Schnörkel, also known as Schnörkel the Avenger, is an Elastopod who plays Dreadball
Biography
Schnörkel is an endearing, if bumbling, fan favourite. Despite his outrageously ludicrous backstory and bumbling antics on the pitch, he remains a highly popular and sought-after addition to teams all across the Sphere.
In fact, part of his popularity is his backstory, which places him as the sole survivor of his slain race. Amusingly, he keeps up this charade despite the crowds of Elastopod fans that attend his games. His many fans happily point out that his wild stories are much more fun than the truth.
The Story
The story goes like this. Schnörkel the Avenger is the last of the Elastopod race; a lone hero seeking justice after his planet was destroyed in a freak accident. So far, so good. This is the stuff that really sells video games. Unfortunately he didn’t stop there.
This disaster was supposedly caused by a single wayward spaceship that had a core meltdown while it flew through the system. It exploded with such force that it destroyed his nearby home world. Schnörkel happened to be on one of their own spaceships at the time and miraculously survived as the last of his race
There are a number of problems with this tale. Firstly, nobody believes that a single nearby engine failure can destroy a whole planet. If it could then the Corporation military would have adopted badly made engines as a primary weapons system decades ago. What really makes a joke of this story is the fact that Schnörkel is very clearly not the last of his race. He regularly has small crowds of Elastopods cheering him on from the stands when he’s playing. In fact, his manager is an Elastopod
