Captain Ryan Warhawk

Write the first paragraph of your page here.
==The Beginning==
The story of The Warhawk is usually whispered by a few men in taverns across the vastness of the Caribbean. Each story is deeply exaggerated since nobody knows the full story of what truly happened. This story begins in 1715 England where an ambitious young man signed on to a treasure fleet thinking it would be his chance to seek adventure but what was truly sought was a raid orchestrated by pirates. The fleet was dead in the water when the fleet arrived in the Caribbean when the pirates staged a raid at the dead of night. Ryan awoke to the fighting and when he arose from below deck he was immediately blown off the ship thanks to a lit powder keg and sent him in the water forcing him to watch as the pirates sacked and destroyed the fleet. Hours after the raid Ryan was drifting slowly across the vast ocean and when he spotted an island drenched in the fog he regrettably swam to it for shelter.
==Marooned==
Arriving on the island Ryan saw destroyed galleons and frigates trapped on the rocks and skeletons on the shore. He sighed and trekked deeper into the island hoping he would find light or even something to sate his thirst. Upon his search, he found tracks that lead into a cave lit up by torches and noises could be heard within. Ryan only armed with a sword ventured into the cave and to his surprise, a camp was there with a lit fire and supplies but where were the occupants? Did any Brits survive? Ryan had no idea but he sat himself down and while warming himself he thought of his home and his life there. After 2 hours he heard two men walk into the cave and suddenly he drew his sword waiting for these men to show themselves in the light. The men reveal themselves to be undead and must have tracked him here in this cave to either kill him or forcibly make him join their ranks. Ryan with whatever might swung his sword but one of them caught it midway to his head and laughed menacingly before letting it slice into his hand and letting go. Ryan looked behind him and saw an exit and ran as fast as he could away from the undead men that had found him and when he reached the forest he kept zig zagging as if to trick his pursuers. Ryan stopped at the top of the hill after exiting the forest and laughed then stepped back and fell through a hole to a bone pile with gold coins all over.
==The Curse==
Ryan who had survived so much, has found himself on a bed of death and other men's ambition. He stood up and saw the light of the moon shine on the pile of bones and as he looked around he saw more bones and even weapons of the fallen. He looked down to seeing his blood drip onto a strange altar in the center and suddenly he couldn't move. His body felt cold and then he saw shadows of men watch as he was brought to his knees. He felt as if he was chained on this pile of bones and thought maybe this was his fate...to die as some sacrificed lamb and be tossed aside. He struggle and felt a his heart slow down but it wouldn't stop him from struggling. The shadows looked at one another and in acceptance they stabbed him until he stopped fighting and Ryan was finally dead. His body although was thrown off the island and into the sea below to feed the sharks that would wait. The sharks however left his body and it drifted the ocean once again but this time it sank down until a ship had taken the now dead Ryan and put him in the captains cabin. Ryan awoke once again suddenly and saw that his body was healed and his chest and his back had scars as if he was treated but by what? He was underwater and he heard tales of the ferry of the damned who would transport lost souls to the underworld. He walked out onto the deck and the crew looked at him as he saw the ocean floor and then as he walked up the steps he saw a man on the wheel who stepped aside and let him sail the ship. Sailing the ship he was unsure if they were able to understand the commands so he gave simple orders like raise sail, lower sail and fire broadside. To his wonder they followed each command and Ryan nodded to his crew to begin a voyage to find a cure for his ailment.
==A Terrible Truth==
The voyage took a total of 7 days and when he reached England he told the crew to wait for his return so he swam to shore and while nobody looked he hid his eyes so he wouldn't scare anyone. He searched for an old shop that handled curses and when he walked in the old man saw the worn clothing and saw a glint of death in his eyes so he instructed Ryan to sit and let him take a look at him. His examination took 2 hours and after recounting the events the man shook his head and gave Ryan a old text that rippe from a book. The text described an offering to the sea and the man explained that the legend says the sea will need a king to watch over it's supernatural side and there can be no reverse to this fate. Ryan was still partially human and even though yes he is now undead that he will retain some humanity so nobody would be afraid of him. He thanked the man and exited and saw the guard surrounding the shop cause someone saw him rise from the sea even though he thought nobody was at the dock. The guard in their numbers pointed their muskets at him and demanded he surrender so like any man should do he did surrender. He was thrown in jail and spent a couple of days inside until a man dressed like a commander walked into the cell and sighed after looking at the now fallen man before him. He revealed to be the captain from the fleet and now showed disdain for the man who is now undead. He told Ryan that he will be their weapon or he will be burned alive but to his likeness Ryan spit in his face in disagreement. The captain took out his knife and dug it in the human side of his face and tore out his eye and tossed it out the window. Ryan did his best to keep himself stable and before the captain could do more damage a cannon ball hit the wall throwing the man forcefully through the bars giving Ryan a chance to escape. He jumped and landed into the ocean noticing he can walk on the ocean floor so he ran to the ship as cannons were fired from both sides. Upon reaching the ship the crew helped him up and he took the wheel making the ship sink below the waves and escaping the British.
