"The Truth is, I've been confused for a long time (very confused) SO FUCKING CONFUSED. One minute I hate women, the next I hate men, one minute I hate gnomes, the next I want to make love to all of them (And I don't even know what that is). NOBODY EVER TOLD ME. That's right, it's kissing time. Pucker up, come on. KISS THIS ELVEN CHILD."
— Phineas

Phineas Barringster, self titled as "Master Cabalist," is an Elf who first appeared in the Porc Hunters campaign of Season One. He is the younger brother of Templeton Barringster VII, and the cousin of Xavius. Phineas is also the godson of Virgo Sunsword (Introduced in The New Crew), who is the father of Gwyneth Sunsword. He wishes to be a Cabalist like his older brother. He was introduced in Porc Hunters, was a "guest" of The Sunswords, and was also a part of the Bocoe's crew in The New Crew and is played by Rob. Phineas is also a major character in Coe's Quest.

Characteristics

TNC

Appearance

Phineas is an elf that is smaller than his older brother. His eyes are slightly round and have a slight gleam in them that reflects his young age and wistful spirit. Phineas shares the same hair style as Templeton, but it is often obscured by his crimson hat. He wears a long sleeved red tunic that is accented by gold around the end of the sleeves. He has light red/pink leggings, brown boots and a brown belt. Phineas also wears a red cape that is much too long, such that it drags on the ground behind him. In Coe's Quest, Phineas wears a smaller version of this cape, which ends at his knees. During his time with the Bocoe, Phineas wore a suit of armor made of Porc skulls and clothing made with Porc skin.

Personality

Phineas is very enthusiastic, wanting to go on an adventure constantly. His older brother disapproves of this, saying that it is too dangerous every time Phineas wants to go out in the world. Phineas also has a fondness towards Gnomes, as shown by his actions towards Bob and by having three gnome servants in his household. He is, at first, sexist towards female elves, but later on becomes sexist towards male elves and and is inexplicably amorous towards gnomes under the influence of Dave's Love Staff. He also prefers the taste of Goblin Eyeballs, rather than the kidneys which is what the rest of the elves prefer to eat. Phineas seems to know various abilities and information about the world, sometimes choosing to reveal them to others.

Phineas has a certain brutality to him, wanting to kill a Porc only to bring a skull back as a trophy in The Sunswords, ordering Bob (The only non-goblin-hating member of the team) to execute a goblin and even attempting to stab Kallark when he was down in order to become the leader. This power-hungry, manipulative and sadistic side seems to be hidden most of the time, and Phineas appears to be a young, ambitious, lovable elf. However, he betrays his nature by the occasional misogynistic or violent comment. Phineas is a felinophobe.

Relationships

Templeton Barringster VII

Templeton is the older brother of Phineas. He is very protective towards his younger brother, never wanting anything bad to happen to him, so he prevents Phineas from going on adventures. This upsets Phineas very much as, most likely due to his young age, he does not fully realize the potential dangers of an adventure. When Phineas ran off from his brother to fight the Porcs near his village, Templeton alerted Theta Squad to try and save his brother.

Bobby "Bob" Bobertson

Phineas is very fond of gnomes and therefore fond of Bob when they first met. Phineas patted Bob on the head, showing his friendliness, which led Bob to act friendly in return, not using his "tough guy" voice but rather his much softer voice. Phineas and Bob kissed while under the influence of Dave's staff. The pair met again in New Crew, affectionately wrestling. Their relationship has romantic undertones, but both Phineas and Bob seem to be heavily in denial.

Xavius

Xavius is Phineas' cousin, and is much more lax compared to Templeton when talking to Phineas, encouraging him to go on adventures rather than attempting to stop him. Xavius taught Phineas the Spell of Bearding and let Dave teach Phineas the Spell of Shaving. He also gave his young cousin a Warp Blade that was found from Greeky's brother's dead body.

Virgo Sunsword

Virgo Sunsword is Phineas' godfather. He is an incredibly powerful elf, and is noted to not like Porcs, as seen when he spits in Cain's face. Phineas seems terrified of him.

Unnamed Mother

Phineas' mother creates elven sugar cookies that are not the most tastiest of cookies, Xavius for one does not like these cookies at all. However, her family still eats these cookies in battle to use their magical effects.

History

The Sunswords

In the The Sunswords campaign, Phineas brings Elven Sugar Cookies made by his mother to his cousin, Xavius. He ends up staying with Xavius and the group of Sunswords as they escort prisoners to the Silvermine Mountains. Dave teaches him Fireball once he joins the group.

When the Sunswords come to a burning barn, Phineas watches the prisoner carriage, and moves it to safety.

When coming to a bridge with an Ogre preventing the Sunswords from crossing it, he is promoted to leader and has a series of mood and personality changes. He becomes sexually confused, wanting to be a female elf and having romantic feelings towards gnomes, and makes out with Bobby "Bob" Bobertson. He then instructs Bob to kill Greeky, the goblin prisoner. After Bob lets Greeky escape and attempts to lie to Phineas about killing him, Phineas becomes very angry.

Porc Hunters

Phineas Barringster is the younger brother of Templeton Barringster VII. He wishes to be a Cabalist like his older brother and runs off to prove his worth. The Theta Squad goes out to find him and rescue him. He is eventually knocked unconscious and put in a Porc holding cell for Porbo to eat. He eventually regains consciousness as Theta Squad was fighting Porbo.

The New Crew

Phineas Barringster is a young adult and has finished Cabalist school. Looking for work, Phineas finds work on the Bocoe as a new recruit. He has gone insane since he was last seen as he likes to sleep under a Blanket of Darkness, most likely contributing to his insanity. Phineas reunited for Bob and he developed a friendship with McCoy.

The Skeleton King

Phineas Barringster is aboard on the ship with Virgo Sunsword, Bob and the sunsword Paladins on that was in the The New Crew. After he casts a huge blanket of darkness he went to the front of the ship and fell into the drink.

Fate

It is unknown what happens to Phineas after falling off the ship; he could have swam away, drowned due to his insanity, or have been captured by the Ageless.

Trivia

• Phineas occasionally gives hints and advice to the players by breaking the fourth wall.
• Phineas was a last minute character to be created, being made just before the day of Porc Hunters.
• His game piece lacks eyebrows and Phineas' Puppet has the exact same hair as Roamin's.
• Phineas' Puppet's hat and elf ears are the same accessory. Therefore, when Phineas removes his hat in The Sunswords he also loses his ears.

  • Despite his insanity, Phineas still seems to be stable, and retains knowledge on his family and his current allies.
