“Do you know what fear tastes like Faline?” The prince glared towards him, leaning forwards from where he was seated. “I’m sure to you, it tastes of iron and saltwater, normal for someone so overwhelmingly connected to the ocean” The male slammed down the glass of wine in his paw, a booming voice rising as he started to go from simple aggravation to full blown enraged screaming. “And you pirates, of course, deserve to taste such things as you all drown to the bottom of the oceans you dare to sail across with such merriment!” Faline pulled back from the other, unsure what to think, and nervous about even trying to find the right words to say. Captured by a king and on the verge of being sent to execution, the pirate knew one thing. Minimize the damage, save the others, make sure as many people as possible could be saved, even if he wasn’t a part of that body count. He was unsure what he did wrong to anger this creature, and as he spoke, everything snapped back to reality, and he never got his answer.
The blaring sound of the airhorn of a clock broke Faline out of his dream. “Well you see-” He slurred, barely snapping away from his dream. They almost continued, but his words paused as he realized his former state was only a dream. He looked out towards his window, underwater scenery being shown back towards him. The soft sound of the waves surrounded him as his eyes bolted towards a small orange, black, and white blur outside his window. Oh, thank gods, Carrol was still there, as speedy and happy as ever, the dream really was over. Faline laughed slightly as the other being spun around and smushed their little fish face up against the glass. “Mornin’ Carrol, say hi to the crew this morning?” Of course, the clownfish couldn’t respond, but Faline just laughed and found himself hopping up to the top of the ship, busting out of the hatch blocking his bunk from the rest of the kalons above. As soon as the sun met his face, the captain yelled out to the world, or at least that’s what it seemed like as his voice echoed through the sky.
“ GOOD MORNING, TO THE BEST PIRATES IN THE OCEAN!”
Faline, Where does one start with Faline? He’s been through a lot certainly, but can one really go out there and call him a captain of a ship and only that? No, because with how he’s lived, he’s more than that. He’s been a beggar, asking people to help him follow a dream, asking people to see if they’d join the pirate crew of a kit with a dream. He’s been a student, learning from his father how to pilot a ship, and how to get it home safely. He’s been a mourner, crying and whining, mourning the death of his father on the sea with nobody to comfort him. He’s been a captain, yes. But now, he’s no longer a captain, he’s a patient. While Faline is sure that he’s been on his pirate ship this whole time, feeding off of fish and drinking the water of the seas, with friends all around him, the reality hits much more like a dystopian world.
Faline was diagnosed with Schizophrenia, and was hospitalized after attempting to kill another kalon by the name of Rex, claiming that he was ‘a guard to the king who wished to kill him’. All the time he had on his supposed ship, was only time he spent in his padded room. The fish he thought he ate was nothing more than meat filled with medicine for his hallucinations, the water he drank was simply that...tap water. However, it wasn’t always this way...the begging and the mourning, that was reality, everything was reality up until his father’s death. When that happened, it seemed almost as if Faline did something different. Something...out of the ordinary. The doctors found it out when he was institutionalized.
He had medicine before, he took it for many years to keep hallucinations at bay, but when his father died...he stopped taking his medicine, and the hallucinations caught up with him. His friends sometimes visit him, and see him in his room crying or laughing at nothing, and they just look to him, faces filled with sadness. Sure, some of them didn’t exactly see Faline as the best person ever, but they wanted their happy sailor child back. They wanted their Faline back home...back in reality.

RELATIONS; FRIENDS AND HALLUCINATIONS
Austin Karrow PRINCE AUSTIN KARROVERE
"I don't particularly like him. But I want him back in reality with the rest of us."
This son of a ruler hates Faline with a passion, and would do anything
to make sure he perishes like a dog, nobody seems to feel as strong
about this compared to the prince, who has been wishing for Faline's
decline in every breath seemingly since he came into existence.
How this happened, it's not exactly sure, but some say that they
were born to be against eachother and to fight until the end.
Rex Karrow MARKSLEY THE BRAVE OF THE KARROWSAL KNIGHTS
"I want my friend back! I don't care if he hurt me, he's my friend!"
The main knight of the court and the one who Faline valiantly
protected himself from, Rex really is not as bad as it seems.
