A Code of Conduct for a Smuggler Ship

This is a world-building piece I'm using in my own fan fic.  Our smugglers, pirates, rogues, and other non-aligned/independent ships do have rules and codes of conduct.  They wouldn't live by Imperial/Republic/Federation/Klingon/Fleet rules.  Whether in space or on the sea, they still have to co-exist with their crewmates and captain.  This is mostly compiled from historical pirate codes, Gibbs from NCIS (it works), and other real-life incidents.

This is crossposted to AO3. 

Code of Conduct for Virtue’s Thief, under the command of

Captain Eva Corolastor

1.       The Captain’s responsibility is to the ship.  The ship is the crew, and the crew is the ship.  The Captain is to save the ship at any cost, including her own.

2.      The Captain is the first and final authority on Virtue’s Thief.

3.      Never screw over your Captain or your crewmates.

4.      All profit is disbursed evenly after the ship receives its share for maintenance. Private gambling, inheritance, and profits do not apply here.

5.      If someone is permanently injured, maimed or disabled in the service of Virtue’s Thief or her captain, they are to be pensioned off for the duration of their lives.

6.      The crew is entitled to a discount for services at the Captain’s discretion.

7.      Police your brass and cover your ass.  

8.      Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean you’re wrong.

9.      Always announce your entrance into the cockpit or the Captain’s quarters; she is armed.

10.  Always carry a knife.

11.  Never drink the last of anything.

12.  No pets.

13.  No children.

14.  Nobody talks about VATs [Very Awful Thing(s)].

15.  Blood stays in the cargo bay; do not track it around the ship.  Remove your boots as needed.

16.  No fighting on the ship; settle your differences planetside.

17.  No sleeping naked.

18.  No shagging in the ship (exceptions to be granted by the Captain).

19.  All crew members will carry spare clean underwear in a waterproof bag at all times.

20.  Birthdays are to be celebrated.  Get over it.

 1.  This rule is included since my captain is a Good Gal.  She's a Chaotic Neutral Leaning Good.  If your Captain is not so inclined, you may wish to alter this to better suit how your Captain sees his or her crew and ship:  are the crewmen and crew-women expendable?  Is the ship itself a tool to be used and broken, or is it the Captain's beloved home?

2.  Many pirate codes have votes and other democratic devices so each man had their say, especially if their Captain sees them as tools or as useful rather than friends and family.   Because my captain is GG in Rule #1, Rule #2 is not democratic, but rather, an assertion of authority because of GG status; your Captain has to be a leader, not a doormat.  If your Captain is more ruthless, then you may want to counter-balance with a rule that gives the crew some veto power.

 3.  This is self-explanatory.   Ships have limited quarters, and it's in everyone's best interest not to hate each other.  Gibbs' Rule.

 4.  This is a pragmatic rule, as the ship does have to be maintained as the home for everyone, even if she is own by the Captain.  This could also go toward the upkeep of ship's droids, if you're operating in the Star Wars universe.  This is based in actual rules from historical pirate codes.

 5.  Another historical pirate code rule.  This one is very generous (Good Gal Captain).  Often, there would be a limit set or a delineation of what body parts are worth how much -- arms, eyes, and legs all have different value, and how much of you lost also matters.  In the modern world, we have this when claiming disability benefits, particularly for veterans.  This is an opportunity for you to discuss how your characters are valued by the Captain/ship.

 6.  Depending on how you set up your ship and crew rules and who decides what jobs to take, this rule can be very relevant or not relevant.  I use it as an opportunity to prove Captain's benevolence, but this can be used to build tension -- is this job worth it?  Are you actually going to pay us for this gig?

 7.   Gibbs' Rule(s), but highly pertinent.  Most non-aligned ships are non-aligned for a reason -- shady activities? troubled past?  "Police your brass" is a term for cleaning up one's spent casings so that you don't leave a trace or evidence you were there.  Covering your ass is a catch-all for making sure there are no loose ends.  This is the "don't bring trouble home" rule -- don't bring unwanted attention to the ship. 

 8. Gibbs' Rule.  Even if you follow #7 to the hilt, this is still possible -- stay alert. 

 9.  The Captain often has the most to lose.  This is typically their ship, and all troubles land on their desk.  They're the ones trying to lead people of questionable character -- there's a reason they're out on their own.  Depending on what the job is, they may be carrying strangers on their ship or there may be concerns of a boarding party.  This can be used to depict Captain's trust, but also Captain competence -- do you want someone who trusts everyone responsible for your safety?

10.  Gibbs' Rule, but interesting to utilize in space settings.  In modern/historical settings and military settings, you always carry a personal sidearm or two as a hold-out; knife and a single-shot pistol (especially 3-D printed) are useful.  In space, there's all this fancy tech, like blasters, lasers, phasers, vibroknives, and so on. A knife can cut air supply hoses, slice electronics, puncture life support suits, and all sorts of chaotic things that a "highly evolved society" wouldn't think of.

