# MGS Origins Expanded
MGS Origins Expanded is a canon-focused Metal Gear character system built around the Origins framework.
Choose from a large roster of Metal Gear characters, each with distinct abilities, passives, strengths and weaknesses inspired by their canonical abilities and combat roles.
## FEATURES
### 53 Canon Characters
Play as characters spanning multiple generations of the Metal Gear timeline.
Each character receives a dedicated Origin with mechanics designed around their canonical abilities, equipment and combat identity.
### Tactical Combat
Characters are designed around tactical combat rather than simple stat bonuses.
Abilities, movement, survivability, weapon affinities and special mechanics are combined to create distinct playstyles.
### Pufferfish Progression
MGS Origins Expanded integrates Pufferfish Attributes and Pufferfish Skills to provide progression systems for:
- CQC
- Blade combat
- Cybernetics
- Fieldcraft
- Marksman training
- Specialist abilities
- Stealth
### Firearm Compatibility
The mod provides compatibility layers for modern firearm systems, including:
- TaCZ
- Point Blank
Weapon affinities are additive and are designed to complement the existing weapon systems rather than replace them.
### Epic Fight Compatibility
When Epic Fight is installed, compatible combat systems and character mechanics can integrate with the Epic Fight combat environment.
### Weapons of Miracles Compatibility
Compatible Weapons of Miracles systems are supported where available.
### First Aid Integration
MGS Origins Expanded includes support for localized damage and tactical medical mechanics when First Aid is installed.
Metal limbs and prosthetic mechanics can interact with the First Aid damage system.
### Tactical Movement
Compatibility with Pehkui and ParCool allows the project to integrate with advanced movement and traversal systems when those mods are installed.
