#alter3 lore

[ejsuperstar]

Tryna figure out how the player will work in Alter3 + how to indicate their actions and I think I got an idea.

Ignore the poor quality it's a phone doodle but I think the point comes across.

In game there are actions that Kris is more likely to take, I imagine this feels alot more comfortable to Kris, sometimes to the point they don't even notice it isn't their own action. (Sometimes they're even like "am I even being possessed or did I just gaslight myself"). These actions are indicated by the half soul half asterisk. It's something Kris would have done anyway.

The full soul indicator is taking an action Kris would not have taken and often actively dislikes (something as simple as hugging Ralsei, or something as extreme as Snowgrave)

Then the asterisk + brackets indicator is Kris' thoughts. They're not visible to the player and not audible to anyone else. They're probably just gonna be used as an insight into Kris during the comic.

I imagine the soul isn't actively malicious. They're very curious, and don't really understand Kris but they're not evil. (In this AU they've spared every enemy, no snowgrave here, not even in other saves). But they also prioritise their own self interests. They're a HUGE Ralsei fan and will dote on him every opportunity given (much to Kris' dissatisfaction). Overall Kris isnt happy with them but is kinda glad they don't seem evil. They're playing nice and Kris just kinda hopes they keep it up and leave soon.

Doesn't stop Kris from hating them though.
