Re:Vainglory - Yet another Backstory Merchant

This is the sixth authority addon for Re:Death.

Let me know any bugs/suggestions by joining my discord server

It adds the authority of vainglory. There is only ONE Vainglory per world and it can NEVER be found in an authority box: it is offered only by Pandora herself, in the Pandora Event.

How to obtain:

Every ~10 minutes of play, a player who has a high affinity (85+) with a sin they do not carry may be visited by Pandora (never during a fight, never in the End). She appears behind you, the world stops for a moment, and she asks if you would take the seat of the Archbishop of that sin. Rarely (5%) the seat she offers is Vainglory itself, and only to someone who has already touched an authority box. You have three answers:

• Accept
• Refuse
• Kill her

Not answering is an answer too: after a minute it counts as a refusal.

The authority:

Vainglory narrates, it does not fight. It has no madness and no box to fail: you do not force the seat, the seat chooses its sitter. You tell the world how it was, and it was. Every fact has a Thread cost and a cooldown.

Moves:

Z-Rewrite:Tap to tell the fact in the active slot on whoever you are looking at (on yourself if nobody), Shift tells it to everyone around. Hold and use the mouse wheel to choose between 3 slots (the hotbar does not scroll). Hold Z and right click to tell it about yourself. If your body lies dead (see Passives), Z rewrites your own death.

X-Knot of the World:Every fact you can tell, in categories, tied in a knot, with a search bar. Click or Enter to tell it right away, right click to put it in the active slot, 1/2/3 to choose the slot. Facts that need words (an item, a player, a structure, a memory) take them from the bottom line. It also has a Bind page with your three slots and a Knowledge page that explains the fact you are looking at.

C-The Script:One continuous book, the story of your world (see below).

V-Was Already There:Your hand goes out, a flock of doves, and you are where you said you were. Hold V to open the map and choose the spot.

The Facts:

Around 60 facts in 10 categories, plus the ones modpacks and datapacks add (Other worlds):

• Body: a hot meal, a hearty meal, caught their breath, always rested, never poisoned, never caught fire, never cursed, never fell, slept well, kept their footing, found shade, always warded
• World: the rain stopped, the storm passed, already day, already night, the harvest is ripe, there was no fire, the fuse was never lit, the arrow was never shot, the door was open/closed, the wall never fell, already planted, the water settled
• Place: was already there, never came here, went home, went to, was already beside you (asks the other player), where the other stood
• Things: already had it, already cooked, already put away, always knew the way, a letter arrived
• Memory: never saw you, forgot the place, forgot why, remembers what never happened, gives a memory back
• Senses: looks like you, you look like them, one looks like the other, looks dead, was never there
• Beasts: went there, followed a scent, went back
• Story: it was fate, a Gospel was written
• Small things: a birthday, always tame, calmed down, fell asleep, already awake, the village never knew, a lucky day, a warm cloak

The Script:

A main line of 28 pages in seven parts, plus 40+ loose pages and 17 multiplayer-only ones, built from the story, the advancements of every mod and the quests of your modpack. Each page is a task for the world (find, build, survive an attack at night...) and shows who, where, how far and how hard. Every page you fulfill, or fail, writes a new paragraph of the Chronicle, linked to the previous one and based on what you really did. You can also hand a page to another player as a Gospel: if it comes to pass, they are blessed.

The Thread:

Your Thread (0-1000, you start at 600) is spent by telling facts, the bigger the fact the more. A fulfilled page gives +250, and every day without a fulfilled page takes 100. A thin Thread makes facts costlier and slower, a full one cheaper.

Passives:

• You cannot hurt anyone: every damage you would deal is 0, by hand, weapon, arrow or potion. A creature you tamed still bites.
• Mobs notice you less and forget you a few seconds after losing sight of you.
• Death never happened: when you die, your body stays on the ground for a few seconds, then "it did not happen": you stand a little further away, without a scratch, among the doves. A very strong blow (or the void) annihilates you instead: no body, the image is erased like a page, and you come back nearby. Press Z while the body is on the ground to reappear falling slowly onto the shoulder of whoever killed you. Do it too often and the Thread drops hard.
• A fall rewritten as "never fell" does not hurt.
