Headcanon #2

The Ship - Akki is Captain of a fairly typical 'Junk Ship' however it was far larger, only a slight bit smaller than the Western Ships. When she was first aboard the ship it was in many ways quite plain, the sails were a dirty white and typical of the Asian styled boats it lacked a bow maiden. This soon changed when the boat became under Akki's command, it was also re-named by locals to Shitai (literally means corpses). This is because after each kill that Akki made, she strung up the bodies around the ship as a warning to others and the remainder of her crew. Famously her father's bones became the 'bow maiden', although many are now lost to the oceans the skull and ribcage still remain. 

[pheanna-the-mermaid]

How come you can be captain of a ship if you are more foolish than most humans I’ve met? *she giggled lightly*

[captainakki]

If I am foolish, what are you? Do not underestimate me ningyo, you'd make good addition to my ship.

[cassieofthesevenseas-deactivate]

Some choose, others are led. What were you?

[captainakki]

Who is asking?

[tomypleasingrpaesthetics]

Fear. Death. Pleasure.

[captainakki]

Pleasure is for the weak.

[captainakki]

Why did I come here.

[pheanna-the-mermaid]

That still isn’t my name, woman.

[captainakki]

A fish needs no name, and neither do you.

Altercations || Akki, Jacob & Abby

[abby-the-girl-who-ran-blog]

“You can talk to Jack he is the bartender and he will give you what you need, I have tables to tend to” she tried again; she wanted to get past her and away from her. She had hoped Jacob didn’t see this; she didn’t need him acting all macho and risk getting injured or worse.

“What are you talking about” she said again, she had seen her look towards Jake, she stole a peek seeing him going for his sword, she cussed to herself as she knew it would get messy now.

“I don’t have to serve people who are unfriendly,” she said looking at the woman, her eyes widened as she felt the cold steel of her blade against her neck, her hand went by instinct to her stomach where Jacob’s unborn child was growing inside her. She felt the worry rise in her body, she was afraid now. She didn’t want to start a bar fight, they always got messy she had been hit a time or two in the 3 years she had worked here. But this time she had more to think about than just herself or him, she had a baby.

She tried to keep a steady calm voice “Please, you wouldn’t hurt a woman who is with child would you” she said feeling pathetic to beg for her mercy, she didn’t want work herself up to much, it was not good for her or the baby. There were few times in the past years she had felt fear, now she was scared.

She didn’t even see Jacob as he snuck up behind the woman, she saw his hand with his dagger go around her throat pressing against it, he must have something else in the other hand as she couldn’t see it. He was telling her in a very quiet voice to drop her weapon, that voice was something had learned meant he was going to do something it wasn’t just words. She could feel the steel of the bade against her neck, frozen to where she was still keeping her eyes on the Asian woman.

She swallowing hard she felt her head growing lighter by the second. She didn’t even dare to look at Jake, she had no idea what he was doing or would be doing in the next minute, she shot him a gaze, she knew she was going to faint the room to hot, she had a sword pressed against her neck, Jacob was there but someone could come up behind him and hurt him, the air filled with the scent of human sweat, vomit and alcohol something she didn’t respond well to. She tried telling Jake with her expression she wasn’t feeling well, and she might hit the floor very soon. But she trusted him enough to know she wasn’t going to die today.

It was all too coincidental, just as Akki’s patience was beginning to grow thin she beginning to consider if the man sat in the far corner gave a damn. But as her fingers tightened their grip upon the handle of her traditional sword, the curved blade rested with an obscure perfection against the woman’s neck. Young as she was the woman had spent relentless hours learning to master her blade; the squared guard of the blade still bore its ray skin wrap was worn but still it provided the grip she needed.

The barrel of his gun was pressed to her back and his dagger to her throat, a mistake on his behalf as he only fuelled the fire. With the spin of her feet, she dropped the blade from the woman’s throat and instead focused upon the male before her. Her right hand was free from her traditional weapon and so she praised the dagger an inch from her throat, “such flattery”. The tone in her voice had shifted no longer fuelled by the desire to cause trouble, instead by the white rage that was innately designed. She cocked her head at the male, her fingers tracing across the edge of his dagger.

Her mind was devouring her options, as little as they were. His words turned into a garble of syllables, but she made out his comment on feeding her to the Kraken. To which she laughed, her lips curving into an almost humane smile. However it didn’t last long, a split second after her short laughter her face was contorted to stillness once more “Fight”. Shifting her weight backwards she put more distance between herself and his dagger, paying little attention to the gun he was still gripping.

Cold eyes traced their gaze back to the woman behind Akki, the Asian woman’s torso twisting. Her earlier words began to reply in her head ‘with child’, something behind those cold eyes shifted for a moment. “Fight or the child,” without needing to finish her sentence she jerked her occupied hand towards the woman once more. The tip of her blade only an inch from the woman’s stomach, she waited her patience returning once more. After-all the fight was only just beginning; she didn’t face him once more. It was his move now.

[pheanna-the-mermaid]

I’m sorry, but who is this Ningyo you are speaking of? 

[captainakki]

Don't play games ningyo, I am not as forgiving as some.

[pheanna-the-mermaid]

Don’t know who told you that, but if a man eats my tail it will probably only taste like fish. My tears on the other hand…

The name is Pheanna, not ningyo.

[captainakki]

Ningyo, can your tears make a man live forever?

[pheanna-the-mermaid]

That means mermaid, doesn’t it? I’ve been called that before, once… What kind of tales have you heard, miss?

[captainakki]

If a fisher catches a Ningyo he is a deadman, If he eats the tail he lives forever.

A prize worth more than gold ningyo.

[pheanna-the-mermaid]

I’m the creature that dances with the waves, sleeps with the sea, and sings more beautiful than any nightingale. My kiss can make a man breath under water.

[captainakki]

You are ningyo. I've heard tales of you.

[pheanna-the-mermaid]

To most I am but a creature from one’s imagination, no simple human girl.

[captainakki]

Curious. What exactly are you?

[pheanna-the-mermaid]

Girl, miss?

[captainakki]

Are you not?

[pheanna-the-mermaid]

*she jumped, then turned her head to look at the strange woman* That was a song about foolish men, miss.

[captainakki]

Men are more than foolish girl.

Language – Akki is unusual in that she can speak two language, at least it is unusual for a woman of her origin & era (Japan was not 'modernized' until later in the 19th Century). Her crew consists of a mix of pirates from Asian origins and an unlikely British pirate, who had spent a fair amount of time on Tortuga too. Thus as a result this native English speaking pirate helped Akki develop her language, forcing the Captain from her comfort zone. It took well over a year for the woman to seemingly crack speaking English and is far from perfect, as she cannot write at all and her reading abilities are minimal.

Speech – Akki’s speech and preference of words is parallel to when she is talking in her native tongue to her foreign tongue. Most noticeably she will talk extremely formally, almost sometimes in riddles. When spoken to by Akki you must take her words with an extremely large pinch of salt, as even though she depends on her crew for example she is crude with her words.

[pheanna-the-mermaid]

Men go abroad to wonder at the heights of mountains,

at the huge waves of the sea,

at the long courses of the rivers,

at the vast compass of the ocean,

at the circular motions of the stars,

and they pass by themselves without wondering…

[captainakki]

What?

[captainakki]

Tortuga is filled with pompous idiots, too big for the boots they wear.
