Expansions upon Hackerman Pirate (thanks to Cosmic Tuna chat for spurring this on):

Species is probably gonna be athonae (art by wheat), and their whole shtick is that the code they code has some anomalous properties. They’re the “founder” of some online piracy/torrenting site and the corresponding forums, and their “crew” is the moderation team behind it. The relationship between hackerman and the rest of the team is strained at best, as can be expected since the forums are located in the more unsavory parts of the Internet.
When Hackerman was coding a “pirate network” he mayyyy or may not have accidentally triggered some pirate-related events to happen (see: hacking of the poseidon, along with other things) and caused a bit of a pirate rebirth (pirate-essaince). Now all of the topics on hackerman’s forums are all about swashbuckling and looting and yarr harr and he has ZERO idea what’s going on.
Later on, when he becomes less oblivious to his anomalous coding ability, and when stress over the pirate forums going to shit comes to a head, the hackerman realizes the real pirates he inadvertently brought together treat him better than his “crew”, the moderation team. So he learns the True Meaning of Friendship™ and “joins” the real pirate crew.
Now hackerman, fully aware of the magical properties his code ha, specializes in IRL hacking with the rest of the pirate legendaries. This leads to such shenanigans as plugging a USB into a wall and “hacking” or the classic move of typing on two keyboards at once (actually possible with his species).
Of course if this seems OP he has a pretty terrible work ethic - putting things off and starting things and then getting distracted are just some prime examples of things he’s known for but he (mostly) gets the job done in the end. He’s not really in it for the money either... such cash cash cash is great but he just mostly wants to see the copyright empire crumble like a cookie. As a result he’s been held as a legendary figure by the gignes and subsequently meme’d to death.
He is also very very susceptible to seasickness.
