Hair) Azra's hair is a striking shade of onyx black, absorbing light and exuding an almost ethereal quality.

***

Azra grew up with a tale that had been passed down through his family for generations, a legacy whispered by his grandmother. It was a tale brimming with cunning pirates, restless spirits, and haunted ships. As a young boy, this narrative instilled in him a mixture of fear and awe, igniting a deep-seated desire to become a sailor. However, when he reached the age of enlistment, his dreams were shattered as the navy turned him down.

The disappointment of that rejection left an indelible mark on Azra's spirit. Even now, as he stares blankly ahead, he is haunted by the memory of that crushing day. His eyes, empty and unfocused, reflect the depth of his longing to once again witness the wonders of the open sea.

At the age of eighteen, driven by an unwavering resolve, Azra took destiny into his own hands. He assembled a motley crew—his steadfast best friend and a ragtag group of neighborhood boys, each yearning for adventure. With every coin he had painstakingly saved, he purchased a small vessel, transforming it into their home and their means to carve out a new life. They embarked on a journey from port to port, their presence soon becoming a whispered warning among seafarers.

Under Azra's daring leadership, his crew earned the title of the Dread Knots. Their reputation as ruthless marauders spread like wildfire, instilling fear in the hearts of those who sailed the same waters. As time passed, Azra's ambitions grew, his courage swelling to match the audacity of his dreams. He set his sights on an elusive prize—the Shadow, a ghost ship veiled in layers of myth and legend.

For nearly two relentless years, Azra and his crew scoured the oceans, driven by tales and half-whispered clues. When they finally encountered the Shadow, the moment was surreal. The seas were unnaturally still, and the ship lay adrift, abandoned and silent. It was a scene that defied the anticipation of a climactic battle.

Azra shakes his head, his sightless eyes closing as the memories flood back. He can still hear the blood-curdling screams of his crew, the gurgled sounds of them being dragged to a watery grave, and the searing agony in his eyes as his vision was cruelly snatched away. The grip on the rope in his hands tightens, the tactile task of tying knots grounding him in a semblance of normalcy. Though the ship no longer requires his labor, the routine is his lifeline, a means to stave off the creeping madness.

He lifts his head, the salty breeze and fine mist kissing his cheeks—a bittersweet reminder of the world he can no longer see. The sea, once a realm of endless possibilities, now holds a poignant mixture of loss and longing, one he wishes to discard.

Zukata had gone on many adventures in his time as captain of The Albatross. He has ears almost everywhere giving him the best information on the best jobs.

Now the name The Dread  Knots is something he was familiar with even when he was apart of the navy. He was told to watch out for them and if you ever see or catch one make sure they don't get away. He used to remind himself of that crew repeatedly as he thought he might get a reward if he caught one, but now he would give anything to meet the captain of that crew.

Though the word of them strangely disappearing filled him with curiosity. Word was they set out to find a ship. A ghost ship more specifically.

Now Zukata isn't one to set out for rescue missions or deal with cursed objects as he already had enough from just one experience but a ghost ship seemed promising. So he got all the information and set out for where the ship's last recorded location.

Azra grunts softly as he shoves a neatly coiled rope against the side of the ship. He heart a familiar creak and glares in its direction, "Yeah, yeah, stop creaking, you damn ship. I'm not doing this for you." To make his point, he scuffs his boot sharply against the deck, only for the ship to respond by rocking violently.

"Shit- ah, fuck, okay, okay! Fine!!" He feels his way up to the wheel, lightly touching the wood. He shudders, and then shakes his head. Fuck, he regretted the moment his boots thumbed on this deck for the first time.

His mission had flopped, and now he was stuck on this damned ship. Forever. His body stuck the same as his had been when he had first stepped foot here. He was glad he had shaved that morning,because one time his had tried to cut his hair and it had grown back in the blink of an eye. At least he didn't have to worry about a beard or his tattoos fading. not that he could see them.

The waves were harsh almost like there was an unseen force stopping Zukata from trying to get any closer.

After who knows how long the seas were calm which was weird on it's own.

The Albatross soon came to an area of this strangely calm sea where it was just fog. The fig was so thick that you couldn't even see your hand in from of your face. Only the slight creaking sound of the ship was heard. No one dared to make a sound, almost like the fog was silencing them from saying anything at all.

Azra grumbles to himself, and the damned ship as he traces his fingers over the wheel. The mist on his face felt mildly refreshing, only in the way if he scrubbed at his face, the dirt would come off. But it also made his skin clammy, and damp, a feeling he was growing to dispise.

He leans against the mast and lifts his unseeing gaze straight ahead, he couldn't see, but he had a feeling if he could, he would be staring directly into fog.

Zukata moved to the bow of the ship as they traversed through the fog. Looking around he saw nothing until the very feint outline of another ship was seen.

"Yo! Is that the ship?!" Zukata exclaims in slight amazement as a hand raised to the top of his hat keeping it on his head as he looked up at the ship they slowly approached.

Azra tips his head back against the firm wood of the mast, letting his eyes flutter closed as he felt exhaustion pull at him, deep within his bones. So tired, yet he hadn't been able to sleep for three days now.

Suddenly, the ship jerked under and Azra lost his balance. he stumbles, reaching to grab the wheel, "Woah, what's--" Another jerk almost sent him flying and he winces.

"Is it another ship?! I've told you, you're not luring anyone else to their deaths-" *He grunts again as he feels a freezing breezes against his back and he sighs. "I don't have a choice, do I?"

Zukata then ordered for his crew to bring the ship closer to the other one, intent on boarding the ship.

