Cat Leonidas Casseiopeia

Cat is a tall, somewhat lanky teenaged humanoid, with unusually sharp teeth. They like fruit juice, fire, and exploring. Rarely will one see the ex-Captain of the Vixen's Fury wearing footwear since the ghost really hates shoes. They are a friendly fellow that can often be seen playing with their green fire in the tavern.

Backstory
Although Cat's original home is unknown, it is known that they ran away from it and spent some time wandering. They served on various ships, usually as a cabin boy or deckhand. One day, however, Cat grew tired of letting others bully them and tell them what to do, and stole a small clipper.

They crewed a group of teenagers and sailed the world for a year and a half, making the high seas unsafe as pirates. And with great success, too. Their youth and free spirit gave them an advantage over those stuck in their old ways. Things went really well and they lived a good life together until a rogue wave wrecked Cat's ship. They were separated from the rest of the crew, who they to this day don't know if they're alive or not.

After the wave, they washed up on the shores of Isla de Oro with amnesia, having been injured in the disaster. Still, they joined the Vixen's Fury, where they slowly worked their way up to an officer position, during which time they died and became a ghost. Afterwards, they served as the Vixen's Captain for a good few years. They did their best to care for its crew and the many foxes which inhabit the ship.

Now, the ghost enjoys their well-earned retirement and continues haunting the tavern and the Vixen.

Appearance & Gear
Cat stands at around 1.88m (6'2), though they can float to be taller if they feel like it due to their ghostly nature. While they were alive, they had blue eyes, but the ghost's eyes have since gained a black sclera with white irises and very light grey pupils. Since dying, they've shown no signs of aging, their overall colour scheme has faded and darkened, and they are still missing a ring and pinky finger. Their brown-ish blonde hair has darkened as well.

Due to their death, Cat's ghost will pretty much always wear the outfit in which they died, except on special occasions, such as the party aboard Davy Jones's ship, where due to the party requirements, they wore a costume and mask. As such, Cat wears a brightly coloured hat and coat. The hat is a dark reddish brown with a golden ribbon around the edge with a large orange feather on top. The coat is a shade of blue so dark it's almost black, decorated with gold highlights.

In Cat's pockets, one can find various scraps of brightly coloured fabric, Various small rocks, sticks, shells, pieces of glass and other random items. They also used to carry a wood carving knife, though this has now been switched out for two embellished bronze knives gifted to them by Santa Bill. Occasionally, they carry around a homemade sketchbook and pencil, for drawing with, or practising their handwriting.

Personality
Cat is boisterous, friendly, and usually kind. At the same time, they can often be a bit blunt or oblivious, as they do not always fully understand things, or take them at face value instead of knowing that there may be double meanings. They are typically fairly straightforward with their logic, if sometimes a little simplistic, especially in areas such as morals. Still, they're capable of demonstrating much more advanced, intelligent understandings depending on the situation, subject, and sometimes mood. They enjoy games, exploring, and learning about new things, though they lack a sense of self-preservation, which has endangered them several times.

Abilities & Skills

 * Feline Affinity While alive, they possessed above-average speed, height and general reflexes, in addition to seeing in darkness or low light, just like the animal whose name they took on.
 * Finders Keepers Cat possesses the ability to find 'Things', random items that the Captain treats as though somehow valuable. Often, they are simply things like stones, pieces of sea glass, and other mundane objects. Each 'Thing' reportedly carries a memory of sorts, which can tell one all the things that have happened to the object, or so Cat claims.
 * Pyromancer Cat can also create and control fire, which appears vibrant green and can be treated as though soft and malleable by the Captain. They are able to control the flames subconsciously, directing them on location, size and other such factors.
 * Spectral Nature As a ghost, Cat is able to turn visible or invisible at will, pass through walls, objects and people, and possess the bodies of the recently deceased. They can also possess the living but do not, as in their words, "That be rude".

Other Information

 * As a ghost, Cat cannot touch iron, salt, or by extension, large concentrations of substances such as salt water, as this will injure or kill them, depending on things like the length of exposure, and how heavy the concentration of the substance was. They are also affected by other magic substances, as proven by the experiments in Thatch's Tavern with Dread Captain Maude Carter.
 * They have an immense distaste for shoes. No one knows why, and Cat refuses to elaborate.
 * Cat's pronouns are he/they.
 * Cat was captain of the Vixen's Fury between April 23rd, 2022 and September 27th, 2022.
