The Pirate's Fate (Visual Novel)	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Pirate's Fate is a transformative Visual Novel experience. It is the first game by author T.F. Wright and artist Volkenfox, successful creators of furry transformation literature, and it lies in the same genre in a more ambitious scope.Mila, an anthropomorphic cat and humble spice merchant, awakens on board a ship with no memory of how she got there. She's soon greeted by the captain of the vessel and his small crew, whom she recognizes immediately: The notorious Dread Pirates, who prey on merchant ships! Well, actually, as the courteous but authoritative Captain Darious explains, they're really treasure hunters who happened upon her after her merchant ship sank and rescued her. As it so happens, she has in her possession a piece of the particular treasure they're seeking at this moment, a coin from a particular set with the curious inscription, "Become what you seek". So, will she join the crew? The others certainly won't make it easy on her, with the well-intentioned but cynical Leeko and the suspicious, hostile Morgana, plus a few friends picked up along the way, tracking down treasures, falling in love, and maybe righting a few wrongs. Who knows? Stranger things have happened.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Oh, and there's the fact that the magic of the coins warps your body and mind to match your inmost thoughts and desires. That's bound to complicate matters.It is available on Steam, released on March 27, 2018. View the trailer here! An expansion, titled Prisoner of Destiny, was released on January 4th, 2019 and was updated with more content five days later.A science-fiction Spiritual Successor called State Of Flux is currently in development by Volkenfox, who has taken on the role of both writer and artist. Meanwhile, T.F. Wright worked on and released Wicked Willow, which lacks the Furry aspects but also has themes of well-intentioned choices having far-reaching consequences.

The Pirate's Fate (Visual Novel) / int_21f3aa44	comment	Good Is Not Nice: This practically becomes the motto of the Dread Pirates on multiple paths. Pretty much all of Mila's final forms other than Empathetic are this: Angel Mila is a Holier Than Thou templar who shows no mercy towards evil, Demon Mila is a crafty and underhanded trickster who breaks her word and shows a similar fervor for punishing evildoers, and Juggernaut Mila is a violent warrior who racks up an impressive bodycount. However while while none of them are as pleasant as Empathetic Milla, all three forms are still most certainly on the side of good.

Guns are capable of firing more than once, but resemble earlier single-shot models. Still, most of the era's aesthetic holds together, and there are no electric devices. Outside of Steamchaser's ship, that is.

One is very upset at having their gender identity disrupted, but finds a way to accept it and move on in one of two very different ways. One issues token protests about it, but, in fact, is hinted to not be terribly upset about the change considering their already conflicting self-image.

The Pirate's Fate (Visual Novel) / int_319cc4d7	comment	Low Fantasy: Let's go through the checklist! Setting: A slightly-anachronistic nineteenth century. Magic is very spare and of ambiguous origin, enough so that most people consider it to be a myth. There are multiple species, but they have only normal "human" cultural variance. Scope: Though the ultimate decision changes the fate of the world, we're more concerned with the fate of the Dread Pirates themselves, and most of the antagonists only want the coins for their own petty reasons. We see very little of the world outside of that which is relevant to the plot. Shades of Grey: Boy howdy! Almost nobody is pure good or pure evil, and grappling with morality is a central theme of the story. Methods: Most of the time, confrontations are solved through physical violence, though it may or may not be accompanied with reasoning. Heroes: The Pirates are, essentially, just ordinary people following their leader's personal quixotic quest. They are also pawns in a much larger game, the extent of which is not fully made clear even to us.

The Pirate's Fate (Visual Novel) / int_47e4f5f5	comment	Golden Ending: Officially, there isn't one, and almost all endings are bittersweet at best. However, some are better than others, and the ending in which Morgana intervenes to make herself a princess, ending up with every member of the Dread Pirates alive and in a good place about to start a new adventure could be considered the most upbeat.

The Dread Pirates could have saved Mila's ship from sinking, but they chose not to in order to "encourage" her to join their quest. Bilba puts on an act to fool the Dread Pirates that she's more kind and charitable than her sister. If she regains the throne, she'll reveal herself to be just as corrupt as Nakhta, if not more so. Kate tries to present her boss, Trento, as an unethical jerk who uses the magic of the coins to make his baked goods addictively delicious. However, if Kate takes over the bakery, not only will she continue using the coins in her cooking but she inflate the prices of her goods because she only wants to cater to "high class" customers.

It should be notes that technically it's not that don't exist, but are rather simply dead in the new timeline. Queen Nakhta, however, can have her existence completely erased in a certain path.

The Pirate's Fate (Visual Novel) / int_97d54bb0	comment	Tragic Keepsake: An interesting variation, in that it's never actually brought up, and has to be implied. In certain routes, Morgana's knife becomes this for her. It was given to her by Darious; in the route where you pluck him from time before he met Morgana, the young version of him still has it, and present-day Morgana doesn't. So, by using it, she's remembering him in any route where he dies. It explains why she's so fond of it... Morgana's choker could also be considered a variation of this, as she can reveal that she stole it from a rich girl back when she worked with Rourkie's crew, as a reminder of an aspiration she knew she could never actually achieve.

Despite the former's usual brusqueness with you, she's clearly in high spirits here, being cheerfully flippant and even cracking a joke while accepting something she opposed before.