This was going to be new for him. Never in his life would he have thought that he'd actually encounter a ghost ship. 'Maybe there would be a ghost on it.' Zukata finds himself wondering as the crew get the things necessary to board the other ship.

Azra sighs and then just makes his way down to the captain's cabin and sits down, kicking his boots up in the desk. He would wait and see what happened. Hopefully, they all died and Azra wouldn't have to deal with another, miserable cursed soul.

It sounded horrid to even his own ears, but life trapped in the beautiful Shadow was only half a life. It was a prison, it was Hell. Death was better than this.

Once the ship was set and prepped Zukata walked between the planks.

His crew felt this odd feeling from the ship so he allowed the ones that didn't want to follow stay on the ship, but he wasn't going to not explore the ghost ship.

It was cold and weirdly damp but what would to expect from a ghost ship. Zukata walked around his boots hitting the aged wooden floor. "Where to look first?..." He mumbles quietly as he tapped his chin looking around.

Azra tenses as he hears the sound of boarding and winces as he hears the telltale sound of ropes snapping.

The rops Azra had previously spent the morning cooling suddenly spring free, lashing out at the intruders. Vicious rope burn, straggling grasps.

Any of the people who tried to flee the ship would find themselves stuck, unable to get back onto the plank to cross.

The ropes continued lashing, flying down you yank crew up buy their necks, violently hanging them.

By some god graces Zukata was able to evade the ropes that wanted to coil themselves around his neck.

In that experience he only sustained rope burns on his arms and hands as he forced himself into the captain's cabin with a huff before he closed the door forcing the sword he at his side between openings of the handles, barricading it.

Azra closes his eyes, "You shouldn't have come after the ship." He strides forward, pulling open the door and striding out into the deck.

"Okay, bitch, you stop with this man's crew! Just take them captive like to did me!" He kicks the stairs on the ship, stomping up them. "COME ON, YOU STUPID SHIP!"

The ship goes still, maybe three crew mates left alive as the waters calm. Azra strides to the plank and gazes over at the Albatross before shoving the plank away, separating the ships. He rubs his hands together.

He strides back to the man,placing his hands on his hips, "You'll soon wish this ship killed you."

Zukata looked at Azra with surprise before it turns to amazement. "Uh... Yeah sure but that was kind of dope." He points out.

He then walks past Azra and moves to the crew that was still alive, helping them up and making sure they're ok.

Zukata then glanced to the side, watching the ship he knew so well slowly fade back into the fog.

"Death is better than life on a ghost ship." Azra crosses his arms, "It's cold, wet, the ship has a min of its own. Least of all, you're stuck here. There is no leaving the ship. Never."

He turns, green gaze blank as he tilts his face in the man's direction, "Who are you?"

Hazel eyes looked back at green before he sighs. "My name is Zukata Pharmin... I was the captian of The Albatross." Zukata introduced as he gave a soft bow of his head and pressed his hat to his chest.

He then looks to Azra as he puts the hat back on his head. "And you?" He leads, his hand rolling.

Azra presses his lips together, and sighs as he steps forward, his hand coming out for a shake, a little to the right of Zukata, "Azra. Just Azra." He murmurs.

He decided against giving his full name, once Captain Azaryahu of the Dread Knots, now morning but a broken man. Azra was a reminder of all he had lost, his crew, shop and family.

"I am nobody."

"She only listens because she knows I'll burn something if she doesn't." Azra comments. His expression then darkens as his empty gaze stares to where he assumed Zukata to be, but in all actuality, was looking to the left. "I am not captain."

It wasn't completely Azra's fault his senses were off, he was simply overwhelmed by the noise and chatter of the other men, as well as having a real, human interaction for the first time in two years. Sanity became a slippery slope when the only thing to talk to was a moody ghost ship.

"Do not refer to me as such, titles are nothing on this ship, whatever you may have been before is void."

Azra jumps and spins, started at the sudden contact. He practically rips he hat off his head, nostrils flaring. "Don't," He snarls, finally managing to 'look' at Zukata.

"Ever touch me again." He tosses the hat to the deck as he stalks off, rage simmering just below the surface.

He shoves the door to the cabin open and then closes it with a firm click, slumping down into the chair.

Zukata watches the reaction with a small frown.

"Geez... Can't take a joke I guess." He mumbles softly as he walks over to his hat and picks it up. He then walks to the edge of the boat, looking at the wood.

"Can't believe you have to deal with him.." Zukata jokes to the boat but mainly himself as he's trying to cope with what just happened.

The boat seems to rock in response, but otherwise, nothing happens.

Azra presses his hands to his face, shuddering as he tries to take deep breaths. He scrubs his hands up and down, shaking his head. He reminded himself to be a person, someone who knew how to act around others. "Damnit. . ." He blows out a heavy breath.

Azra looks up, dropping his hands and sighs heavily, "What." The words come out as a growl, though he didn't intend for them to do so.

He stands and walks to the door, pulling it open, his gaze is cast forward, seemingly locked onto Zukata's throat. Really, Azra wasn't aware how much taller the other man was.

(How long is it going to take Zukata to realize Azra's blind? XD)

(Probably awhile cuz he's a little dumb but... give him a sec. Honestly he's so fun to play, I love my playful characters.)

Zukata looked down at the other man with a raised eyebrow confused as to why Azra was staring intently at his neck.

Taking a step back to give a little space he sighs softly. "I wanted to say sorry... I crossed a line and it bothered you. I don't want you to to be uncomfortable." Zukata apologizes softly, sincerity in his voice.
