Welcome everyone! Live, from The Bucket!!!
Wietse: A grumpy old man from Friesland working as commentator.
Appearance
Personality
The son of a farmer, Wietse is a very down-to-earth person. But for this tournament and his teamwork with Berbie, it often means he has to play the straight man. While often grumpy and hard on those he thinks need it, Wietse is a friendly person who cares a lot for those he cherishes. Known for his professional but powerful play-by-play commentary, Wietse always strives to give unbiased comments - although some people do tend to get on his nerves…
Powers and Abilities
Wietse is a normal human being with no powers and as a non-contestant, he really doesn’t need to. Still, Wietse possesses vast knowledge and experience in life, especially when it comes to farming. He is also experienced with handling hunting rifles and can brawl if it would come to hand to hand combat.
Besides that, Wietse can also sing and play some guitar for entertainment.
Background
History
After Crab 1
Wietse has fathered 2 children with Carolyn: Isaac and Bethany.
Relationships
Life Within CRAB
Wietse, along with Berbie, was taken by the GM to be the commentary crew and production assistants for the first edition of /crab/. Throughout the tournament, the duo provided commentary and interviews.
In the second edition of /crab/, their roles got expanded and the duo also partake in the general organization of the tournament, helping new contestants and helping the GM write invitations for future events.
In between tournaments, Wietse keeps up a farm in the world of /crab/, providing food for the contestants. On occasion, contestants are allowed to stay at the farm, provided they help him work on the farm in return.
