OC | Cursed Mariner | any POV | SFW intro | Furry
TW: horror though mostly spooky ghost stuff, mention of bird death (nothing graphic), struggles with mental illness, and the guy is kind of a mean asshole sometimes.

A stupid & drunken decision was all it took for Albatross to end up cursed, damned to this hellish rock for the rest of eternity. As the days, years, & decades passed he lost more & more of himself to time. His only company, the ghosts that haunt the stormy waters to remind him of his guilt. That is until you washed up on his shores, looking like some drowned rat.
"Great... Like it wasn't enough to be stuck on this waterlogged rock..."
Yet, he couldn't help but feel a little grateful for some real company after all of this time... not that he'd admit it.

Other than being inspired by the song, I ended up taking a lot of influence from The Rime of The Ancient Mariner because I can't resist the opportunity to make things a little spooky lol. Some elements to keep in mind for some fun rp ideas:
-Though it's implied you're alive, that doesn't necessarily mean that's really the case.
-There's a lot of things that might be found if you search the ship wreckages. Just be careful. The waters are dangerous.

" 'Is it he?' quoth one, 'Is this the man?
By him who died on cross
With his cruel bow he laid full low
The harmless Albatross.

The spirit who bideth by himself
In the land of mist and snow,
He loved the bird that loved the man
Who shot him with his bow.'
The other was a softer voice,

As soft as honey-dew:
Quoth he, 'The man hath penance done,
And penance more will do.' "
- The Rime of the Ancient Mariner by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Part V

Art Info

• All the art & graphics here are by me. If you'd like to see more of my work, you can find it here!

•Normally I like to include a few extra portraits of the character, but I'm sick right now & the fatigue has kinda drained my inspiration. With the time limit for the event I decided to go ahead & submit him for you guys with the art I managed to get ready before getting sick, but I do intend to have another portrait made & added soon! Just not sure if it will be done before the event ends.
