Twin brothers that left the farm to take a road to adventure. After a scare at night, they decided to keep picks handy and yes, they whistle while they work.

i named my geologist after the seven dwarfs from the disney classic movie snow white. thus i have doc, sleepy, dopey, grumpy, happy, bashful, and sneezy.
i have named my explorers after the all time great three stooges aka larry, curly and moe
my generals are from lord of the rings i.e aragon, legolis, gimli, gandolf, frodo and samwise. it was fun naming them thank you for the option, but can i ask that we would be able to pin that pop up box also? especially searching for things like marble. it would make it easier. thanks baddee987

I have 2 Jolly Geo's... their names are Tom and Jerry. The both argue with each other a lot and get themselves into trouble. One day they got themselves into so much trouble that they were told to either straighten up or join the army. So they joined the workers union and started their search for mineral deposits. Being short, they were able to get into the smaller holes than the others, so they found more ore and minerals than the rest. They still argue, but that threat of joining the army and going off to fight some Dark Priests and a Witch of the swamp still scares them. So they remain happy..... Until one large argument changes everything.

Tune in next week to find out what happens to these two.... Same bat-time, same bat-channel.

Jemini Quicksilver was hand picked for the Geologist school, maybe it was his name, maybe it was that they'd just heard he had a quick eye and even quicker fingers (results of hard living after he was abandoned to the streets) - but either way he got to go to the prestigious school where he learned how to be an even better geologist. He'd lived the rough and tumble life and he'd lived the cozy comfort - now he's under the sole employ of the Lady Silver of Dagger Isle where he works happily and speedily on whatever geological searches she sends him on which results in an even more splendid lifestyle.

Snuffles the Stone sniffer
He's a rock hound, took to mining and is now a "specialist". He goes after copper for faster production of tools which help mines level up extracting ore even faster. His 2 brothers are in school now and are inspired by snuffles they want to follow in his footsteps, maybe even exceed his achievement. 1 likes gold the other is fascinated by marble and iron. When the younger 2 brothers graduate they will work with the eldest and maybe start thier own company. Rock hound brothers incorporated....or something like that.

Snuffles grew up on a small island, as a young boy he heard the stories of great explorers and mighty Generals. But Snuffles got his name because he was small and had allergies, he wasn't very good in the fields or workyard's as everything seemed to trigger his sneezing. one day Snuffles met up with a Geologist who spoke of fresh mountain air and beautiful views. Snuffles new what he wanted to do from that day forward, learned his trade and inspired his brothers into the new family business:P

Captain Flatulence

One day he swung the pickaxe a little too hard while working at a marble deposit. He was asked to step down and later found work at a natural gas mine.

My geologists name is: Rockmaninoff Born a distant cousin to a famous music composer, he found his passion in the Earths' buried treasures and minerals. After finding his first gold and coal mines his newly accumulated wealth allowed him to migrate from Russia to the Island villages where his talents for uncovering valuable hidden resources has elevated his status to that of a highly esteemed artist in his own right. On the horizon, he may be purchasing his own chain of islands.
