Pirate Family Crest
"In Development"
UTILITY
The Pirate Family Crest is next as a core utility NFT for the Project.
Family Crests will be key for staking and overall reward distribution as well as providing status and standing in the relevant family to which a Project participant has declared allegiance.
At least 1 Family Crest is required to access the staking platform and token distribution and to maintain a crew role in discord.
The more Family Crests from a Pirate family, the higher the standing in that Family as it relates to decisions, governance and reward distribution.
A complete set of family crests (one from each family) will allow a Pirate, irrespective of their Pirate family declaration, access to a portion of plunder from each of the other families and will bestow other unique in-game privileges.
TRAITS
A family crest has four core traits beyond its allegiance to a Pirate Family, being Gems, Seals, Compass and Backgrounds.
These traits are all relevant and necessary for strategic participation in later elements of the Project and the exact quantum of their impact on an attribute is still in development.
GEMS:
Will have a direct effect on all RESILIENCE attributes and the more rare the gem, the greater the positive impact on the relevant attribute.
In order of rarity:
Alexandrite (TBC) Black Opal (TBC) Diamond (TBC) Garnet (TBC) Emerald (TBC)
SEALS:
Will have a direct effect on all FORTUNE attributes and the more rare the seal, the greater the positive impact on the relevant attribute.
In order of rarity:
Aurelian (TBC) Halcyon (TBC) Gilded (TBC) Obsidian (TBC) Red (TBC)
COMPASS:
Will have a direct effect on all NAVIGATION attributes and the more rare the compass, the greater the positive impact on the relevant attribute.
In order of rarity:
Lodestone (TBC) Qibla (TBC) Prismatic (TBC) Naval (TBC) Gyro (TBC)
BACKGROUNDS:
Rarity is not a deciding factor with backgrounds as each background will provide a level of protection (i.e. increased survivability) against the corresponding event.

EVOLVING NFTS
The Project is very closely following the draft proposals and developments are "smart or Dynamic NFTs" on the Cardano blockchain and particularly CIP54. The principle being that we have envisaged certain of our NFTs (especially those with a lower trait count for example) will overtime be capable of evolving to complete missing traits following in-game events or other specific situations.
Use Cases
There are several use cases that this innovation in NFTs will unlock for the Project and below are two earlier examples of the thought process here:
In-game character progression, where new levels or traits are unlocked as the a Pirate progresses in a game, and this data can be stored in the metadata of a Dynamic NFT.
An in-game object can become more efficient when a Pirate takes a specific action. The action triggers an increase in efficiency and for example, the speed and and seaworthiness of a Ship in game can improve when a Pirate takes applies Ships Husbandry but as time goes by, the efficiency reduces.
