Re: [OOC] The Tavern
One last piece of consideration is that at some point in this game, you (collectively speaking) will be given a ship and a crew and everyone will turn to you guys and say "what do we do now?" and the answer had better be "let's go be f***ing pirates!"
This isn't a hero game. This isn't a "let's go do nice things for nice people" game. This is a f***ing "shoot holes in that ship, board them and take their stuff before fleeing the sea cops" game.
THAT BEING SAID there is still room for good in here. You can decide to take your share and Robin hood it up by using the stolen booty to buy orphanages and schools for homeless veteran orphans. You can decide to only take "half" the stuff you find. Or a 1/3rd or something. You can even decide that you're only going to prey on big merchant consortiums or rip off other pirates (although note that is playing the game on super hard mode) but at the end of the day you will be killing people to steal their gold.
If that doesn't gel with your character now is the time to treat them like an etch-a-sketch, give them a good shake and rewrite their motivations/personality/backstory or whatever to get them to the point where they will gleefully swing aboard someone else's ship with a knife in each hand (and one in the teeth for good measure) and add lots of holes to anyone standing between them and the giant chest bursting with gold.
