Davy is an early middle aged man in brightly coloured clothes and dreadlocks. He carries himself with the air of someone who has seen more tragedy than any man can be asked and yet as come to peace with the world and his place in it. In his Apotheosis Davy is a huge worm, as white as bleached bone and covered with faces. To a Leviathan these are either generic or featureless but humans often remember seeing dead loved ones and though they forget the words they remember hearing messages from beyond. Seeing Davy Jones in his Apotheosis is remarkable: He's something timeless, terrible beyond measure but also natural. Entirely inevitable until the only response is acceptance, and to live a while longer. | Davy is an early middle aged man in brightly coloured clothes and dreadlocks.

− | '''Storytelling Hints:''' Davy's behaviour depends upon whether he is on duty or off the clock. When performing his duty Davy is likely to be polite but generally disinterested in anything besides helping his current client. When he's cashing in some of his saved time Davy Jones looks for companionship, you'd likely find him in a welcoming pub where strangers share drink and conversation. The Cohort could easily be those strangers as Davy is as happy to shoot the breeze with family as with other humans but trying to ask him for advice or help with big issues will simply cause Davy to change the subject to more relaxed matters.

Aside from a drinking buddy or a perhaps bitter example of a very high Tranquillity Leviathan (copying Davy does sound uncomfortably like get a job) there is rich storytelling potential for meeting Davy Jones as a result of his Duty. When a character seems to be loosing touch with humanity perhaps a lost loved one might turn up as one of Davy's clients. A darker touch may involve one of the Leviathan's victims or a Beloved, freed from their obsession in death and demanding closure before they pass on. They probably won't be demanding a fight unless Davy made a serious error, he tries to stick to clients he feels he can help and that doesn’t include those who demand violence. Partly because he's not a violent man, partly because he doesn’t know how to fight. | Aside from a drinking buddy or a perhaps bitter example of a very high Tranquillity Leviathan (copying Davy does sound uncomfortably like get a job) there is rich storytelling potential for meeting Davy Jones as a result of his Duty.
