Nelia Jones

```
*She is no Goddess, she is a monster. Her beauty is terror.*

```

**Nelia Davy Jones** is the current ruler over Lockwood and ex-Captain of the Vanderdecken. After passing the ship and crew down to her daughter, Kali, Nelia settled down and now resides in the town she overthrew centures prior. Being born and growing up on the deck, Nelia has no specific place of origin, and is the only daughter of the notorious David Jones (*Davy Jones*).

She currently is not an active character in the storyline.

Faceclaim: Alexia Giordano

## Appearance

First and foremost, Nelia does not fit the stereotypical appearance of a Pirate Captain. She has a raw beauty, untouched by artificial alterations, such as makeup or dye. She has the sun-kissed skin of any sailor, with a youthful glow and dewy skin. Her hair is left to it's own accord - wild and out, frizzy and curly. The only way to accurately describe is that it is "full of secrets." Her hair only tickles her elbows, however it usually kept braided along the sides of her head when she is sailing to stop the wind getting it in her eyes.

Nelia stands 5"7 with an extremely muscular build. Although she is curvy, it isn't outstanding, and the muscle is more defined than her curves. A natural sportsman, she is most proud of her muscular legs, and accentuates it's appearance by wearing black, leather trousers with hard leather boots reaching just under her knees. On her top half, her style is a complete contrast to the tight and form fitting bottom half. Nelia will usually wear an over-sized tunic shirt, with a leather belt to pull in the middle and allow the top to be baggy. She does this to allow air circulation when she's sailing, as she usually gets hot from the tighter clothes if she doesn't.

Although Nel appears to be a delicate, friendly woman, her first impression is usually given just by her body language alone. Standing with a posture of complete confidence, her chin tilted up with her back straight and shoulders back, she gives an air of power about her just by walking. But she doesn't aim to do this, as a pirate doesn't aim to give away that they are a *pirate*. She always has a brow raised, giving off a look of constant curiosity or possible scheming. Overall, her appearance is deceiving of who she really is; a money hungry, rum guzzling Pirate.

## Personality

Upon first impressions, the first thing people notice is how extroverted, to the point where it is somewhat inappropriate, Nelia is. She welcomes anyone into her circle and will treat them as a member of her family. At least, this is what she wants to appear as. Nelia is extremely manipulative, and corrupted by her desire for power and money. However, this hasn't made her act unstable, she puts on a humble front of a woman who wouldn't hurt a fly. It's all a part of her appearance. Nelia's main priority when she meets people is to make her appear as anything but a pirate. Although, she still keeps to her habits, attempting bribery and brawling in taverns, but it's all good fun. Nelia's rambunctious personality is what makes her appealing to people. She is a powerful woman and a free spirit, no ties to any city or land, and likes to stay that way.

However, there is a darker aspect of Nelia's personality which is only seen by her crew. She is a pirate, afterall, and the daughter of the legendary Davy Jones himself. Nelia has a taste for torture, murder, and there are rumours of her even partaking in cannibalism at some point. Truth is, Nelia is a cold blooded, rum guzzling, blood thirsty pirate. It's rare for her to not be seen intoxicated in some way. Usually rum however she plays with other substances, too. She's a corrupt leader. She would abuse her crew and has their souls bound to hell under Leviathan's name. When one does get to know Nelia for who she truly is, they wish they had never met her in the first place.

Nelia suffers from severe paranoia, which controls most of her erratic behaviour. Since retiring, this has calmed some, but not completely. Her ex-husband was known to be unfaithful, and Nelia forced him to kill every other woman he sleeps with as she was paranoid he would run off with them. There are no pure demonics or angelics in her crew due to paranoia of their power and them possibly trying to overthrow her, like her father's crew did to him. Nelia's substance abuse is purely to keep her paranoia at bay, however, it clearly doesn't work. She has violent outbursts when her paranoia escalates, however only her crew have witnessed the consequences of these outbursts. Her outbursts lead people to believe that Nelia shares the same madness her father had. A madness for power, dominance and protection over what was hers.

## Abilities

**Tempestakinesis -** The power to manipulate storms *- Nelia can sense, create, shape and manipulate storms, a thunderstorm, heavy precipitation, such as snowstorms and rainstorms, heavy freezing rain (ice storm), strong winds (tropical cyclone, windstorm), or wind transporting substance through the atmosphere as in a dust storm, blizzard, sandstorm, etc.*

**Telekinesis -** *The power to manipulate objects/matter with the mind.* - Although not a master or particularly skilled in telekinesis, Nelia has the ability to move objects without actually touching them. Her ability is not strong enough to move larger living things, such as people or small animals, however is able to move insects and inanimate objects. She typically uses her ability for convenience, so her ability is mostly known by her family and staff rather than by her crew and the public.

## Family & Relationships

After a messy divorce and a brutal injury during a raid of her ship while docked in England. Now retired as captain and ruling over the pirate settlement, Lockwood, Nelia lives a quiet life. Her ship was handed down to her only daughter, Kalissandra Jones, who visits her on a semi-regular basis.

#### Daughter; Kalissandra Jones

The light of her life, Nelia has always had a strong relationship with her only daughter. After her divorce, Nelia raised Kali to have an iron fist and prepared her from a young age to become the ships captain.

#### Father; David (Davy) Jones

Nelia's father was the legendary sailor "Davy Jones" who sailed the "Flying Dutchman" (The Vanderdecken), however his real name was David. Her father was named the "Devil of the Seas" once he made a deal with Camael (Temperance) to have a power over the seven seas and a hard working crew for eternity if he paid debt to Camael until his death. His crew was not aware of this deal, or that they were now under Captain David's corrupt leadership for the rest of eternity. However, Camael did not inform the Captain that his downfall was the only way to end the deal.

Captain David's cruel slave labour-like reign on the seas lasted over 50 years before his crew discovered the deals existence when Akeelah, David's wife and Quartermaster, interrupted a deal between Camael and David. The crew, led by Akeelah, raided the Captain's quarters that night after the Angel departed. David was thrown overboard by his crew, lifting the curse made on the crew and bringing the deal between Camael and David to an end. Nelia succeeded her father on August 11th 1539; her 58th birthday.

#### Mother; Akeelah Petrus-Jones

Nicknamed "Davy Jones' Locker", Akeelah Petrus-Jones is more feared by the crew than the ex-Captain herself. Akeelah was Nelia's personal advisor. Akeelah is responsible for most executions of the crew rather than Nelia herself, as she believed Nelia was not strong enough to handle this responsibility. Akeelah sadly perished during the Red Death.

#### The Vanderdecken

Nelia's crew was made up of 23 men and women, including her Quartermaster. Her crew was like her second family and are always her main priority; whether it their safety or to keep them satisfied. Her crew are made up of strong, healthy individuals and she will only accept new members to her crew if they, not only benefit her, but will also benefit the whole crew. Every pirate of Nelia's crew has her family sigil, as a brand, tattooed on their body. She does this to test their loyalty, and to test if any new recruits truly are sure of their decision to join the ship.
