Kitsune

[AeraAuling]

Description

This is a draft PR for kitsune, following a suggestion to make one. Kitsune are a new species of Fox-like humanoids.

Kitsune are intended to be a more mystical, psionically connected species with a connection to fire and the ability to shift between a humanoid and a fox form. As of right now, they share a lot of details with felinids due to them being used as an example of how to build a species. This will change however, as they are intended to be balanced around a smaller health value, their ability to shift forms, and their inherent connection to psionics and amping bonus

The todo list holds most of the details. As of right now kitsune are "playable" in that they have one of their abilities, deal heat damage on their unarmed attack, and can spawn a foxfire entity but there's still quite a bit to do. this will presumably be updated as things are added supposing I have how these work correct

In terms of credit, VMSolidus worked on the original YAML, though a good part of it has been redone at this point by myself. I've worked on or altered most of the sprite work, and the C# code wouldn't have been possible without Pspritechologist's knowledge and help

TODO

• Create the humanoid kitsune
• Make a kitsune language
• Complete foxfire and make it spawnable (icon fixed)
• create the foxform
• make a way for the kitsune to transform into the foxform
• fill out the humanoid forms unique stats and health values(likely 85/185 crit/death values)
• add fox sounds and create kitsune sound collections
• make the foxfire inherit the kitsune hair color
• make the kitsune foxform inherit markings and customization colors
• create new ear and tail markings
• give kitsune an inherent amping bonus (to be done with future psionic refactors)
• potentially give them a glimmer based projectile??
• fix Urist Mckitsune so they are no longer just Big Felinid

finishing it will require a refactor of the polymorph system. It can, theoretically, be done with the current one by commenting out the PDA drop code but i'm hesitant to just change enough to be "good enough" and having said refactor pushed back indefinitely

I can do that for you absolutely right now if you'd like.

up to you. for kitsune specifically it needs a polymorph method that'll transfer accesses and can be forced back to the original form on crit/stun, but given it'd be for polymorphing as a whole, there'd also need to be stuff for the other methods of polymorphing like artifact reactions and admin smites, and honestly I imagine you'd probably want to make it something that could be worked into powers as well for stuff like wizard

I found where the PDA bug lived, and it was specifically because PDAs were set to "quickEquip: false".
You're good to go. Actually let me also set them up with some cool new goodies.

Alright you now have Psionic System integrations for Kitsune. Foxfire is now treated by the game as a Psionic Power, and is beholden to all the same limitations of psionics. Kitsune now have everything we originally planned them to have as related to Psionics.

• Starts with the Latent Psychic trait for free. They still however have to either roll for, or buy Natural Telepath to have access to Telepathy.

• Baseline Amplification & Dampening is 0.15 higher for Kitsune. They are SLIGHTLY better at psionic casting than other people.

• Gains 50% more Potentia when rolling for powers. Effectively, Kitsune are extremely talented at gaining magical abilities compared to normal people.

• Foxfire works as a Psionic power, IE: Requires the caster be Psionic(If a Kitsune is Mindbroken they lose their innate ability), requires the caster not be Insulated, etc. Foxfire also doesn't occupy a spell slot, so it's a "Freebie" power for Kitsune.
