Obedience: Spend an hour drinking, looting, stealing, pillaging, and causing strife. During this time, never admit to or allow yourself to show any
vulnerability or fallibility, and project nothing less than an aura of invincibility while doing these things. Once the hour is up, offer up fully half of what
you gained to Whitecoat by tossing it into a sufficiently deep body of saltwater.
Effect: Once in the next 24 hours, you may, as an immediate action, cancel a critical hit confirmed against yourself or an ally within 30ft and return it to
a normal successful hit. Any seafaring ship/vehicle capable of holding at least 10+ people you are on gains Fast Healing 2 while you are onboard it. Your touch is capable of turning water into medium quality alcohol, though this only works on small bodies of water like mugs or glasses. Anything bigger than a keg simply fails to convert.

Tenets of Faith
He who falls behind shall be left behind. Feel neither pity nor respect for the dead, and gladly liberate them of their possessions.
Take what you can, and give nothing back for it.
Never ascribe yourself to another's law without being promised something in return. If those you follow prove themselves unworthy of the title, relieve them of their position.
All crew shall see their fair share of treasure.
Never kill a surrendered foe so long as they have something to take. Lives taken are worthless; wealth taken isn't.
Take advantage of all means and methods in your pursuit of glory, greatness, and wealth.
I, Whitecoat, shall always gain one share of all treasure gained upon the high seas. Never spare me my share of treasure.

A God of Many Faces
Whitecoat is wholly unique amongst other deific figures in that his followers have no semblance of unity in how they envision their god's appearance. To each of his followers, Whitecoat simply appears as what that individual believes to be their "Ideal Pirate"...so for some, that might be a dashing, beautiful female captain...and to others, a grizzled, leather-skinned male who shows signs of an eternity on the briny seas. Their appearance is infinitely varied, just like their followers, and is one of the many aspects that makes Whitecoat so unique...they are both God and Goddess at the same time, and yet more than either.
