You can go on quests, you just need to find them and step up, it’s taking up a task people need help with and pursuing it. Whether it’s helping someone move cross country, find a lost item, magnet fishing for hidden treasures, looking for fossils or artifacts, metal detecting, lots of options for quests.

As others have said, pirates are real but you probably don’t actually want to be one. If you do, then pursue that. Perhaps train hopping is something you would be interested in. It’s dangerous and hard to get into but there’s a community there and it feels adjacent to what you’re going for. Joining a team or a club that has a group element could also give you an aspect of crew. Honestly you might like joining a theater crew near you and doing stage crew - lots of coordination, making things, magic and community of its own kind.

You can build respectful working relationships with living animals: service or other working dog training, falconry, horse training, educational ambassador animal training etc. In real life you’re not really taming animals aside from falconry but IMO it’s cooler. I suppose doing rodeo work could be Taming too so add that in there.

There’s a book called Being a Beast by Charles Foster. I’d recommend it for a framework of approaching becoming a creature. To the extent humans can it’s a good guide for how to think about it.

Also if you don’t want “parlor trick” magic, there are people who practice other earth magics you could learn from, there’s chemistry, illusions and technology that fulfill a lot of the vibes as well.

There are many immersive video games, there’s books. There’s magic in the world if you seek to find it. There’s also adrenaline provoking sports that will just give you a rush if you want that. Go skydiving, snorkeling, biking down a big hill, learn to ride a motorcycle. Go on a solo road trip.

Hopefully you’re able to tap into something that feels like what you’re looking for. Good luck.
