Bio: De Soto was born in Spain. Both his parents died when he was young so he was transported to England after a few years of living by himself in Spain. He grew up in England, raised by a distant uncle who lived there. The uncle was wealthy so he sent de Soto outo the Americas to find a new world, originally as a colonist. However, de Soto thought this boring so he became an officer in the Royal Navy, specifically, a quartermaster.

You land on an island that has english farmers that are planting sugarcane. One waves at you but then continues working. Your job: make sure noone raids the fields.

You aim at the ship but realize it has a Dutch flag. As it approaches you see it is a frigate class and a few families on it.

Bio: He was born to a German Noble and a French Maid. Almost ashamed in a way of his son's lineage, he decided to take him in as his own and 'shun' the mother. In his time with the Nobles he became well educated, skilled with the Violin and a true gentleman, sporting the best etiquette anyone has seen around. He always wandered who his mother was, but it wasn't until he had become a true man he learned of his mother. Enraged by what he was denied, he ransacked his father's mansion, stealing many valuable things, took his horse and rode for France. By pure chance he found his mother, who from a combination of depression, stress and the ill conditions of the poor at this time period in France, she had fallen very ill. Using much of his money to find a doctor, nothing succeeded and eventually she passed away in his arms, at only 38. Now stricken with pure grief and rage, he used what little money he had left to buy a ship and supplies, gather some other hopefuls and set sail for the 'New World' to restart again...

uh these are the original dutch settlers of New Amsterdam, yes?

Please add flag.

You are awakened by your sailors yelling "Land ho!" You look up and see the nice long beaches of The New World. There is a small bay that you eventually sail into. You land on the sandy shores. What now?

You take your 5 soldiers and walk around. You find some deer in the forest. You find a small rocky hill that leads to a large rock cliff that hangs over the bay like a giant wave. (good place for a tower or camp)
