Who do they think would make the worst captain, and why?   Describe a nightmare that has stuck with your character.

1. While Huey thinks Catani would be the best option on most fronts, there's a strong possibility that she'll have no interest in the new crew. His second choice would be Inami, not just because he's good friends with her, but because she has the potential to be a decent leader. She's charismatic and laid-back, so much so that nothing seems to faze her. So any petty squabbles between the crew or threats from a rival gang wouldn't be enough to shake her. Despite her casual attitude, her skill with both physical combat and magic put others to shame and would make her an intimidating presence on the sea.   The worst choice would be...Amelia. As much as Huey likes her, she's much too arrogant and egotistical to handle being a leader without stepping on someone else's toes. Her wild party girl image might make her a star among some amateur crew members, but as a leader, it'd be highly irresponsible and could lead to disaster. He thinks the potential is in her, but at her current state, that potential hasn't been refined enough for such a position.   2. After Amelia's brush with death, there's been a lingering worry within him that anyone of them will be gone in an instant. It's the risk of being a pirate after all, but with how close he's grown to much of the crew, he's not willing to accept that reality. In his nightmares, he has no choice but to watch as they're slain before him and no matter how hard he tries to fight back against the enemy, it's not enough to save his friends. When they've all fallen, he's given no room to process the pain he's feeling before they descend on him next. He feels cold. Then there's darkness. The world carries on as if nothing had happened because in the eyes of the majority, they were nothing more than a face on a wanted poster. Their stories are forgotten, their treasures are lost, and Huey's pulled back into the eternal ring, his identity erased as he's born back into the world as someone new.

1) TT knows she's not one for a leadership position, infact its rather fortunate her new position on the old ship was one that had little interaction with many people. She maybe popular with the crew, but shes a friend, not a boss. If she could pick the new captain, and it had to be a current crew member, shed pick Inami, atleast as acting captain until a more suitable person was found. And Tonari as quartermaster!   Antic, oh god, do I need to say why? Amelia might be an airheaded ass worried only about her own self interest as captain, but Antic would either make them all very wealthy by constantly hammering away with 100% of their resources against the same problem, or immediately trigger a mutiny where theyre all hanged and thrown into the sea.   2) She famously has one major fear, a final recapture by the elves- though in reality this could extend to any sort of containment. TT is one for freedom, she loves the sea, she loves ship life. Her heart wouldnt be sated by sitting in some castle or estate with a dragon's horde of gold. To have that taken away would be hell for her.

1. Amelia believes the best captain would be herself of course i mean shes been a pirate for a while and was raised to be a queen she can lead everyone plus the crew adores her shes a hero to some has (most of) their respect and some of (mostly exes) their fear plus captain amelia has a nice ring to it. As for the worst obviously noah dude dosnt even know what hes doing on the ship plus ever since ocks been in that coma hes only been there .....now if were excluding people like noah because obviasly the worst would be Nathan he dosnt have enough of a backbone to be a captain and his people skills arnt the best plus dudes cursed.   2. A nightmare that has stuck with her has been of the day she died she cant remember what the afterlife was like all she remembers was fire and brimstone so that leaves her imagination to wander thinking of worst that could have happened.
