After 4 turns, they will gain a large all stats debuff and the exhausted status condition (Cannot dodge attacks and skills cost 25% more) for 2 turns. Can activate once per battle
    • (Unique) Explosive multiquickshot: High damage multishot that bypasses or explodes past defenses, explosive element. (Hidden: Bypasses most states that typically would dodge or block attacks)
    • (Fusion) Projectile overload: Reign and Brodee fire everything they have at an opponent, overwhelming their defenses with high damage. Highly effective against opponents with high defense or actively blocking
    • (Fusion) Up close and personal: Del creates a shield for Reign to charge in close, changes Reign’s position from backline to frontline while keeping their higher defense and dodging ability for 3 turns
    • (Fusion) London welcome: Fiona covers Reign’s bolts with elemental paint which is followed up by a basic rapid trickshot, omni-elemental (bypasses all elemental resistances), has a random chance to trigger any elemental status effect (3% chance to trigger, one check for each effect per hit, going burn > freeze > shock > stuck, one status per overall attack) and carries the typical properties of a standard rapid trickshot (part of the sharpshooter skillset)
    • (Ultimate) Rain of bolts: Reign pulls out a second crossbow, putting all their effort into aim, rapid trickshot with double the bolts and damage upgraded from small to high for each bolt
    • (Panic) (Automatic) Berserker: Automatically triggers when in Panic stance, charges into the frontline and greatly raises attack, deactivates when Panic stance ends
    • (Panic) Fists and arrows: Extreme physical damage, lowers reflexs and defense for 2 turns
    • (Panic) Fast fist/arrows: Slap on some e-gel (preferred) or e-spray and use Fists and arrows, uses 1 e-gel/e-spray, has a higher skill cost and lower accuracy but prevents the stat debuff, does not apply the normal effect of e-gel/e-spray
    • (Panic) Throwing hands: Attack with all their might, heavy phys damage and low skill cost but deals small phys damage as recoil
    • (Panic) (Ultimate) Headshot: No holding back, aims for the head, deals extreme phys damage which scales up with opponent health, causes all allies to become demoralised (all stats lowered by 20% calculated before stat buffs/debuffs) for the rest of the fight

Character notes that don’t belong above:

• Reign is someone with autism, showing the following symptoms throughout the story (if any of this is incorrect then please tell me! I have researched as much as I can and matched Reign’s behaviour to the symptoms I’ve seen)
  • Limited speech pattern when anyone else is around, getting words out in 3 word bursts
    • They are aware and do their best to communicate with this
    • Speech typically comes out blunt and to the point, not like they have words to spare
    • For a lot of info, they tend to quickly type on their phone, they’re fine with texting and online messaging
    • Alone, they can talk their own ear off for hours about the style of one of their favourite game series out loud without pause
  • Very much prefers life alone
  • Struggles to form relationships with people,
  • Speech is monotone
  • During most interactions, they carry a neutral expression, sometimes giving a small smile or a serious expression but only sometimes
  • Likes to stick to a daily routine, mostly in their own home so they can control as many variables as possible
  • When adventuring, they focus on the task at hand or whatever their friends are doing, as to distract from the lack of routine and lack of home
    • Note that they typically don’t start any detouring, they just follow along with others doing it
  • Finds beef biltong extremely comforting to chew on
    • With the whole video gamesk thing going on, while a bit of biltong is minor healing for most, it’s a full heal for Reign, oh no they’re eating the packet, oh no they’re begging for more, how can you say no to that face
  • Becomes quickly overwhelmed in stressful situations
    • If the whole panic thing isn’t a tell, being stripped of their friends for support is a trigger
  • Touch averse, even if someone is being friendly
    • Brodee gets a pass, he’s way too chill
  • At the end of story 1, suffers from a shutdown after Brodee is critically injured
  • Feels other than human, feels awkward even walking and feels they don’t walk properly
  • Can have strange reactions to social interactions
    • For example, when being given praise, instead of feeling good, they instead feel pressure of living up to the praise and worry about keeping it up and if they will end up disappointing in the future

• Reign deals with Agoraphobia, struggling without someone there to help ground them
  • Dealing with strangers makes their anxiety much worse, even with someone there to ground them, they don’t talk much
    • Weirdly great for the whole video game style thing going on if they barely talk but that is a coincidence, Reign is like this outside the context of this story
• Brodee is the only person that is in their life before they discovered themself, not that either of them will ever talk of such a time
  • Brodee is proud they’re living their best life
