Carter

SUMMARY

Carter Stratford is arguably the best sailor to ever sail the waters of Salmon Bay. So it was no surprise when you and your best friend, Andy Smith, were elected co-captains of the Oceanside High School Sailing Team for your senior year.

Last year, during the Salmon Bay Homecoming Regatta, Andy saved your life after you nearly drowned. That near-death experience granted you special powers and, for the past year, you’ve been protecting Oceanside as the super hero named Captain Awesome.

Andy is the only person that knows you are secretly Captain Awesome, but Andy thinks your crime fighting extracurriculars are distracting you from your responsibilities with the sailing team. At the party, you’ll confront Andy and will eventually reveal yourself to everyone as Captain Awesome. So, be sure to pack your Captain Awesome Super Suit!

SALMON BAY HOMECOMING REGATTA

Every year, the Oceanside Wolves take on the North Shore County Bats in a sailing competition known as the Salmon Bay Homecoming Regatta. Students from each school compete in various races over the course of the weekend, with the final race being between the co-captains of each team. The winner of that race wins the Salmon Cup.

You love competing in the regatta and take great pride in your sailing ability. Nothing gets your blood pumping like a “Go Wolves!” chant, followed by lots of loud and obnoxious howling. GO WOLVES!! OOOOOOoooooooo!!!!

CAPTAIN AWESOME

Last year, you almost drowned when a few punks from North Shore County crashed into your and Andy’s boat. When you woke up in a hospital bed the next morning, you realized that you now have super strength and the ability to sense whenever a person is in danger. You call that your “Super Awesome Danger Sense” of “SAD Sense” for short.

Ready to break the mold of a dumb jock that only cares about winning the Salmon Cup, you decided to use your powers to serve your community. So, for the past year, you have been protecting the citizens of Oceanside from crime and other nefarious activities (mostly perpetrated by the scrum bags that live in North Shore County).

Being Captain Awesome is awesome and you find the work incredibly fulfilling, but the pressures of juggling your personal life, sailing practice, and super hero duties are starting to wear on you.

MR. OPUS

This summer, the beloved music teacher and band director of Oceanside High School, Mr. Opus, went missing. It’s the first missing person since you became Captain Awesome and you are really worried about him. For some reason, your SAD Sense never worked on him and you were never able to sense when he was in danger. You feel as though you are failing Mr. Opus and the entire town of Oceanside.

ANDY SMITH

As long as you've known Andy (since freshman year), Andy has been obsessed with winning the Salmon Cup.

Andy is the only person that knows you are Captain Awesome and has forbidden you from telling anyone else. In fact, Andy thinks, “This whole Captain Awesome thing is a big waste of time,” and that you, “should be solely focused on winning the Salmon Cup.”

Andy saved your life, and they are your best friend, but you are getting tired of Andy trying to control your life…

CAPTAIN AWESOME SUPER SUIT

At Andy’s party, Carter will reveal to everyone that they are, in fact, Captain Awesome. You’ll spend the entire second half of the party in your “Captain Awesome Super Suit.” So, be sure to bring a super hero costume that you can change into halfway through the party.

NOTE: If you need inspiration, check out Mystery Men, Tank Girl, Blankman, The Crow, or The Phantom.

BEFORE THE PARTY

If Alex contacts you, tell them to mind their own business (Alex is your twin sibling and is not allowed to date anyone unless you do because of a weird rule your father has). Alex used to be a total band nerd, but then they stopped wearing glasses and became popular. Tell Alex to go back to being a nerd and that you’re too busy preparing for the Homecoming Regatta! 

If Andy contacts you, tell them yes, you are definitely planning to bring your Captain Awesome Super Suit to the party and that you think being Captain Awesome is well worth your time! 

Contact Bobbie. Bobbie used to be in the band and was pretty tight with Mr. Opus. They dropped out of school this summer and may be a person of interest worth checking out. Ask Bobbie if they have heard from Mr. Opus or know where he might be. See how Bobbie responds.

If Peyton and/or Max contacts you, tell them to buzz off! They are the co-captains of the North Shore County Bats and the punks that almost killed you last year! Say something like, "YOU are a loser! GO WOLVES!"
