What is his style of captaining for his ship?: he’s a tough captain, a fan of punishment for blunders or slackers (cat o’ nine tails, menial/difficult chores, etc etc).

What does he feel about other pirates?: It’s all a bit of a sport to him; worthy rivals, mostly, that he respects but he Will engage if they cross him. He’s not above ceasefires and allies, but he takes the phrase “keeps your friends close and enemies closer” to heart.
Whats the name of his ship?: Y'know I hadn’t thought of that, so I might as well write a good name down. I’d imagine he’d name it something that hearkens back to his origins, so i’ll go with Tyrulu’s Ire.
Does he have any rival ships?: He used to. He talks often about his crew’s victory against The Blackfang and her crew.
What are the worst crimes he would admit to doing?: He steals, kills, and loots. Typical pirate stuff jfkjslf. He keeps to his own kind of code of honor, to be explained in the next question.
Does he have any personal rules/morals and things he would NEVER do?: He’s a BIG believer of freedom and self-determination; he does not capture (if he can help it), he does not believe in bartering lives as objects. He kills those who get in his way, he kills people he deems truly despicable, and he tries to free those he finds captured, whether by the law or not.
Being elonian what does he think of joko?: A despicable person who deals in lives as if they’re objects.

Now, they’re just another group he pities, but is glad they’re free.
His favorite food?: Lobster bisque or seared tuna, depending on what he’s in the mood for. He has a high-class palate, and indulges in the riches he’s accumulated.
