#About the Status Screen and the RPG System#
#=Space
New "Status Screen", now called Character Menu.

Strength, Agility, etc… are attributes of the character. They range from:
1. Super(Race suffix) Ex: SuperHuman, SuperDwarven...
2. High
3. Above Average
4. Average
5. Bellow Average
6. Low
7. Weak
The attributes are calculated from the medium of the Race of said character. For example, a Human with High Strength can overcome most Humans in a duel, but struggle against a Low Strength Giant.
This attributes ideas are inspired by a game called Dwarf Fortress.

If, for example, your right hand is in good shape, it will show up with a blue color.
Blue = Perfect
Red = Damaged
Black = Almost gone or entirely gone.
The Status Menu shows personal information. I don´t have a design for it yet.
#Who has the Character Screen/ Character Screen Properties#
Every creature that has a mind(At least the minimum human intellect) and a soul(which savage animals don´t have in this fantasy world) has access to their Character Screen.
It is possible to show you Character Screen to others. It is also possible to fake them, with magic and some abilities. That´s why most judges don´t use them as a reliable source for information.
#On Characters and Writing#
One error I did commit was not giving the main character a clear overall objective. That will be answered in the next chapter, where I will prepare the ground for the next arc. I started this story with just a cool idea, so the chapters were kinda shallow in content, and the characters weren´t properly established.
For now, I will not rewrite the beginning, but work with what I already have and fill the "plot holes" as I go.
#End Notes#
If there are any more problems with the story that you have noticed, please tell me in the comments. I will try to fix it updating this "patch" or in the next chapters. I actually thought about a lot of things to fix, but then I slept and forgot most of them(Kyon_FacePalm.png).
