Rapp Scallion
From MIwiki
Rapp Scallion the Cook (shortened to either Rapp Scallion or just Rapp) was one of the four original crewmembers of Captain Marley who held one of the four map-pieces that lead to the mysterious and relatively unknown island of Dinky Island, home of the legendary treasure of Big Whoop. After the crew-members go their separate ways, Rapp opens a hot dog stand, the Steamin' Weenie, on Scabb Island.
After his transformation into a ghost LeChuck seeks his revenge against Marley and his crew. In the third game he describes how he caused the gas-explosion in Rapp's place of business. In the second game, in order to get Rapp's map-piece the player must resurrect him. The player must first identify his coffin from a limerick scratched on to it and bring a sample of his ash (as Rapp was inciderated) to the Voodoo Lady who gives Guybrush the magical substance to bring Rapp back to life. Guybrush must then go and turn off the gas at the Steaming Weenie so that Rapp can rest in peace and give his map-piece away.
In the third game Guybrush has a flashback of Rapp's ressurrection. Rapp is also depicted alive as an animatronic puppet on the Rollercoaster of Death.
References
- Rapp Scallions' name is obviously a reference to the term rap scallion, a reference for a mischevous trickster or a scoundrel.
- When Rapp dissappears for good he makes a thumbs up with his left hand. As his body turns to ash his hand is still visible for a second before it too turns to ash. This is an obvious homage to the ending of Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
