Hey, if Batman needs a new origin with his reboot, I propose that Alex ze Pirate could use a new origin with the reboot.
For instance, Alex could be an orphaned girl whose parents were murdered by pirates at an early age and she was taken in by said crew, but instead caught the captain's eye as said pirate captain had always fancied a family and he could live said dream through a surrogate daughter like Alex. He raises her in his own unique pirate-y manner, turning her into a swashbuckling scoundrel and his very own protege that soon earns the favor of him and the crew in taking over once he decides to take his booty and retire to some island somewhere. Her unique upbringing as a child of pirates raised in a cruel and unforgiving world has adjusted her to the feel of the ships on the high seas, viewing rogues and scoundrels, people normally repulsive to the normal man, as her own family, and has instilled in her a great distrust of the justice system that goes around killing or arresting her "family."
Peggy can be the loyalest follower and closest friend of Alex's surrogate father and later Alex herself. A grizzled man whose business fell through and whose life was nothing but hardship and disappointment, he eventually turned to drink, to gambling, and soon found himself roped in with piracy. While he was never the greatest fighter, the sharpest marksman, or even the fastest at swabbing the poop deck, his tenacity and unwavering loyalty earned him a place at the captain's side, and when Alex eventually took charge of the ship, his loyalty to her was similarly unflinching. With one finally thing left to live, fight, and die for, he will defend his ship and Alex to the very last, to protect the one thing in life that actually had meaning to him.
Atea can be a bounty hunter, a girl raised in a strict police family, and one of the very people that Alex despised. A marksman after Alex's bounty, a failed attempt on her life finds Atea stuck in Alex's ship on the high seas, where she bargains with fabled treasure and the possibility of riches and loot beyond anyone's dreams to avoid being cast into the sea. The conflicting ideologies and upbringings put both on edge, and from their tense relationship based on a lie would soon blossom an unwavering friendship as Atea proves her skill and her bravery in defending not only herself, but those that she's associated with - even if said people threatened to feed her to the sharks when they first met.
Sam is the newbie. A wistful young boy who was brought in by the tantalizing tales of "adventure on the high seas" and "riches beyond any landlubber's dreams" and stowed away on Alex's ship, much to her chagrin as Alex only discovered him as he was through the third barrel of rations. Demoted to the lowest possible rank you can give to a member on the pirate's crew besides "target practice" and "getting thrown overboard," his ambition and his spirit eventually earns him Alex's respect as he aspires to live up to the dreams of being a pirate that compelled him to join on his adventure, even if it turns out most of it was a bunch of horseshit.
Talus is a beaver on some island somewhere that never joins the crew because beavers aren't fucking part of a pirate crew.
Together, the four travel the high seas in search of treasure and adventure, constantly on the run from the Imperial Navy led by Atea's own father and a cadre of rival pirates set to dethrone Alex and plunder her of the riches that she owned. Oh, and there might be some romantic shit somewhere, I dunno. They can put that in somewhere in post. Maybe make Atea a lesbian or something and call one of her signature moves Lesbian Kick... wait no that would be retarded.