==Vengeance==
The beating he took made him see the worse parts of the British army and that made him very pissed off. His crew offered him new clothes that of a dreadful undead captain and then presented him two swords dressed in jagged edges and steel handles. He took both swords and they ignited in flames even though he was underwater and so he gave one order to his crew: Kill Them All. The ship rose from the waves and Ryan saw that a war fleet had been sent out to search for him and to crush him once and for all. The captain had been given a Man o War and wanted to kill Ryan so he could finally put the fleets destruction behind him but Ryan had a plan up his sleeve. Ryan named the ship Iron Mercenary and sailed the ship right into the fleet. The skies became foggy and then a storm rolled in as the Iron Mercenary and the war fleet did battle with mere cannon balls just bouncing off the dreaded war galleon while the fleet began to falter. The crew ignited in song as they sang shanties while doing battle and Ryan sang along hoping the sea loves their tribute. One by one the ships would reach watery graves until it was just Ryan and the captain. Both locked broadsides after broadsides and then they locked into a boarding party. Both sides fought cutlass to cutlass, pistol to pistol, human vs the dead. Ryan ignited hiis swords and cut through the weak British navy like butter but his true prize was to send that damned captain to the seas mercy. Both men locked eye to eye and fought near the wheel with both being master swordsman in their own right. Ryan was being beaten and found himself losing the fight but deep within him he felt like the sea wished for him to unleash his other side. Ryan who was now pushed down only stood up again and revealed the now undead side of him has taken over for the time being and began to wreak havoc on the captain and anyone around him. Both men kept fighting until Ryan ran him through with one of the flaming blades and cooked his heart until it exploded killing the captain easily. The other crew quickly surrendered and Ryan gave the order to send them to the sea. After the battle ended he and the crew jumped aboard the Iron Mercenary and watched as the sharks feasted on the weak.
==A Legend Grows==
4 years after the battle that made the British fear him Ryan had a legend growing that he was the watcher of the seas but he knew he was the king. His crew actively fought the Brits and even the Spanish in keeping the peace. His crew became his family and the sea his home but Ryan wanted a prize that could make his legend become infamous among any other so he hunted a great beast of the ocean: The Leviathan. His search took him all the way to the Nordic coast and deep within caves but then he found its feeding grounds. He followed the trail and soon found the beast destroying Chinese ships and while this was sending more souls to the sea Ryan wanted this as a guardian. He left the ship and soon both beast and man stopped and stared at one another making small gestures. The beast suddenly snatched him up and tried to kill him but after a lengthy battle Ryan sliced off a part of its claw making it drop him. Ryan stood on the ocean floor and as it charged him he yelled stop and the echo itself caused a sea cave to crumble. The beast stopped seeing the flaming sword and Ryan commanded it to follow him and the ship and to be the seas guardian. Ryan walked with the beast and the crew were mighty pleased with this new tiding so they sailed back to the Caribbean. Having returned and with a beast in tow he visited Tortuga to get some well needed rum and when arriving at the tavern he saw a pirate messing with the ladies and after watching him he learned he was a captain and that his name was Jack. Soon a group of men throw Jack onto the floor and berate him cause he was accused of taking more shares of gold so he needed to be taught a lesson. Before one of them could shoot Jack a shot rang out and Ryan had shot that man in the head making the scene that more terrifying. A fight broke out with it being a 2v10 with the bar occupants wanting blood: Their blood. Jack and Ryan improvised with a few of the opponents by making use of the mugs and plates to smash their faces with. Jack who used his wits made a few of them trip while Ryan sent them throw windows when they got up. The last 2 guys standing drew swords and both Jack and Ryan locked swords with them while the women and bartender watched. Jack managed to knock his man out with a bottle while Ryan ran through the other making them win the fight. Jack and Ryan enjoyed some rum but were later chased out due to more men who wanted his head. Both men met at the docks and Jack said his farewells but his eyes went wide when seeing the ship sink below the sea.
==Call of The Sea==
2 years after the ordeal at Tortuga Ryan had sailed the whole ocean and visited many landmarks. But there was one island that showed up named Auradon and this made him uneasy on why it showed up. As he sailed there he spotted another ship and decided to pay it a visit and upon boarding he saw a girl named Angel who was also investigated said island. Having for the first time not killing a crew who least expected them. When reaching the island a unsettling feeling came across Ryan as he searched it knowing there was also another island. There he met a group of strange people and now armed with a trident Ryan obliged to help by meeting some woman named Josephine and kicking in her teeth. Lets say he couldn't cause some being told him to turn back so he did and went back to the group to inform on what it said. After a lengthy conversation Ryan decided to stay while a portal opened and the group vanished.
==Retribution==
Ryan didn't need them or their issues but his mind was wandering and worried if the Caribbean would be in danger. Suddenly one night he had a vision of his death and it may have been tied with that group so as he went back to where that portal was then his ship and crew just sank and died beneath the waves as if it wanted him to stay but he couldn't. He needed to find answers and to kill whoever put him in this position so he made a portal and went through.
