Sean Scooba

Sean "Scooba" De Santiago III, better known as Sean Scooba or simply as Scooba is a Tropicalian oceanic explorer, scuba diver, underwater tour guide, marine biologist and oceanogropher. A former member of the Tropicalian Navy branch of the Tropicalian Armed Forces, Scooba was a navy diver, and still enjoys exploring the ocean, investigating new parts of sea floor and examining reefs.

Younger Years
Sean Scooba hatched in Ñyasaw, in the Coral Archipelago with pale reddish-brown feathers, a colour very rarely found in the country, which slowly darkened and started becoming maroon. As a chick, Scooba showed great interest in learning about the ocean, sea and underwater life, growing to enjoy it above most things he learnt as a chick.

Scooba was a surprisingly adept swimmer, and enjoyed swimming just as much as learning about the ocean. Scooba's father was a good friend of the president of Tropicalis, Penguino Lagois IV, and after a trip to the Arbos Islands to see them, Wikipenguino was brought along and became good friends after meeting Scooba.

Moving to Club Penguin
Scooba and his family moved to Club Penguin in the year 2008, with Scooba later returning to Tropicalis in order to attend the University of Emperor City, where he would continue his passion for learning about the ocean, with the end goal of becoming a marine biologist in mind.

Scooba encountered some difficulty finding jobs as a marine biologist, and decided to join the Tropicalian Navy, becoming a naval diver.

Appearance
Scooba's feathers are maroon in colour. Much like a number of Tropicalians, Club Penguin's fashion style had a lot of influence on Sean's attire, though he almost always wears a Carribean T-Shirt, a Friendship Bracelet on his left flipper, and The Surf Knot. During his diving trips, Scooba wears a wetsuit, a green snorkel, scuba tank and green flippers on his feet.

Personality
Most individuals know Sean Scooba to be a very stalwart and intrepid person, often working hard to attain the necessary certifications required for him to become a marine biologist or professional in the field of oceanography. Also cited as being very approachable, Scooba is known for his generally calm and composed demeanor, usually consistently speaking in a very relaxed manner. Scooba is known to be patient and even-tempered, and is in most cases tolerant of most people, often exercising his patience as an underwater tour guide. Sean is known to have a strong affinity for his home country, Tropicalis, and may at times become somewhat defensive of it, if he is ever questioned about it. Scooba is known to dislike confrontational situations or conflicts, and will often seek to find an option that seems most just in his own eyes, regardless of compromise. This in addition with Scooba's more relativist and decisive stance can sometimes lead Scooba to double down and be somewhat uncompromising and stubborn with his own opinions on something.

Sean is known to treat his work, regardless of what it is, in a very methodical manner, often prioritizing following procedure over doing something hastily or with little regard to required rules. While this makes Sean take more time to do something than others (sometimes to the annoyance of his friends and colleagues), this is plays an important role in his job as a tour guide and an explorer of the ocean, where he conducts tours or takes samples from sea life in order to study. However, this normally puts him a disadvantage in more pressing situations with time constraints in place.

Trivia

 * Sean Scooba has a minor fear of narwhals, despite the unlikely even that he would ever encounter one.
 * He has some Pavender High Penguin blood in him, hence the colour of his feathers, though he can't actually change his feather colour according to what he's feeling.
 * During his time in Club Penguin, Scooba supported the introduction of the Maroon colour in the 2009 Colour Vote (despite it losing to Aqua, much to his dismay).
