Definitely. I think that it would be a great little addition to have basically a profile of our pirates where we could, if we wanted, include a back story. I know that I'm not the only one who has one already written up in my head.
I just think that it would be a great way to personalize the game for us players a little more beyond choosing clothing and mundane things such as that. Again, use the little '?' in the options panel and suggest away!
