•Supposedly there's a post on Reddit but I can't find it
P.s, These are the ones I could find, however if you find any that aren't on this list please tell me.
P.p.s, As Reddit doesn't like having multiple links in one post, this one gets removed whenever I update it, don't panic, it'll be back up within a day(thx necros!).
P.p.p.s, Shout out to the Twitter thread that Sumikaww made!
•Concept Incinerators are closer to Thought(Memory/Idea)・Obfuscation(Concealment/Erasure), especially at the lower levels(works on a memetic level not conceptual)
i.e; if an idea is a destination, and a thought process is a path, than a C.I effectively covers up that path until it is rediscovered/remade(crux of Dongbeak’s plan), and if the C.I is of a high level it can completely destroy a path but not every path, let alone the destination
That’s reserved for the original Concept Incinerator which would technically never be used, since it would erase all traces of its usage alongside whatever concept was thrown in
This is also why the Arayashiki needed someone with a high aptitude with time(time-blood) like Ryoshu in order to be effective, as it would be necessary to erase not only the concept’s present, but also it’s past(origin) and future(possibility).
•Yi Sang getting the Rien ID(Index!Don uptie story) means we’re technically getting two Roland IDs for our sinners with Heathcliff most likely getting the real Roland.
•The qualification of Matthias’s sword, Laevateinn(which u/Man_Person_Best_Hero has an excellent post about), could be tied with Hobbes’s Leviathan, which in EXTREMELY simple(and interpretative) terms; the people who follow a king, legitimizes and empowers said king
This is why Matthias had aptitude for the sword what with his loyal followers and comrades in the middle as a Great Brother, BUT because he betrayed that trust without an once of regret he can’t utilize the full power of the sword
In other words, to be worthy of the sword you must not follow the meaning behind it’s name(cunning/deception/injury) but rather its principals(Kingship/Leadership).
•Ren is better than every other apprentices and over half the Nursefather despite having less than 200 lines(spoken+flavour) total, as evidenced by the following:
—Him sharing design elements with 2 of Araya’s forms with the hydrangea patterns on the kimono, snake patterned sword sheath and sword tassel for Dihui Star Araya and the triangular belts with adult(suit) Araya, despite the latter not being necessary
—His first interaction with Ryoshu being him telling his master’s words while slightly nudging her into arriving at the answer that Dihui Star=Araya
—Later in the Pinky corridor, after Ryoshu says some very harsh things, he tries to warp it gently has: “I think she wants both the boughs and Araya”(he’s fooling no one)
—When given the chance to run away with title of Star with the permission from the only person(Rien) who had the right to stop him, he choose to forgo it and instead fought in order to save his master
—That’s not to mention how he’s also an extension and representation of Araya, with her being;
supposedly abandoned by Ryoshu,
under time-entanglement,
manipulated by Rien(+other NFs),
had to train in swordsmanship,
had to teach Ren swordsmanship,
raised him to be normal(look at the other apprentices)
and fostered a loyalty/admiration/respect deep enough where Ren would throw away his life for her
All within 2 years, more if we assume a time-dilation
If we dive into more nebulous(headcanon-y) information:
—His fight with Albina, while following the House of Spiders’s plan, could also be interpreted as him stopping her from intruding on the family reunion(SAIKAI) between Ryoshu and Araya
—In the following cutscene, he corrects Ryoshu by saying that the apprentices are the Nursefathters’s children, this is both a way for him to show his affection towards his master(Araya) while also reminding Ryoshu of what is important to her(also Araya)
•Okay, enough Ren(&Araya) glaze, let’s talk about the other kids:
—Lucio! A victim of abuse who resolved himself to cut ties with Valencia, but despite being given the chance to kill her, he still fell back into the cycle as her “textbook”
Your cure will be K-Corp ampules for your wounds, a loving set of parents for your heart and friends who will show you that your more than a textbook
—Sora! A victim of cult indoctrination and a apathetic parent(Rien), while holding onto a naïve kindness, a rarity in the city
Your cure will be family and friends who care about you, a will to do things on your own and a beeper that doesn’t beat your heart for you
—Albina! A victim of following her master’s footsteps 1-to-1, becoming a child who’s talent was stifled just to be praised even once, with her only friend being herself(Fascia)
Your cure will be people who love and praise you earnestly, a myriad palette that will expand your horizon and friends who will be there by your side
—Kira…your life is the most uncertain
Ranging from dying in the next Intervallo, fulfilling different narrative purposes if it’s done early or late
To meeting real members of the Middle and either getting recruited as “punishment” or dying for daring to impersonate them
To lamenting the life of your father, his actions and the death of everyone you’ve ever known, Distorting under the grief
Without a doubt, your life will be the most harrowing
And undoubtedly a bright eyed fixer will dispel that uncertainty with her lance, filling your heart with hope
This is a transcription of a post I made ~1 year ago, enjoy!
