About The Pull Request
Adds a new quirk: Resonance degradation disorder, a 0 cost "neutral" quirk that's only neutral due to its high customizability.
By default, you degrade each time you die. The higher your degradation, the lower your crit threshold and the higher your minimum stamina damage (you get tired each time you die, basically). You very very slowly heal when alive, which is expedited by resting, sleeping, or using rezadone.
Many other config options are available. Ex. You can configure how much you degrade while dead, how much formaldehyde/stasis reduces said degradation by, you can configure the rezadone effect, how much you heal, the exact mins/maxes of the crit rheshold/stamina damage, and...
What makes it DNR+,
The ability to be permanantly killed when your degradation reaches max.
Other features include: The ability to, via a verb, alter your degradation artificially. The ability to, via a verb, refresh your degradation settings so you can change how your degradation works on the fly. Feedback messages to you and everyone around you on death, PK, etc. A drop-down in settings that allows this customization without clogging it up too much.
The verbs are available to ghosts alongside carbons, meaning as a ghost, you can change your degradation. This is because these verbs are mainly OOC constructs, and a way for you as a player to modify your degradation, not as a way for your character to.
How This Contributes To The Skyrat Roleplay Experience
I never liked DNR. It's too sudden with how much death happens here. DNR is also supposed to give people a reason to fear death, but for many, they have a specific "range" of how much fear they want to inject. I dont want to be downright terrified myself, I just want to be worried and adverse to it.
This quirk does that by giving immense customization and non-DNR effects to death.
