Not those ones. Not these, either. And, uh -- not them. Dashing villains who lived free on the open sea, with a parrot on their shoulder, a cutlass in their hand and a chest full o' gold. Fond o' drinking and prone ta fights, out to live "a short life and a merry one." The pirates we know and love were greatly influenced by those of Peter Pan and Treasure Island. They tend to come in two varieties: Marauding Brutes: Some pirates are major threats whenever they appear. Seeing the Jolly Roger on the horizon is bad news for the dashing, clean-cut heroes, who will soon have to deal with a wave of unwashed brutes intent on looting as much as they can, killing the crew after prolonged torture to ensure they aren't holding back treasure and pure cruelty as well, and… ahem… "abducting" the women. Generally the easy go-to bad guys for anything in The Cavalier Years. These pirates are pure evil. They have, in fact, thoroughly earned their Real Life designation hostes humani generis or, in literal Latin, "enemies of the human race". Real Life pirates would often cultivate this kind of image to instill fear and terror in their victims and targets, making for surrender quicker and easier. Roguish Scoundrels: Pirates featured as dashing romantic heroes and rebels, ranging from the rather goofy to the totally rebellious; generally, they follow a code of honor. Frequently featured as The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything to prevent their romantic aura being tainted by them harming innocents. The Romantics were fond of this trope, as in Lord Byron's The Corsair. It appeared in Gilbert and Sullivan's The Pirates of Penzance with pirates who can not oppress an orphan (and swallow any and all claims to be an orphan) and are easily overcome by appealing to their loyalty to Queen Victoria. In Real Life, this type of pirate tended to overlap with Privateers (people commissioned by a government during wartime to capture enemy vessels or otherwise cause problems for enemy ships, and paid with the prizes they took). The Spanish viewed Sir Francis Drake as a pirate, and the British, John Paul Jones (not remotely that one). Many fictional pirates demonstrate some principles by preying only on their nation's enemies, or only the Evil Overlord's, etc., despite the lack of official letters of marque. Both types are among The Oldest Ones in the Book, and can, indeed, be found in the same works. In fact, piracy is a very old tradition that dates back to the Late Bronze Age in the form of the Sea Peoples, a confederation of raiders from Europe and the Middle East that frequently attacked Ancient Egypt. Pirate tropes include: Talking like a Pirate. An accent from The West Country. Lots of nautical slang. Swearing "like a sailor" to the degree that can be gotten away with—which mostly consists of lots of "Son of a Dutchman!" or, in extreme cases, "Son of a double-Dutchman!" Dressing like a Pirate. Earrings and colourful clothes. Any combination of peg leg, Hook Hand, and eye patch. A hat, usually a tricorne or bandana (though other styles like cavalier hats and knit caps are also common). Cavalier or "bucket" boots, shoes with large fancy buckles, or going barefoot. Sporting long hair, often unkempt or in dreadlocks, and maybe a Seadog Beard or mustache, which may be the source of one's pirate moniker. Sailing aboard a Cool Boat, while being tougher than nails themselves Making victims Walk the Plank A Boarding Party swinging on ropes to the luckless vessel alongside. Marooning—and they Leave Behind a Pistol. Wreaking havoc on coastal towns Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: Pirate crews are prone to mutiny once the captain kicks the dog too hard, or doesn't give them a satisfying part of the loot. The leader of the mutiny may end up being betrayed himself. Buried treasure Treasure maps, to find it with. The skull-and-crossbones Jolly Roger. Or with their own grim designs to show just who is flying it. Sometimes they would fly red-colored flags called Joli Rouge ("Pretty Red" in French, which is thought to be where the term "Jolly Roger" comes from) with the intent to show no quarter. Captains elected by their crew (although real sailors that mutinied and became pirates actually did this) A Scoundrel Code often with Honor Among Thieves for the Roguish type, or No Honor Among Thieves for the Brutish ones. Keeping your buckler shield swashed at all times. Buxom female pirates, as well as pirate wenches working as slaves. Villain by Default for the first, and Just Like Robin Hood for the second. Lots of tattoos. Fighting with a flintlock in one hand and a cutlass in the other. Carrying a Pirate Parrot on the shoulder. Or even a monkey. Or any kind of animal that normally don't associate with pirates. Singing sea shanties, especially about plundering and loot. Sporting a piratical name like Captain Colorbeard or Long John Shout Out. In fiction, pirates can be found primarily in the Caribbean, a few hundred years ago, but they pop up anywhere and everywhere so any seafaring hero can expect to meet pirates at least once whether in Feudal Japan or even Ancient Greece. Elizabethan-era privateers (such as the aforementioned Sir Francis Drake) used to be quite popular but have fallen out of favour in recent decades. Space Pirates occur in the far future, sailing the ocean of space. They usually throw people out of the airlock rather than making them Walk the Plank, and may substitute some alien flier for the parrot. Sky Pirates have flying vehicles but otherwise resemble the standard Pirate. Friendly Pirates are a popular variant who have all the classic trappings of piracy but don’t bother to engage in any of the morally dubious piratical activities. If the pirates are mixed up with the occult, expect voodoo, zombies and/or skeletons (sometimes including the pirates themselves), and cursed treasure. Not to be confused with real pirates. Were you attacked by pirates around the 1700s, the "nicest" you could hope for would probably lean towards Chaotic Good—they would steal your things but might not harm you (likely for pragmatic reasons: a crew that got a reputation for accepting surrenders and not massacring prisoners would be more likely to see more surrenders in the future, making their "job" a whole lot safer and easier for them). Modern day piracy is less covered in fiction, with the 1979 Soviet film Piraty XX veka ("Pirates of the 20th Century", one of the first real Soviet "action" films) and the Japanese anime Black Lagoon being some of the few rare examples. So far, the pirates currently active off the coast of Somalia have been interested in money, not lives (indeed, their "business model" is based on extorting ransom from the shipping companies), but the entire meme of pirates is in danger of becoming Harsher in Hindsight these days. Note that in fiction, many Pirate Captains are presented as absolute masters of their ship, with The Mutiny being regarded as just as serious as on merchant or naval ships. In Real Life, the "lawless men"—who rebelled against the very notion of having masters—often constructed crude democracies. It was not uncommon for the captains of large, organized vessels had absolute command only in battle; out of battle, he could be freely deposed—and often marooned—for incompetence. Even those that did comprise the single authority on their ship could find themselves out of the job if they screwed up enough. For some reason, there's a running joke about them being the arch-enemies of Ninjas. Honored every September 19th with International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Reading/watching/playing any of the below works, at least in parrrt, would be a good way to celebrate. See Pirate Tropes for a full list of tropes associated with pirates and their kin. Compare the Outlaw, the Western-themed equivalent of the pirates. |

