You walk into the damp, rusty room of a ship that has seen many days...
You search the dark rooms, looking left and right, up and down... and there, sitting in the darkest corner of the room is a windswept-looking feline, rummaging furiosly through many maps and old volumes spread across the table. His golden eyes glowing and his strong face bearing a protrudent horizontally-placed scar. He looks across to you noticing you had entered. He glares with challenging eyes, full of daring and perseverence. He approaches.
Welcome to my ship!" he greets, "What did you think? Does it amaze you?
You look baffled. So this was the captain?? The one... who created such a remarkable invention??
The Kougra smiled daringly. "Well, I'm glad. My flying ship is my life's greatest accomplishment. It is also... what I live for.
You nod. Still taking in the room, and the wonder of the ship in its entirety.
Would you like to see the ship in action?" inquired the Captain suddenly.
You nod again, curious to know what it feels to fly upon a ship.
Then let's go!" said the kougra cheerily. He gathered the biggest map, rolled up, in his paws and directed you towards the door. You exit out to the deck, the captain following closely behind. A bright orange dragon-like creature flies up to the captain and lands upon his shoulder, eagerly awaiting the launch. The kougra advances up to the ship's wheel, and you stand behind him. Before lifting off, the captain presents himself.
And if you didn't already know, my name is Tigger Delight 606! Otherwise known as Captain Tigger!
You chuckle at the surprisingly cutesy name.
Now now... I am not to be laughed at! Being my owner's first neopet, I was bound to have a silly name as such. Behold!
And suddenly, you lift off the groud!
You gasp in amazement. The ship is as light as a feather! You soar higher and higher, until the ship settled amoungst the clouds. Tigger let it drift.
I suppose... you would like to know my story now?" said Tigger.
You nod enthusiastically.
Well now... let me begin then... it all started on Krawk Island... my home....

The Story...

There was once a rumor that once baffled the citizens of Neopia. T'was the tale of an avengeful shadow in the skies. This 'shadow' appeared as a great winged creature in the sky, that attacked any pirate ship to cross it's path. They said the shadow was searching for one pirate for revenge... but could never find them.

This story, was of course, a terrible myth. The shadow in the sky was in fact a ship, a great ship that sailed the air. It's wings were the masts, and it's fuel the wind that pushed it along. The captian, a young, spirited Kougra, was the one directing it's course.

TiggerDelight606 was the name of this very Kougra. A Kougra that grew up in the spirits of one day becoming a legend. Living in a family of winged pets, he loved the idea of flying and envied their ability. He always wanted to explore the skies. So one day, with the help of his brother and sister, he invented the first flying ship in neopia.

It was a great invention. All the other pirates that witnessed the creation thought Tigger was crazy. He was not, he was just young, naive, and had the spirit and beleif in him that he could do anything.

Tigger one day set out for the help of the legendary zafara Kayla. Kayla, specialist in potions of all kinds, could help make the ship fly. "Flying by magic?!?" gasped Kayla as he proposed the idea to her, "There is no way I can create a potion of that magnitude! Proposterous!" she claimed, trying to shoo Tigger out of the potion shop. "If you want to be a Pirate: sail the ocean, that is the way Pirates are meant to be! Where are you to find adventure in the sky?!" Tigger was shocked at Kayla's sudden disbelief in him.
I've read books all about magic potions like this... It IS possible! Please, give me a chance, I will do all I can to help you make it!
Kayla thought for a moment. She got up, then went to the back of her shop towards the bookshelf. She browsed the shelf for a moment, then, after finding what she was looking for, carried a dusty book back to the shop counter where Tigger was waiting anxiously. "So?" said Tigger.
Kayla cleared her throught. She flipped through the the book to a specific page. She pointed at the page. "This potion? This is to help handicapped winged pets to use their wings again. It is not meant for ships... But..." she paused for a moment, "If we make a decent amount of this stuff, we could sprinkle it on the ship and it may be enought for it to fly!" Kayla was now about as excited with the idea as Tigger was. So, Tigger searched everywhere in Neopia for the specific ingredients Kayla wanted, in big doses, and brought them to her. Days later, a potion was complete.

The family of TiggerDelight peered at the great ship Tigger was hoping would fly. Tigger was on the deck, Corsair, his loyal Gallion, fluttering excitedly alongside him. They awaited as some Chia workers poured portions of the potion on the mast and the deck and the outside of the boat. Kayla stood masterfully observing the workers, directing them where to put the potion. Soon, as the tension and excitement was building, crowds of neopets gathered to watch the marvel unravel. The Chias bounced happily off the ship after finishing their work to see if it amounted. The ship, as the wind picked up, looked almost as if it were light as a feather. It gathered into the air, the masts fluttering in the wind, and Tigger claimed the ship's wheel as if it were the reins on a race horse. "We're flying!!!" Tigger shouted in one gasp of releif and accomplishment. All the neopets cheered as the boat rose higher and higher into the air. Kayla grinned, "Another great potion accomplished."

Tigger then became known as the "Pirate of the Skies". He spent all his time flying through the air and exploring the skies of neopia. Searching to defeat any sea-dwelling Pirate who challenged his greatness.


