WELCOME to the Whostie Intropost!
What is Whostie? My current biggest brainrot ship consisting of Wickam and Ghostie, of course. So let me ramble about my two beloved characters so I can be insufferable about them here too.
Wickam Crossgane
The most infamous pirate of his time, Wickam Crossgane is the captain of The King's Fate. Besides being known for the countless crimes he and his crew committed, he is also known for the atrocious things he does when it comes to the royal navy. Only a few live to tell the tale of his bloodthirsty rampages. If it was on him, he wouldn't leave any survivors.
He took some control over Crossgane (an island he named himself), which is considered one of the major centers of piracy. The island is in an area which not many maps show, giving pirates advantage when it comes to hiding. A lot of illegal goods are being traded here and quite the money is being spent in the taverns around town... Which he might or might not profit off of. But we don't talk about that, do we?
Wickam comes off as terrifying at first and he surely has a temper, but he can be quite lovely... if you're on his good side, of course. He also cares a lot about the people around him, mostly his crew. He easily notices if something is off, his emotional intelligence is surprisingly high. But when it's about the people who wronged him, he doesn't believe in mercy. While he won't do pointless hunts (unless he's in the mood), he won't spare a single soul if their paths ever cross again.
Yet after all of this, he likes to keep his distance. There are not many who he considers a friend, and even fewer who he calls family. The pain of losing someone he cares so much about is too much for him, it's easier to simply not make connections. But oh how he longs for the comfort one can only find in others.
Ghostie (aka Irus Fiske)
The mysterious lady of the island, or perhaps you know her as "that annoying ghost". Many people have claimed they saw her decades ago and yet, she hasn't aged a bit. She appears in many places, with many names; Arlene, Ivory... Ghostie.
Oh how the mighty Irus Fiske has fallen. Once the captain of the Pearl Serpent, now just a faint ghost who haunts the island of Crossgane. A ghost with many lost memories, trying to recollect some things from the past; like her name.
At first glance, she might seem like a trickster, here to cause chaos and revel in it. And on a second glance, she talks way too much and loves to stick around. But who could blame her after spending so many years without having anyone who listens? She is eager to make new connections. And oh how she wishes to be free from the visions from the past and finally be able to make new memories.
You might wonder, just how did they meet?
It's a funny story, really, especially if you ask Ghostie who's so eager to tell you how Wickam shot at her. He, of course, is not too fond of this intro. (but it's also not wrong.................)
Wickam's adoptive son, Saye, who can sense the undead alerts him that hey! There's a ghost in town! But I am terrified of it so can you do something about it- (he never tells him what to do so our captain here is completely clueless) So Wickam, as one does, goes out and threatens the ghost to leave and what else can he do than to attempt to shoot at her to send a message? Of course it does nothing besides 1. leave a hole on the wall and 2. make the ghost laugh. She introduces herself as Ghostie, and the two start to chat. Rookie mistake, because now Wickam cannot get rid of this ghost who annoys him to no end. They talk, they get closer, they slowly fall in love and then they slowly start to unpack the shit they've been both bottling up and helping each other through it. Oh yeah and the horrors are there too-
Wickam and Ghostie are really close; in short two very different and lonely people finding comfort in each other. Wickam often pushes others away, afraid to make meaningful connections as he fears losing those he cares for (again). It's easier to keep to himself than to grow close to someone and relive the crushing pain. While Ghostie is, well, a ghost who doesn't really reach out to others thanks to the betrayal that killed her and turned her into the ghost she is today. She doesn't really want to form long lasting connections both out of fear and both because she knows she is just a ghost. And yet here they are, in love.
They don't see each other that often as Ghostie is tied to the island she died on and Wickam is out on month long voyages, so they spend every bit of time together they can. Big scary pirate captain turned softie whenever he's with her. They are very soft and sweet in general, they care a lot for each other.
I think that is all for a general overview AND I'm hoping to post more lore related content this year on every social media of mine so I'm hoping to share more of them with yall here :3c
