Re: Pedantic character templates
Those aren't pirates, those are Englishmen. Pirates are people from Piraeus who happen to be no doubt unfairly slandered as having a disproportionate number of sea robbers and slave takers among their number. Englishmen are another ethnic group which has historically been involved in such enterprises.
People from Piraeus probably would have seamanship though.

Re: Pedantic character templates
It originally meant cloth goods. As opposed to metal goods: hardware.
