The Skellies: Masters of the Seas
In-game playable profile pics, ecosystem reward assets, & more!
Introducing The Skellies: a rag-tag gang of ne'er-do-wells who washed up on the shores of the Goldcoves ready for a tussle and keen to make a quick buck.
These nefarious bags o’ bones are simultaneously responsible for the best and the worst of the Goldcoves. They’re a bunch a’ no-good thieves, beggars, liars & cheats, but the one thing they all share is a deep-seated love of some homegrown piracy and keeping a sharp eye out for their fellow shipmates. A true pirate crew!
Skellies 101
Skellies come in all shapes and sizes, but the ones hittin’ the deck in the next week are the very first of their kind — raw to the bone and all decked out in varying degrees of pirate splendor (or stages of degen decay). With traits spanning key elements like bone texture, mouth, eyes, clothing, headpieces, earrings, weapons & more, there’s absolutely going to be a Skellie that vibes with yer piratin’ spirit!
These 2,500 original Skellies are your key to a life out on the sea, and come chock-full of utility on top of their incredible line art:
🖼️ Skellies will be usable in-game as your player identity image and icon on the leaderboards
🪂 Skellies earn a portion of the Blast L2 airdrop in May
🪙 Skellies qualify as “ecosystem value held” in our new seasonal rewards program, which will be rolling out in less than 30 days when Season 2 kicks off
🧠 Skellies have access to private limited whitelist opportunities in our Discord
👀 Skellies can… evolve??
Suffice to say, there’s a lot to love about these not-so-cuddly looking dastardly devils.
The Epic Skellies
But wait! There’s more!
Skellies themselves are just the tip of the iceberg. The real crème de la crème are the Epic Skellies, the big brothers of the normie Skellies. The head honchos, the mavericks, the Admirals of the sea. These are extremely exclusive PFPs that can only be crafted by a daring soul sacrificing 25 normal Skellies and 3 ships of the current season to Davy Jones’ locker.
Whoa.
That’s right, at absolute maximum there will only ever be 100 of the Epic Skellies produced per season, and doing so would consume the entirety of the supply of that season’s normal Skellies. We will never allow users to directly mint Epic Skellies outside of this framework.
Davy Jones will be sharing the Epic Skellie artwork a week or two after mint, right when he’s ready to open that ethereal crafting portal to the land of the Epic Skellies.
Seasonality
Captain & Company is a live-service game that’s constantly evolving, player-owned, and determinedly set on becoming web3’s largest cross-platform action-adventure MMO. As with all MMOs, our aspirations are to capture the creative imaginations of millions of players worldwide, simultaneously venturing out on the shores of the Goldcoves via our seamless cross-platform PC, mobile, and browser experience.
To that end, and to periodically welcome new players to our ranks as we release new features, new limited runs of Skellies will be launched during each Season of Captain & Company. These Skellies will not only allow a broader swathe of players to rep the community and spread awareness, but they’ll also provide crafting substrate for that Season’s Epic Skellies and other potential crafting recipes. We are extremely conscious of market value on existing assets, and will be heavily weighting current trading prices when introducing new future collections.
Blast Rewards & Airdrop
During the Blast mainnet launch event, Skellies will receive some amount mBLAST, which will then convert to Blast Gold and ultimately into $BLAST when the Blast team finalizes their airdrop around May. Blast has very quickly become one of the world’s largest Ethereum L2s, surpassing Avalanche and Polygon in terms of TVL in less than a month after launching thanks to lucrative points programs.
As our very first PFP collection launching on Blast, Skellies hold a hallmark position in history as a keystone collection on one of the most promising chains in the decentralized world.
Shipholder Airdrop
We love our pirates. Like, really, really, really love our pirates. We hand out almost-daily WLs to partnered projects in the Discord, give them early access to premints, send them tons of Blast Gold, and, of course, give them a big cut of the seasonal holder rewards. And now we’re upping the game by dropping 1 free Skellie to all holders per 5 Clockwork Brigs they own and per 1 Wraith Brig they own.
What’s an Admiral without a Skellie, after all?
