What are the best class/archetype + feat options for son of lost pirate?
I am going to prepare character based on history/role playing idea.
His father was pirate, who kept coming from his adventures when he found out, that he has a son with a whore. He was telling him all about his adventures and how they will buy their own ship. He was giving him pirate themed presents – such as parrot, pistol, compass and so on.
One day his father told him, that he was going to collect his treasure on secret island so their dreams would come true. Nobody has heard about him after...
So that son of lost pirate still dreams about the treasure, having his own ship and being a pirate. He desire it so much, that he acts like he was a pirate. He is boasting about his adventures (which in fact were his father's), telling about his plans, wearing pirates clothing and stuff and behaving like a personification of a pirate from common perspective.
I would really appreciate advice on which class/archetype and feats will help this character to work in game/rules perspective, so he will also be a valid member of a group.
EDIT: I forgot to mention, that all Paizo stuff is allowed. No 3rd party publications.
Hm. So basically it's Pippi Longstocking? The Sea Singer Bard seems a good fit. You even get the parrot (though Pippi really should have a monkey instead).
You can make a pirate out of most classes. I say pick the role you want/that fits the group, then look for a class that can do that and you enjoy mechanically. You've already got the backstory set.
To be more concrete, I always like the idea of a magus as a pirate. Not sure why. The Eldritch Scion archetype can work for a more sorcerous flare.
I would rather have guns. Swashbuckler / Picaroon is not so good with them. Are there any other swashbuckling archetypes with guns?