[Purgatorio: Canto I-█]
A field of red sprawls before our eyes, in it containing a red █, a red █, and a █ and █, █, █, █, █ █ ██ ████ ████ █ ██████ █████ ███████ ███ ████ ███ █████████ █ █████
–no, that the world refuse to acknowledge, let alone give a name, so we can only really refer to it as 'things'.
But beyond that, at the center of this "field" stood a lone cadaver.
Bearing a pale complexion, with the contents of her chest exposed for the world and maggots to feast on.
Strings of red connecting her dried, yet still bloodied hands, to where her heart is—
Or rather, where it should’ve been,
It was instead replaced with the shimmering yellow light of a golden bough. Another one of Hermann’s Tricks.
It was Yuri,
Well, and truly,
standing before us.
「–ah」
A pitiful sound eked out from the back of our group.
tuk tuk tuk, tuk.
followed by the footsteps of a puppet, with strings on the verge of snapping.
Who came forth was-
「y-Yuri..! y-You're alive!!」
Sinner N.13, Gregor Samsa, the most "normal" person on the bus, even in spite of—
–no, because he had his bug arm, he was able to act normal, to be able to crack jokes even at the expense of himself, to be able to be a pillar of support that everyone could lean and a voice of reason when conflict was brewing.
Yes, even if the City deemed him 'abnormal', 'unfit' or 'worthless', he was our normal, it's exactly because of that—!
...that an eerie silence filled the sea of red.
After all we're no different from the rest of the City,
relying on him however we please,
using him to protect our weak hearts,
and then throwing him away once we're better...
Even Rodya, the closest person to Gregor, eventually "warmed up" and joined us.
Leaving Gregor, well, and truly-
alone
...what broke that silence, was the muttering of the corpse before us.
「......n..a...」
「...! y-Yes! what is it Yuri..!」
「.....y..u.....R.........f......a......L..t.」
「—ah」
tskCRASH
The sound of glass breaking echoes within my mind, and the 'connection' I had with Gregor is turned into a shadow of itself.
「you're right...You're right!! From the very beginning, I was left behind! I couldn't help Mom or Sis with anything they did!!」
Gong
「I couldn't even use the gift Mom made for me for so long. And even then! All I could do was lead everyone to their deaths!!」
Gong
「Even when I was given a chance to atone!! Everyone else was stronger and left me behind!」
GONG
「..and yuri...oh Yuri!」
「Even though you were suffering, your smile gave me hope,」
It's my fault.
「When you gathered your courage and picked yourself back up,」
It's my fault.
「Even though I couldn't save you, you pushed me forward,」
It's my fault..!
