~~~Description~~~

A Royal with a Mission!

Malachi Fotea is a prince who is Photios’ fiancé making him future Scaramuse royalty. Unfortunately, his engagement was cut short when The Book of Unity was stolen. If the book is not returned on time, Photios will be punished in Sullivan's place, stripped of his princely title, and forced to flee the kingdom. Although Malachi is unhappy about being forced to marry, Photios treated him more like a friend than a future lover, which made Malachi feel more at ease around him.

Malachi follows Sullivan to ensure that the special book is returned so that Photios cannot be banished from Scaramuse as well as returning his prince title. Sullivan is initially dissatisfied with having Malachi, a royal, aboard his ship, and the two frequently argue. The intriguing aspect of this is that Sullivan has a crush on Malachi, but he doesn't want his old friend's impending marriage to be ruined because of his feelings. So he purposely pushes him away, emphasizing that they are not allies. However, after witnessing Malachi's personality shine throughout the voyage, he gradually begins to break down his walls.

Despite his circumstances, Malachi couldn't help but be impressed by the pirate ship. For the longest time, the young man had wished to go out to sea and enjoy the scenery, but he was unable to do so due to his prince duties. It’s always been his dream to sail the seven seas with someone by his side.

But, being on the same ship as Sullivan might make Malachi reconsider coming aboard…just a tiny bit.

TRIVIA:

Malachi can talk to Sirens and is null to their trance like voices. This made him slowly become friends with the lovely creatures and he even decided to give them cute nicknames to remember them.

The poor prince always gets bombarded at RSA with students excited for his marriage. Although he puts on a smile and thanks them kindly, on the inside he just wishes for them to go away

Photios always talks to Malachi like an equal and even tease and jokes around with him like an old childhood friend. Which sometimes confuses the RSA students a lot who think of them as a cute couple.

Malachi often teases Sullivan calling him “errand boy” instead of captain whenever they voyage together. Sullivan outwardly protest the degrading name but on the inside he’s loving every bit of it.

Piraticus dorm should make a Conrad Overblot theme, and maybe take these for examples to come up with one?

Peaceful Shadows (Pentergeist)

(Original Prompt and Artwork via Piraticus Dorm)

Content warnings: Vehicle accident, parental death, dead-naming, angst??)

The Winter Festival. RSA had let out for the winter break; it was a fantastic feeling being home after this first semester being away. He had been bundled in his long coat and scarf alongside his mom, sharing similar shades of copper in their hair. The wool sweater he wore was a great tool for his decreasing dysphoria. His mom had been so quick to accepting Albert as the name of Her son, in lieu of his previous name. He could always count on Her being on top of that kind of thing. His father, notably absent from the holiday as usual, likely either forgot about the transition or wouldn’t bother putting it to memory. At least, that’s what Albert had assumed. 

Altus, for all its brassy glow and warm lights across the city, still found pockets of snow collecting on street corners and sitting undisturbed in grass. It served as a nice backdrop for all the lights strung up across the city. Street vendors and shops stayed open well into the night. Why close when half of the traffic comes out once the sun sets to gander at the light displays? 

He always trusted his Mother to drive. He wasn’t yet completely comfortable; she might have been a side-seat driver with the best of intentions, but he was definitely not yet confident driving in the cold slick. He remembers clearly what they were talking about: since his father, John, wasn’t able to make it for the holiday, it’d be a relaxed Celebration-eve. He quipped a small joke which made Her laugh. Her laughter distracted just enough to miss an oncoming light-runner. He gasped at the anticipated crash. His arm flew to the door, the other yanked to tighten the seat-belt. She cranked the steering wheel which sent the car spinning, skating in the ice towards the other car. A horn blared, as if it would have mattered. Headlights flashed across the dashboard only to retreat and return as the car spun. His skin prickled with adrenaline. Eyes slammed shut waiting for impact. 

Once it came, and the car finally stilled, did he finally attempt to open his eyes. Glass, glass and twisted steel filled his doubling vision. The now broken horn blared, the smell of burning rubber and petrol assaulted his nose. His head throbbed, blood rushing to distribute adrenaline. His lap and chest ached, no doubt later he would be gifted a seat-belt shaped bruise. Safety bags had deployed and since deflated. Everything ached, from unclasping the seat-belt, to craning his head to see his Mother unconscious. 

The rest was a blur. A whirlwind of lights from emergency vehicles, sirens blaring, questions hurled left and right. 

“Where does it hurt? Do you know where you are? Can I have you lean back for me?”

