Lore

Captain Kaboom is fierce as a tiger and swift as a sparrow, light enough to scale any height, and brave enough to dive into a river and pull a drowning little Kaboom to safety.
The Captain is the most capable, most dependable person there is. Every member of the Kaboom Team knows it.
Every so often, though, the Captain wonders what it might feel like to have a childhood like any other kid's: swinging in the park, sliding down the giraffe tower, squeezing into a drainpipe for a game of hide-and-seek...
Just one evening would do. When the rare moment of rest is over, she snaps straight back into being the capable, dependable Captain Kaboom.
