We need another female storyline

[CatalinaThePirate]

Maybe you could make a storyline based on your namesake. Also, maybe we should make the devlin storyline more like aop and have a quest where you must capture a town from each nationality.

I know I was working on a Catalina skin based on my namesake, Catalina de Erauso ("The Lieutenant Nun", who is a Spanish and Basque real-life folk hero), and it would make an interesting storyline, however I'd have to fictionalize a lot of it to make the story substantial enough for a full game storyline.

Here is a pic of a painting of her:

And a romanticized more modern version:

Back when I was more involved here we couldn't add new models, so we had to do with what we had - so I tried this:

AND I have no idea what's happened since I have been away as I have not really been able to mess around in the Build much. But there ya go. I am guessing we have a lot more ability now to put a new model into the game. Catalina has a very interesting real life story - pretty wild, in fact (not sure you would term her an actual pirate as she was more of a Spanish Army soldier and eventual trader), but I'm not so sure it would lend itself well to the game unless you were to encounter her as a potential officer - take her on as part of a quest something like what I did with the Fred Bob quest.

I was actually in contact with a direct relation of hers, a great great ---- grand niece, IIRC... We never really got our conversation off the ground as I have very little Spanish and she the same with English... :urgh

Here's a picture from the Devlin storyline:

The lady in armor in the left corner of the screen is Catalina the Pirate.
She uses a new Catalina skin made by Daede many years ago, based on the Danielle model.
Bartolomeu o Portugues used that skin for Roxanne Laliere in his storyline as well.

Just for fun, here's another picture of the Modders at Turks (old picture, now uses some more custom skins):

It's got (from left to right): Sir Christopher Mings, Nathan Kell, Merciless Mark, Petros, me and Thomas the Terror.

And here's another bunch at Nevis (former Quebradas Costillas):

It's got (from left to right): Bartholomew Roberts, Skull, High Sea Lass, Commodore John Paul Jones and Sir Christopher Mings (he follows you around)

Mings is shuch a stalker.



I think we should make the beatrice storyline like the AOP though. We should still keep Bonnie though. Here is how I think it should go. First off, we should change the starting port from Port Royale to Bridgetowne and the starting year from 1540 to 1640 (because pirates were active mostly at this point in history. I know that the reason your made 1540 the year is because you have no early explorers storyline, but with my El Patron storyline, you won't need this to be the year for this story). I also think we should change Devlin to Sharpe like in the game

Go to Uncle Emanuel Sharpe's house and he tells you of your sister and you go outside and meet her.

Return to Emanuel and tell him you are going away for a while to find Pieter Bolean (no not you Pieter)

Those pix are great! And the storyline sounds like a lot of fun. I sure have a lot of catching up to do. :mm :nk

I wonder where Mings is these days... He and I and Mad Jack made the Pirate Cemetery with the limerick headstones.

The idea with the Devlin storyline we've got was that you can choose which PA! member you want to help you find the treasure and based on the choice, you'll have a different game until you find the treasure. That is as far as the original idea went.
