You are The Cap'n!

Some men and women are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any scalawag who stands between them and unlimited power. You never met a man - or woman - you couldn't eviscerate. You are the definitive Man of Action, the CEO of the Seven Seas, Lee Iacocca in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. You're mission-oriented, and if anyone gets in the way, that's his problem, now isn't? Your buckle was swashed long ago and you have never been so sure of anything as your ability to bend everyone to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off his head if he shows any sign of taking you on or backing down. If one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones' locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed - a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not.

We have a real pirate in our family tree, not a direct line, but close enough to be interesting. His name was William Moore and he was the chief mate to Captain Kidd, the chief mate that Kidd was hung for killing. Moore was allegedly the guy who started the mutiny on Kidd’s ship and Kidd killed him to end the mutiny. There were songs and stories about him that were passed down for generations.

You are The Pirate

Do you remember the last time you took a chance? It was when you decided to leave the security of your mother's womb and headed for the bright light. It's time to head for the next bright light, my friend. Creativity is not your strong suit. You are good at doing what you are told to do and that, in itself, is a gift. It's not a gift to you, mind you, but a gift to those who will be there to tell you what to do. You like long walks on the beach and cuddling, but would never admit that to your pirate pals who think you are okay but can't always remember your name. Tapioca pudding seems a bit extreme for someone such as yourself, what with all the bumps and stuff. It's a good thing you are on a pirate ship, otherwise, you would be walking because you are positively pedestrian. Have a nice day.

They're right about the tapioca.

Yarr har, Matey! We had us a nasty little history pedant here who sez, "they didn't talk like that," he sez. We keelhauled the buggerblaster off of high Jamaica, we did. Now they do, ye lubber! Spit that out yer barnacle-infested gob, begar!

'Tis a different time now, a different Navy. If a toff wearin' a sash comes up to ye and sez, "I'm the ship's LGBT Diversity Officer!" ye'd better not ask him to shiver yer timbers.