11.  My own creation -- I have a hard-drinking crew, and if you want to break Rule #3 in the worst way possible, this is it.  One thing I have headcanonned is that there were originally just 10 rules on the Thief.  The second 10 come as a result of people breaking the first 10 -- more specific rules for more idiotic behavior that the writer didn't anticipate.  In the words of my captain, "Can I preface that by saying the rules exist for reasons?  As in, someone screwed up, and after we all didn’t die, I made the rule?”

12.  and 13.  These are flexible, but you have to consider what type of operation your ship is running.  Is it derring-do and swashbuckling and a business venture?  Or is something else more akin to a family group?  Within the SWTOR universe, I've seen people keep their ships very businesslike, but the same crews in another fan fic are raising kids and have pets.  Totally fine.

14.   VATs are a sideline business that my Captain operates alongside her two female crewmates; the boys find what they do so distasteful, they try to ignore it as best they can.  In my universe, VATs are wetwork, assassinations, torture, extortion, espionage, information-brokering, and other morally questionable items that don't fall under the main purview of business on the ship.  Does your ship have anyone with a sideline?  It doesn't have to be as violent or dark as this.  Is it officially recognized?  To what extent?  Is it a secret?  Is there a rule against doing this sort of thing? 

15.  Generally cleanliness reminder, but if you have this sort of a rule, you better show off why it's necessary.

16.  Historical pirate rule -- if you have beef, go settle on the shore.  Some codes get the quartermaster directly involved in fairly outfitting both parties and determining whether the matter is settled or if someone should get left behind at port for the good of the ship.

17.  This is for red alerts and making sure nobody wastes too much time trying to throw clothes on while trying to deal with a disaster.  It also ties into #18.

18.  Historically, pirates were not supposed to bring wenches on the ship.  First, there was a risk of someone being accidentally kidnapped if the ship left before critical personnel woke up after a night on the tiles.  Secondly, rape was a serious crime to pirates; the penalty was death.  I've seen in multiple pirate codes that boys and ladies were not to be brought aboard.  Some do allow for a guardian for these people so that they can remain on board until the next port, but those were special conditions in special circumstances.  Since I have a smuggler ship, it's egalitarian -- no sexy times for anyone onboard the ship.  Also, if you're busy getting busy, if there's an attack, well, it takes more time to untangle yourself than if you're by yourself. 

19a.   This is a personal rule (IRL and in fan fic).  As I've been writing, I find that people's clothes getting trashed or messed up is a pretty regular thing.  However, it's made exponentially more tolerable by having a spare set of something dry.  If you plan on having characters get messy and want to move the plot along without dealing with the "uh oh, naked" thing (especially if there's a romantic/sexual tension), this isn't a bad rule to have around.  Granted, if you're writing PWP, make sure nobody has any spare anything.  Also, spare clean undies aren't just useful for the obvious; think of bandages, messages that could be sent while everyone else is "hurr durr"ing over panties, underwires that can be used for other purposes.  Basically, this is where you can put in your MacGuyver plot device -- make people carry some seemingly useless item around and then it's the Most Critical Thing to making some ad hoc plan work.  

b.  Caveat:  Chekhov's Gun.  This the literary principle that you shouldn't put anything into your story unless it adds to the bigger plot: don't put a gun on stage unless it's going to fire.  So you can have a lot of funny business with your #19 (or any of these rules) but don't spend too much time on them.  Some of it might remain headcanon forever, which is fine. Remember that codes/rules are meant to help your ship function, not to bog it down unnecessarily. 

20.  Personal rule. See 19b. Feel free to use these rules or variants thereof; just give me a mention @sullustangin or via AO3 (top of the page).

Could you make a post with tips for writing paul or john?? like common mistakes you see in fics or something like that, you write them so well I thought it could be helpful.. ..

omg thank you so much!! this is kind of difficult to answer since i don’t follow a specific formula when i write them, and there really is no right or wrong way, but here are a few things i try to keep in mind:

syntax - this is probably the most important imo. i feel like having a firm grasp on their individual voices and how they form sentences (as well as little language quirks they might have, such as paul’s overuse of “y’know”) can make up for situations that might ordinarily be ooc. writing soft, romantic scenes between them, for instance, can be difficult because we’ve never actually seen that between them; we’re just writing about how we think they’d treat each other in private. so even if we don’t know what they’d actually do, if they sound right, it can make the scene believable. if i haven’t written them in a while, or if i get stuck with the feeling that they just don’t sound right anymore, i usually spend a few minutes watching interviews so i can really get their voices in my head. it makes a big difference! 

