Maelstrom is a character first introduced in [[The New Crew]] campaign. Maelstrom has an insane personality, known for murdering his enemies in brutal ways. Much of this character is unknown, because his persona was never elaborated on after he allegedly murdered [[Jo Krysstal]].

__TOC__

==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
[[File:Maelstrom_Puppet.png|left|100px]]
Maelstrom is a male [[Kobold]] with brown rock fur, a single green right eye and a scarred left eye with a mysterious red gem embedded in the socket. He wears a dark grey v-neck tank top, shorts, and a hat with a golden earring in his right ear. Over these, he wears a brown belt, a large red belt across his torso with an oval gold buckle, and a red flowing cape that covers most of his left side. Notably, he keeps his scarred eye covered with a black eyepatch.

===Personality===
Maelstrom is shown to be extremely hostile and manipulative, planning a mutiny with [[Jo Krysstal]] after only recently joining the crew of the [[Bocoe]]. He shows particular sensitivity about his missing eye, growing visibly hostile whenever it is referenced. He potentially murders [[Jo Krysstal]] after the [[Crew of the Bocoe]] gathers to sing a round of "Fuck the Kobolds", which he takes as a slight at his lack of an eye given the verse "Fuck the Kobolds, fuck them in the eye."

== Relationships==
===[[Jo Krysstal]]===
Maelstrom tries to recruit Jo to his mutiny on the grounds that being the only two Kobolds left on a ship where their kind is detested. However when Jo hesitates, his jocular nature turns to fury. Threatening him with death and revealing his enchanted eye. Later Jo partakes in a chorus of "Fuck the Kobolds", which enrages Maelstrom. When he sees that [[McCoy]] left them stranded in [[Laeyuleaugh]], he realizes a mutiny is no longer possible. Enraged by this turn of events and Jo partaking in the offensive chanty, he gouges Jo's eye out and leaves him for dead.

==History==
===Background===

===[[The New Crew]]===
Maelstrom seemed at first to be a pretty normal Kobold, but progressively throughout the campaign he showed that he was much darker than he came off to the rest of the crew, being very brutal when using means of intimidation, and combat style. While on the [[Bocoe]], he displayed notions of wanting to start a mutiny aboard the ship to [[Jo Krysstal]], but that plan fell through. Maelstrom reveals to Jo that underneath his eyepatch, he hides a missing eye, which has been replaced with a red gem that has a glowing aura of darkness that he uses to intimidate his foes. Later on, in [[Laeyuleaugh]], after the rest of the crew left, Maelstrom brutally strangled and presumably killed Jo Krysstal, due to Jo singing [[Jakelad]]'s "Fuck the Kobolds", which Maelstrom took great offence to, due to the line "Fuck the Kobolds, Fuck em in the eye".

===[[The Skeleton King]]===
Maelstrom walks into the bar where [[List_of_Organizations#Bopen's Skeleton Crew|Bopen's Crew]] are recruiting, and walks up to them and says:
 
We meet again, yet still for the first time, 
Tomorrow I join a New Crew, then next day a terrible crime. 
You had your chance to follow my path, 
but you chose The Law, instead of blood bath. 
You create those like me when you over extend, 
Sins burned into flesh that cause us to ascend. 
We feel you when you watch, 'Brutality' is your name, 
To you, the Gods above, this is simply all a game. 
And so enjoy your story, the one you picked over me, 
She will turn on you soon friend, just wait and you see 
We are the Order of Chaos, born from your Sins, 
Our Vision, your gift, our Body, your Skins. 
 

[[Tobias Crag]] then slap him with his glove, and Maelstrom disintegrates into sand, being revealed as a [[Sandbold]]

===Fate===
The fate of Maelstrom is currently unknown, for his fate was left at a cliffhanger after he seemingly killed [[Jo Krysstal]], and abandoned by [[McCoy]].

==Trivia==
* Maelstrom was actually an original character from Rob's old cartoon show, [[Unforgotten Realms (Web Series)|Unforgotten Realms]]. In the show, Maelstrom is half [[Kobold]], half [[Ogre]], but that is not yet a confirmed characteristic of Maelstrom in Unforgotten Realms Live.
** Maelstrom also spoke in a rhyme, in the cartoon most of the time. This trait has not been carried over.
* Maelstrom mentioned that he had a powerful brother who is locked in the [[Silvermine Mountains (Location)|Silvermine Mountains]]. The most likely candidate is [[Chimera]].
** There is also a theory that Maelstrom is the older brother of [[Unter]] and [[Gunter]], due to both Unter and Maesltrom using the term 'Murder Bros'.
** Alternatively, the brother could also be [[Philhipé]]. Philhipe is a prisoner in the Silvermine Mountains and fits the "goofball" description that Maelstrom provides.
* Maelstrom was brought on via a donation event in his first appearance in [[The New Crew]].

__TOC__
==Characteristics==
===Appearance===
[[File:Jo_Krisstal.png|left|100px]]
Jo Krysstal was a male Kobold with a neutral frame, brown rock fur, and green eyes. Jo wore very little, only wearing a pair of black pants that end just after his knees and held up by a green rope, a green bandana with a pink comb, beige bandages wrapped around his forearms and ankles, and a backpack to hold his Dragonskin Bow and various treasures.

===Personality===
He was extremely driven by treasure and was very greedy. He also shows no affection for Pot Puppies. Along with having the most luck of finding random treasure in any places.

