# Admiral Fluffington, in Moppetopia
What the record holds around Admiral Fluffington, dated up to Year 453 (the world's now: Year 453). Read as the Character's own view.

## Admiral Fluffington
Character · Military / Admiral
  Admiral of the Puddle Navy and commander of the USS Fuzzball. Pink felt, immaculately kept, with one googly eye that was Admiral Splashworth's, and with it some of Splashworth's memories. Son of Admiral Stuffington and the last of House Stuffington. He and Captain Snoot were friends at the Naval Academy until The Incident. His catchphrase: "We sail where the puddles flow." The family crest, three water drops and a felt star, hangs on the Fuzzball's bridge.
  physicality: Pink felt, immaculately kept. One googly eye, Splashworth's left, transplanted.
  mentality: Does his job exactly as the Puddle Navy trained him to. Wakes some nights seeing things he didn't live through, and tasting oats, which nobody in Moppetopia eats. It is getting harder to tell where duty ends and denial begins.
  background: Son of Admiral Stuffington. Naval Academy graduate, then Admiral. Carries Splashworth's eye, and possibly his guilt.
  reputation: Respected commander. The establishment, personified.

  species: Moppet, Puddle Moppet

## Events
- The Incident (Event · Discovery / Revelation) · via characters · Year 370
  Year 120 YSL. The moment everything broke. Captain Snoot and Admiral Fluffington were fellow officers, friends, maybe more than friends, when Snoot stumbled onto evidence of the Moistened Valley Massacre cover-up. He wanted the truth. Fluffington wanted to protect the Navy (and his father's memory). The confrontation was emotional and political, not physical. Snoot left the Puddle Navy that night with proof hidden somewhere. Fluffington let him go, or couldn't stop him, or both. Neither of them has been the same since. The Incident is what the Navy calls it, because naming it properly would mean admitting something happened.
- The Crumblefield Standoff (Event · Conflict / Engagement) · via characters · Year 447
  Year 197 YSL. The USS Fuzzball encountered the Stale Vengeance at the edge of the Crumblefields during a routine patrol. Admiral Fluffington ordered battle stations. The Crumbler responded by steering directly into the densest crumb cloud. Fluffington pursued for exactly forty seconds before Chief Engineer Wrinkles pointed out that weapons fire in the Crumblefields would ignite the compressed sugar particles, creating a chain detonation that would destroy both ships and probably reshape the local geography. Both ships withdrew. Fluffington logged it as tactical repositioning. The Crumbler didn't log it at all, because Cookie Pirates don't do paperwork. Sergeant Flop reportedly said, "I could have taken them seventeen times during the retreat." Nobody agreed.

## Names
- We Sail Where the Puddles Flow (Construct · Society / Tradition) · via characters · undated
  The Puddle Navy's motto, and Admiral Fluffington's catchphrase. Moppets say it at launches and at funerals, in the same voice.
- Year Zero Anniversary (Construct · Society / Ritual) · via characters · Year 250
  Annual commemoration of the Treaty of Soft Landings signing (Year 0). Celebrated throughout moppet space. Drizzle has a private tradition: every anniversary she sends Admiral Fluffington a drink. He never touches it. Neither of them explains it.
- Fluffington-Snoot Rivalry (Relation · Personal / Rivalry) · via actor, characters · Year 370
  Fluffington and Snoot were friends at the Naval Academy, maybe more. When Snoot found evidence of the Moistened Valley Massacre he wanted it told; Fluffington wanted the Puddle Navy's name, and his father's, kept clean. Snoot left with the proof. The rivalry is secrets, loyalty to an institution against the truth, and what a family hands down. The betrayal broke both of them.

  The preeminent naval dynasty of Puddleton. Three generations of Admirals, or two, depending on what you believe. Admiral Stuffington (the patriarch) is officially deceased, a war hero who gave everything for the Puddle Navy. Admiral Fluffington (his son) carries the name with pink-felted dignity and an inherited compass. The family crest features three water drops and a felt star, which adorns the USS Fuzzball's bridge. There are no other known Stuffingtons, which makes Fluffington the last of the line, a fact he drinks about more than he'd admit.
- Captain Snoot (Character · Fringe / Smuggler) · via rivals · known of
  Rogue explorer, smuggler, and the one who knows. Faded blue felt, one googly eye missing since the Snack Nebula crash; under the eyepatch there may be the Googly Eye of Truth. He left the Puddle Navy after The Incident (Year 120 YSL) with evidence of the Moistened Valley Massacre cover-up, and has kept it hidden ever since. He drinks at The Soggy Sock, trades with the Cookie Pirates, and buys information from Madame Threadbare at The Thread Market, playing both sides. In Year 203 YSL he found The Rolling Pin past the Crumblefields, a humming Bakerfolk ruin three kilometers long, and brought back a fragment that hums in time with the Eternal Drip's pump cycle.
