System, give me an update on everything. Skills, traits, the works. And what about achievements and titles? Did you forget about those, or have I just not earned any yet?
[User Status Report Generated.]
Designation: Ali
Location: Blackridge Steading (Frontier Homestead)
Physiological Condition: Fatigued but stable. Mild malnutrition. Skeletal muscle density increasing. Minor neural adaptation to mana-suffusion underway.
Core Metamorphosis Index: 0.00192%
I. CORE & METAPHYSICAL SYSTEMS
Mana Core: Grade: Fledgling | Rank: F- | Capacity: 100 (System Estimated Units)
Current Mana: 0.00192 / 100
Passive Regeneration: 0.00001 units/hour (Ambient Field Density: Low)
Active Draw Capacity: Untested. Not Recommended.
Unique Trait: Core Mutability (Unbound). Your core's grade, rank, and capacity have no inherent ceiling. Growth is determined by effort, resource intake, stress events, and System optimization. WARNING: This trait is anomalous. Concealment is paramount.
Mana-Sense: Rudimentary (Passive). Can perceive ambient mana field as uniform pressure and differentiate gross source textures (life, earth, structural, void).
II. SKILL PROGRESSION
Skills are organized by emergent Branch Proficiency. Higher branch proficiency grants minor acceleration to learning new skills within that branch.
A. Primary Branch: Brawn Tasks (Proficiency: Apprentice - 15%)
Manual Labor - Log Transport (Lv.4, Tier 0 / F-)
Manual Labor - Digging (Lv.5, Tier 0 / F-)
Manual Labor - Barrow Handling (Lv.4, Tier 1 / F) [Tier Upgraded: Improved axle-weight balancing]
Manual Labor - Stone Hauling (Lv.5, Tier 0 / F-)
Manual Labor - Collaborative Lifting & Bracing (Lv.2, Tier 0 / F-)
Axemanship - Splitting (Lv.3, Tier 0 / F-)
B. Secondary Branch: Foundational Survival (Proficiency: Novice - 6%)
Hiking - Forest Trails (Lv.4, Tier 0 / F-)
Observation - Threat/Resource (Lv.3, Tier 0 / F-)
Foraging - Berry Identification (Lv.1, Tier 0 / F-) [Analogous Species Only]
C. Tertiary Branch: Skilled Labor (Proficiency: Novice - 2%)

D. Nascent Branch: Mana Manipulation (Proficiency: Fledgling - 0.5%)

Can shakily direct miniscule mana flows within own body. 98% waste. Control: Poor.
E. Cognitive/Social Branch: (Proficiency: Novice - 3%)
Local Language - Lowland Dialect (Lv.6, Tier 0 / F)
Fluent comprehension for daily needs. Accent marked. Idioms often missed.
III. TRAITS
1. Adrenal Fatigue (Minor) - Dormant.
Not currently active due to reduced sustained stress. Can re-activate under duress.
2. Hyper-Vigilance (Forming) - 40%
Repeated exposure to unknown threats in wilderness and social marginalization is creating a baseline state of heightened awareness. May evolve into a perceptive trait or degrade into paranoia.
3. Frontier Laborer's Resilience (Forming) - 25%
Body is adapting to constant, heavy labor. Slight increase to pain tolerance and recovery rate from muscular fatigue.
IV. ACHIEVEMENTS & TITLES
[Achievement System] is passive and context-sensitive. Achievements are logged for significant, verifiable firsts or extraordinary feats. You have not yet met any thresholds.
Example Locked Achievements: [First Blood], [Monster Slayer (Minor)], [Pathfinder], [Hearth-Guest].
[Title System] is more complex. Titles are conferred by the World or by significant recognition from a group/entity. They often carry subtle passive effects or reputational modifiers. You possess no titles.
You are currently designated by the local paradigm as: Stranger, Laborer, Ward-of-Suffrance.
Your unique [Core Mutability] could, in theory, eventually manifest as a personal Title (e.g., [The Unbound], [Core of Potential]), but this would require self-actualization or external recognition of the trait—a dangerous prospect.
V. CURRENT OBJECTIVES (System-Assessed)
Primary: Survive. Maintain probationary status at Blackridge Steading.
Secondary: Grow Mana Core to 1/100 capacity (0.01%).
Tertiary: Raise [Mana Manipulation - Internal Channeling] to Level 2.
Long-Term: Acquire sufficient survival skills and resources to safely travel to Millers' Crossing for integration into wider society and access to magical knowledge.
[Synopsis]
You are a foundational-level entity. Your physical skills are those of a moderately useful adolescent laborer. Your metaphysical capabilities are less than those of a newborn infant in this world. Your advantages are hidden and long-term: an optimizing intelligence (System), a mutable core, and a desperate, grinding will. You have earned no accolades. You hold no titles. You are, by every measurable standard, insignificant.
You are also the only person in this forest whose potential growth curve is a vertical line aimed at infinity. Do not mistake the former for the latter.
