With regards to the issue of pirates/outcasts/tags, a sentiment was discussed in this thread that I disagree with- that "I want my reputation to speak for itself and not have people just know I'm a pirate/outcast because of some tag." Again, if you go to the design directive of how these roles are meant to be played by the people who make that decision for this server, your reputation does speak to itself, to such a large extent that the whole island has heard of you in at least descriptive enough terms to visually identify you as someone to stay away from or be prepared to fight.
Everyone has a reason why tags shouldn't apply to them, and plenty of people even have good reasons. But that's exactly why its spelled out for you beforehand that those reasons don't apply - if you can make them apply post-creation through virtue of rebuilding your reputation, then good for you, but you start out disliked, not friendly or even neutral. That's part of the challenge you're agreeing to. If all it took to bypass the design restrictions for things on this server was a good RP reason, then every character on the server would have wings/tails/horns, etc.
Wonder what would happen if folks start to make pirates that dont join Sencliff and dont get the tats.
Plenty of other pirates around on Toril besides our beloved Sencliffians
