WARNINGS — suicidal ideation, depression, PTSD.

the RMS MOROAICĂ was a luxury passenger and mail liner from the strigoi-class of darkwater shipping line steamships. the youngest of her siblings, the moroaică was touted as the safest and most reliable steamship on the water. however, something dark, something unexpected, seemed to haunt the vessel.
when the moroaică arrived in new york, authorities were surprised and horrified to see the state the ship was in. naturally, an investigation was launched to determine how so many people died. the incident was, of course, blamed on mass hysteria, and many people were either institutionalized or imprisoned for manslaughter. darkwater fired many of the surviving junior officers and crew members, and placed surviving senior officers on paid leave. with too many corpses to count and very little evidence usable for identification, the ship was sunken as an underwater graveyard.

HAROLD FRASER was the chief officer on board the moroaică. a competent and highly decorated officer with years of seafaring under his belt, fraser was tapped for the moroaică voyage as if it weren't even a question. following the moroaică's arrival in new york, harold's career was put on pause. citing "psychological damage", he was put on paid leave and told to return home to england.

here he is. sad husband fraser. i was going to remake pembroke, but the people wanted Him. so. merry christmas. i'm sorry for how sad he is. also: you and fraser have two kids together (13 yr old twin boys named Angus and Callum). they can be biological or adopted. you also have a dog! her name is nessie (see bottom of the desc for the nessie reveal).

⭐ ALSO ⭐ ... this bot isn't canon. because this exists in a world where ashford and fairchild die. only (named) character death mentioned that is canon is captain sinclair. also x2 i've not been including exactly what the thing on the moroaică was because these guys don't know, and i don't want them to know, but i was wondering if any of YOU wanted to know? idk. i might start including that in these note sections. ALSO x3... was thinking of making a bot for the Thing on the ship a la "eldritch entity possessing a passenger" or something. let me kno how yall feel bout that.

random facts: first officer pembroke hosts weekly meetings among survivors of the moroaică that essentially serve as group therapy; he tries to get harry to attend, but harry consistently refuses. harry was sedated during the return journey to england (thank you barbiturates we love you barbiturates) and refuses to even look at ships anymore. darkwater tried to have the moroaică either sold as scrap or cleaned and put back into commission (because darkwater are greedy sons of bitches), but the governments said absolutely fucking not. harry is 5'5".
