Captain Craig has always been a captain, his first assignment being on the schooner Flibbidygibbet. Sadly, he was marrooned in Siberia, where he nonetheless made the best of things and learned how to play a mean game of snow soccer.
Susie "the Shark" Harkins grew up the daughter of a cobbler, learning a set of skills which seemed mostly useless until she began making super snazzy soccer cleats for herself and her teammates. The entire Pretenders clan is now outfitted accordingly.
Bill Hawkins was for many years a tree-dwelling mammal, until a glorious day dawned and he realized that his prehensile tail could do more than simply smack others in the head. Indeed, it could set him above all the other keepers in the land.
Andrea once was an elf, with a pony named Sparkles. But then Sparkles died, and Andrea in her sadness drank Alice's unlabeled elixir, which made her so large she discovered that even without any skill, she could win half the soccer challenges, and a defender was born. RIP Sparkles.
