The player

The player is really defined by a somehow small list of properties.

However, the perception of it will depends on a far larger since the world is created by the players (but the world isn't the player).

Self properties

The main properties are :

  1. the player identifier,
  2. its energies,
  3. its status,
  4. its actions,
  5. and the memories.

Identifier

It is a global “name” of the player which includes the name (pseudonym), its race (character type) and its origin (the place he's from).

For instance : xion.luhnis@airian:weaver

  • Name : Xion Luhnis
  • Race : airian
  • Origin : Weaver

Energy

There are two main energies : the breath (bp) and the initiative (ip).

Breath

The breath corresponds to the character physical health.

You recover it by (unless in a special state) :

  • resting
  • or using a healing action

You lose it by :

  • being attacked
  • but also when simply moving
  • or when in a specific state or area such as underwater.

Initiative

The initiative is the moral and spiritual part of the character.

The moral depends on the status of the character as well as its current action results.

You lose moral by :

  • getting a lot of damage
  • failing an action
  • when in a specific state (such as lazyness)

Status

The state of the character will vary automatically.

However, specific states can happen in specific conditions.

For example :

  1. poisoned after being attacked or falling in a poison trap
  2. frozen when the weather is really cold
  3. thirsty when it is too warm

Actions

A basic character can move, talk and act with its environment depending on its memories.

It can have specific skills which comes from its equipment 1) :

  • the tool which is the primary piece of equipment
  • the complement which can be either a secondary piece or a specific addition to the primary one
  • the wearing which may change the appearance and state or skill availability

Memories

The memories are contained in a specific notebook the player can access (as the memory book).

Memories include :

  • the completed quests
  • the the visited places
  • the learned skills
  • the specific activated events
