    He almost seems more like a Charrismatic Lord/Drunkarrds Mix than a pure Drunkarrd. Also, are we sure he gets his awesome from his alcoholism?

    Also, amusingly enough, Errol Flynn was the original inspiration. Although, old pirate movies and the Pirates of the Caribbean movies provided some inspiration as well.

    Description: Sadly enough, the most I remember of Tin Tin is watching the Cartoon on HBO when I was like 8 (which is a time I don't remember a lot of things), but based on some quick research, this should be a reasonable 120 point version of the Captain (which would put him near the end of the series as a powerful and seasoned character). He's not particularly powerful in the damage department, and his attributes are fairly low for a 120 point character, but he's pretty beefy and can take some hits. He's also got a HUGE variety of skills that are mostly split between Charrismatic Lord and Drunkarrd. He's not very smart, but he knows his way around a ship and can be resourceful when he needs to.