「it's my fault it's my fault it's my fault it's my fault my fault myfault myfault myfaultmy faultmyfault myfa ultmyfaultmyfaul tmyf aultmyfaultmyfaultmyfaultmyfaultmyfaultm̴͎̂̕y̶̨͎̎̓f̵͖̮͒a̴̛͕̰u̵̡͍̚l̸̝̳̈́t̷͎̼͠ḿ̴̨̰̽ỳ̷̫̞f̶̗̺͛̓ḁ̴͑ŭ̸͎l̶̯̋̽t̴̹̋̚m̷̛̱͜y̷̗͊f̵͓̃ả̵͇͝u̴̠̱͒̀l̶̰͒t̵̡̮͊̉m̷̙̆ỳ̸̫ͅf̷͇͑͐͜a̶̦̿̌ǔ̴̘l̵͔̣͆ṯ̸̳͌̌m̵̠̽̑ỳ̸̘̀f̷̘̒a̷̞͌͜ũ̵͈l̵̡̙͋͊t̷̝̎̑m̸̗̀͘y̵̡̽̀͜f̵͓̓͊a̴̙͐͘ŭ̸̗̞͠l̷̳͙̾t̸̮̜̑m̸̘̪̔̾ỹ̵̫͈̊f̵̩͙̔á̸̢̇ù̷̠̕l̶̢͚̉t̶͙̍̈́m̸̅ͅỵ̵͐͜f̴͓͂́a̷̺͘u̷͚͚͘l̵̟̈́t̸͇͙͠m̷̡͎͊y̵̼̽̂f̵̡̄a̴̪̘̿͝u̷͓̜̚l̶̩̂t̷̺̰͝m̸͔͓̀͒y̵̭̯͝f̷̬̘̅a̴̫̔͛͜ṵ̴̙̋l̶̛͓̝̽t̶̒̆ͅm̶͖̭̔̒y̶̲͝f̸͇̞̈͂a̴̫͛ȗ̶̬̟l̸̢̟̀ṭ̶̤͘̕m̷͉͌ẏ̴̮͙̇f̵̖̈́̈́a̶̭͉̓̄ṷ̷̞͒̊l̸̛̜ť̴̗m̶̥̤͠y̴͔̝̅̄f̴̤̯̒̑ǻ̵͕u̵͈͎̔̏l̴͍͌t̷͉̂́m̶̺̀̒y̸͉̩̔́f̶̱̻̾͝ă̵̲͠ū̴ͅl̶̩̲̽ṱ̶̀m̸̼̖͂̾y̵̢͌̓f̵̡̅̈́a̸̝̩̕u̶͎̘͆͗l̶̲̭̔̊t̷̮̘̂m̴̬̍ͅy̵̧̯͆͗f̴̰̑́ạ̸̡͊̓u̵̪̿͑l̶̨̿̒t̷̨͎̔ṃ̸̑͊y̸͉̍f̴͔̑̚a̶̤̖̓͑u̸̳̅̀l̸͍̥̓̊t̶͚̼͆m̸͓̆ÿ̵̯͓f̶̛̩̻̍ḁ̸͠ǘ̵̜̏l̷͓̄t̷͇̹͛m̴͇̿̓ẏ̴̮̻ḟ̴̹̍a̶̩̍̏ṷ̸̄l̴͈͋t̴͎̿͗m̸̨͚̈́̈y̴̦͘f̵̼͒̉a̵͖̬̍̍u̶̢͚͗̌l̸̹̍́t̶͇͌́ḿ̵͍̆ý̸̽ͅf̷̲͌ä̴͓̳́ů̶͚̯̒l̴̩̗̓̈t̸̻͇͑͝m̷̢̆̈́y̸͉̎̀f̸͔̋a̴̯̙͠ú̴̞̜͒l̷̨̐ṫ̶̙m̸̫̠͊̾y̴̛̞f̴̦̽a̶̡̜͂u̶͍͓͆͋ḽ̵͙̔̈́t̵͎̀ḿ̸̪ȳ̸̝͋f̷̼̽a̷͓͉͐̍ṷ̸̡̅l̶̹͑t̷͉͍̐m̸͙̬̔̕ỷ̷̼̅f̴̫̉a̸̡̝̐͠u̶̪̐l̸͎͖̈̃t̵̫̎ḿ̵͜ẙ̸͚̰͛f̸̨͚̔ả̸̘͝ŭ̸͚̳̐l̶̝̎́t̷͈̙́m̴̻͚̏̓