Pirate Captain

You are/were the captain of a crew of pirates.  You have fought many a battle, found priceless treasure, and bested the beasts of the sea, law men, and other pirates. You gained enough respect from your crew to be promoted from captain, and have been acknowledged by many as a fearsome captain. You have braved some of the fiercest storms, and lived to tell the tail. Bloodshed and the pursuit of treasure are no strangers to you, and you've gained an unsavory reputation in many a port town and across the high seas.

Suggested Characteristics

Most pirates are unsavory figures of questionable moral character, although many pirates have a moral code of their own, even though it may be different from the one the average member of polite society adheres to.  Flaws may be overconfidence or a nagging, guilty conscience over your bad deeds.