Villain Song | |
Pirate / int_1ccad9a3 | comment |
Both songs could be seen as the Villain Songs of the two different types of pirates, with "Shiver My Timbers" for the Brutes, portraying them as greedy murauders who even the Devil himself would have to call them scum, and "A Professional Pirate" for the Rogues who see themselves as honorable members of a criminal group and Loveable Rogues. | |

The Dreaded | |
Pirate / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
While the Greyjoys are somewhere between this and Norse Raiders, Euron "Crow's Eye" Greyjoy is explicitly stated to be a pirate, among other things, before his first appearance. He's very much a Brutish one, raiding, killing and raping as he pleases, and amply earning his reputation as The Dreaded. | |

Pirate / int_2c5842f0 | comment |
The Takers, a Two Fisted Tale by Jerry Ahern, has the protagonists having to battle the modern-day version when the owner of the yacht they chartered plans to get rid of it in an insurance scam. Which would be made more authentic by their deaths. | |

The Shlosharim, an Israeli pop trio from the late 1960s recorded a song titled "Were I a Pirate," about a man fantasizing of being a Roguish pirate for his beloved. | |

Expansion Pack | |
Pirate / int_440d55b3 | comment |
With the Legion Expansion Pack, the Rogue specialisation Combat, already something like the Swashbuckler, was changed to "Outlaw", with lots of its abilities changed to pirate-themed ones — blunderbusses, ghost ships, parley, etc. It was pretty obvious, but Blizzard seemed reluctant to admit the new theme was "pirate" more than anything else. | |

