I very much like the defector route, someone who maybe tried to see the benefits and the bigger picture of what they were doing, but couldn't keep all the rationalizations and justifications juggled until they all came crashing down. And when they did see the truth for what it was, you can't just forget about that. It stays with you, something specific and small, that you don't let go of because of all the other things it represents.

But in a world of pirates and shady government ties, of loud boastful rhetoric and cut-throat backroom deals and an assumed 'cost of doing business', you wonder if maybe you're not just making the same mistake you were before. If what you're doing is actually right, or just a more comfortable sort of wrong.

Hence the background. What was done or seen lit a fire, echos of the old life trying to fight the good fight with pride and skill, but a bit brittle because even here, you still see things that you have to accept or avoid thinking about.

Determined but Scatterbrained just sounds like a delightfully amusing combination. I also prefer a non-pirate background.

Let nobody say that I never tried making a plan!
 
The "He" vote appears to be winning for now, so let me just say it right now to prevent misunderstandings in the future.

I'm not against gay.

However, I am against Owusu.

He's... meh. We can do better. J(?) looks more attractive from where I'm standing.

Also, Heart of Gold comes surprisingly close to being a dashing pirate Owusu, so it'd be a little like romancing ourselves.

That's all for now.

We might actually be the worst pirate you've ever heard of.

But you have heard of us.
 
I do think that while this vote will matter... it won't matter as much as you might think. Or rather, we chose "graceful" as the trait for the last Quest, and yet became most known for having managed to clever our way into being a spook, which would make you think we'd chosen "clever" or "conniving" or at least "practical" instead of what we did (not that I think either of the three were options, but you know what I mean.)
