Alpha is a Simian Dreadball player.
Biography
The Munchu-Bentu Simians are known for their speed and strength so training them for DreadBall seemed like an ideal plan. After several unsuccessful - and violent - attempts to train Alpha as a Striker, his bruised and broken trainers decided to let him be what he wanted to be: a Jack. This allowed him to do whatever he felt like on the pitch and that suited Alpha perfectly.
DreadBall has since given Alpha a way to vent his frustration and anger in a healthy manner. The biggest disappointment for the training staff has been his lack of interest in developing his ball skills. Perhaps if they had spent more time practising throwing the ball at the other players instead of the Strike Hex he would have paid more attention. Certainly that seems to be his favourite use of it.
Now a former DreadBall player, Alpha was forced to enter the OverDrive circuit after a poor business decision to open an inter-planetary restaurant chain called TGIB – Thank Goodness It’s Bananas. Although the chain proved popular with travelling Zees, most people were put off by the prospect of a (predominantly) banana-based menu. Plus there was the fact that the Zees – buzzing after the all-you-can-drink banana-based cocktail hour – would often start throwing ‘stuff’ around the restaurant… and it wasn’t always food. Soon the chain was hit by mounting healthy and safety fines, which forced Alpha Simian to close the doors on TGIB forever. Still, since joining the OverDrive leagues, Alpha has found a lucrative side line selling all his leftover supplies as ‘Banana Dogs’ during the halftime show.
