About
The Sailor is a strange cat-eared owl-like bird that is known to guide others on a boat across multiple worlds. He never speaks to his passengers but he does offer a listening ear and gives advice in his own way. He has a vast collection of shells from across many different worlds, adorn with jewels and materials those of earth would consider value. He is sure to keep stingy and secretive of his hoard, however. Some possess magical abilities beyond the imagination of humans or just look nice enough for The Sailor to protect. The sea, of which he guides his passengers, is perfectly even and clear for miles - like you could just want on it - and reflects the world perfectly.
Summary
The Sailor does his best to keep his identity somewhat hidden - and that means no one knows his name or age (or most of his hobbies). He's simply a gateway into other worlds across a glassy sea. Not a single soul on earth or off can name him; at least to his knowledge. He's traveled these barren waters for so long that he's forgotten his age, and at times, his name too. His boat - a giant shell that he has delicately crafted into a fine vessel - is something that took him years to build into perfection. All the little knick-knacks, ornaments, and shells have been placed precariously upon the ship to make it more fitting to him.
The Shell Ship
The ship to which the Sailor sails is a giant shell found in an alternate world - or so it seemed - to earth; one where smaller, more obscure things seemed to have grown tremendously in size. Over time, he carved little holes in it to allow room for him to rest inside and look out at the sea on those particularly long vouyages. A string of lights and a latern were placed upon the ship's mast to light the darkest of nights; a special orb - placed in the quarter deck with a strange mechanism to keep it in place - powered these lights and never seemed to faulter.
The Sailor would perch at the very highest point of the mast and feel the wind. He was a bird, so he knew the wind better than any other, after all. After determining the direction which would best suit their route and the ship, the Sailor would carefully maneuver a set of strings that would force the sails into a certain direction. The ship had not only the main sail, but a jib and driver sail as well. At night, he would trust the hardy ship and the fate of the night to keep him on route; though on the glassy barren sea, there wasn't too much to worry about. He would dive into the comforts of his nest-like bed which sat just above his secret stash of magical shells and various ornaments.
The Crystalline City
There's said to be a crescent shaped city that resides in the center of the glassy sea. The cresent sits half-way into the water and has towers reaching down toward the surface from the very top underside of the crescent. It is also believed that a huge marketplace of sourts has taken form at the base of the crescent.

Trivia
- Though he seems to be half cat, half owl; his specific species is undetermined.
- The Sailor refuses to reveal his identity or even speak with his passengers; they must speak first.
- The accessories that adorn the Sailor are items all gifted to him, though by who, he doesn't tell.
- His shell ship was completely hand (or should I say, wing) crafted by himself and is powered through the magic of a few items he found throughout his adventures.
- While the Sailor does keep a large stash of shells and other magical items, he keeps them hidden away from his ship and tucked into the farthest reaches of the universe.

The Sailor met this silent and, at first, unfriendly canine during one of his visits to a specific realm. Callisto's curiousity has led him to travel with the Sailor for many of his trips before finally settling in the Crystalline City.
