hero's heart-episode 1, scene 1 : wolf's level up
Added 2022-08-16 21:59:00 +0000 UTCso here's how level up for the characters will go: you can vote on the stats , you want to grow, and the 4 stats that get the most votes will grant the character a +5 in that stat. Once a stat grows big enough, something peculiar might happen!
aside from the stats you can vote to give the character a new trait, possibly describing it in the comment. sectopm If the trait option is among the four that win the poll, i'll pick the trait that receives the most likes in the comments.
here's a brief explanation of what the stats represent. There's more to them, but this is the gist of them:
Strength is physicality, fitness, from raw power to endurance.
Intelligenceis knowledge and the ability to apply it; everything from book learning to street smarts.
Agility is speed, reflexes, dexterity, and reaction time.
Willpower is ego. The ability to remain convicted, resist mental influence, and think for oneself.
Perception is using the senses to be aware of and understand one’s surroundings.
Thriftiness is bartering, being wise with money or a good business deal.
Loquaciousness is using the power of language and words, whether its pillow talk or a hostage situation.
Callousnessis emotional control and sensitivity, or a lack of both.
Silliness is a lack of seriousness or common sense and an excess in humor, joviality, and absurdity.
Special is something at the core of one’s being that makes them unique, for good or ill. Each creature has a unique special stat (i.e. wolf's special stat is Ruin.)
A WORD ABOUT STATS VS TRAITS :
Stats are the building block of a character and measures them. Every character has the same stats-
Traits are more specific descriptors or qualities of that character related to their backstory, mindset, or physical appearance?
Example: Strength is a stat, Dildo Lover is a trait
all right, that's all i can think of at the moment , hope this is not too complex! let the leveling up begin!

WOOOO SILLINESS GOT IN THERE WOLF DAD JOKES CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT FROM MENTORING A CHEERFUL, OPTIMISTIC YOUNG MAN THE THREAT OF CLOWN TF HELL YEAH Watching this poll for the last few days has honestly been fascinating. These stats, and the way they end up performing in the polls, is going to be interesting to keep track of. One note: Based on the description, you may want to consider renaming Callousness to something like Temperament, Disposition, or maybe even Zen. Unless you really want that stat to represent harshness of character specifically. ...I actually have a lot of thoughts about this engine, but I haven't compiled them all.

2022-08-20 20:36:55 +0000 UTCTrait spell eater : Can attempt a move when a spell is targeting him, if successful, the spell has no adverse effect and boost his strength for it's duration instead of the original effect

2022-08-17 19:43:48 +0000 UTCTrait: Fluffy : increase cold resisitance, better for sharing body warmth XD

2022-08-17 18:05:42 +0000 UTCTrait: Big Gut It allows Wolf to gain more energy and health from food and drink, however if he consumes too much it will apply the Bloated effect- filling his guts with gas bubbles and slightly restricting his movement in combat only for a short period of time.
Asher Heart
2022-08-17 15:58:27 +0000 UTCTrait: Iron Sight It allows Wolf to focus constantly on a weak spot or advantage in battle, even if he is under any spell or corruption (that means that he has clear idea of the situation, even if himself cant do something about it).

