Davy Jones

There's no clear information on Davy Jones personality. In some cases he might appear childish, in some he might be friendly and loving, sometimes he is cold and unapproachable. It is unclear whether he is in control about himself or whether it is the world around him that shapes him to it's needs. Tho the one who knows him best - Leviathan would probably describe him as a calm observing person, someone who doesn't live by emotions. Someone who'd be happy if something interesting happened, no matter whether it'd be a crime or the act of a hero. He's a person who enjoys watching other people's stories, watching them struggle on an adventure and eventually either succeed or fail. He usually assumes the role of a side character he'd see as a good fit for the story. Someone who is neither antagonistic nor protagonistic. Someone, who just watches.

Long ago, in the midst of nothingness, something started to exist. It was a universe. A universe like many others. It didn't have any sort of significance, it didn't have a name, it didn't have a world inside of it. At this point in time it was merely a combination of time and space. However this universe did not want to stay empty as it was. It felt the need for a creator.
The being awakened. Slowly. It didn't have any awareness of itsself. It was a child with neither experience nor knowledge. It wasn't aware of the gigantic responsibility it would be carrying. Silently it looked around. There was nothing but darkness. Empty space. However, the being could see something, that was invisible for the casual observer. A rift in space, the gate to a different dimension within the same universe. The being didn't like that. It transcended through the rift and found another being behind it. It looked almost like a mirror imagae of itsself, but it was different. Different in a way, the being didn't like. So it decided to get rid of the nuisance. Using the powers it was born with, it erased the difference in space and crushed the other one by creating a flood of dark muddy water, that would cover the whole universe. It was this sinister water that later earned this world the name of 'Maare'
The being was crying in pain as it was injured by an attack the other one unleashed shortly before it was extinguished from existance. To this day the scars remain on its body as a reminder of the world that was created that day.

What the being crushed that day was the balance of the world it lived in. A universe is split into the realm of the living and the realm of the death, however the realm of the death didn't exist anymore ever since that day. Nobody knows what would happen to those who die. Or if it was even possible to die in this world. The basis of the rules of life didn't exist anymore. The world became the embodiment of chaos.
For a very long time the being lived alone in this world, sailing around on a ghost ship. However one day, either the being or the universe became bored. It extended itsself. It was lurking around other universes, trying to find an opening, trying to find something interesting. And indeed there was something. It was a certain world, left alone by the gods, the universe and everything around it for years. A world with beings called humans living on it along with animals. Fascinated the being sailed into this other world, where it met people for the first time. It discovered its love for the living.

The being became someone for the first time: Captain Davy Jones. He met people. Interacted with them, experienced what feelings look like. And he assumed feelings of his own. He became the captain of a pirate ship. He gathered a crew and went on voyages, treasure hunts and other adventures with them. In this time he became a dependable captain. Someone who respected his crew and someone who was respected by his crew. He especially trusted his right hand man William. One of these days however, the treasure hunt did not go well. They ended up finding the treasure, but there was no way back. They started to wither away, eventually dying from starvation. Only Davy jones could not die. He was crying, cursing the world, wondering why he had to experience this. The chaos around him took his emotions and formed a curse. He calmed down. And his tears dried, leaving his face with an empty look. He didn't know whether to love or to hate this experience. But it was addicting. He ventured to the human world many times after that, although he never took the role of an active main character again. He always just looked from the sidelines, appearing here and there with his ghostship. Soon, rumors spread on the Human world. Sailors disappeared, their ships reappeared at weird places, some would report seeing a weird ship with an ominous being on it. The descriptions varied a lot, but they gave it a name. They called the being Davy Jones, just as his crew had called him. The ones who reportet seeing him usually disappeared soon after. However, nevertheless Legends started creating themselves. About the notorious Davy jones. He didn't know how they picked the name, but it was the same name he used when having a crew. He liked that name. It ensured him he wouldn't be able to forget these times.
After a while, Davy Jones decided to bring over life to his own world, the Maare. The humans were very fragile, so he made his own creation a lot stronger. The Leviathan. A giant sea monster that'd live in the deapths of the ocean. He made more and more creations, starting with animals like fishes and birds, going further to create the species they'd call ship's kobold or Klabautermann in the human world, monsters without a will of their own but the ability to change their shape and trick people. He went on making more complex creations similar to Leviathan, including Medusa, Titania, Grimm and more. These creations were able to create beings on their own and slwoly but surely, life spread within the Maare - or the land of ledgends as it would be called by human visitors. Small islands started existing to be the home to creatures who aren't able to survive in the sea alone.

Davy Jones, the one who made this world was happy with it. Or was he? Who knows. After all, this world is his mood. It might change entirely only the next day. What was his passion today might be different tomorrow. His mind is clouded by the chaos he created by defeating death itsself. However seeing this world, talking to his creation - he managed to stay somewhat consistant. Maybe it is the friends he found in Leviathan and his other creations, that keeps the Chaos away a bit.
