All pirates need a gimic, that is one thing that makes them stand out, back in the high pirate seas a pirate Captain called Blackbeard would put cannon fuses into his beard and light them. When faced with a Captain like that you would hand over your ship without drawing a sword. Now in my parents day it wasn't about scaring people, it was about getting your crew to stay and work for you. My father was Reliant Red, he was a great man who helped anyone he could. He made a living from chasing sea monsters for fishermen, there was money in that and he learnt pretty quickly that monster's hate Red. So thats all he wore and that bought in money and kept his crew working.
I don't have a crew, well except first mate Dixie and I don't rob ships so finding a gimic was hard. My red sails showed who my father was and bought me respect from other ships so that wasn't it. It took me years to find it and I have already mentioned what it is, can you guess?
My cat was my unique pirate thing, no pirate in history was know for a cat as first mate and it is very useful in fighting monsters to have a friend so small and quiet