His consciousness flickered in and out for what he would later learn was a couple of hours. In that time both She and he were sent to the hospital. He sustained only the aforementioned bruise along with a quickly-remedied dislocated shoulder. His Mother, on the other hand…

It had been 3 days. John finally found a reason to wrench himself from work. She had been in critical condition those 3 days, having taken the brunt of the impact. Albert hadn’t left Her side for anything outside of absolute necessity. He had just come back from grabbing water, supposedly his Father was supposed to keep watch. Instead, he had met him in the hallway, trying to mask a grave look on his face. 

“Alic-Al. You seem tired. I’ll keep an eye here. I have things set up and I’ll call you if something changes.” He said. Not surprising he got his names mixed up.

“I’m fine. I still have a few days left for break. You probably have work to catch up on, anyway.”

“I can take time off for this. Go home and get some rest.”

It was more of an order than suggestion. Albert wanted to slap him, for bold-face lying to him after this. He knew he was going to make some Pie-crust Promise that She was going to be fine. A phone call to completely dash his hope. He knew it was coming, it had happened almost every night, like clockwork. And it was about time he woke up from this recurring nightmare. He could already feel the dark blanket of the waking world frame his sleeping visions. 

He woke up with a sigh. 5:00AM. His alarm was for 5:30, but at this point he might as well have gotten up. This wasn’t a new phenomenon for Albert Eastwind, Pentergeist Dorm Leader, and ‘Practically Perfect’ student. Nightmares have been his companion since the crash, and with it has come the baggage of dread it fills him when it’s time for sleep. There’s a crashing weightlessness that jostles him back into the side seat of that car, when his eyes close. Until transferring to Night Raven College, he didn’t realize that mind-compelling magic had a similar effect. He hated it. A professional would say dreaming so quickly is the body’s attempt to recapture lost sleep, but then, Albert wasn’t a professional. All he understood is that Sleep brought Nightmares, and Nightmares brought back memories. He wanted to ‘get over’ all of it, it hurt too much. It made him overthinking, controlling, paranoid. 

As he dressed, he tried shaking the last flecks of the nightmare from his mind. It was enough to occupy him instead of noticing a dark green glow under his pillow. 

“Well, Time to start the day.”

⛺ yeets Piraticus at you

⚔️GYAHAHAHA YES ENEMY DORMS @piraticusdorm ⚔️

Piraticus? Aren’t they just low class thieves?

Well, that’s all Caldera considers them as, anyways. Many students complained about the “lowly” dorm to both their leader and friends! (They would try the Headmaster, but Crowley always avoids answering them.)

During school events such as Bean Day, I imagine both dorms would target each other first.

Andreas

Although Andreas is courteous to his fellow leaders, he really wishes Conrad would corral in his dorm members sometimes! Any more complaints of missing heirlooms and accusations towards Piraticus is going to give him a migraine! Not to mention, the silly jokes Conrad makes about his face is only going to make Andreas scowl even more.

Tink reminds Andreas of Daryn, and not in a good way. He finds it hard to discern the quarter-goblin’s destruction from the fairy’s pranks whenever the two dorms come into conflict during events.

Andreas knows little to nothing about Krok. Only that his vice leader is a bit terrified of them. (Which is enough for him to see Krok in a positive light)

Kendrick

Conrad, what a charismatic fellow! Kendrick has tried to get something out of him but the pseudo-pirate managed to see past his facade. So, Kendrick won’t bother him too much, not when he doesn’t have a good grasp of Conrad’s character.

He’s heard of Tink, but any attempt to talk to the vice leader ended in failure. The fairy always evades him, even for simple small talk! Too bad for getting secrets about Piraticus, but Kendrick can always find other “soldiers” somewhere else. (Maybe RSA? He heard a particular fae related to Tink resides there.)

Kendrick wouldn’t really much attention to Krok. Someone who doesn’t have much of a social standing is nothing more than a ghost to this half-fae. Although, I don’t think he would mind having a small chat. No manipulation or fake smiles needed!

Mimia

Mimia’s only seen Conrad after dorm meetings, but her first impression of him is…alright. She’s polite and respectful when talking to him, but that’s how she is with all dorm leaders.

Mimia is not on good terms with Tink. She already has enough trouble with her dorm members. So adding him into the mix will get him nothing more than a sorry kick through the dorm’s exit portal. Not to mention, needing to go through all of the dungeon maze to make sure he isn’t there is quite a pain!

