much like the first short, I need your help to name the characters, submit your suggestions and your name might be chosen for the finished animation.
To help give a better idea of the characters, a bit of backstory for each guy, from left to right, A,B and C.
A - A true narcissist, ________ prides himself on looking fabulous at all times. His hair must be perfect, his body must be in shape, he carries a toothpick in his teeth at all times for that perfect smile. Although it makes him popular with the 'ladies of the evening' during port stays, it doesn't make for a good pirate. Afterall, the only reason he did so was in the hope of finding some glittery pirate treasure to adorn his already beautiful self.
B - ________ is a Monk studying the ways of Seon; a sect of Buddhism that focuses the importance of meditation, detachment of physical and personal possessions and devoting ones self to spiritual work. Strange for such a holy man to be a pirate, but he chose to aid Pike in his adventures (as well as the occasional subtle nudge to consider the teachings of the Seon way) after Pike rescued him from slave traders.
C - The newest and youngest member of the crew. ________ is bashful and impressionable but makes a crucial addition to the crew as the ships navigator. He is constantly trying to impress and fit in with his fellow crew mates which often results in him getting into things above his head, which is a lot considering his height.

A: Rudy Cox.
B: Keefe Whelan.
C: Todd Hughes.
Also, am I correct that Seon is the same as Dhyāna/Chán/Thiền/Seon/Zen Buddhism? (Seon being the Korean name, but the Japanese name Zen being most common in English.) I wasn't going to make any assumptions about the monk's ethnicity or national origin - just that he's a Buddhist. :3

All the names have meaning behind them. :3
Rudy is short for Rudolph, which means famous wolf. He obviously thinks highly of himself. And it doesn't hurt that, if his suave air is belittling to other men, he's being rude to them - though that was purely an afterthought on my part, since Rudy is a good name either way.
Cox is because he's cocky, and he's masculine like a cock (rooster).
Keefe means kind or gentle. I almost went with Kevin, but that means kind or gentle birth, and this monk seems like someone who put forth the effort himself to become so enlightened, so he owns that kindness and gentleness.
Whelan means little wolf - this is both ironic and symbolic. He's obviously not little, but he is humble. He doesn't seem like the kind of person with a big self-important ego.
Todd means fox. It's not what he is, but how he is; he has skill and talent; he has "fox".
Hughes is derived from Hugh, which means heart, mind or spirit. I'm guessing this kid has potential for it.
