Name: Lyza Navy
Aliases: The Captain, the umibozu, the youkai captain, the Captain of the Flying Dutchman
Species: Umibozu
Occupation: Pirate Captain of the Flying Dutchman
Abilities/skills: Before becoming a youkai Lyza was known for being the best duelist in the seas. She was able to best several people in combat, easily disarming, and killing them. Her skills with the sword and combat prowess only got more dangerous after becoming a youkai which made her reflexes and strength greater. The captain can turn her hair into tendrils to be used for piercing people or extending out to pick up weapons for her to use.
Lyza has the power to manipulate sunken ships though it has to be the ones she sank. The captain can overcome this by manipulating it in a way that if she has one of her sunken ships sink another ship she can manipulate it into becoming hers. And even beyond that, there are many ways that one can interpret as her sinking a ship.
Personality/appearance: Lyza Navy is a pirate who likes the act of piracy and is prideful of her achievements as one. She is known for her rather ruthless and fierce nature as she would not hesitate to kill someone if the situation calls for it or if someone messes with her crew. Despite being a pirate Lyza has honor and would not kill innocent/helpless people in a fight. She is also kind and easy going at least toward her crew and friends.
Lyza has black hair, blue eyes, and has a featureless black mask whose only traits are the holes for the eyes. She wears a red pirate coat, a black knee-length skirt, and black pirate boots. She wears a captain hat with her flag on it: the symbol has a skull crossed with the Sunken Fang and a flintlock pistol. In the right eye of it is the pearl that turned Lyza's crew into youkais and it wears a pirate captain hat.
Possessions: Lyza wields a saber named the Sunken Fang. Originally it was through that sword the captain was originally able to manipulate sunken ships, but after becoming a youkai she no longer needs to use the sword to manipulate sunken ships.
Backstory: In the golden age of piracy, Lyza was a fearsome pirate who plundered many ships and towns of their gold. She was the captain of the Flying Dutchman which she and her crew commanded to a very good degree to rob everyone of their gold and amassed a large amount of gold making them the richest pirates in the history of the world.
Lyza heard about the rumors about a treasure that would prolong the life of those it finds worthy and had her crew try to search for it. Their efforts proved rewarding as they came across the map of the treasure that makes one live longer than any human if it considers you worthy. They traveled over there and came across the treasure, which is a pearl of a very dark shade of navy blue with some black; it would have turned those found unworthy into freaky monsters if they are found unworthy.
However, Lyza and all of her crew present were found worthy by the treasure and so were turned into youkai with the captain becoming an umibozu. Lyza and her crew's reputation and infamy started to become more infamous, and they quickly became mythical figures in the history books and by pirates alike. But good things come to an end and when the Golden Age of Piracy ended the Flying Dutchman and her crew sank with it due to the lack of faith when it comes to piracy.
Lyza then commanded her first mate, Seafin Sharktooth to have the rest of the crew be put to sleep and had her sea creatures guard the Flying Dutchman against unwanted guests. Despite being submerged she along with her other higher-ranked crewmembers could still go to the surface and due to this have been informed about the current events after the Age of Piracy. Lyza and the rest of the crew's most favorite things after the end of the Age of Piracy are the first, second, and third movies of the movie franchise Pirates of the Caribbean.
Later on, Lyza and the crew of Flying Dutchman along with the legendary ship itself are then transported to the newly created Dragon Sea of Gensokyo in the same way that Toyosatomimi no Miko's mausoleum was transported to the land of illusions. Due to the belief in the gods, youkais, and magic being high there, the Flying Dutchman would be able to emerge from underwater after centuries of being kept there. Before ordering the Flying Dutchman to emerge, Lyza ordered Seafin to have the rest of her crew be awakened after sleeping for so long and had Calypso create a maelstrom in the middle of the Dragon Sea, which in turn caused the Flying Dutchman Incident.
Lyza was hoping to have the age of piracy begin again and the way she would do so is by ransacking and plundering the valuables and gold of the inhabitants. However, the captain and her crew were defeated by the incident resolvers who were all relaxing at Dragon Beach until the captain had Calypso create the Maelstrom. Lyza herself would be defeated by Junko.
Despite failing to bring back the age of piracy Lyza and her crew continue to conduct mock raids on the factions of Gensokyo (Lyza warns them beforehand and also ask for permission). This is to hopefully get them to be prepared if the age of piracy does come back once again and to give her crew a purpose.
Relationships:
Calypso: Lyza first met Calypso when she heard about a voodoo sorceress who can help with explaining some voodoo treasure that she and her crew have found. Upon their first meeting, Lyza fell in love with her at first sight due to the sorceress's beauty and personality. Two meetings later Lyza would confess her love to Calypso, who then tried to tell her that a relationship is going to end badly because she is a goddess and the captain is a mortal meaning she would ultimately die of old age. But she hid the fact that she was in love with her as well. However, Lyza would return to the crab goddess but now as a youkai which would prompt the captain and Calypso to become official lovers.
Helga Calamary: Helga is Lyza's pet. When she was a baby squid Lyza adopted her as a pet due to taking a liking to her when they first met. Lyza usually sends Helga on strike missions in her true form to attack vessels so as to have it be easier for her crew and herself to easily steal the sunken treasure abroad. Though Lyza orders the Kraken to do it because she knows that Helga would do it in the end.
Seafin Sharktooth: Seafin is Lyza's loyal first mate of the Flying Dutchman ever since the two met. When Seafin was young she had a rough and abusive childhood due to the fact that she was sold into slavery. However, Lyza saved Seafin from a fate worse than death and also had all the slavers be executed.
Sirena Marine: Sirena is Lyza's lookout. Sirena is a mermaid who was captured by a group of rival pirates of Lyza. Lyza had the rival pirates be slaughtered after learning of what they did to the mermaid which has caused her to be traumatized aboard their ship. Lyza then took Sirena by her side, and after this incident, the mermaid would never leave her captain's side.
Seasalt: Seasalt is Lyza's navigator. Lyza has Seasalt be the one to navigate the seas back in the Age of Piracy and she has her use her powers to manipulate salt to find the way through the sea.
The Crew of the Flying Dutchman: All of the crew of the Flying Dutchman have respect and admiration toward Lyza as their captain. They won't be abandoning or mutinying anytime soon in the youkai captain's lifetime.
Minamitsu Murasa: Murasa and Lyza get along particularly well due to the fact that the two like each other's powers and ships. Lyza also invited Murasa to come and join her with sailing the Flying Dutchman or flying it throughout Gensokyo.
Junko: Lyza and Junko got along well despite the former being defeated by the latter. She even has high respect for the Divine Spirit after learning that she was able to outsmart the moon and inhabitants.
Theme Song:
Shantae and the Pirate's Curse OST Final Boss Theme
A/n: Lyza is actually based on Davy Jones from the movie franchise Pirates of the Caribbean alongside some of the other characters from there as well. Plus I really like POTC a lot.
