Mariam Azure

* Arc 1
* Masquerade Attire

 —Eepy

**Mariam Azure**, normally just called Mariam, is a Air Genasi Warlock under patronship with The Great Old one. He is also the only one in the party who has a gun. He is played by Klaus.

Mariam is a pirate, and due to his amnesia that's the only part of his life that he remembers. Despite his crew being a fairly well known one, it’s unclear whether or not Mariam himself was actually responsible for their success as his talents at being a pirate captain is questionable.However, he is still an extremely successful and ruthless fighter who holds back a lot less than the rest of the party.

## **Description**

### Appearance

Mariam is an Air Genasi with steel grey skin, black eyes, and loosely curled light blue hair pushed back poorly by a black headband. At the beginning of the second arc, his hair gained a black streak after Eepy drained magic from him. He wears dangly earrings on both ears and also has double conch piercings on his right ear. When casting certain spells, his eyes glow a bright yellow.

He has an array of scars across his body from pirating experience, including a terribly done top surgery done by his boyfriend, Amber. The most recent scar is on his left hand from his last encounter with Eepy. He has a large tattoo of a poppy on his chest, extending from just below the collarbones to above his bellybutton. He has a bellybutton piercing as well.

He wears an eggshell colored poet’s shirt tucked into a maroon corset. A belt hangs at his waist that holds his gun as well as his pet rat. Underneath the corset is a black fabric wrapped around his waist. He wears brown pants with light vertical stripes that are tucked into a pair of black boots. He wears fingerless gloves and various rings on his hands.

### Personality

Its a disorder.

Mariam tends to think rather highly of himself when it comes to his abilities but those around him don’t see him the same way. Though well-liked by his crew, according to Amber, they seem to be thriving without his guidance. As a captain, Mariam tends to fall short on having any leadership abilities, and he is aware of this fact. Despite this, he is excessively defensive about his position and feels as if he’s being undermined if someone disagrees with him.

Mariam always has to be right or it can cause him to spiral. If he makes a wrong decision or comes to the wrong conclusion, realizing this makes him shut down, and he suddenly starts to think of himself as pathetic and worthless.

He’s blunt and sarcastic and frequently insults party members or NPCs for seemingly no reason, with Saffron being one of his main targets. Mariam frequently lies to the party and disregards their opinions, and because of that, angers them fairly easily. Mariam also struggles with rage issues, frequently blowing up over small things and usually turning towards violence as a first resort, whether it be to a party member or an NPC. He’s reckless and impulsive and tends to make rash decisions when upset.

Occasionally, after speaking with his patron, Mariam loses touch with reality, becoming easily panicked, irrational, and seemingly unaware of his surroundings and what he says. He becomes hyper-focused on a singular topic in the encounter with his patron and is near impossible to bring back to normal.

## Biography

### Background

Mariam has no memory of his life up until five years ago. He learned in reading Lyric Songspire’s memory about his former captain, Abram, who died in the executions on Haven. Besides this, he has no recollection of a family, former crew, hometown, or anything else. What Mariam does remember before five years ago includes a very basic understanding of who he is (name, pronouns, etc.) and a member of Abram’s former crew, Amber, who he had a crush on at the time. Mariam made a pact with the Great Old One with unknown stipulations, giving him his magic and leaving him the sole survivor of Haven sinking into the ocean.

After taking over a marine vessel, Mariam began to build a crew of his own, taking in essentially anyone who wandered onto his ship. Soon after becoming a captain, he reunited with Amber who had become a captain himself, and they began dating on and off.

Mariam was sent on this quest to return an IOU to Amber’s right hand man, nicknamed Bird Facts. He was introduced sitting in the wagon opposite Saffron, trying to not become more irritated with Saffron having his feet up right next to him.