ý̸̟̊f̴̨̢̋̽a̴̳̺̐̐ǘ̴̞̳̍l̸͕͆̐ṱ̷͔͌͐m̴̠͕͊y̸̥̔f̷̢̀͝a̷͓̋̓ͅừ̵͍l̷̫̅t̷͔̆͛ḿ̶̤́y̶͓̭̓f̶̞̳͐a̵̙͐u̶̯̹͛̚l̷͓̏̓t̸̳͇͊́ḿ̵͓ỹ̵̘f̶̟̈́̊a̶͙͓͒ư̸̗ļ̸̪̒̑t̵͕̀m̵̡̫̔y̷͎͆f̶̨͝a̴̚͜u̸͋́ͅl̵̩̃t̸̮̆͂m̷̼̹͑͒y̴͋͜f̷̝̼̍a̵̳̍u̶̙̺̓͒l̸͕̺̊ţ̴̠́m̸͖̑́y̷̰͗̾f̵̦̚a̴͔̅ü̶̻̿l̸̟̬͌t̵̨͚̽̓m̶̥̈̅y̵̳̎͐f̶͔̞̏̓a̸̧̢͠ū̴͓ľ̶̞̼t̸̡̗͂m̸̗̾̽ȳ̷̰̤f̶͖͉̏ã̴͍ṷ̸̠͠l̴͕̐t̷̼̓ͅm̶̘̔̑y̶͓͙͌͊f̸̧̝̈a̴̫͉̿̈́ù̷͍͋ľ̴̻̮ṯ̶͓̊͋m̸̛͚͇̽ÿ̴͉́f̸͊ͅͅā̷͈̆ȕ̷̦͍l̶͓̺̒̌t̸̡̳͝m̴̨̻͋̕y̸͉̺͛f̸͉̠̒̑a̶̫͙̔͝ủ̸̩̠͋l̴͉̇t̴̘́͒m̵̨̎y̶̹͌̓f̷̨̯̋a̵̖̞̾u̵̗̩͒̓l̷̟̣͑t̸͈̺̚m̵̦̓y̸̙̬͗̚f̵̹̋a̸̹͑̉ǘ̴͕l̷͍̮̔̊t̷͖͌m̵̦͂́y̷̗͙͋f̷̡̀͂â̷̰̣ư̷͙͍͝l̴͖̍ẗ̴͓̻́̉m̸̡̭͕̠̥͑y̶̤̪̻̠̯̒̐̾f̵̯͇̟̭̍à̷̤̻̬̙̎u̷̼̫͓͇̭͋l̸̹̪̲̼̱̄́̌̈́͊ṱ̸͈̈́͜m̸͖̓̓̓̏͝y̷̛̖͍͈̠͍̾͑̈́̚f̷͕̠̥̹̽̅̑͗͝a̴͍̟̥̩̭̽ṳ̵̡̞̼̗͑̊͒ḷ̸̡̡͓̆͋́̐̌͜t̶̡͉̪̯̝̐́̌ṃ̵̬͈͋̎̈̚ͅy̸̦̣̌͑̀̑f̷̫͕̃̐ȁ̷̦̗͐̽ư̵̲̬̤̊̇l̸̻̥̯̋͌͐͜͠t̸̮̫̤̋͂̃m̵̦̱̯̯͐ý̷̝̺͚̅͑͛f̴̢̰̥̜̈́̄̈͑ả̵͎̯̓u̷͙̦͙̥̝͐̈́l̴̢̞̗͑́ͅṭ̴̅̓m̶̮̟͖̟̿ỹ̴̛̮f̷̢̨̮̲͓̈́̓a̸͉̩͊̂̀͂̈́ͅu̷̞͙͋̈́̀ḷ̷̨̣̗̗͂͆̍͑͝t̶͎́m̵͇̤̬̐͝ȳ̶̼͙̮̪f̴͉̟͐͑̆͝à̸̟̱̺̥͍̈̀̕u̸̝͘̕̕l̷͚̠̽̿t̶͙̬̖̟̽̚m̸̢̡̗͎̀̏y̶̗̦͆̿̓̐̊f̴̬̃͗̚a̴̪̒̈́̈́͒͐u̴͖͒͐̽̅l̵̳̈́͋t̷̨̢͍̙̽͒
For this entire journey, I thought you were someone who was strong,
who could have bounce back at any moment and still have the margin to care for everyone else.
