Alabaster's Gems | ||||||
![]() |
||||||
An intergalactic, multi-dimensional softball team playing for Jake Alabaster (not Engell, sorry!) against such teams as the AfroAnthroAstros, Clashing Flotilla, The Killer Wave, and more. Their numbering is simple: no one but Jake is number 1, so they're all in the teens. They have only been playing for about 3 seasons now, so they haven't had much in the way of replacement players. 11, Sh'urrb, Outfield Center. A Siren lifted from the waters of her world. Seen as a bit of a traitor by her Killer Wave homeworld fans, Sh'urrb blows off their hisses and boos with style. In her mind is always a bit of jealousy toward Seevi, as she often competes for Tamoth's attentions. When male players arrive around 2nd base she is often heard to send her charms toward them... The Killer Wave men try their best but often fall prey to her. 12, Maxiil, Catcher. A human from a world where the gravity is 2 or 3 times normal. He is quite strong in normal gravity situations, though many people underestimate him and think he's 'fat'. That's not fat, friends... He is the only member of the team who actually wears his team hat outside of practice and games. If he sees a player trying to steal a base after a batter's struck out, watch out for that throwing arm! They can't let him play pitcher! 13, Z'ren, 3rd Base. A Saurian from a warm, swampy world. He enjoys the comforts of home: a squishy wet chair, putting his feat up on a lava-stone heatrock, and basking on the muddy flats beside his home. However, he also enjoys slamming a ball out of a stadium, and is perfectly capable of it too. Z'ren is a carnivore. Sometimes opposing players learn this, and have an innate fear of him. Some players don't make it past 3rd. 14, Anni, 1st Base. A race called Raki calls this twin of Enni their most brilliant mind. He is far more interested in physical pursuits and enjoys ducking out of his hyper-tech classes at the Rakian University, to play. He is of course a great runner, with a balancing tail like his clutch-brother. If he can't get past a baseman, no one can. 15, Tamoth, 2nd Base. A Sylvan whose charming smile and shy exterior makes for a great team representitive. He has a speaking voice clear and calm, and keeps the team together in times of stress. Seevi and he are usually an item, though they've often broken it off briefly. Their relationship comes second to his team, but nothing beats seeing him hit a home run and gleefully romping around the bases. 16, Enni, Outfield Right. Anni's clutch-twin, from Raki. Was expected to be the more sportsman like of the pair, as all Raki are paired such, but it turns out they both love many things such as math, science and softball. Enni's speed is amazing, and when Sh'urrb cannot reach an outfield hit, he's sure to get to it in time. 17, Seevi, Pitcher. Sylvan and gleaming like her partner Tamoth, Seevi enjoys taunting the men on the batting square just because she can. A dangerous fawn indeed, for her pitching has been known to reach hardball-speeds. Not that she tries to hit any player. Oh no. Of course not. She keeps Sh'urrb away from Tamoth, while also trying to keep Enni and Anni away from HER. 18, Bushish, Shortstop. A lagomorph possibly from the Sylvan world. She is little, quick, and screams a war cry when she makes a hit. Once she's on her way to a base, don't bother trying to tag her out, she'll just dodge. She is the youngest member of the team, and is usually in a little awe of the other players and teams. 19, Creal'w, Outfield Left. An Avian with as zany a personality as you'd expect this colorful guy to have. He doesn't have to try very hard to catch things, when he sees something flying towards him, his instinct is to use his beak to catch it -- fortunately his species is capable of using their thumbs too. He isn't much of a hitter, but he does well enough to remain on the team otherwise. |
