Arctic Expedition

For story class, we had to create characters for a pitch for the class. My characters were developed as a forgotten expedition to the North Pole, assumed to end in disaster.

 Major Wick is the fearless leader, plagued with insanity, and his closest companion is a frozen herring named Dima. His crew includes Pook, the silent but friendly Eskimo, Mr. Scwitz an ice-fishing tourist who got more than he bargained for, and Dr. Merriman, the crew's navigator, who was swallowed by a polar bear.
