Maybe you can find a few members to create a pirate crew? that would be kinda cool tbh xD
I don't know too many indies but @Fyremage got the Captain, who used to be a pirate oder something like that? At least he's still a crook I think xD (sorry if I get something worng I just woke up) Maybe he can help : 3

Thanks @Lyanna Vahlaar! And yes, feel free to PM me. I am not necessarily the master of space piracy, but am more than willing to advise. I know @Ecclessey Plays a pirate too, and @Richie B used to play one.

I archived my pirate, but I suggest

1) copy Treasure Island
2) bomb main faction target
3) become equally loved as hated
4) archive char, disappear into legends and folklore.

Worked for Turncoat Jon

*Makes note to watch Treasure Island again*

Just another question which is probably the big one, How aggressive should I be ?

Read Treasure Island*

And not aggressive per se. Makes for boring RP if done too much.

My character Geir Anbros used to be a pirate king of sorts. But i guess the most important thing to keep in mind is motivation. Why is your character a pirate and expand on it. Typically pirates don't follow the rules. Their trappings and mannerisms reflect that.

Also, be from this totally dope planet: [Click-me!]

#humblebrag

Also, for realsies now, I'd recommend reading up on a few of the more famous pirates and really attempting to understand what made them want to "Pirate" lol. The best inspiration comes from reality in my opinion. Just be sure that your character isn't a carbon copy.

don't forget the mandatory cybernetic.

cybernetic leg is a must. Especially if you want the stereotypical dramatic entrance.

@Triter Zonne has a cool character that you might want to work with. Me, and @Rorren are smugglers so if you ever want to face off, let me know.
