Mary Oceaneer is an English sea-captain and celebrated treasure-hunter during the late-19th century. She was born on July 27th, 1870, to very well off parents. Her father owned a railroad company, and her mother was a stay at home mother to Mary and her younger brother, Octavius. She was expected to be the perfect mother and housekeeper and learn at home, while Octavius played with his toys and went to school with other kids. She resented her parents from cutting her off from the world. Her brother unfortunately died of Scarlet Fever when Mary was 12 years old. He died on his 8th birthday in 1882, and it sent Mary into a mental health crisis that lasted into her late teens. The one thing that she and Octavius both loved was the ocean, and she vowed to explore it for him. She has a photo of him in every office and ship she’s ever run, as a reminder of how life can go in a flash. She worked day and night, studying marine biology, mythology, and naval sciences. She has at least a Bachlors in all these fields. On July 30, 1898, at age 28, Mary launched her experimental vessel the R.V. Oceaneer Lab to serve as her flagship. She used the lab to study the ocean and excavate goods from the ocean, leading to her being enlisted as a member of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers. Mary was a member of the Society of Explorers and Adventurers at the same time as Lord Henry Mystic, Harrison Hightower III, Professor R. Blauerhimmel, Jock Lindsey, Charlton J Taboret, Dr. Albert Falls (who has recently gone missing), and Dr. J.L. Baterista. She has the customary fez hat in blue, which is now on display, and a paddle from a tropical retreat the society went on. She even attended the 1899 S.E.A meeting which occurred in the Hotel Hightower in New York City right before Hightower's demise at the hands of Shiriki Utundu. She was reportedly the last person to see him alive, which still spooks her to this day. Later in the same year she made a voyage along the Orinoco River of South America where she was attacked by locals with arrows. She has a scar along her left shoulder and along the left side of her neck because of it. On December 5, 1901, at age 31, Mary did archaeology on the island of Castaway Cay in the Bahamas where she uncovered a pirate sword from a shipwreck which became her favorite blade. Around this period, she also excavated the 18th-century pirate-haven of Shipwreck Cove on the South American island of Shipwreck and the sunken island of Isla de Muerta which she excavated cursed Aztec gold from. In 1904, age 34, she explored the ocean around the Netherlands and Sweden after the tale of a mermaid-turned-human queen started floating around. Along with meeting and speaking to the princess- Ariel- in an interview, she gave Mary her smoking pipe, which both women call a snarfblat. Then, she dove down into the kingdom and got permission to meet King Triton himself by her command. She also met different sailors and merpeople to research their culture, mythology, and society dynamics. And on her own, she dove to the abandoned lair of Ursula the sea witch and stole one of the old contracts, the one belonging to a mermaid named Aquata for a perfect singing voice in exchange for her sight. She wrote a whole book on this adventure and published it, calling it “A Guide to Merfolk” In 1910, at age 40, she met her pet parrot Salty, who was injured and lost near a treasure sight. And he could talk, which made Mary so fascinated, she took him in. She also found the Dead Man's Chest of The Flying Dutchman on this trip. She also has knowledge of the lost nation of Atlantis and is fluent in Atlantean, having “Sail wide, sail true, sail safe” in the language marked across her diving bell. Recently, she was shipwrecked in Castaway Cay in her ship; the M.S. Salty IV, and almost died. However, with Salty’s help, she climbed to her boat that’d crashed on a mountaintop, and contacted the S.E.A for help. She now plans on turning the area into a water park. She and Camellia Falco are the only women in the S.E.A, so she makes an extra effort to make others like her feel safe and like they have the ability to speak among men. When she’s not exploring, she’s out protesting as a suffragette. She’s also the first female member to publish her own books, which includes “Parrots as Pets” and “Charting Course: A Guide to Life on Land and Sea”