Reality-On-The-Norm has the recurring character Hooky McPegleg, who came to Reality-on-the-Norm in hopes of finding treasure and later became the town's postman—oh, I'm sorry: "Pirate Postman". There's also his archenemy No-Beard. | |

Intrepid Merchant | |
Pirate / int_5aa8b4b6 | comment |
In many times and places periods everyone at sea was a potential pirate because hard as it was to enforce law on land it was even harder at sea and few rulers bothered-many were even sponsors of piracy themselves (a custom which evolved into the more formalized privateering). A lot was a matter of degree; some ships were Intrepid Merchant ships that happened to go raiding when chance arose and others were raiders that also happened to buy and sell, all across the spectrum. | |

Eyepatch of Power | |
Pirate / int_5c5d0032 | comment |
In 1995, Carl Ouelett (formerly known as Pierre, of The Quebecers) was repackaged as Jean-Pierre Lafitte, a Cajun pirate who wore an Eyepatch of Power.note Ouelett actually had a glass eye. He was quickly put into a feud with Bret Hart, and was originally booked to end Kevin "Diesel" Nash's one-year title reign. However, Executive Meddling on the part of Shawn Michaels saw that not only did Lafitte lose the match (in his hometown of Montreal), but was then buried for the remainder of his WWF tenure. | |

This is the hat of the Lhazaar Principalities. Numerous sources have noted that legitimate Lhazaarite merchantmen will not hesitate to engage in piracy if the opportunity arises or if they are down on their luck. | |

A pirate ship and her crew are docked in the Imperial City's waterfront and an early Dark Brotherhood mission involves assassinating their captain. Surprisingly (for Bethesda, "The company with only six VA's") two of the nameless mook pirates have unique voices with the appropriate accent. | |

Invoked Trope | |
Pirate / int_72e0023f | comment |
Invoked in Patricia A. McKillip's The Bell at Sealey Head, Dalia wants Gwyneth to write about pirates. When Raven objects that pirates are uncouth and wouldn't know what to do with tea—probably use the teapot to drink rum—Dalia objects that she wants nice pirates who were driven to it and would be glad to give it up. | |

Cyrus the Restless from the series' spin-off Action-Adventure game Redguard is of the Lovable Rogue variety. He also might be an incarnation of the Redguard/Yokudan god, the HoonDing, the "Make Way" god who manifests whenever the Yokudan/Redguard people need a place to live. | |

The airships of the setting also open the door to Sky Pirates, though getting the funds to purchase and man an airship, and controlling one is quite difficult without the Mark of Storm, makes this an expensive proposition. | |

Pirate / int_823c6e3e | comment |
Also on British TV in the '80s was Long John Silver's Return to Treasure Island, which with modern sensibilities, contrasted "evil" Silver, who looted and pillaged with "good guy" Trelawney who owned a whole plantation full of slaves. Better yet, silver was played by the largest Large Ham of them all, BRIAN BLESSED. Shiver Me Timbers! | |

Berserk Button | |
Pirate / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Prior to winning the World Of STARDOM title, 15th century captain themed entrance attire was a trademark of "Pirate Princess" Kairi Hojo. Even after the belt, her music was only less obvious in its Pirates Of The Caribbean influence than Burchill's. Despite taking on a more subdued look she still exploded when Hudson Envy suggested Hojo was not a pirate. | |

Chaotic Good | |
Pirate / int_e0b0d4b3 | comment |
The Straw Hats are SO Chaotic Good that they're never even shown (successfully) stealing loot. Lampshaded in the Skypiea arc, when they tries to steal a bag of gold... except that the owners of said gold had just decided to give it to them as a reward. Luffy was a better thief when he was a vagrant. The exception to this rule is Nami, a rather shameless and highly skilled thief and con artist. | |

Cliché Storm | |
Pirate / int_f300ca44 | comment |
In particular, Booty Bay is pirate-themed, and there's a Cliché Storm of a questline where you infiltrtate the Bloodsail Buccaneers and go through every pirate cliché they could fit it. Even Pirates vs. Ninjas — the only reason given for the ninjas being there is basically that they're doing that trope, too. | |
