The Hollow Captain

Kept alive solely by his hatred, the Hollow Captain sails the seas in hopes to satisfy his urge for bloodshed.  

Physical Appearance

The Hollow Captain gets his name from his stomach-- or lack there off. The Captain is as pale as a corpse with perpetually wet skin and swollen bulbous eyes. His stomach is nothing but cut open flesh, a spine, and the bottom of his ribcage. His upper chest is still in tact, as is his lower body, but his stomach is wide open. The Hollow Captain uses this to scare his victims. Occasionally he'll drink liquor when boarding a ship, and let it fall straight onto the deck.   The Captain is all bone and no fat. Not literally. He has skin, but there's hardly any meat on his bones. The Hollow Captain is undead. He's a walking corpse that belongs at the bottom of the ocean, yet out of pure force of will, he sails the seas.   The Captain also has a strange navy cloak that is always damp. Seriously, this is a magical property that the cloak has. Even in the hottest place in Distotia, the cloak will still slowly drip, as if it has a leak.  

Mannerisms

The Hollow Captain, even in life, was a strange soul. He laughs at things that aren't even remotely funny. He loves anything that's violent. His ship is a wet mess, and he likes it that way. He plays with his victims, and kills them solely out of boredom. He doesn't care about wealth. He wants to own the seas.  

Legends

Legend has it that The Hollow Captain was once an ordinary sailor who died in a horrific storm. He was betrayed and mislead by the wealthy owners of the boat. Now, they say that his ship can submerge itself completely in the water and still sail. Now, they say that he's on the hunt for any wealthy men foolish enough to sail in his waters.
