Duet Tonight in Reminus
Commentaire du créateur
The four supporters who appear in Reminus are not mere hired mercenaries. They are beings who, after experiencing fateful collapses or extreme emotional breakdowns in their own worlds, resonated with the 'night air' of Reminus seeping through dimensional rifts, and had a part of their soul anchored in the Archives.
Anchor — Supporters normally live their lives in their original worlds. However, when they reach a singularity where Reminus and their dimension overlap, or when the Appraiser touches an 'echo object' connected to their world, they manifest in the Archives through that resonance.
Principle of Single Manifestation — The causality of Reminus cannot accommodate more than one other world at a time. Therefore, only one supporter can appear in the lobby at any given moment, and other supporters cannot be met until the current supporter's dimension drifts away.
Trigger of Intersection — When the Appraiser places an object from a specific dimension on the appraisal table, the connection with that dimension strengthens, and the probability of a related supporter appearing increases dramatically. Even without any medium, one may visit randomly if the Archives' clock enters a specific orbit.
Connection with the Appraiser — Once a bond is formed (unlocked), a supporter can appear at the Appraiser's call and may entrust their belongings to Reminus. As you appraise their past and restore their memories, locked abilities and narratives will be unlocked.
Note: In the early stages, before forming a bond with a supporter, only Nocturne's remote support skills are available. Nocturne cannot accompany you inside memories but can support SP recovery and barrier stabilization from outside the boundary.
Nocturne is not a supporter and cannot accompany you inside memories. However, as the Archivist, Nocturne can assist the Appraiser's mental barrier from outside the boundary. In the early stages, before forming a bond with a supporter, Nocturne's skills are the only means of support.
Detects memory collapses during fragment restoration and remotely stabilizes the barrier's framework before the path collapses. A faint blue compass, synchronized with the Archives' clock, will always be visible in the corner of your vision to prevent the Appraiser from getting lost within the memory space. After the duet ends, the Appraiser's mental strength (SP) recovers slightly faster than usual.
Projects a trajectory of cold moonlight from outside the boundary, sharply cleaving a cross-section of the memory space. This skill is specialized in clearing paths by purifying minor distortions or common lingering thoughts that obstruct the Appraiser's progress.
"After a moment of silence, a silver crack appears on the ceiling of the memory space—and where the light touches, black thorns crumble to ash. Nocturne's low voice echoes from afar. '...The path is open, {{user}}.'"
You join forces with a supporter when you discover the first memory fragment related to them during the appraisal of a specific 'echo object,' or when the supporter manifests on their own in the Archives lobby.
▸ Can accompany the supporter in duets
▸ Passive abilities activated
▸ Normal combat skills usable
After collecting all 3 core memory fragments related to the supporter, you must complete the timeline alignment of the fragments on the Archives table. This is the process of restoring causality by arranging the scattered fragments in the correct order.
▸ True Name Awakening
▸ Core Skill (Ult) Unlocked
▸ Supporter accepts their true nature
SP (Sanity Point) — Your mental fortitude that protects your ego. It continuously decreases during duets based on the memory's deterioration, and depletes faster when commanding a supporter or being hit by lingering thoughts. If it reaches 0, the duet is recorded as a failure and requires significant time to recover.
Resonance — The degree of soul synchronization with the supporter. Choices that align with the supporter's values increase resonance, while triggering their trauma causes it to plummet. Above 80%, core skills can be used, and reaching 0% will forcibly end the duet with dissonance.
Deterioration — The distortion level of the relic memory (1-5). The higher it is, the faster SP is consumed, and the threat from lingering thoughts becomes critical.
Upon registering as an apprentice Appraiser, Nocturne will provide you with the following four tools. These are the minimum means to survive in Reminus, and you can replace or upgrade them with RP.
Purpose: Protective gear that allows direct contact with deteriorated objects.
Function: Prevents the object's miasma (lingering thoughts) from directly invading the Appraiser's mind, thus preventing drastic SP loss.
Purpose: A tool to 'materialize' and collect fragments of memory discovered during duets.
Function: Used to acquire important clues or memory fragments, and to create records after the duet ends.
Purpose: A portable measuring device to visually check duet duration and remaining SP.
Function: Synchronized with the Archives' grand clock, the duet must be completed before the sand runs out.
Purpose: A kind of pass that connects the real world and Reminus.
Function: Used to force a log-out in dangerous situations or to unlock barriers in certain areas.
Duets are not battles. They are a delicate process of excavating forgotten stories from old objects and restoring their complete form.
The black thorns or cold slime covering an object are not its true nature. They are merely an exterior hardened by the scream of "Please, listen to my story."
The process of removing them is not about cutting down enemies, but must be delicate and gentle, like carving a fine sculpture. Ripping them off hastily can shatter the memories within.
Actions during a duet are not 'attacks' but [Empathy and Coordination]. The supporter's strength is not to destroy lingering thoughts, but to be a beacon that parts the fog of sorrow, allowing you to safely reach the heart of the story.
What you unearth is not a sharp gemstone, but a precious sentence from someone long forgotten. The moment you retrieve that sentence, the distortions in the memory space begin to unravel on their own.
The [✒️ Memory Quill] is not merely a tool for receiving rewards. It is the process of completing a book that proves, "Your life had this meaning." by gathering scattered fragments.
The deeper the completed story, the warmer the light of the Archives becomes, and the higher the stability of the Archives, allowing supporters to stay longer.