that's why....
「Everyone! 2 Enemies are in front of us!!」
We will do this properly...
「The rearguard has a Zayin and the vanguard is an Waw—No, An Aleph!!」
ah right. i forgot i was suppose to be alive, so here's a sketch of an oc(Project IF)?? though because i was mindlessly sketching, a lot of it is wrong, biggest one being the outfit. ill prob draw 2 more ocs, then get back to "work"
My procrastination strikes again, tho this time it's only a month.
In that time I realized that, I'm not making a game, I don't need to worry about every detail, as long as it's believable, you guys can fill in the details.
That means I can be both John Limbus AND John Ruina!!
Let's fuckin GGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
also I'm separating all this in multiple parts before combining everything into a mega post on Reddit, so look forward to that.
Partie 2: Identities, E.G.Os & Panic
Here is the reference image for your sanity, looks cool right?
–Keypage/Core ID
Your bread & butter equipement for your Librarian/Sinner(I'll refer to them as Nuggets from now on), obtained either from the Gacha/Book Burning or as story rewards.
They determine your HP, TP, Speed range, Weapon Resistance, Sanity and what Core Skills you have.
They come in 3 main Rarities with 2 extra ones, which are:
Base(0): Default ID for every Nugget, most of the stats are determined by the skills & passives it is equipped with, or story progression
Ain(0̸): Filler IDs, cannot be equipped as a Keypage, but does provide general skills and passives for an associated faction
Soph(0̸0̸): Can be used as a Keypage by all Nuggets, generally not the strongest or most unique IDs but provide a good support for other IDs
Aur(0̸0̸0̸): Core part of most teams, can only be equipped by a select few, usually has a unique gimmick or playstyle and teams are built around them
Unique(✦): Reserved for select few like Colors/EGOs/Distortions, Deck cannot be changed and you can only bring 1 Unique per team
They can also be Levelled up and Uptied, but I'm leaving it to your discretion for how that works.
–Core Skills
Are the minimum skills that an ID needs in order for it to work.
By default the skills that are associated for that ID are equipped but can be swapped out if they met the requirement.
Ex: W-Corp ID(s) would have Core Skills that gains and or use charge but can be swapped out for those that do the same.
–Skills
The details can be found in Part 3 but the general gist is:
You can equip up to 9 skills(incl. Core)
They come in 4 rarities: Paperback(no Sin Affinity), Hardcover(S1), Limited(S2) and Object D'art(S3)
You have an infinite Defensive Skill associated with your Keypage and may gain more depending on what you have equipped
–Passives & Attribution
Each Keypage as atleast one Passive on them which can be triggered through EGO Resources.
You can equip more through passive attribution, each of em cost as much as the rarity of it's associated ID
(I.e Ain(0̸) Passive cost 1 point, Soph(0̸0̸) cost 2, etc.)
You cannot attribute passives of Unique IDs.
Fuckin hell that was a lot to type, go grab a bottle water if you haven't already, cause that means you've made it through 1/3 of this post!
...yippie
Ah–
we will now begin
The E.G.O Section!
Abnormalities...
Monsters beyond human comprehension...
representing different aspects of blah blash blegh!
You already what they are!
