Carnival World Book One is a fantasy novel by Wayne O’Conner
The three characters below are not the major characters of the book although Commander Zales may be considered an important character following the tenth chapter of the book.
Queen Riva Zzzillzzzaga of the Dark Naga
Commander Colonel Zales
Classified Operations Airborne Ranger assigned with four ranger teams as base security for the Carnival World Project of Carnival City, Planet Carnival World. AKA: Ameruca Prime.
2nd Lt. Sullivan Tingerias Wong
Also known as Sum Ting Wong, Secret Asian Man, and Snake Daddy. One of the mysteries surrounding Agent Sully is that even though he is a quarter Japanese, his last name is definitely Chinese. Sully does not like to discuss this topic and deftly pushes aside relevant questions. Zales and his executive assistant, Wrynn-Kaito, know the reason, but keep it close to the vest until the story emerges as a part of Carnival World Book Two. Agent Sully is promoted as Ambassador to the Dark Naga Kingdom during the Crashed Nazi Bell/Dark Naga Recon Mission story arc that starts in Chapter 38 of Carnival World Book One.
Character Profile for Ranger Sully Wong
Sully Tingerias Wong. Sully is the short form of Sullivan. Tingerias (Tin-jerry-us) was the name of a poet-soldier in a fictional story his mother wrote in college writing class. Wong is a common Chinese surname. How, you may ask, does a quarter Japanese man have a common Chinese surname? The answer to that riddle is in the following character profile.
Agent S.T. Wong was recruited from Earth by Zales. Wong had worked for the U.S. government doing classified work. He knew several languages and was an expert with short blades and swords. When Sully joined Alpha team’s rangers he was a second lieutenant, but was promoted out of the Carnival World Rangers and given the role as ambassador to the Dark Naga Queen, following his first major mission for Commander Zales.
Both the Dark and White Naga, on Carnival World, were originally human but Atlanticean scientists had combined their genes with snake DNA, to produce a hybrid human form. The original Naga were set up as two distinct colonies, the White Naga and the Dark Naga. The Atlanticean scientists, following the project, just left the colonies of hybrids and went onto other studies.
Back to Agent Wong’s profile story. When Sully first joined Zales’ ranger team there were many jokes about Sully’s last name being Wong while his records stated that his father was a Japanese American from California. Sully joked that “it’s an ancient Chinese secret, and if I tell you I will have to kill you.”
Sully’s grandfather had been an orphaned Japanese boy. Following his traumatic shipwreck, Sully’s paternal grandfather could not remember his name and only retained dim memories of his early life as the young son of a Japanese fishing boat sailor. The Japanese fishing boat, following a terrible November hurricane, had crashed near Cape Alava, Clallam County, Washington. The only survivor was the young Japanese boy.
An American ship Captain, Gilbert McGregor, part Makah Indian, not exactly a pirate, but with certain moral irregularities, had found and rescued the orphaned boy on November 2nd, 1861. McGregor was known to occasionally sell stolen or “scavenged” items along with fish and game that his crew would procure. He traded with small towns, mining camps, and timber crews along the Oregon and Washington coast of America.
Captain McGregor scavenged the salable goods from the large broken Japanese fishing boat and took the young, cold and starving boy onto his ship. He called the boy, who couldn’t speak a lick of English, Charlie Boy. Charlie Boy was, though young, already trained in catching and cleaning fish and able to do many odd jobs important to maritime employment. The captain immediately put Charlie Boy to work with his sailors.
The captain could tell from the make of the boat and certain items on the ship, that it had probably been a Japanese fishing boat, blown off course during the recent violent storms. Charlie Boy also recognized a few words of Japanese, and from the fact that the boy knew some of those terms, Captain McGregor was certain that Charlie Boy was from the Japanese islands.
When visiting a timber camp in Port Gamble, several months later, following a string of bad poker hands, where the captain lost the money he had earned from selling goods, he sold Charlie Boy to the owner of the saloon. The owner of the saloon traded Charlie Boy to an employee of the local lumber baron, who was responsible for finding workers, whether employed or shanghaied, to fulfill huge timber contracts with the U.S. Government and the railroads.
Charlie Boy was, following his brief stint on McGregor’s sloop, impressed into working with a crew of mostly Chinese laborers who performed grunt work between the forest camps and lumber mills. When Charlie became a young man, the company that ran the lumber operations in the area, ended conscripted and cheap labor and began gainfully employing all workers. As a part of the paperwork, even though it was known that Charlie was a shipwrecked Japanese orphan boy, the company gave him a last name that would fit alphabetically at the end of the employment roster for the Chinese crew. Thus, Sully’s paternal great grand father, even though one hundred percent Japanese, became Charlie (No Middle Name) Wong, an employee of Port Gamble Lumber Company.
