Personal history
Captain Kelly was born for the seas. A pirate of high infamy who roamed the seas. One day he encountered a mighty worm, the size of a massive mountain. It took his leg and disappeared beneath the waves.
Captain Kelly sought revenge against the worm, hunting it down for many years. Eventually he caught found the worm again, but this time he himself was swallowed and his crew killed at sea.
The Cavern of Darkness:
For a little over a month, Captain Kelly suvived inside the worm's belly. Until one day, a group of hired adventurers also fell into the worm's belly whilst it lay dormant. Together, Kelly and the group descend deeper into the worm to find a way to escape. They meet a friendly human named Nightsten and his companion, a goblin named Dumbfuck. They explain that there are many orcs and goblins deep within the worm's stomach who have formed a cabal. They use a strange stomach acid in the worm's belly and mutate themselves into massive beasts. Nighsten plans out that if they are able to destroy a weak part of the stomach, all the acid would spread throughout the worm and cause it to vomit them out. The party battle throughout the worm's innards until they reach the inner stomach. They witness the cabal of goblins/orcs mutate an entire group of goblins in the stomach acid, turning them into a massive behemoth goblinoid monster. As the party fight against the orcs, the situation seems dire. In desperation, Kelly and the group push Kelly into the acid, transforming him into a large humanoid behemoth like giant. Nightsten and the Goblin Behemoths fought as Kelly flanked the battle. He reached the vital organ of the stomach and with explosives he got from Nightsten, exploded the stomach. The whole party were thrown up and knocked unconscious, as the mouth of the worm slowly closed with them right at the mouth's opening. But luckily, Amber the barbarian managed to save everyone by reviving them all and just barley escaping as the mouth closed. They then were stranded at sea, as the worm emerged from it's dormant state, destroying the island it once lay asleep in. The worm cried out to the air, communicating to others of it's kind far away. The party remained stranded at sea.The Deep One:
After fleeing from the worm's clutches Captain Kelly found himself stranded in the ocean with the other survivors of the cavern. Having finally gotten his revenge Captain Kelly was at peace and let himself sink beneath the waves. He watched the light of the sun go further and further out of his vision until he finally closed his eyes for his final rest. some time later..... "Hmm and what are you?" said a strange watery voice Captain Kelly's eyes shot open, he could somehow take a breath and even see in the pitch blackness of the water. Kelly spun around in the sand until a 20 ft. tall figure painted in darkness came into view. "WHAT ARE YE FOUL CREATURE?" shouted Kelly as he raised his harpoon up at the figure "That weapon has no affect on my kind" the figure said slyly as he reached two fingers down to snatch the harpoon out of Kelly's hands "Be ye Davy Jones come to lock me away in thee abyss!?" retorted Kelly "I will answer your questions if you answer mine human, who are you?" replied the figure "I BE CAPN KELLY THE GREATEST PIRATE THAT EVER SAILED THE OCEAN BLUE" yelled Kelly "ah i see, i am ⏁⊑⟒ ⎅⟒⟒⌿ ⍜⋏⟒ but in your tongue they call me The Deep One" the figure calmly said Captain Kelly's ears rung after hearing the strange clicks and squeals of the alien language the figure spoke. "And what would ye be wantin with me deep one?" Captain Kelly said suspiciously "I see all who sail these seas, i saw you lose your leg even" chuckled The Deep One "Do you feel the water in your lungs? The cold water around you? and yet you live. That is what i wanted. The deep receives all ⌇☊⎍⋔ from above the waves, now it is time for the deep to send something back up." The Deep One stated Before Captain Kelly could reply he was cut off by The Deep One "Here is your weapon back i hope you are happy with the improvements. Oh and take this" The Deep One said as he handed Kelly a strange looking scale "We will meet again now return to your world." The Deep One said as he stepped back into the darkness and waved his hand in the water causing a current to whisk Captain Kelly back up to the surface....Call of the Deep:
Kelly returned to his piracy, befriending a man named Maurice after saving him from the gallows. Him and Maurice sailed for several months together, before eventually heading to the town of Saltmarsh in search of a legendary treasure. Reaching Saltmarsh Captain Kelly announched before a bar of locals his intenions of piracy and his search for a crew to find this lost treasure. Kelly's offer was accepted by two others, a Squidling named Kali and a Sea Elf named Hockney, also searching for the fabled treasure. Together they traveled to the docks and stole a sloop belonging to a local of the town, Barnacle Blackburn, after murdering him. They took the sloop and sailed around the island of Saltmarsh, eventually discovering a mysterious whirlpool. Kelly also being the only one to spot strange fish men with red eyes watching them in the water. They all swim into the whirlpool which pulls them down many miles beneath the dark seas. The current sucks them into a strange cavern. Kelly and the crew travel throughout the cavern and battle strong fish men. Eventually, Kelly and the crew reach a final chamber, filled with a armada of sunken ships. They find hundreds of pounds of gold hoarded in the ships, taking it all for themselves. They climb onboard the flag ship and discover more fish men and a fish man pirate captain who comes to life and is dawning a strange powerful magic crown, talking to the party. Telling them a tale in 3rd person of an ancient pirate lord known as Drakeheart who ruled the seas long ago. Drakeheart sought a final treasure before retiring, a crown that would grant dominion over the depths of the sea. He found this crown but did not know the curse it would weigh upon his soul and his body. He now asks the party to take the burden from him, and to save themselves from the crown's curse, as the party realize the gold they touched is now turning them to fish men as well. Captain Kelly accepts the burden, but before he can take the crown. Kali and Hockney recieve an vision from their Sea God Acklod, warning them the crown must not fall into the hands of the denizens of the deep. Meanwhile, Kelly hears whispers from his cursed sword, whispers from the ancient one, telling Kelly to bring the crown to the deep one. Whilst all this is happening, a massive dark shadow enters the cavern, a kraken grabs the crown and flees, commanding Maurice (his servant/warlock patron) to kill the party and serve the kraken as the new King of the Abyss. The ocean fills the cavern, raising Drakeheart's ship with the party onboard it. They reach the surface to see the Kraken commanding thousands of Fish Men to ravage the sea town of Saltmarsh. Kelly and his crew sail to the Kraken and engage him. As they do so, Maurice betrays the party, choosing alleigance with his Patron the Kraken. Combat ensues and throughout it, Kali, Kelly, and Maurice all are transformed into Pirate Ghosts after they fall unconscious. Hockney kills Maurice and smites the kraken whilst Kelly charges the kraken, slicing through it's open mouth as the ship sinks. Kelly takes the crown from the Kraken's belly and kills the beast. Kelly emplaces the crown upon his head, reforming his ghost pirate form into a fish man coral form. He then repairs the ship and restores Kali and Maurice's bodies, bringing them back to life as his sentient fish man servants. Kelly frees Hockney of his curse, gifting him his own ship full of treasure. Captain Kelly, now King of the Abyss, Lord of the Trench, and harborer of the Crown of Depths, sails beneth the waves to rule over his new kingdom. But first, he must return to his mysterious savior. The entity that saved him long ago. Kelly sails through the depths of the dark sea to speak once again, with the Deep One.Employment
