A role that is often understated and sometimes flat-out forgotten about is that of the musician. While some people would insist such a role is superfluous, any pirate worth their salt know you can't sail the open seas without laughter and music to blaze your trail.
Musicians keep their crew happy with performance, song and dance. They lift the tired spirits and weary bodies of their crewmates after gruesome fights or violent storms, revivifying them with joy and hope to carry on with their journey through any hardships they may face.
A good musician know that an adventure is only worth it if everyone is smiling at the end of the day, and through their performances they make sure that no matter what dangers await them, the crew will be able to face it with their spirits and courage ablaze.
