Pirate Crew

You sailed on a seafaring vessel for years. In that time, you faced down mighty storms, monsters of the deep, and those who wanted to sink your craft to the bottomless depths. You gained a notorious reputation for you, your ship and crew. The port cities fear you and the military has never been able to catch you. You have always loved the freedom of the open ocean and the mysteries that it brings.

Were you on a ship that was sunk and you washed up on shore? Was your ship raided by pirates who took everything you had and you'll do anything to take it back? Were you an honest sailor who has changed course and is trying to make a reputation for yourself as a pirate?
