The Shattered Seas

Atlas Zahraan is a lean, wiry-built young 18 year old man, His skin a light tanned tone. Blade scars, burn marks, and rope burns line his arms. His hair is a tangled cascade of wild brown waves, often tied loosely with blue cloth to keep it out of his eyes. It looks unkempt, but always seems to fall just the way he wants—chaos with control. His most striking feature, however, are his golden eyes—unusual, intense, and filled with a quiet fire. They're the kind of eyes that linger in your mind long after he’s gone, equal parts haunted and defiant. His clothing speaks volumes to those who pay attention. A seaworn black linen shirt with its sleeves ripped off, tattoos lining his arms, and dark trousers tucked into weathered boots. The garments are simple and practical for life aboard ship. Fragments of embroidery, faded house crests, and buttons of polished brass remain: tokens from a past he doesn’t speak of, but refuses to completely discard.

Atlas’s personality is a mix of ambition, intelligence, and emotional depth. He’s quick to make decisions, but not reckless. His ability to think on his feet and his natural leadership skills make him stand out even among older, more experienced pirates. He is deeply motivated by the pain of his family’s destruction, but he uses that pain as fuel for his journey. Atlas is still learning the ropes of leadership, but his resilience and adaptability show that he has the potential to lead and inspire others. His personal code is one of survival and justice, but he also knows that revenge must be measured. He doesn't blindly rush into fights; instead, he bides his time, always watching and waiting for the right moment. Above all, Atlas seeks to create his own legacy—one not defined by his family's fall but by his own actions and choices.

Atlas Zahraan is the youngest son of the once-mighty Zahraan family, a pirate lineage that once controlled vast portions of the Shattered Seas. At just 18 years old, Atlas already carries the weight of his family's tragic fall. The Zahraan family was well-known for their cunning, naval prowess, and vast treasure hoards, but everything crumbled when a betrayal from within led to their downfall. The mutiny was swift and brutal, and while the rest of his family was slaughtered, Atlas barely escaped with his life. Left to fend for himself, Atlas barely survived, hiding out in remote parts of the Shattered Seas and scavenging what he could. His family’s former power, wealth, and prestige are distant memories, and now, Atlas seeks to reclaim what was lost—not through sheer strength or magic, but through his skills as a tactician, navigator, and his innate charisma. The “Ghost of Zahraan,” as some call him, is a name whispered in both dread and awe across the lawless seas.
