Schizophrenia Online
Nin Online, but with addition of mental illnesses. Each time you create a character, RNG chooses you an illness you have to play with.
Main Features
RNG ILLNESS SYSTEM. Whenever a player joins the game, the RNG God chooses them an illness. A potential list of them will include anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar, eating disorders, personality or mood disorders, etc. These would greatly affect the ways that game has to be played. Some ideas from forefront of my mind:
DEPRESSED PLAYERS would have their stamina halved and could only do two dailies a day. They'd have to buy SSRIs from a medicine shop to function well, and make sure to take them daily! DEPRESSED PLAYERS, however, would get more XP out of grinding- it's a hassle for them to even do so.
ANXIOUS PLAYERS would have different triggers for their anxiety disorder. The triggers can vary and might be about places, certain people or specific circumstances. For example, a player could get an anxiety attack seeing Atrane. Because they're afraid of ginger people, let's say. Having an anxiety attack would halve the stamina, make players mess up their techniques and stuff. Can be countered by taking benzodiazepines.
BIPOLAR PLAYERS would randomly get a stat buff or stat debuff, sygnalizing mania or depression. They're like DEPRESSED PLAYERS, but with more flavor. Both buffs and debuffs would be huge, so BIPOLAR PLAYERS could get the equivalent of akatsuki's robe buffs sometimes, but other times their effective level would be quartered. If players are done with this, they can take antypsychotics.
BORDERLINE PLAYERS would automatically send nice messages in PMs to someone, just to become vile for no reason the second after. Their friend list would "bug", but really, the illness would automatically delete their friends from it and block them. They have to take their meds as well. Visit Medicine Shop, please.
SCHIZOPHRENIA PLAYERS would see and hear people or happenings that don't exist. For example, Assassino landing anything else than their homing. (/j) In all seriousness, if there is any, the SCHIZOPHRENIC PLAYER would see more active players. They couldn't see the true player count, like ever. They'd see multiple NPCs wandering the world, and they'd be all different while remaining somehow realistic. Take your meds carefully, might come out that Schizophrenia Online doesn't exist in the first place! Who knows?
FINGERTUTTING PLAYERS would constantly do something with their fingers. Who up tutting their fingers?
Changes
MENTAL STABILITY REMOVED. Stay true to the community, and finally give them advanced masteries. Well, for some- not everyone sees things. But some can! Amazing.
ADDICTION SYSTEM. Done with being healthy? Everyone loves pills! Everyone pops them. Regardless whether you take two hundred blood pills or SSRis, they can make you an addict! Without them, you're not doing so well. Can't use chat, your controls are swapped. This could remove frustration out of PVP! People would have to be mindful of their chemistry intake. Oh, yes, and it'd include gambling! We can become like Okaza, so cool.
THERAPY. Some people could invest into the third path of the MED. Therapeutic med, which would base on fortitude. You can make therapy sessions, listen to people's problems and make a benefit out of it. Some techniques could remove the negative effects of their struggles, such as mania of a BIPOLAR person or reset dailies for the DEPRESSED person. Whenever you do so, though, it costs you 1/100 of your life and your death results in a permaban. Can't have too much therapists out there!
New Content
ADDED FUNCTIONAL TECHNOLOGY. Done waiting for content? Just play Subway Surfers on your new Xiaomi 12T Pro. Now you can do that in game, amazing! Watch anime with people in your house through television, so cool! But beware, TikTok knows your location. And it's specifically not a good thing if you happen to be SCHIZOPHRENIC. Could ring some wrong bells in you. And don't play too much, you could get addicted.
ADDED BOOKS. For boomers or those who don't enjoy technology, we'd add libraries. There, you can read ANY book that exists in the real world! Basing whether you can differentiate between what's real and what's not. You should read Mistborn, very cool book.
NEW PROFICIENCIES. Breathing, walking, running, sprinting, climbing, jumping, talking- all of them could be levelled. If you're bad at breathing, your stamina depletes quicker. And EVERYONE hears you breathing! Even on the next map. If you're bad at walking, you will trip a lot! Don't get stuck yourself on a tree with that climbing level of yours! If you're bad at talking, you can't communicate! People start off with "goo goo ga gaa" level speech.
FINDING TORA AND OTHERS. Now, you can just kill the owner. No problem without their request like that, and your village has to pay you anyway. Just make sure to bury their body.
NEW ARCS 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60. In each one of them, you do different things. There are missions and NPCs for that, but you just cannot understand whatever they want from you. So they just occupy hokage huts and make it difficult to get to the mission desk! Some parkour, nice!