Did I mention how much Tigger loved his ship? You probably get the picture by now. Tigger's ship appears as nothing but a regular old pirate ship, with fluttering white masts and one flag, at the very tip of the watch tower, black with a menacing kougra skull. A mermaid particularly remniscent of one of The Drenched sisters ornates the front of the ship, her glower scaring off weak and meaningless enemies. Because it has never once touched the ocean, the wooden frame and build of the ship is spotless, no seaweed to be seen, and sometimes even glimmers in the sunlight of the sky. And that, my friends, is Tigger's great flying ship. She's a beaut', aye?






Who's this fluttering along? Why--it seems to be Tigger's shipmate, Corsair! :D

The origin of Corsair's name:

The term refers to pirates or privateers who operated in the Mediterranean. The most recognized corsairs were from the Barbary Coast of North Africa (European crusaders named their Muslim enemies "Barbary Corsairs").

These corsairs were authorized by their governments to prey upon the shipping lanes of Christian countries. The Maltese Corsairs led the fight against the Turks, being led by the Knights of St. John. The Maltese Corsairs initially fought for religion, but after a while the rewards of piracy grew to greater appeal. Soon the Maltese Corsairs were full-fledged pirates, with no interest in religious ideals." ~from the website, piratesinfo dot com.

Yes, he's very piratey, very cheerful, and muchly bright orangey-red! Look at those flamboyant colours! :o
Other Family Members, Friends, and Foes!

Arkahila: Arkahila is a lonely, dark soul. Torchured by friends and family because of his one-winged defect, he became an outcast that wandered the midnight skies of the Lost Desert. Tigger found him on an outing on his ship one night, and it was that that brought Arkahila to our family. He's a quiet one, but we all know deep down he's just as spirited as Tigs. ^^

Calcifer: Calcifer can be a haughty, prissy little bird at times. Being so beautiful and so vain, she beleives all pets must bow down to her. But there are times, in this family, that her cold heart warms and she is no longer the witch she makes out to be. She truley cares for her two brothers, and would do anything for them. And of course, she is Kass' biggest #1 fan.

ll_naiiko_ll: Naiiko is Tig's first piratey aquaintance. A treasure-seeking pirate lupe, and also a great teller of tales ;), he's is Tigger's challenger, and they are great rivals. Whenever they meet, it's battle between Sky and Sea!

Kraknareth: Kraky and Tigs are friends that date waaay back. When Tigs was a wittle bitty baby, he used to play battledome games with Krak. Being a guy, and being competitive as guys are he usually won... ^^;; But Kraky would strike back with an evil muffin in the end!!




Ohemgee! Pictures of Tiggy! xD Steal and feel thy wrath of thy sky.... o.o;; P.S.: Miss' style keeps evolving... the pictures might look very different but if you look closely, not at the signature but the actual picture, you may notice her protrudent love of sketchiness poking about. Oh, she's does wish she was neat, like most artists, but this is the way she will always be. xD She's still trying to figure out Tig's final look, but he might just keep evolving. The picture at the top is miss' most favorite! She might stick with pictures that look more like that one, from now on... oh, she's such a perfectionist! You wouldn't beleive... *narrator rants on*


Ooooh.... this is Tigs all fancy-pantsy for miss' lookup...


The first pic of Tigs sailing! Not too much work on the ship has been done, sadly... :(

Fanart? I have no fanart as of yet... please send some pictures in! I will love you forever! ♥

Adopteebuls
...Rules...
You must read these before adopting!!!!!!!
1. Do not take these designs and redraw them, and/or claiming they are your own work--that's STEALING!
2. Do not use these, UNDER ANY CIRCUMTANCES, for the BC, layouts, or other commercial uses. For some of these, ASK me and be ready to give me credit!!!
3. DON'T remove the link back. -scowl-
4. To adopt, and also to make sure you read the rules, copy and paste the code below into your petpage or site, REPLACING 'NAME_HERE.jpg' with the name of the image. The image name will appear when you hover over it.
 That is all you need to follow! Thanks! :) If I find you breaking these rules, and I WILL, you will be certainly reported for art theft and will remain the rest of your neopet years a shameful name upon my WALL OF ETERNAL DOOM(not yet made, because so far no one has broken the rules)!!!
















Much, much more to come! x.x;;

Customs!
Want a custom? I am currently closed to requests, but to narrow it down a little, you must follow these rules:
-Your kougra must have a petpage, containing your own art peices.
-You must have a description of the design of your kougra(either on the petpage or neomailed to me).
-You must have examples of the design--more than one at best--on the petpage or other sources I can view. These are your own work, it would be weird to look at examples of how YOUR pet is supposed to look through the eyes of others.
-You must neomail me, and make sure you follow the rules above, with your kougra's name somewhere within the message, and 'Custom Adoptable' as the subject.

Voila! That's all you need to do for a custom. ;) So far I have made none, so I'm totally open to requests.

Customs Of Tigs!
Ooooh these are lovely! Neomail missmnmsfreak if your open to do customs!
