Buccaneer
A tabaxi is rushing through a city and finds herself surrounded by bandit. One lunges and she dodges, slashing the bandit with her rapier. She then fires her pistol, taking out another bandit. Three more bandits attack but the tabaxi climbs up a nearby building to escape before they can act.
A human is on a ship that is caught in a storm. He leaps, dashes, and moves with amazing speed and agility to keep the ship above the water. A huge wave attacks the ship and almost immediately after it leaves, the human is fixing the damage while using magic to hold back another wave.
All of these heroes are buccaneers, dashing warriors who are free, swashbuckling folk heroes of gunpowder, gold, and magic.
Free-style Fighters
The unique trait of a buccaneer is their ability to create new fighting moves on the spot, customizing their styles and weapons. Buccaneers are lone folk heroes who commonly protect and help their home cities and towns. They enjoy boasting and showing off their cool styles in taverns after fending off threats to their hometowns.
No Two buccaneers are the Same
No two buccaneers are the same. they can come in all shapes and sizes with many different abilities and features. One might be a wise spellcaster who owns a loyal parrot while another might be a swashbuckling pirate who can create fake money. They all share one thing in common, though: their ability to create their own fighting styles and moves on the spot.
Creating a Buccaneer
As you build your buccaneer, think about your background and personal description: What kind of a buccaneer are you? A wise spellcaster? A navy man bonded to a parrot? A counterfeiting pirate? A daring swashbuckler? A peaceful man of high willpower? A ghostly thief? Or something else entirely?
What made you decide to be the wild card in the bunch? What kind of styles and moves do you create in the middle of battle? You may be already well-known for your good or bad deeds or you may be a secret hero or thief. What is your closest bond? Remember: you are free to choose almost any path you want.
