Breathing underwater*
*Title is a placeholder
Hi I’m Cero and I’m looking to form a team for the SWAK game jam. Here is a small pitch for the story:
Captain Blackbeard was betrayed and killed during a mutiny, now he finds himself at the bottom of the ocean facing a siren that offers him revenge. The price is very high, to live the rest of eternity as a monster that terrorizes pirates even while they sleep safely on land. A story that questions how far someone is willing to go for their sake of revenge. They can let go of the anger and resentment or they can embrace it.
“Love humiliates you, but hatred cradles you” —Janet Fitch, White Oleander
Characters:
Siren:
Sirens are monstrous creatures that are born from sailors killed at sea, they are filled with hatred and resentment. They live at the bottom of the sea among the remnants of the shipwrecks they caused. Sirens are smart and cunning, they offer contracts to new victims in order to reproduce and feed on those negative emotions. Future sirens have to offer their last breath through a kiss in order to obtain the powers to enact their revenge on those who wronged them.
Blackbeard:
Loosely based on the real life pirate that lived through the 1680s. A cunning man that used his terrifying appearance instead of violence to elicit fear in his victim. After months at sea food became scarce and a few new crew members decided they did not want to take orders from him anymore and a mutiny ensued. Now he finds himself at the bottom of the sea, with the offer to finally embrace the violence he so vehemently rejected for decades in order to enact violence on those who wronged him, or accept death and let his body be consumed by the sea he loved.
