Vibe Zen (v0.3)

Finally, I can announce my first mod for Paralives! I've been working on it for a few days (since launch) and I've finally achieved it! [hr] Overview A new vibe has been added to the game, allowing Parafolks to deal with stress in a unique way through the pursuit of Inner Peace. Parafolks with this trait need moments of quietness and introspection to maintain a calm mind. If they fail, the mind becomes conflicted and restless. New Need: Inner Peace A bar dedicated to the character's mental balance. How It Decreases: • Base Decrease: The need drops slowly throughout the day, simulating daily fatigue. • Accelerated Decrease: Inner Peace drops rapidly when the character is performing stressful or social activities such as: working, studying, cleaning the house, and talking in a group. How It Increases: • Meditation: A dedicated action that actively recovers the Inner Peace bar. • Being Alone: If the character is alone performing any action or resting, Inner Peace begins to gradually regenerate. [hr] Trait and Its Evolutions Base Trait: Zen Zen Parafolks are calm, focused, and maintain a quiet mind under any circumstances. They thrive the most when they are in a state of peace and focus. Evolution Line 1 • Evolution 1.1: Serene Mind | Effect: The need for Inner Peace is fulfilled 3x faster. • Evolution 1.2: Pacifying Aura | Effect: Emits a calming energy (+2 Happiness) that makes the Parafolks around them happier and more peaceful. Evolution Line 2 • Evolution 2.1: Emotional Balance | Effect: The need for Inner Peace decreases 3x more slowly and grants a constant +2 Happiness. • Evolution 2.2: Unwavering Focus | Effect: Focus skills (such as Music, Painting, and Cooking) improve 2x faster and grant +3 Inspiration during the action. [hr] Compatibilities and Relationships The Zen personality interacts in different ways with other personalities: • Zen + Zen (Great Synergy): Two Zen characters understand each other perfectly. Grants a +20 compatibility bonus. • Zen + Peaceful (Good Synergy): Zen characters get along very well with the peaceful personality. Grants a +10 compatibility bonus. • Zen + Energetic (Clash): The restlessness of the energetic personality disturbs the Zen quietness. Applies a -10 compatibility penalty. • Zen + Melancholic (Clash): Melancholy conflicts with the pursuit of peace. Applies a -10 compatibility penalty. [hr] Status Effects • Zen Mind: Indicates that the Parafolk is under the influence of happiness and peace. • Serene Mind: Increases the rate of Inner Peace gain. • Pacifying Aura: Grants happiness to all characters in the same room. • Emotional Balance: Reduces the decrease of Inner Peace and gives a happiness bonus. • Unwavering Focus: Accelerates the gain of focused skills and grants inspiration. • Meditative State: Achieved through deep meditation, providing peace and +4 Inspiration. • Conflicted Mind (Negative State): Activated when the Inner Peace bar is completely depleted (0%). Applies a constant +2 Stress and +1 Sadness, blocking the Unwavering Focus bonus while the mind is restless. [hr] Social Interactions • Zen Introduction: Introduce yourself with a calm greeting full of good energy, making the other Parafolk happy. • Shared Meditation: Invite another Parafolk to a moment of silence and focused meditation, inspiring both. • Monotonous Speech: Talk about inner peace and breathing for too long. Might bore more energetic Parafolks. • Zen Indifference: Respond to an emotional outburst with extreme coldness and neutrality. Might irritate more emotional Parafolks.
