Fantasy Pirate Roleplay ~ To Befall a King [Closed]

What is a boatswain,sea artist and striker?

Boatswain originally, on board a sailing ship such as a man-of-war or a galleon, the boatswain was in charge of a ship's anchors, cordage, colors, deck crew and the ship's boats, and would also be in charge of the rigging while the ship was in dock.

The sea artist was expert at reading and correcting charts, using navigational tools such as the cross-staff, backstaff, quadrant, and sextant (depending on time period). They were also expert at use dead reckoning methods for determining longitude. Some were also capable of determining longitude using lunar observations (taking lunars). The sea artist was also an expert at reading the ocean, able to tell shallows and hidden reefs from deep waters and able to determine if storms were coming.

Strikers were expert hunters who trapped sea turtles and manatees; fished for sharks and other large fish; and also hunted wild game when the the crew came ashore. Their knowledge of local plants aided in collecting edible fruits and vegitables as well as medicinal plants and herbs.Their expert ability at hunting and fishing earned them a spot among the crew.
 
Could I have Sea Artist??:D
 
So the only thing left is a boatswain. Or can I pick another role?
Im asking since I want to be a cook but didn't see that on the roles
 
AaAh- No more roles ,_,
Is there any possible way I could throw somebody in as something like a scout or look-out role? (somebody to stick up in the crow's nest??) Or would that clutter up the roleplay too much..? ^^"
I just love pirates hhgnggg but if y'all are closed down for new entries that's fair.