And neither of us care about that lore(rn)
what we want is to harness they're power in combat
And! Uh, I have some good news and bad news about that.
Let's start with the bad,
you may only equip 5 Abnos(1 for each Risk Lv) per team
I know kinda shitty,
good news it's a Fusion Between LoR's Abno Page and LCB's EGO Skills, which is the entire point of this series thing...
Can you tell I'm Tired?
Cause I've been sitting here for like 6~8 hours as I'm typing this line.
And this one is after another 3 hours, 38 minutes, 14 second
yea I came back just to type that, what of it??!
...for the sake of my sanity we will be using Telepole/Alleyway Watchdog(O-02-11-26) and the associated Sinners for the majority of this section.
–EGO Skills
Starting off, Abno EGOs acts as both your special moves and additional passives(for that encounter) and they come in 4 different flavors.
First and foremost is Dormant EGO Skills, only those who can not Resonate with an Abno can use these.
They do not trigger the Abnos Passives, roll lower and deal less damage, But they also cost less SP and Sin Resources than other version(s) of the EGO
Awakening & Corrosion(Overclock too) are Exclusive to those who are able resonate with the Abno(Faust, Don and Heathcliff in our case), I.e if you played Limbus you know what they do.
However, before moving to Synchronization let's talk about—
–EGO Passives
After using an Awakening or Corrosion Skill, at the beginning of the next turn, you are able to pick 1 passive from the Abno EGO you used.
In our case it would be between Faust's [Adaptive Release], Don's [Haphazard Discharge] and Heathcliff's [Roar], after which depending on the passive, you may(or may not) select who gets the passive.
This can range from random, 1 unit, multiple units, anyone who isn't the user, everyone on the field, only your enemies, etc, etc.
If you want another passive from the same Abno you have to use a different version of the Abno EGO
I.e if you used Don then you have to use either Faust or Heathcliff
There's also a limit to the amount of Abno passive you can have per Nugget but I'll cover that in the last section.
–Synchronization
Upon meeting all criteria and using an Overclocked EGO the selected Nugget Synchronizes with the used Abno and is overwritten with a Unique ID for the rest of the Encounter *Conditions may apply.
The secret? Well, you don't know what the criteria is of course!
It could be a 13 step plan, maybe you need to not bring something, maybe you just need 100 EGO resources or vice-versa!
In the end, it will stay an enigma until you use it for the first time,
of course I'm a benevolent moron so I'll atleast give you an example.
We'll be Taking Little Red(F-01-57) for our test drive.
Now using our knowledge of the Abno's Story what they represent, in this case revenge, we can deduce that it probably has something to do with the Bad Wolf(F-02-58).
I'll expedite it a bit here, but either have the Bad wolf on the Field or someone who used it's EGO Skill last Turn, pay the toll(Resources) and unleashing the Skill will have the Nugget Sync with Red Hood!
Of course you made sure to read the fine print right?
....right??
sigh, alright I'll tell you about the added conditions too,
in our case it requires Red hood to land the finishing blow on our To be Bad Wolf fail to do so and the Synced unit turns Indiscriminate,
if you kill all the enemies but fail to suppress them, then you lose.
Ah–, btw you can Sync with Every Abno if you wanted to, it's not always the best choice let alone a plausible one so be careful of that.
You can Obtain Abno Skills has Story Rewards, Side Content or through the Gacha,
and their passives through Uptie and or Supressions
(again up to your discretion)
NOW
we finally made it
the homestretch
the final section(of this post)
–Panic/Mental Types!!
You gain different effects depending on how high or low you SP is, hitting either extremes results in a Panic/Bliss state where you(usually) can't control that unit.
Mental types are determined by what Keypage you have equipped but can be changed under certain conditions.
–SP Gain & Loss
Winning/Losing a Clash
Max/Min Rolling
Enemy Kill/Ally Death
Skill Effects
Or Keypage specific thing
–ID Possesion
It's quite literally the opposite of Corrosion, but with IDs instead.