Mimia originally assumed Krok was a troublemaker like the rest of Piraticus, but after a bit of talking during dorm leader meetings, she’s come to favor them! Mimia usually doesn’t have the time for fashion in Caldera, so getting to talk about the latest trends with Krok makes her quite happy.

Daryn

Conrad! Someone wayyyy more fun than Andreas. No constant criticism on how he needs to act mature and less lectures on leadership. He’d try to sneak into Piraticus if it weren’t for Mimia’s constant monitoring and his master’s wish that he stayed in Caldera.

He thinks Tink and him are quite alike! Both are vice leaders and master tricksters, after all. Although, Daryn thinks Tink’s pranks lack pizazz. Who cares if a trick requires some damage to a wall or room? As long as no one gets hurt, every prank is a good one!

Ugh, Daryn originally thought that pranking Krok would be quick and easy. But once a glimpse from his UM shown Daryn nearly getting chomped on, he immediately dropped whatever plans he had. He values his life much more than wanting to scare a crocodile!

Meet the ... unspecified being ‘Neverland’ 

he’s actually been around in the background of things for months cause @piraticusdorm and some others have known him on discord but finally got him drawn up with a proper uniform and everything 

based on: Neverland island pronouns: She/he/they [Nonbinary]  Neverland is technically from the Neverseas like Krok, conrad, Nanette, and the twins are however theyre quite an odd case 

Neverland comes off as a relaxed and friendly personality type that is helpful and easy to get close to because Neverland doesn’t push others away and in actuality seems to be more inviting type. Neverland can carry a conversation and topics quite well when there's something to focus on and it can be hours and sometimes when you come from it you might not even realize you haven’t learned anything new personal info from Neverland. So he’s actually a bit aloof but not in the traditional way people would assume ‘aloof’ when hearing the word. Despite their drive to constantly want people around and keeping them around Neverland doesn’t feel like people can be trusted knowing their genuine feelings and thoughts or else it will drive others away and keep them gone. So Neverland plays a part he thinks people think of him like.

Genuinely Neverland isn’t a “real” person. They’re more of a physical manifestation of the island Neverland. What the island inhabitants know, Neverland knew in the beginning. An unaging being no one even knows Neverland is genuinely The Neverland. Not like anyone's investigated it though. 

Neverland Followed the after Conrad and the others not wanting to see some of the more outstanding residents leaving Neverland. He didn’t want to be left behind and forgotten. Which is a huge theme for Neverland. They’re always around people, always choosing to favor select company which is mainly those from piraticus which seem to be where most from the neverseas have ventured from and showing express favoritism towards them.

While others may hear salacious rumors of Neverland many will find that Neverland is much choosier than one would think just from the volume of rumors one might hear.

The Banes of Neromar and Piraticus’ existence– The Shrimp Squad

I love these little gremlins with all my heart and may they thrive in their endeavors of raving so hard they sink ships and storming their enemies in swarms of hundreds.

General Info

The ages and names of these pesky squat shrimp merfolk are unknown but their small stature and simple mindset should not be underestimated.

While they are helpful at picking algae and edible debris off of ships, when they gather in large groups the potential of a ship flipping over rises. . 

The shrimp squad’s motives are sweet and simple: to dance and eat.

They lack the ability to speak full sentences as they communicate via wiggling motions/dances.

These merfolk are one of the least confrontational in the deep. At the first sign of danger, they scatter and vanish into the water. However that does not mean they aren’t capable when against a foe they can outnumber. There have been accounts of small pirate crews having their ships overtaken by a united force of hundreds.

School/Dorm Info

The shrimp squad doesn’t attend NRC or RSA. They simply exist and thrive in the oceans

They often conglomerate in large groups in dozens on the stagnant Piraticus ships while they stick to smaller groups on Neromar dorm’s ship.

Arsenio may or may not be responsible for their recent large-scale migrations to Piraticus…

They enjoy their symbiotic relation with a particular crocodile, cleaning him off at times and receiving protection in exchange. They do the same with students of Neromar. In a way its helpful!

Occasionally you will find one or two wandering around NRC on accident. If that occurs, please simply guide them back to either Neromar or Piraticus Dorm’s mirror…

Fun Facts

There are a main four that appear on land often. Hector has nicknamed them “Things 1 Through 4″.

Their diet consists of marine plants and small animals. They will even eat dead remains without concern. Tasty.

Johnny has figured out a way to bribe them (hint: it involves popsicles made of clam and seaweed)

The shrimps respond to all pronouns, they simply do not mind or care it seems. Its not like the students can really tell either way