The truth is revealed through very different means each time. Interestingly, in one version the imposter uses a factual detail (he's from an alternate timeline) to explain away the incongruities. Spotting the Thread: Leeko becomes suspicious at Darious's sudden jocularity despite recent events, and more piratical nature after visiting Luprand's manor, so she decides to try flirting with him; the fact that it succeeds is a Cover Identity Anomaly, given that Leeko was until recently male and Darious would still think of her as such. Then, it's promptly given away by the fact that he calls the group "pirates" when Darious's Insistent Terminology was "treasure hunters", he uses third person, and finally furiously reveals that it's Lazerby possessing Darious.

When Morgana hears Mila suggests that the adventure could be dangerous, she mockingly tells her that it's no picnic and, "Let me bring my lace gloves and hoop skirt!" In the Royal path, she does indeed wind up wearing those. Morgana's training dummy-of-hate for Tam-Tam has a noose around its neck. She winds up dead by hanging in two routes.

They've just been introduced to Queen Nakhta, who wants them to help her use the coins to stop her sister Bilba from seizing power, while Morgana was secretly stealing them while the queen was distracted. All they have to do is head back to the ship and wait for Morgana to return with them, then leave, but instead, they decide to listen to Bilba who shows up and demands that they help her. While on the ship. Leeko points out it's an incredibly bad idea but Mila insists on at least listening...giving Nakhta time to show up looking for thieves, correctly assume they were discussing overthrowing her with Bilba, and have them all thrown in the dungeons. To her credit, Mila does realize that this was a huge mistake, and it fits with her personality. Other versions of her in the same situation just push Bilba overboard (which she deserves) and leave her to be captured by Nakhta, thus leaving the queen no reason to pursue them.

The Pirate's Fate (Visual Novel) / int_dbde0b49	comment	Transformation Trinket: The coins. Also, Nakhta's magic crown, powered by a "Shape What You Were" coin. The matchmakers use a "Become What You Seek" in order to induced slightly controlled transformations on their clients.

The Pirate's Fate (Visual Novel) / int_dd95a27b	comment	I Never Told You My Name: If you watch carefully in one route, you'll notice that Circe calls Tam-Tam by name despite the latter never introducing herself, right as the latter immediately knows where she's holding the coin. None of the others catch onto this, as they're a bit distracted at the moment. Indigo also seems to know the names of the crew before he meets them. Somewhat justified, as he has the means to act as a Mysterious Watcher.

The Pirate's Fate (Visual Novel) / int_e069fae8	comment	Bad-Guy Bar: Not a conventional example, as it's a fairly normal bar, but the one visited by the protagonists does seem to attract a crowd of people who aren't totally pleasant—someone has taken it over and has it up and running again within at most a few days of its owner being violently murdered, and people love to come and relax there after watching a good public hanging.

The Pirate's Fate (Visual Novel) / int_e7ecdeb0	type	Weight Woe
The Pirate's Fate (Visual Novel) / int_e7ecdeb0	comment	Weight Woe: Tam Tam is always confident in her appearance, even if she's gains weight, but she is openly hurt when a rude shopkeeper refuses to sell to her due to her size. Morgana will be the most sensitive about any change in her weight and often vents her frustration about the hindrances her size causes her. If Morgana is fat during the ending when Fox Morgana arrives in the timeline, she'll fully open to Mila about how her insecurities over her size and her fears that the skinnier, more refined Fox Morgana is better than her.

The Pirate's Fate (Visual Novel) / int_e8465b72	comment	Purely Aesthetic Era: Although the overall aesthetic is (as mentioned below) roughly Victorian, the events and milieu of the period correspond more or less to the end of the Golden Age of Piracy circa the early 18th century.

The Pirate's Fate (Visual Novel) / int_e95acf73	comment	Wooden Ships and Iron Men: The setting is at the very tail end of this era, Word of God placing it in roughly an 1850s equivalent. That said, the themes are there, and there are plenty of anachronisms anyway to lend it a more timeless feel.

The Pirate's Fate (Visual Novel) / int_eba6a077	comment	Cain and Abel: Both Nakhta and Bilba claim that this is the case, with the other sister as the evil one. The truth is neither one is purely good, but Nakhta is somewhat more trustworthy because she favors direct orders and values her family's lives, while Bilba is deceptive and willing to murder her sibling. Interestingly, the addition of Morgana prevents them from having come to this juncture, as she can mediate.

The Pirate's Fate (Visual Novel) / int_ec0ce986	comment	Spotting the Thread: Leeko becomes suspicious at Darious's sudden jocularity despite recent events, and more piratical nature after visiting Luprand's manor, so she decides to try flirting with him; the fact that it succeeds is a Cover Identity Anomaly, given that Leeko was until recently male and Darious would still think of her as such. Then, it's promptly given away by the fact that he calls the group "pirates" when Darious's Insistent Terminology was "treasure hunters", he uses third person, and finally furiously reveals that it's Lazerby possessing Darious.

The Pirate's Fate (Visual Novel) / int_f41b26d	comment	Breast Expansion: Mila's transformations change her physical appearance in a wide variety of ways, but in the end: the question isn't "Will Mila's transformation increase her bust?" it's "By how much will the transformation increase Mila's Bust?". No matter what path you take, there is a very strong chance Mila's going to have breasts bigger than her own head. Even Demon Mila, her least bustiest form, is quite a few cup-sizes above Mila's initial form. Also happens to the other characters from time to time, one of the most extreme occurs when Tam-Tam steals from the goddess statue.