I.e, when you hit max positive SP a wheel is turned based on Nuggets currently equipped Skill.
Let's say it's a 3-way split between W-corp, 7-Assoc and The Ring.
So it would be a 30%:30%:30% for any of them to be chosen with the remaining 10% being nothing happening
Once something is chosen, all of your skill will be turned into a skill from that faction that is of the same rarity and is then shuffled.
After 1 turn has pass in that state your SP resets to 0 and you turn back to normal, the catch here is that you don't know which one of your skills you've used until the Possession is over, making it act as a punishment or reward depending on how you use it.
And with that...
IT"S THE END FINAALLLY!!
it took so, so damn long!!!!
Im never doing this ever again(in one sitting)
I still have part 3 to do so i'll crawl towards that eventually
with that I Hoped you enjoyed reading my ramblings
Until next time,
Toodaa loo!!
oh am i kidding
SANITY II: EMOTIONAL BOOGALOO!!
yeah...!
YEAH!!!
YOU TOUGHT THIS WAS OVER DIDN'T YoU??
Well, its not, so strAP THE FUCK IN!
Here's the emotion bars
reds negative
greens positive
Number in the middle is the Emotion Level, you increase it by using EGOs in ascending order(1=Zayin, 2=Teth, etc.) up to a Max of 5.
In normal gameplay.
it can go up to 6 if you use a Unique IDs mechanic or EGO Sync,
and 7 if you do both, good luck with that one
What does it do? Buffs you obviously, Action Slots, Card Draws, Number of Abno Passives, ID Mechanics.
Really whaterver the fuck you can think of,
and I already did my share
so show some of your creativity
See the Yellow bar on top? that's Grace, your max SP(- & +).
If the colored bars reach it, shit happens,
I think you can figure what.
you can also sSSSssPppiIiIiiInNnN it with Sinking&Floating(counterpart) so watch for that.

Ever Since Esgoo released his Charge video(~1 year ago),
the universe has been begging me to draw this, on the account of:
-Rantsona
-Soup
-Soda
-RR3 Worst Team(All of them)
-His promise to sing Gone Angels(Where is it Esgoo)
-And any other time he was distorting(Esgoo Curse)
That and being late to APR resulted in this, so uh, enjoy!
Hello hello~ it's your lovable idiot here, and a while ago I promised that I would "Re-conceptualize LoR and LCB systems" and what better time then...
then...
a-A YEAR?!?!
w-well...better late then never right?
Part 1: Health, Stagger and Sanity
Yep, part 1 since if I do everything at once I will cry, also
I'm just dropping this now so you have a reference to what I'm talking about, now starting of;
–Health(HP):
Ya love it, ya hate it, it's the simplest yet the most important mechanic, if it drops to 0, your dead. simple as that.
–Stagger(TP)
Your initial stagger is based of of your main Keypage/Identity you have equipped.
You gain(raise) TP with a successful defensive action and lose(lower) with a failed defensive action, the rate is determined by the difference between the 2 sides.
If TP reaches 0 you get staggered, if a 2nd or 3rd bar reaches 0 on the same turn you get staggered, it turns into stagger+ and stagger++ respectively.
Certain things may increase Stagger level or create new stagger threshold.
P.S; the x, y and z are stand ins for the actual TP value.
–Sanity(SP)
My sanity is at -50 from trying to come up for a way to make this damn thing work, and the closest I got was trying to combine it with the Emotion system from LoR, and guess what? I fucking forgot how I made it!!
SP does not affect rolls/coin flips(*exceptions may apply)
The main Keypage/Identity informs how you gain/lose SP and by how much.
You cannot have more than a total of 100 SP in normal gameplay, i.e [-50:50] or [-20:80] is fine but [-200:100] is not.
Pretty short on the account of it being the most basic elements, tho the next part will talk about Identities, E.G.Os and Panic/Mental, and I am already dreading it.
