Dreaded Pirate

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 unsavory
reputation in many a port town.
If you decide that your sailing career involved piracy,
you can choose the Bad Reputation feature (see sidebar)
instead of the Ship's Passage feature.

Suggested Characteristics

Sailors can be a rough lot, but the responsibilities of
life on a ship make them generally reliable as well. Life
aboard a ship shapes their outlook and forms their most
important attachments.