==Relationships==

===[[Kinney Boots]]===
Being the only two Kobolds aboard the [[BoCoe]], the two became friends out of necessity. However they are not close.

===[[Captain Merci]]===
Jo is loyal to his captain despite Merci's strong dislike of Kobolds, and Jo being a hesitant member of a mutiny.

===[[Octivias]]===
Jo, does not like fish yogurt in the slightest. This does not stop Octivias from on occasion force feeding him the dish. Because of this the two remain distant.

===[[Maelstrom]]===
Jo is reluctantly recruited by Maelstrom to join his mutiny when his life is threatened. He however does not tell anyone about this. He is left behind by the crew and is strangled by Maelstrom for his choirs of "Fuck the Kobolds."

==History==
===Background===
In his early pirating days he had his bandana, which makes it very sentimentally valuable to him. It is unknown at what point Krysstal joined the crew of the ''Bocoe'', but he chose to follow [[Merci|Captain Merci]] for the sole reason of seeking out treasure. He also referenced his cousin, [[Kinney Boots]], to be another crew member for the journey to the Dingo Isles.

===[[The Jewel of the Dingo Isles]]===
Started off as Jo idea to join the Bocoe full of porcs due to not caring what crew of pirates to join as long he was getting treasure. In the first job(so far we know) at Dingo Isle. During that [[Octivias]] made Jo try fish soup that did not like it and was force to milk him. When an herd of harpy attack the ship Jo stole a [[Wiggly Wrench]] from a harpy, stole owlbear fur along with [[Crystal Catalyst]],fish out a [[Wellforn Ruby]] attempting to save [[Octivias]] and lost his beloved spare hat he had as a kid by the harpies. Afterward when it was dark and foggy Carl the [[Behemoth]] appear at the Bocoe. Jo counterattack the creature's arrival by loading/firing the cannons using his grapple-gun while finding a [[Shadowshade]] that a dead harpy dropped, Captain Merci order to [[Wiggly Wrench]]ed his [[Dulled Vopral Slayer]] to heal McCoy and damage the last of the [[Behemoth]]'s tentacle. Finally reaching the Dingo Isles filled with skeletons, statue and ancient temple ruins once they enter the dingo temple the crew got trapped inside by Enchanted statues blocking the entrance so they must go deeper into the temple. Through out the exploration in the temple Jo hear their were treasure chest but was denied by [[Octivias]] blocking the way and wasn't in the mood to handle [[Octivias]] singing that "song" to go through. Suddenly they reach a dead end with a huge room having a grill floor with heavy steel door when the crew get all the way the room a Grill pit trap was sprung fire erupted. During that a basket of pot puppies surrounded by skeleton drop down so McCoy,Kinney and Merci try to rescue the puppies. Since Jo didn't care about the puppies because they are not treasures he mainly focus on the destroying the door with [[Octivias]] using all the his treasure and golden shots to get out the Grill pit trap especially discovering Kinney's [[Winechestors Finest]] was never lost at sea but instead was in Kinney's coat using grapple-gun then use it for golden shot until the door break escaping to the next room with pot puppies.In the next room was a giant skeleton guarding the jewel but McCoy was able to get the jewel since McCoy was pure of heart holding two puppy except the giant skeleton open and close a golden door where some gold spill out then Jo treasure lust kicked in however was cool down once the Bocoe crew show him the jewel. After it was all over enter back into the ship and celebrate the victory.

===[[The New Crew]]===
Jo continues the campaign with the Bocoe, eventually making his way to the island of Laeyuleaugh. He assists in the combat on the beach and is left to scavenge the ransacked village with Patches. Patches however, clearly infuriated by the group singing the classic pirate tune "Fuck the Kobolds" strangles Jo to death, stabbing him several times before revealing his eye and singing one more round of "Fuck the Kobolds" as Jo's life slips away. He is presumed dead.

===[[Den of Devils]]===
A Believer of Jo joins [[Nisovin|Nisovin's]] group of explorers to hunt for Dragon Eggs in the Den of Devils. He helps defeat the first Whelpling, but as the rest of the group fight [[Flame Spooky|Flame Spookies]], he runs off, seeing a river of molten gold further ahead. However, the large Flame Spooky summons many fire elementals around Jo, which beat him to death. All that remains is a burnt copy of Jo's diary, which releases a [[Believer]] spirit.

===Fate===
Jo survived the initial [[The Jewel of the Dingo Isles|Jewel of the Dingo Isles]] campaign, but was strangled by [[Maelstrom|Patches the Kobold]] to what we presume death in [[The New Crew]]. Patches was infuriated by the crew of the ''Bocoe'' singing "Fuck the Kobolds", which he saw as a slight at his lack of an eye. He is thought to have returned in the Den of Devils campaign, but it is revealed that is was actually a [[Believer]] inhabiting a copy of his journal.

==Trivia==
* His name is a reference to an infamous craigslist post about a "[http://s-ak.buzzfed.com/static/enhanced/terminal01/2010/7/20/16/enhanced-buzz-9731-1279657216-42.jpg JO Crystal]" or "Jack Off" Crystal. The man in the post apparently wore the crystal every time he masturbated and claimed that the crystal glowed while performing the act. He also claimed that wearing the crystal gave him confidence in "work, home, and social situations".
* Jo Krysstal is one of the only characters marked by a curse, this being the Eyes of N'locnil
* Jo's middle name is Oliver
