The Sea Devils are my first attempt at a full subteam for GI Joe. It came about when I did a new custom of the Devil's Due version of Shipwreck. I mixed a nice blue colour for his sweater and hat (a mix of basic blue and intermediate blue), but I made way too much of it. It's such a pleasant colour that I decided to build a whole team around it, and the natural theme (both based on the colour and that Shipwreck would be a member) was water. So I came up with the Sea Devils, a Joe team that specializes in amphibious, littoral and riverine operations. Unlike existing subteams, I wanted to do a significant proportion of new characters to go along with the existing Joes who fit in with the idea, and use a relatively consistent colour scheme involving the Shipwreck blue, intermediate blue, and light and medium gray.
Remora is an original character, intended to pilot one of the Sea Devils' watercraft. Her filecard information is below.
File Name: Baker, Gloria S.
Birthplace: Honolulu, HI
Service Branch: Navy
Grade: E-5 (PO2)
Primary MOS: Boatswain's Mate
Secondary MOS: SERE Instructor
Remora's father was a race-car driver, and she was brought up to follow in his footsteps. She was a natural, and was driving semi-pro by the time she was a teenager. But a life of going around in circles just didn't appeal to her. She loved exploring too much and wanted to see more of the world. She graduated Mount Holyoke College (about as far from home as she could get in the country) with a degree in geography, and at the same time earned a black belt in Kung Fu. The Navy beckoned with its promises of sailing the open seas, and Remora never looked back.
"Remora is the greatest navigator you'll ever see. She doesn't need landmarks, she doesn't need charts. It's almost like she can see the Earth's magnetic field and use that as a guide. It's almost spooky, to be honest."
