So apparently I never posted him, but here's my Pitty npc because I think my pirate would be far more attached to her Bear Family in Grizzleheim than her birth parents :) (His name is Dain Ironside)

This is just Pirate101, the game that made child me gay and introduced me to sword lesbians

so apparently in 815 CE there was a common belief that sky pirates sailed ships in the clouds and (working in collaberation with frankish weather wizards) stole all the crops that got damaged in storms and took them back to the cloud realm of magonia.

And this was apparently a common enough belief that an archbishop felt the need to write a treatise to debunk it and insist that only god controls the weather, which is the only reason we know about it.

there are three important points to take from this, i think

This is great inspiration for your next dnd game

Tropes that might seem relatively modern (like airship pirates) can often actually go WAY back

The stuff your average medieval christian actually believed in will often have very little resemblance to christianity. And thats before you even get to the proper heretics. EDIT: people keep asking for the source and its now been added multiple times in different reblog chains. I should have put it in the original post but i am a fool: https://sourcebooks.fordham.edu/source/Agobard-OnHailandThunder.asp

Oh I love Sarah! Here have her pirate101 rogues gallery video thingy https://youtu.be/aQAftPtIYyQ?si=lD6kQAPnXSfC2qPh it's the best way to learn about her I think!

Do your pirate101 ocs have their personal favorite crew mates, ones that they would make a permanent first mate?

ooooo that’s a fun thing to consider!

Esmee’s would be Sarah Steele. I headcanon that they’ve knew each other before since Esmee grew up in Skull Island, and of course they’re both swashes.

Remmy would be Bonnie. Excuse me while I go off on a bit of a tangent and retcon his backstory that I wrote out not even two posts ago, but he was born in Albion and has always been sympathetic towards the foxes and their goal for liberation from Marleybone. After the incident with the storm and his parents’ death, he ended up in Skull Island and found himself among the scurvy dogs. Ao my headcanon is that eventually he met Bonnie while she was doing some odd jobs for Avery and was excited to finally meet someone from Albion again. They became friends and he would even tag along with her at times to sharpen his musketeer skills.

Brynn’s would be Lucky Jack. Don’t have much to say I just personally really love him as a companion.

Flint’s would be Ratbeard, since they share a love for fighting and blowing shit up.

Maeve’s would be Scratch. Basic witchdoctor answer I know.

Ryan-Posting again! ♡

Otherwise Titled: a stressed Orphan and her protective Guardians.

Ryan gets her Found Family .2 seconds after entering the Armada Ship. Subodai watches her back from the start, and his take is basically: That's a child. She's capable, yeah, and a great leader, but she's a child. I'm protecting her with my life. He effectively becomes her Dad. (As well as her First-Mate)

And then, of course, there's Dead Mike. He's like her uncle. He was the one person who didn't ever abandon her or her parents (willingly) and he swore his afterlife to avenge her family, and now to care for her. He's a big softy, and the moment he realized Ryan was still alive, he swore to be there for her till his second death.

And, as it goes, I also love the concept that Ryan is generally pretty harmless-looking when she first starts her adventures. No name for herself, she doesn't speak, and her actions are sneaky so people rarely know it was her who hit them. Until she becomes more infamous, Dead Mike and Subodai act as her big scary goons. They hit hard and w/o hesitation if Ryan orders it.

(Also picturing Ryan ready to tear someone to pieces, but she's already low on health, and Ratbeard or Steele holding Ryan back with Subodai and Mike roll up their sleeves and go demolish the enemy. And/or Armada coming by in a town, and Ryan ducking behind Subodai and clinging to his hand (hoof?) As she uses him as a wall between her fear and herself.)

*Poke* Pirate101 Ask Meme returned: 1, 2, 6, 9, 22 and 24

1. Favorite crew member/companion?

Ooh this is a hard one. I'd say story-wise, as in their promo quests, it's probably either Bonnie Anne or Sarah Steele. Personality-wise, I love Ratbeard as the pirate's grumpy old chaotic neutral uncle-figure. Battle/skills-wise, it's the Haywire Armada units - the Musketeer and the Battle Angel, most specifically.

2. Favorite world?

Honestly, I actually found Cool Ranch kind of fun. Of course the portrayal of the bison/ Natives could have been done far better, but aside from them, I really liked the parodies of all the Wild West like the Magnificent Seven, the Lone Ranger, etc. Also really nice music.

I just wish my Musketeer didn't have to dress like a Confederate soldier lmao.

6. Who is your LEAST favorite crew member/companion and why?

Personality-wise, Wing Chun; he's so harsh and insulting. I've just gotten to a point in his promo quests and stuff where he comes across as less harsh, like he's grown more respect for the pirate, but still. Don't like him.

Powers/battle-wise, I'm gonna say Old Scratch. He fizzles so much, he's just plain unreliable. (Honestly... most of the Witchdoctor companions fizzle a lot.) Love his promo quest stories though.

9. Any headcanons for your crew?

Most of the first few - Wing Chun, Bonnie Anne, and Louis Le Crab, or equivalents among other crews - started out joining as in "holy Spiral someone's gotta be responsible for this small child!" only to then see the Young Pirate in battle and go "oh nvm, they're competent... and terrifying!" About by the time Ratbeard joins there's a lot less underestimating the Pirate, because clearly they're doing something right if they got these companions.

My personal headcanon for Noble James Hawkins' crew in particular is that he has a habit of collecting broken pieces of Armada enemies after fights. This is how he built/repaired the Musketeer, Marine, and Battle Angel on his crew.

And yes, at some point we do remove the Crown of Command from Monkey King, but he finds the crew and our wacky adventures too entertaining to leave immediately.

22. Do you trust Captain Avery?

I wouldn't say that I trust him, but I do respect him. He clearly appreciates the young Pirate to some extent (like the quest where he's captured by Thresher sharks and he's like "I knew you were coming! What took you so long? Now let's show these sharks how big a mistake they made!") He'd probably stab us in the back if it benefitted him, but I mean. The man's a pirate. That's kinda a given.

24. Would you make any improvements to the story? (Fill any plot holes?)

Honestly I'd try and straighten out the timeline a little, especially as does it match up to Wiz or take place after??? Because in Xol Akmul, the Aztecasaur city above Blood Shoals, we're led to believe that Morganthe already destroyed Azteca... and then in Cool Ranch we meet Desmond Argleston, Wizard City Librarian, looking a little older than he does in W101... but then we get to MooShu and it seems like we are actually concurrent with the Wizard because the Emperor is weakened from Malistaire's attack, leaving chaos to run wild.

Has the Wizard not actually fixed everything in MooShu? Has it just taken forever for news of the Emperor's recovery to reach all across the world? Or is this another case of the whole "time passes so weirdly in different worlds across the Spiral" so Azteca is already destroyed long before the Azure Shining One ever steps foot there, and is still sprinting around MooShu chasing Malistaire? Not to mention we get Valencian horses in Novus in Wiz, sort of implying the disastrous Armada days are behind them...
