[@XSilentWingsX] - Reserved!  Have fun :)

[@71342] - Good question!  I suppose the answer is a li'l a both, but heavy on the pirate.  My character sees himself as better than the pirate life, and he's 'forced into it' because of some other people who he blames and is out for vengeance against.  And because of the Universus Doctrine, the [i]Aleph Null[/i] has to be registered.  He's going to register it as a bounty-hunting guild ship, which means there'll be plenty of time fighting against pirates to prove that he's not a pirate.  But at the end of the day, he's a pirate because he boards and loots rich people's vessels.  Others can play as a straight pirate in his crew, or a similarly deluded 'good guy' who's screwing up royally, or maybe as an undercover agent from one of the navies in the Universus Doctrine, trying to bring them down from the inside.  Or maybe you're taken hostage because you know something the captain wants, and are forced to work with them; or maybe you're a legitimate client who's hired us but wants to see the job through personally.  I guess the default is "yeah we're all pirates" but there's a lot of flexibility in that if you want to play a different kind of character.

[@Kimiyosis] - the one and only!  Wanna make my Quartermaster Horner, or Tychus? :)
