Many years ago, you used to sail the seas with your humble crew. Whether you were the captain or just the cook, everyone thought of each other as a team and you all were always there for each other. You all would explore a variety of different places whether it is cold, hot, safe, or dangerous and you all would find a way to get through every obstacle. But whether it was because you got tired of your sea life or you had to be removed from it for other reasons, you now just spend your time trying to better yourself.
You have great knowledge of the sea and of the surrounding areas that you have sailed. This knowledge could be of land that you have discovered, knowledge of sea life in certain parts of water, or how to properly navigate the sea. You also know of contacts that could either be your old crewmate or even those who you might have met in other parts of the sea.
