Space Pirate

The void beyond is as thrilling to some as the seas were in the distant past. Some cross this black void so as to explore it, to find riches in distant planets, to brave frontiers. You know these people well—they’re your prey. Space pirates make a living of attacking other spaceships and taking their cargo (and often the ships themselves!) as spoils. It’s a crude life, but definitely an exciting one. You used to be a space pirate, but now you find yourself without a crew.

Why did you decide to pillage out in space? What was the worst act of violence you have ever committed? Why are you no longer a pirate? What happened to your crew?

Feature:
Rough Living

You know how to make do with very little, even in open space. You can go a number of days equal to half your Constitution modifier without suffering any fatigue from lack of Supply.

Adventures and Advancement

Aside from the violence and greed, life as a voidrunner is not that different from life as a pirate. With a few adventures under your belt, perhaps enough money to get your own pirate ship, you might even consider: why not? On the other hand, your old crew might have different ideas, and any survivors from previous raids definitely have grudges of their own.

Once you have won enough fame, through either legal or illicit means, your name becomes synonymous with high adventure (and potentially a handsome reward). Your reputation means informants are eager to bring you news of potential targets and also brings you the services of 8 aspiring crewmates (use stats for a bandit ).