He seems to act nice towards Faline while also working for his
worst enemy. It's awful strange, especially after injuring him,
but Faline understands the issues he could face working for...him.
Kerry Shawcross SHAWCROSS THE WISE OF THE KARROWSAL KNIGHTS
"He may be a bit of trouble, but we need him back."
Another Knight from the prince's court, Shawcross also doesn't
seem to mind Faline too badly, of course he must do his job
against him, but it doesn't seem as if the knight wants to
hurt Faline, which is very strange indeed, almost stranger
than Rex's kindness.
Jesse Oresten MAYOR JESSE ORESIEIN
"At least he's a hero in his mind...
though I want to help him become one in this reality."
A kind mayor of a small town, they seem to welcome Faline
with open arms, imploring him to stay a while and to join
in the festivities of the town. Faline of course takes up that
offer quite a lot, the male making the stops along the way
that are needed to truly enjoy the town.
PET LORE
CARROL THE CLOWNFISH:
Carol is one of the pets in Faline's life
that actually existed in the real world. And the
way that Faline got him was actually pretty
sweet. His friends decided to go along with him
to a store to buy a pet fish after Faline was
inspired to take care of one after a trip to the
aquarium. Of course there were no clownfish
at the store because that would be illegal,
so at the time, Carrol didn't exactly exist.
It was actually Caroline the betta fish!
However, after a few months of Caroline
being around, something strange happened.
Faline found a clownfish. Not only stranded
in a random fishbowl in the middle of a
beach, but seemingly injured. Faline brought
the clownfish to a vet to see if they could do
anything, but unfortunately they could not,
but directed him to a wildlife center in the
town he lived in. After checking in and
finding out that the clownfish would be okay,
Faline was told that he would be taking care
of the fish. Thus Carrol came to be, both as
a fish in a saltwater aquarium, and a fish in
the open water who follows a giant ship.
POLLY THE PARROT:
Polly was not originally something in the
real world. Polly was originally a creation of Faline's
Active mind. Polly was supposed to be the captain's partner,
Every pirate had a parrot named Polly, for some reason.
However, while in his head the bird simply decided to stay
around, the bird in real life, it was...kind of sad how they
came to be in Faline's arms during scary nights
at the mental hospital. Polly was originally
supposed to be a bird used for educational
shows at a zoo, where he was an example
about how not all birds are meant to be pets.
However, during Polly's time there, they got
their wings injured by a child who did not
understand the meaning of 'do not touch'.
The bird was put in the hospital as a comfort
animal for some of the patients there, but
the parrot never seemed to comfort anyone
as much as they comforted Faline. And just
as Faline grew an attachment to the bird,
Polly felt an attachment to the kalon.
Making them both best friends in Faline's
mind, and in the real world. Polly may be
worried for Faline as he is often in a state
of alternate thought, but the bird understands
and only wishes to make sure he is happy
in the end.
SANDY THE LABORADOR:
While Sandy doesn't show up in the world of
the mind, and really isn't even Faline's pet
Sandy is a very loyal service dog who adores
Faline and tries to help as much as she can. Used by the
Scientists and doctors to comfort patients, Sandy shows
up in Faline's room quite a lot for a lot of reasons. She
calms him down when he has a breakdown, places her
body under Faline if he is having a situation involving
hitting his head against walls, and even just simply
snuggles up to Faline when he needs a friend to be
around during times of pain. Faline likes Sandy,
Sandy is a good friend for Faline and he appreciates
how the dog can understand his problems, even in a
way that nobody can really understand because well,
She's a dog. BUT either way, Faline really does enjoy
having Sandy around, even if sometimes he can't
truly enjoy his company.
She unfortunately isn't in his mind as a dog, mostly
because she brings him back to reality. And such a
thing being in his hallucination world just doesn't make
sense. Sandy is a purely real-life sweetheart, and if
Faline wants her hugs and snuggles, and her happy
bark and all the things that make him smile, then
he has to come back to reality. And sometimes,
it's that fact which keeps him from being there forever.
David Freebird DUKE DAVID OF KARROWSAL
"Such a poor creature, stuck in his own reality, god I wish that was me."
A higher-up in society, David doesn't seem to give much mind
to Faline. Often times he keeps to himself, writing letters
ordering other kalons to be culled, and demanding that certain
individuals in his town be eliminated. Which, most times,
does not include Faline. So he's cool.
