Ever play Tomadachi life for the Nintendo DS? If not, it's a thing where you make Miis with personalities on an island like Animal Crossing! It's a shame seeing the pirate generator being put to the side without acknowledging all the unique pirates it makes. What if Sea of Thieves expanded upon your pirate's persona using Tomadachi Life as a template?
Pirate Gender Identity: Pick from Male, Female, or Non binary. Will effect the way NPCs and people interact with you. Example:
"I wouldn't mess with him on a plunder spree!"
"I wouldn't mess with her on a plunder spree!"
"I wouldn't mess with them on a plunder spree!"
Pirate Nickname: Cosmetic, Useful for Twitch Streamers, and other Gamers who don't want their gamertag exposed. Your Pirate's name could be whatever you want it to be! Example: GT: Nyanbonecrush. In game name display: Yumi Lancer
Personality Sliders and Personality: Like in tomadachi life, you can choose traits from a scale that either match your character's persona, or not. Put it all together, you got your class of personality, and subclass! Can be altered at anytime, or randomized for no charge. Example:
Quirky (---l--------------)Not Quirky
Polite (--------------l---) Direct
Serious(------l-----------) Relaxed
Flat (---------------l--) Expressive
Results:
Personality: Outgoing
Sub Class: Leader
Voice Options: Choose from a bunch of pre-recorded voices that will speak whenever possible. Sound British, like a cowboy, cute and soft, like a grizzly lumberjack in a women's body. Male and female voices for each option, You can toggle this, as well as the option to hear other's voices in the options. Can occasionally have conversations with allies and enemies. Toggle-able in options.
Flavor Dialogue: Whenever doing a task and depending on your personality type, your pirate may say something. Example: Rigging a sail "A rigging i will go, a rigging I will go...." Hit with a cannon "AAAAAAAAA lucky shot!" Sails while in combat: "C'mon. turn, turn, turn!" while sailing idling: "Ever hear the tragedy of Pirate Plague em's the wry?" Joke: "Why couldn't the little pirate see a play? It was rated ARR!!!" Joke Response: "that's it. I'm locking him in the brig. "
Pirate Logbook update: Let's face it. We hate seeing the book blank when the ship sinks. Aside from fixing this, I also suggest adding in personal details of your pirate-sona in the logs. Like it will say Nyanbonecrush Aka: Yumi Lancer, Outgoing Leader, Has Napoleon Complex.
Weakness/ Flaw: No one's perfect. You may see overtime a flaw on your pirate based off of time and experiences developed. Or randomly generated. Example: Yumi's weakness: Napoleon Complex/shortness.
While small, these additions will make a pirate feel more like a character you cherish than an empty shell with cosmetics. What do you think!? :D
