HELLO FRIENDS long time, no deets! I started Chelsea's profile here back in late February but got the profile itch and finally got around to completing it today! I actually wanted to start a different character's profile today, but then I realized Chelsea was still unfinished and decided I might as well get her out of the way first. Check it out!! She's cool and my friend. She was designed by veronabeach95, who has super good art and neat designs!!

If you're particularly keen-eyed you might notice the stats page is a little different, and that's because I got rid of the charisma stat and charisma skills because I dunno where I was really going with those. Since I still don't have a stats info page thing done, though, I decided I'd use this bulletin to describe them a little bit!

Bear in mind these stats are based off of theoretically being in a kind of SRPG a la the Disgaea or Fire Emblem! Also note that the stats bars don't refer to solid values aside from MOV; a 75% full SPD bar doesn't mean their SPD is at 75, it just means that their SPD is higher than average in comparison to other units.

Element refers to the 16 elements I've come up with. You can check them out here in this type chart! Each character can have two elements to them like in Pokemon, and like Pokemon again this element combination determines their weaknesses and what special skills they get bonus damage for using. I'm thinking of having a sub-element system where if the unit does something or another or uses a special item they can add (or replace if they already have two) an element from a very small pool unique to them. Dicro, for example, who has sadly now fallen to page 2 of my characters, fits into a lot of categories thanks to his variety of abilities. So his pool would consist of Air, Metal, Mind, and Soul but he'd start off with just two of those as his basic elements.

Species refers to the 18 species categories I've come up with, listed here. I might add more, I might not, I dunno. Certain skills have a higher/lower effectiveness against certain species, like holy skills dealing extra damage to Demonic enemies or a hacker character having an attack that deals more damage to Technological enemies. Species might also be relevant in one's Passive Ability or Personal Weakness.

Positioning Skills are abilities like those in Fire Emblem Heroes and akin to the ability to lift and throw in Disgaea. These skills let units move other units - friend or foe - around the board. These aren't unique to every character, with each character instead having one positioning skill from a pool of 10 or so which I still need to decide on oops hence why I haven't made the official stats page yet...

Passive Abilities are akin to Evilities from Disgaea or Abilities from Pokemon. Passive Abilities are a unique trait that each character has. This ability might strengthen allies, weaken enemies, etc. The unit might get a boost based on HP threshold, they might lower ailment resistances of foes next to them... it varies a lot!

Personal Weaknesses are sort of the opposite of Passive Abilities in that they're always a negative effect. Personal Weaknesses are unique to the character and based on their fears, likes, so on and so forth. This usually amounts to dealing less damage to or taking more damage from certain species or elements.

Friendship Bonuses are +5% bonuses other units receive from befriending the unit in question, a la the support system in Fire Emblem. I haven't decided if this is a flat, permanent boost to the unit's stats or if it only applies if the units are within a certain range of each other. Considering in this theoretical game you can support everyone with everyone, that might make the former OP, but on the other hand I like the idea of everyone having permanent, static stats and therefore creating bonds with others is the only way to get stronger and stand up to the stats of later foes. But I'm rambling!

Now for the stats themselves:

• HP: Hit Points. Your stamina, basically. If your HP runs out, you die!
  
• SP: Skill Points. Skills cost SP, and if you run out of SP you can't use said skills anymore.
  
• ATK: Physical attack. Targets opponent's DEF.
  
• DEF: Physical defense.
  
• MAG: Magical attack. Targets opponent's RES.
  
• RES: Magical defense.
  
• ACC: Accuracy. Affects hit rate.
  
• SPD: Speed. Still thinking on whether this impacts turn order or evasion, but probably the latter since I've never been that fond of the former since I never end up getting a feeling for who goes in what order...
  
• TEC: Technique. TEC decides whether or not additional effects occur from skills that have said effects. For example, an attack debuff will always work, but a skill that has the potential to inflict an attack debuff will always have a TEC% chance of doing so.
  
• LUCK: Luck effects the likelihood of dealing a critical hit and the likelihood of evading one. Basically, the formula for crits would be Your Luck - Foe's Luck. I might switch TEC and LUCK around, though, since technique sounds more like a critical thing and making extra effects take effect sounds more like a luck thing...
  
• MOV: How many spaces a unit can move, ranging from 3 to 8.
  

And finally, the status effects! Higher resistances mean the character is more resistant to that specific element:

• Paralyze: Target can't move, use positioning skills, or use melee attacks. SPD reduced to 1.
  
• Poison: Target takes damage every turn, either 10% or modified by the user's TEC/LUCK stat???
  
• Solidify: Like petrification, but also refers to things like being frozen, etc. The target is unable to act or move. SPD is reduced to 1, but DEF and RES are raised by 50% or so.
  
• Sleep: Target can't act or move, SPD is reduced to 1, and DEF and RES are reduced by 50% or so... but they'll wake up upon being moved or attacked and restore 10% or so of HP & SP per turn. Recovery might be altered by the same stat Poison is if I go that route??
• Curse: Target takes damage to SP every turn, either by 10% or modified like with Poison.
• Fury: Target's ATK & MAG increased by 100% but DEF, RES, and ACC are reduced by 50% or so and the target may deal damage to themself instead.
  
• Seal: Target cannot use special skills.
• Dread: Target's ATK & MAG are lowered by 50% and the target may refuse to act.
• Charm: The target will use healing and support skills on foes and move toward the inflictor.
• Panic: The target will act randomly under AI control, potentially attacking allies or themself.
  

And that's that! I might alter the link in people's bios to lead to here for now, but as you can see I still have a few things to figure out before I go out and make a big official post describing everything. I also have to go back and edit Anthuria and Flann's profiles to reflect the removal of CHR but I should probably do that after I figure the other things out...
