Bloody Sam Kidd
Every pirate lives for something different. For some, it’s the open sea. For others (the masochists), it’s the food. For you, it’s definitely the fighting. Even though you’re not always the traditional swaggering gallant, your steadiness and planning make you a fine, reliable pirate. Arr!
HARRRRRRRR! **danceswithcats** ye were supposed to be remindin’ us of this long before now. Ye’ll walk the plank for this mistake ye scurvy dog! HARRRRRR!
