Background & Origin: He was born at sea, raised on a raft city, while traveling the world. His education is entirely practical, knowing only enough letters to read a map, or a ship's inventory. He is a fearsome warrior and reliable sailor. Point him at a task and he doesn't stop until it is done.
His reputation at sea free too large, and he has been forced to take to land for a while, while sea people forget a bit, and he can again find work.
Combat Tactics: Scowl, shout and slash.
Personality Traits: Cantankerous and mean-spirited. He's a hard-drinking scalawag.
Appearance: He has wild, unkempt hair. He favors loose clothing, for freedom of movement.
He has a steel-plated wooden shield, laminated and embossed with a copy of a map to the first treasure he ever buried. He tells people he will someday return to claim that treasure.
Powers: He's a pirate barbarian. He uses his mad rage and fighting skills to loot and plunder.

Barbarian
Barbarians from coastal and island cultures often draw on the spirit of the ocean's greatest hunters to inspire them in battle. Barbarians who choose an aquatic hunter as their spirit animal take the aquatic hunter class feature in place of the spirit seeker feature. Aquatic totems include killer whales (orcas) and sharks. As with the standard barbarian build, an aquatic barbarian may select from different animal totems at 3rd, 6th and 14th levels.
Path of the Totem Warrior
Aquatic Hunter
Yours is a path that seeks a connection to the greatest hunters in the aquatic world. At 3rd level when you adopt this path, you gain the ability to cast water breathing on yourself at-will. You may also choose one of the following spells to cast as indicated: hunter's mark (once per day as a 1st level spell) or speak with animals (as a ritual).
Totem Spirit
At 3rd level, when you adopt this path and choose either orca or shark as your totem, you may channel the power of your totem to gain additional powers, you must make or acquire a physical totem object--an amulet or similar adornment--that incorporates the teeth, skin or jaw of the animal. You may also gain minor physical attributes that are reminiscent of your totem spirit. For example, you may have dark eyes, a vicious smile, lack of hair or sharpened teeth.
Orca: While you're raging, your friends have advantage on melee attack rolls against any creatures within 5 feet of you that is hostile to you. Orca's travel and hunt in packs, learning to work together to defeat their prey.
Shark: While raging, you have resistance to all damage except psychic damage. The spirit of the shark allows you to shake off all but the most brutal damage while the scent of blood is in your nose.
Aspect of the Beast
At 6th level, you gain a magical benefit based on the totem animal of your choice. You can choose the same animal you selected previously or a different one.
Orca: While raging, you gain blindsight to a range of 10 feet in air, or 60 feet underwater. As this ability is gained by echolocation, you can't use this ability while deafened.
Shark: You gain the ability to track blood by scent and sense the bioelectric field put off by all living creatures. You can track other creatures while traveling at a fast pace, and you can move stealthily while traveling at a normal pace.
Oceanic Blessing
At 10th level, you may cast the water breathing spell normally, but only as a ritual. You may still cast water breathing on yourself at-will as long as you are the only target.
Totemic Attunement
At 14th level, you gain a magical benefit based on the totem animal of your choice. You can choose the same animal you selected previously or a different one.
Orca: You learn to use your size and speed to your advantage in combat. While you are raging, you can use a bonus action on your turn to knock a Large or smaller creature prone when you hit it with a melee weapon attack.
Shark: Your emotionless ferocity is more terrifying than any wild rage. While you're raging, any creature within 5 feet of you that's hostile to you has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you or another character with this feature. An enemy is immune to this effect if it can't see or hear you or if it can't be frightened.
