You are an officer…
of His Majesty’s Navy, a captain by courtesy, master and commander of a unrefined crew aboard an under-gunned sloop. She doesn’t look like much, but you love her like a mother loves a babe. Together, you’ll strike terror into your nation’s evil enemies and defend your way of life in the most treacherous and thrilling place on Earth. Your orders are sealed, the guns run out, the slow match is lit and your task is clear… but you have to provide the bravery.
You are a freetrader…
an self-governing merchant adventurer tied to no company or nation. You are the wind that fulls the sails of a booming new world economy. You are an explorer, seeking lost treasures, undiscovered wealth, and fatal secrets that will bring you prominence, prosperity, and glory. Most of all, you are the master of your own ship, and your own sphere. Others inherit wealth … you will forge yours on the Burning Sea.
You hold a letter of marque signed by the Sovereign…
and you are charged with hunting down and annihilating the enemies of the crown anywhere you may find them. Though your foes call you “villain” and “pirate,” to your nation you are a gallant hero and the epitome of valor. You are a privateer. You do the missions that no one else can… and take the rewards that are your due.
You serve no one but yourself and your Merry Crew…
You live a life of independence in the first true democracy the world has seen in millennia, sailing where you wish, taking what you want, and devil take the hindmost. Your articles are your creed; your cutlass and pistol are your most faithful friends. You are a pirate, a buccaneer, a brigand of the sea. Your life may be a short one but you will make certain it’s a happy one, and you couldn’t care less if it makes life tricky for gluttonous merchantmen and glorious fortune fleets.
