Description
Unusually slender, the dread Captain Integra is an anomalous a pirate lord as he is feared. Incredibly pale, almost the color of snow, Integra is rarely seen but often heard of. Rumors claim his ship is entirely manned by the undead, save for his first mate who is from another planet altogether. The man is rarely seen without his trademark peacoat, with holes singed into it and buttons on the right arm torn off from years of heavy use. He often wears small bands of fabric across his face to obscure his looks, carefully accentuated to match his tricorn hat. The thing rattles with various ornaments gathered from years as a vicious predator. Rumor has it the hat was a gift from his first mate, and he has never been sighted without it.
As a youth, Integra was a cocky young man. He was orphaned or abandoned at a young age, growing up in the Shackles and the surrounding areas, making a life for himself working for any seafarer that would have him. After some time he found himself in the employ of Avimar Sorrinash. After skewering his first mate in a game of Knivesies, Avimar found himself impressed with young Integra's swordplay. It wasn't long before Blackheart made a name for himself. Arriving with Captain Sorrinash's crew of lycanthropes, with Blackheart at the head, the inhabitants of Shark Island began to fear the name Blackheart. The local Sahuagin were happy with Sorrinash, as he allowed them to raid Shark Island at their leisure. However, Integra was not happy with the table scraps he was managed to snatch up. He left Sorrinash's employ and survived as a mercenary.
For a few years, the name Blackheart was quietly uttered in darkened bar-rooms; the young man's claim to power leaving more bloodied toes and fingers than even the most ambitious Chelish coup. Sorrinash had placed a 1,000 platinum piece bounty on the upstart, and the general consensus was that Integra was hiding in the River Kingdoms, disgraced. Until the Free Captain's Regatta. Blackheart appeared on the day of the Regatta, entering a frigate of unknown design. The judges whispered in horror at the site of his mostly undead crew. However, it was the completely sclera-less Undine that he had befriended that truly drew stares. With her at the helm, and extremely unlikely weather conditions (rumor has it the Undine had something to do with it) Integra found himself the newest Free Captain in the Shackles, much to the dismay of Sorrinash.
The bounty on Integra's head was raised to 10,000 platinum, and he was given dominion over a small island to the west of Shark Island. Rumors were in full swing, and Sorrinash was furious that Integra's notoriety was beginning to eclipse his own. "Integra would soon take the reins from the Hurricane King," or "Sorrinash's time is limited." Or worst of all "The Chelish navy fears meeting Integra in Naval combat" Until, Integra's first mate turned him into Sorrinash. Clutching the bag of 10,000 platinum in her tiny webbed hands, the creature just stared as the bound and manacled Blackheart was hauled to his execution. Avimar Sorrinash watched with clear hunger on his face. As Integra sit on his knees, arms tied behind his back and feet shackled together, the cocky youth began to laugh. The Undine shaman began chanting, and in a flash of motion, the Dread Pirate Integra had wormed free of his bindings and produced a dagger. The executioner's axe narrowly slid across the dagger's blade, glancing through a few strands of Integra's hair before falling to the ground, a dagger protruding from the executioner's throat. The Undine stopped chanting for just a moment, long enough to yell out in Aquan, throwing the pistol to Integra. He knew that there was only a 50/50 chance the powder would hold while tumbling through the air, but he looked at his first mate, and couldn't help but feel luck was on his side. A flash of the muzzle pronounced Sorrimar dead, and Integra Blackheart the new Pirate Lord of Shark Island.
Sorrimar's Lycan crew pledged immediate allegiance to their ex-first mate, and his power has only grown in the years since. Though the legend of Captain Blackheart is oft heard told throughout the Shackles, the Captain and his ship haven't been seen publicly for some time. Integra's rise to power was punctuated by a fit of melancholy, and the loss of his first mate. While no one can say where the Undine went, Integra makes it readily apparent that she is gone, perhaps even taking a piece of his heart with her. Without the Undine Shaman, the once-feared Dread Pirate has become almost entirely inactive, the only evidence of his continued activity being the fleet that sails in his name, and pays him tithe.
So begins...
K'gara blinks and looks around blearily
K'gara sniffles as she starts to cry, letting out a mournful howl
Bian Linh Vu hears someone crying and follows the sound
K'gara is trembling with fear, looking around at the unfamiliar surroundings (what does it even look like here? The description is very vague) with her once proud ears folded flat against her head
Elanna Torres looks around, taking in her surroundings.
K'gara is sitting cross legged on whatever passes for the floor here, just sobbing mournfully
K'gara is a nude burly muscular wolfess, her clothing having been left behind in the belly of the beast

“
Oh *sniffle* I really have no idea...*sniffle* Your guess is as good as mine. Last thing I remember was being swallowed whole by a sea serpent so this is probably some part of the afterlife
”
K'gara has her cheeks drenched in tears
Elanna Torres pulled out a small device from her pocket, and checked it over. She pressed the button on the device, and nothing happened.
“
You're dead I'm afraid
”
“
Uhh...what's going on? Who are you people?
”
“
I think we're ghosts...
”
“
I was on my ship, before I wound up here.
”
“
Yeah I got eaten alive by a sea monster
”
“
I don't remember anything...but there's no way I can be dead, I was fine just a little while ago.