Cammo Chaplain CAPTAIN ORDEALE OF THE DACERIZE PIRATES
"Pleaaaaase god, bring him back! I need him back in my classes!"
Captain of a pirate crew based around dance, Cammo seems
to be a friend in the hell that is Faline's constant dodging
of royal authorities. Often times, this pirate will actually
teach him and other sea travellers how to dance,which is sweet.
Zentangle Lastrange CAPTAIN LASTRANGE OF THE KARROWSAL NAVY
"I will sue the doctors if they do not return my friend."
Leader of the prince's naval fleet, Zen and Faline have been
in a cat and mouse chase for years now. Not only due to
Zen's employment with the prince, but also due to how both
parties have been fighting on the ocean since their father's days.
Acaco Donnase TSAR DONNASE OF RUSSIA
"Acaco wishes to see Faline back in reality with him."
Lover of the prince, and what Faline can imagine as their
better half, the Tsar stationed at the russian border
always seems too busy to pay anyone any mind.
Though it's good to know that he's said that arresting
Faline would be some kind of international crime.
SIDE A ; REALITY'S PAIN
skinny love by birdy
"tell my love to wreck it all,
cut out all the ropes and let me fall"
Faline has always wanted someone to love...sometimes, it's almost like he has someone already and sings about them. He's not very good at singing, but it's still motivational for others to see him try.
my r by kurageP
"i listened to their tale,
i made them turn away."
Saying that Faline hasn't thought about ending his life...that'd just be a lie. However, he's stopped himself. Knowing he has a great life. Maybe not in real life, but in his mind his life is an excellent adventure.
my ordinary life by the living tombstone
"they give so much to me,
i'm losing touch, get me?"
Faline has this song on a playlist in real life, and it seems to help him go into his safe place of his mind. Others sometimes believe he's under the influence of drugs thanks to this song, but he tries to ignore them when they say this, and he enjoys the sweet tunes of what he wishes was his life.
escape the nightmare by kyle allen
"he went to bed,
and now he's in his head."
Not all of his thoughts in his head go to his world where he's happy and where the world isn't at rough, sometimes they go to a much darker place, a place where he's being tormented and judged by everything in reality, and even some things that shouldn't be able to exist in any reality.
bells of notre dame by jonathan young
"and he saw corruption everywhere
except from within..."
A classic song that Faline loves. Faline has been told that the song isn't the best, or that it doesn't fit him, but he doesn't mind. He just thinks it's a nice song...added with the fact that he sees himself as the child who is a monster, and judge frollo as the world against him.
all star cover by jonathan young
"pander to everyone's nostalgia,
and cash in on dead memes!"
Just because Faline has a bad life, doesn't mean he can't enjoy memes. Sure, it's a meme involving the person at the end saying how originality is now shunned in the modern era and to succeed you need to pander to everyone, but that totally isn't why Faline relates to it! Totally.SIDE B ; HALLUCINATION WONDERLAND
saw you standin' there by caramella girls
"saw you standin' there,
with a smile to share!"
Ok, so maybe the lyrics aren't the easiest to listen to, but Faline likes the tune and always seems to get up to dance when he hears it. So, good for him I guess?
monika no.5 by maki ligon
"everybody's in the car,
so come on, let's die!"
More self-depreciating memes you say? In this economy? No, No, No. Faline just likes this song because it has a nice beat and he likes to dance to it while taking lessons with Captain Cammo!
build it up by kero kero bonito
"and when it gets boring,
it's more fun to go knock it down!"
Another nice tune with a good beat! Faline however also relates to this because he likes both to create and to playfully destroy on the seas!
my time by bo en
"close your eyes,
you'll be here soon."
A very strange song, shown to Faline by Mayor Jesse, Faline sees it as another nice tune, though it can be very dark if you look too close into the lyrics, so just...don't do that.
bubble d.va by thatpunchkid
"who are you calling a child?
- me?"
Faline? a Child? Childish? You must be joking...haha!
doki doki forever by or3o
"hey hey! my heart's beating
when i'm hanging out with you."
Faline really does want someone to love, very much so in fact. But sometimes he Just can't get the words out right, so he experiences his feelings in song form.
