Unlike most pirates, Rurik sports no missing appendages or limbs and still has both eyes and both ears. The saying goes that nobody has ever injured Rurik because no one can stand the smell long enough to get that close. A powerful aversion to any sort of cleanliness (although he does drink wood varnish to "keep his innards shiny") combined with a long exposure to countless tropical diseases and the realisation that horrible hygiene can strike as much fear in the enemy as a good battle-cry has produced the dirtiest, smelliest, most infested, most scabrous pirate in all of Marienburg.

[She was] wearing a blouse that might have been white if it hadn’t been covered in thick mud, cut-off shorts that barely skirted the edges of decency, and a pair of surprisingly sturdy looking hiking boots. Her hair was blonde under the filth, and hung in mud-clotted hanks around her face. She was possibly the dirtiest person he had ever seen outside of a mud pit. She might qualify as a mud pit.

Major Leep: Yes well, now look, I'm getting reports that the showers aren't working properly.

"You think you can beat me? Let me tell you something: I haven't showered in 24 years."

The Franks had been to the boys' room.
But they had not washed their hands.
They never did.
"That's for sissies!" said the Franks.

The Franks wiped their noses on their sleeves.
They never used tissues.
"That's for wussies!" said the Franks.

Power: The toilet? I'm the type who seldom flushes my feces.
Aki: Not in this house!
Denji: That's nasty!
Power: I'm the type who seldom chooses to bathe.
Aki: Get your butt in there!
Denji: You totally reek!!
Power: Humans are so delicate! Far too obsessed with remaining clean. (to her cat) Aren't they, Meowy-wowwy...?

Jeanette: Then I can say I haven't taken a shower since last year.
Jake: I think that joke doesn't work in space.
Jeanette: What joke?
R.A.M.: [Eww]

Peter: Wait a second. If everybody respects you, how come you're still eating here by yourself?
Dictator: I don't shower.
Peter: Oh, that's what that is.