personality - i know this seems completely obvious, but it’s something that seems to be overlooked pretty frequently in beginner fics. i feel like it might be because we’re not dealing with fictional characters here; john and paul’s personalities can’t really be boiled down to one simplistic character trait. john isn’t the big angry meanie who just acts that way for the sake of doing so, and paul isn’t a delicate pansy who cries at the drop of a hat. and this just comes down to knowing them as best you can, and putting thought into why they behave the way they do. john’s anger and aggressiveness are oftentimes masking a deeper emotion, one that makes him feel vulnerable, so he’s overcompensating. there are a lot of firsthand accounts of how kind and sweet he is, so for him to just be an asshole in a fic for no apparent reason is something that can really turn me off of the fic as a whole. a lot of this is subjective and there’s no “right” way to do it, and i don’t mean to suggest that my way is the best way because it’s certainly not, but i tend to make him lash out more and be hurtful to those around him when he’s hurt himself. if he’s being mean in one of my fics, it’s an indication that he’s been hurt. and rather than talking through it or allowing himself to be openly upset, it’s easier for him to put on his tough mask. if you hurt him, then he’s going to make sure he hurts you more, that way he can feel like he still came out on top. the more he lashes out, the more he’s hurting. that doesn’t mean he won’t make a cruel joke here and there, even when he’s not hurting, but the intent changes; he’s trying to be funny, even if people don’t take it well. it’s not as easy to discuss paul, because i’m not entirely sure why people write him as weepy and delicate..? because he has nice eyelashes..? i mean, come on. a lot of the time it feels like john is written as stereotypical ultra masculine, so people automatically want to write paul as the opposite, in order to make him “the girl.” and like… don’t do that lol. paul has stated himself that he could be as vicious as john, and just a single viewing of the let it be film makes the strong, controlling aspects of his personality really obvious. he may have some flamboyant body language, and there’s nothing wrong with discussing that or describing it in your fic, but it’s also important not to reduce him to that. he can be tough, controlling, manipulative; he can make cruel jokes; he’s diplomatic and tries to keep the peace. to me (and again, this is just my interpretation), it seems like he has a very firm handle on his emotions. while john lashes out when he’s hurt, paul seems to close himself off, which can make him come across as almost cold. john has made him cry irl, yes, and there’s nothing wrong with making him (or john, or anyone) cry, but an average disagreement in the studio isn’t going to make paul burst into tears bc john didn’t like his lyrics or something. it’s just about finding that balance. what’s paul’s breaking point? what’s john’s? these are things that are helpful to have in mind before you start writing an emotional exchange. 

their friendship - again, this seems obvious, but hear me out. aside from aus and 1957 fics, john and paul were extremely close. even pre-fame, back in liverpool, they quickly formed an exclusive friendship and developed this innate, personal understanding of each other. even if there’s some dispute about how far their relationship went, everyone from music historians to their personal friends to casual fans can agree that there was something special and powerful about their friendship. so, with that in mind, minor disagreements or an offhand comment don’t really seem like things that can form a major rift between them. miscommunication is definitely like, the #1 conflict in a lot of fics, and that’s totally fine, but at the end of the day, john and paul understand each other. if john lashes out, paul knows he’s hurting. this isn’t a secret to him. it’s something he’s picked up on and he knows john’s anger is a mask. similarly, john is familiar with paul’s emotional responses; if he actually pushed him far enough to make him cry, i think he’d be fully aware that he crossed a line and that he needs to make up for it, rather than just letting it blow over. so, for me, no matter what else is going on in the fic (whether they’re transitioning to a romantic relationship, or something else) they’ll still have this intimate knowledge of each other. that’s not going to suddenly disappear. it seems unlikely that john will lash out and for paul to think “omg why would he say that to me?? he must hate me.” the actual words john uses might hurt, and paul might be upset that john chose to go after one of his vulnerabilities, but he’d know exactly why. paul writing ‘dear friend’ in response to ‘how do you sleep’ is a great example of this. john said horrible things, things he never should have said, and paul was understandably hurt by those things, but ultimately he understood where those words came from. it was deeper than that. john was hurting, and paul chose to reach out in a soothing, peaceful way, rather than hurting him more. he knew that wouldn’t do any good, because he knows john. john doesn’t want to be vulnerable, so paul made himself vulnerable instead. (paul loves him so much??? fml) i don’t know if i’m explaining this well or not, but imo it would take a lot for their disagreements and arguments to become catastrophic simply because they understand each other so well. john calling paul’s hair ugly isn’t going to ruin their relationship and set off a melodramatic chain of events lol. 

that’s all i can think of for now? i feel like most “mistakes” boil down to these three things. 

and again, this is just my approach to writing them. other people will have other opinions, and that’s fine! this is just what works for me. i really hope you find helpful!!
