There is Gonzo, the giant teddy bear of a first mate whose intense loyalty…
I believe that every person has a doppelgänger. While some civilizations embrace the paranormal to explain this eerie resemblance, others are more lighthearted towards the ironic similarities.

Imagine this: You’re dropped into a world with zero context (unless you read the instruction booklet). You’re surrounded by trees. You have no weapon. There are three exits around you to get you onto your adventure. And a cave. Each path leads to monsters. You take the cave. There is an Old Man standing in…
