I just made a connection. The most recent chain of events in the comic revolve around the four elements, in the following order: fire, water, earth, and air. These elements tend to correspond with the four temperaments, which can be assigned to each member of Captain's crew, as you pointed out before. I don't know about you, but my symbolism detector's lights are blinking in all sorts of pretty colors. Thoughts?
Yes, but the thing is that I donât think that the four temperaments that matches the characters and the elements most associated with the characters fit.
Associated elements in the comic:
Snippy => N/A (letâs just place earth here)
We have also been told the 3 minions Pokémon types:
Pilot => Flying steel type
The âassociated elements in the comicâ matches with card suits:
âI HAVE MANY OTHER JUICY TITLES WHICH CAN APPLY: YOUR GRACE, LADY OF THE LAKE, YOUR EXCELLENCE, YOUR AWESOMENESS, ZEE ALL-MIGHTY ONE, OR MY LIEGEâ
Captain carries a mug with a heart on it.
Symbolism - Love, joy, friendship, happiness
âI attached a cow-bell to the sled. âNow,â I thought, âit will jingle loudly if he tries to carry it off.â Unfortunately, the ringing got rather annoying, I quickly found out. I tried to take the bell off, but Captain had taken a liking to the ringing and attached two bells to it while I was sleeping. With each passing day the number of bells tied to the sled increased exponentially, no matter what I attempted. I tried cutting the bells off and throwing them away into a deep snow crevasse. I tried burning them. I tried crushing them. Nothing worked. The number of bells grew with each destructive campaign of mine.â
Snippy was a part of the nobility as Amber of Snippy.

ââŠThank god I didnât throw you away.The trowel scraped loudly against the sword, shaking in my hands.Pilot glared my way, and spoke grinding his teeth:"FOR MASSIVE DISRUPTION OF EUREKAâS AN-NET INFRASTRUCTURE, I HEREBY REVOKE YOUR LIFE INSURANCE POLICY!""ACCEPT⊠YOUR⊠TERMINATION!", he pushed against me with the katana.â
Pilot fights with a sword and is obviously associated with air because he is called Pilot.

â"FIREWALLâ he croaked. âTHEY ARE COMING AFTER MEâŠâ"Yes, I realize that youâve made a wall of fire, now this whole crumbling building is likely to burn down while weâre still inside, you dolt" I commented."LITERAL! LITERAL FIREWALL!" He shouted through the roar of the flames"THEY ARE LIKELY FOLLOWING MY HEAT SIGNATURE! I HAD TO MAKE A LASTING DISTRACTION!"â
He uses fire in emergent situations - Such as when he made a âfirewallâ and bombed the ANNET transmitting towers. He has carried a snow shovel, which is pretty similar to a staff.