2022-08-17 15:40:41 +0000 UTCMoxie also works too

2022-08-17 14:22:19 +0000 UTCBoy, that bonus trait really is the wildcard option, huh? That's less voting for what you want and more just voting for chaos.
Synclonic
2022-08-17 14:02:33 +0000 UTCHoping that with Wolf's Perception being high will null or minimize the drawbacks.
Fe5ter
2022-08-17 13:56:19 +0000 UTCDownside could be it's hard for him to pick up on secrets.
Lee Evergreen
2022-08-17 13:38:30 +0000 UTCTrait: Oblivious Prevents Wolf from being afflicted by Charm/Infatuation, Intimidation or falling for Taunts
Fe5ter
2022-08-17 13:33:24 +0000 UTCCounterpoint- maybe he should get zonked plenty :3
Robert Smith
2022-08-17 09:56:09 +0000 UTCTrait: growth He can make himself big or small anytime.
Dark627
2022-08-17 08:11:36 +0000 UTCGive him a bit more will, especially if he has to handle a rambunctious young one
Randastasius
2022-08-17 02:19:29 +0000 UTCCall it "Guts & Glory".
Fe5ter
2022-08-17 01:51:24 +0000 UTCTrait : Sweet Tooth. Cute gruff Wolf can't resist a bar a chocolate, his tail wags
Retronicus
2022-08-17 00:43:31 +0000 UTCvoted for will power it's a BC story and with Meek in the mix wolf man is going to need a LOT of willpower
Rick
2022-08-17 00:42:21 +0000 UTCAny sense we have on what the Ruin stat means?
Teiran
2022-08-17 00:38:52 +0000 UTCI hope he stays nice and round even if his strength goes up. Maybe he just gets all kinds of thicker.
Ryn Fox
2022-08-17 00:25:16 +0000 UTCPerception. The more they notice the more we notice
Flux
2022-08-17 00:13:32 +0000 UTCLet’s try to keep his stats somewhat balanced remember a Jack of all trades is master of none BUT oftentimes better than a master of one.

2022-08-17 00:00:09 +0000 UTCHeh, Strength is going to win every single time if its an option. Ultra Beefcake Wolf is the future!
RexFurry
2022-08-16 23:43:25 +0000 UTCI kinda wanna suggest a trait called Glory Seeker. A trait that affects victories, rewards, and inclinations to seek higher paying, but higher risk actions, or lower paying, but safer actions. Something that would make him greedier or humble, depending on the circumstances. Successes can make him boastful, confident, reckless, while defeats can make him humble, weak-willed, desperate, with more successes/defeats in a row affecting him more.
Zen Furo
2022-08-16 23:38:15 +0000 UTCCan I vote to lower willpower?
Crimson Claw
2022-08-16 23:27:29 +0000 UTCI think this is gonna be a low intelligence run LOL I'll still vote for INT tho.
SentaiPanda
2022-08-16 23:26:09 +0000 UTCdeleted my trait since its something i want to give cherry! i'll comment it again next update or w/e Cherry levels
CherryDad
2022-08-16 23:22:18 +0000 UTCSuggestion for a trait: Insight. It would govern Wolf's ability to perceive the influence that the stars/players are having on the world, and potentially make him attuned to other magical forces around him.
Reindeercurt
2022-08-16 22:58:37 +0000 UTCCan "Loquaciousness" be used in Bartering? Wolf is a handsome fellow which I can see him easily charm/seduce a Shopkeeper in some distant village.
Fe5ter
2022-08-16 22:34:44 +0000 UTCI'd like to suggest Tradition. I'd say it affects much things like rituals, ceremonies, and holidays boost his mood, but also make participating in those things increase other stats, possibly? Conversely, Tradition would affect his reaction to new norms and the unknown. Unless someone can convince him it's actually some lost, arcane rite that they're only just uncovering, perhaps...
Star Ringer
2022-08-16 22:29:37 +0000 UTCLet's not forget the hidden Luck stat also help increase the probability of Enemies dropping Rare Item(s) or sought after Material(s) after battle.
Fe5ter
2022-08-16 22:28:50 +0000 UTCOh yeah, luck would be a great element to play with
2022-08-16 22:23:42 +0000 UTCNevermind, saw that trait is an vote option!
Brooding
2022-08-16 22:23:02 +0000 UTCWhere's the Luck/Critical stat?
Fe5ter
2022-08-16 22:14:53 +0000 UTCWhen we get to suggest traits? Every time someone level up or when they reach a threshold of attributes?
Brooding
2022-08-16 22:12:13 +0000 UTC(EDIT: reworked my trait) My trait of choice is Vore Enthusiast: gets hungry when they see another person, craves the feeling of swallowing them whole and keeping them squirming in their belly, pleasurably dissolving them into delicious pudge. (If you want to vote for this, be sure to pick "bonus trait" so that it stands a chance of being added as a stat)
