You spent your youth under the sway of a dread pirate, a ruthless cutthroat who taught you how to survive in a world of sharks and savages. You've indulged in larceny on the high seas and sent more than one deserving soul to a briny grave. Fear and bloodshed are no strangers to you, and you've garnered a somewhat unsavoury reputation in many a port town.

Place in the Crew
Everyone in the crew has a specific job and set of responsibilities.
| D6 | Place in the crew |
|---|---|
| 1 | Captain. you are the master of the ship. Your word is your bond and is as good as the law. |
| 2 | First mate. You are used to being the second in command. You are the eyes, ears, and mouth of the captain. Loyalty is the most important thing to you. |
| 3 | Boarding party. You are the tip of the spear, you specialise in close combat and creating fear in your enemies. |
| 4 | Slave. You come from a low place in the world, doing all of the cleaning and maintenance onboard the ship. Nobody knows all the crooks and crannies of a ship like you do. |
| 5 | Cook. A hungry crew is a useless crew. You are a master at creating ship food that seems edible. |
| 6 | Ambassador. Every ship needs someone who can go on land or aboard other ships and be the public face of the crew. Someone who can look and seem trustworthy and law-abiding, that is you. You are a silver-tongued con-man. |
Feature: Bad Reputation
No matter where you go, people are afraid of you due to your reputation. When you are in a civilized settlement, you can get away with minor criminal offences, such as refusing to pay for food at a tavern or breaking down doors at a local shop, since most people will not report your activity to the authorities
