Avatar Needs
_____________________________________________

Mortals all have basic needs to be met; water, food, and rest being the core basics. These aspects of your Avatar, must be attended to! Being unable to meet your needs, can lead to rather unfavorable consequences, such as sickness, or death...

Passing a day/night can happen within a single post, or after many threads & replies. When a day does pass into nightfall, and vice-versa, there are some changes that take place with your Avatar...
_____________________________________________

Guidelines:
. you can show these numbers in every post, or only when they change!
. if you want to gather items from your journey, you'll need to have room in your Inventory!
. you may Opt Out of having to track your Avatars Needs

Core Stats:
The symbols shown will appear in the official descriptions of items, foods, and drinks, so any reader can quickly tell what is affected; you do not need to use these symbols in your own writing/RP:

You can include the numbers in every single one of your posts', or only when the number fluctuates/changes; it's up to you!

Signs of Despair
_____________________________________________

As the days & nights wane on and the hunger, dehydration and/or unrest takes its toll, your Avatar will gradually succumb to their unmet needs. As the numbers tick up & down, there are a few characteristics that can rear their ugly heads in these times of desperation...
_____________________________________________

Guidelines:
. Be sure to apply these descriptions to your RP when falling into the given fraction!
. If your Avatars' needs remain unmet, they will surely face their demise...

Hunger:
Food gets you through the day! You can eat fruit, vegetables, cooked meals, raw meat, bugs, and many other different types of organic matter! Be cautious; not everything that can be consumed, is good for you. There may be foods out there where, when eaten, offers the increase in the state of your Hunger, yet effects your Avatar as a negative-state. i.e. Have a full '[100]' yet still be feeling 'Ravenous'

Hunger Index:
Your Avatar will feel the affects written below, depending on where they fall on the index; include these aspects in your writing!
There are a variety of foods out there your Avatar could potentially eat, from a large home-cooked meal for significantly raising those numbers, or pick-up a snack if the levels are merely peckish. Individual food-items will show how many 'points' it offers, and how many times it can be interacted with/eaten before being consumed.

[150/100] - Bloated and Suffering - [demise];
Over-floating stomach a deep ache long before reaching this point, a new, very sharp pain becomes apparent and blood starts pouring from openings/orifices'. Your guts have ruptured! You've a mere 5 hours to find someone to mend you, else you'll surely see the otherside.

[110+/100] - Uncomfortably Stuffed;
Guts all in an uncomfortable ache and the settling food giving way to gurgling and rises of food-ripened burping, your presence is considered lightly grotesque to others who may be nearby.

[100/100] - Completely Satiated!;
Not another bite! There's not a single inkling of snackish feeling or lingering hunger; even the most deliciously aroma-giving treat couldn't tempt its way into your belly.

[50/100] - Hungry;
Food is really good, isn't it? Stomach letting itself be known through a gurgle, your mind turns towards a variety of foods;
at this point, really anything could be satisfying to chow down!

[30/100] - Very Hungry;
Stomach a chorus of rumbling, pangs of strain come once in awhile to let you know about your empty stomach. A good hearty meal would be worth its weight in gold right about now!

[20/100] - Ravenous;
Rumbling ever louder and the pain of hunger ever present, those nearby may take note of your hollowed cheek bones, and the lightness of your body..

[10/100] - Starving;
A noteworthy waif-ness to your body and light-headed with fatigue, the crust off of stale bread would be heaven-sent.

[-5/100] - Emancipation - [demise];
Belly distended, unable to stand up due to fatigue, your body is wracked with weakness brought on by the hunger, and the concept of food has lost all meaning; everything is edible, isn't it, from the dirt of the ground to your own limbs. You have the rest of the day to hope, pray, and while away the minutes and seconds before you succumb to the darkness.

Hydration:
Water is the lifeblood of most organic beings! You can drink water, juices, alcohol, smoothies, and a variety of drinks to replenish your hydration. Some liquids offer positive and/or negative traits when ingested; things like Potions and Magical Concoctions can offer permanent changes to your Avatar. Other liquids may offer an increase in your 'Drink' stat, yet offer a negative impact. i.e.Reaching a full '(100)' hydration drinking salt water, you'll still be feeling 'Painfully Thirsty'

Hydration Index:
Your Avatar will feel the affects written below, depending on where they fall on the index; include these aspects in your writing!
There are a variety of liquids out there your Avatar could potentially drink, from a bottle of water for significantly raising those numbers, or sip a fine wine!

(130/100) - Drowning Lungs - (demise)
More and more taken until you're sputtering; gurgling. Splashes of liquid tumbling down your mouth and soaking any material you're wearing; there's an unmistakable stretching pain in your abdomen, and the next minute, you can't stop coughing! There's so much liquid in you that its getting into your lungs, and you can hardly pull a breath. Its a quick demise, but it's a rough one, full of choking, vomiting liquid, and ultimately, suffocation...

(110+/100) - Bloated with Liquid
Distended belly and feeling the water rise up your throat with every move to breathe or speak, it's an unpleasant experience, filled with a feeling of uncomfortable stretching in your abdomen and faint nausea.

(100/100) - Perfectly Satiated!
You couldn't be tempted another drink! You're completely contented.

(50/100) - Thirsty
A tall cold glass would go a long way right about now. Your mouth is feeling dry, and your throat is beginning to feel more and more like sandpaper with each and every unconscious swallowing action.

(30/100) - Painfully Thirsty
You'd pay hundreds of coin just to have a sip of water; lips cracking, eyes becoming as dry as your mouth, your throat feels so raw and painful that it's a surprise there aren't any trickles of blood coming up!

(10/100) - Dehydrated
You'd give an arm, a leg, or both, just to have a cool, drenching of delicious water. Your face looks drawn and harrowed, your lips are cracked and bleeding, what bits of moisture cling to your mouth have foamed into a sludge, and the dryness has spread to every conceivable area in your body. It's a despicable, harrowing ordeal, and every last inch of your thought is dominated by the obsessive need for water.

(-10/100) - Emancipation - (demise)
Over the moon with euphoric despair and knee-deep in hallucinations, blood comes up freely when you talk and cough, and trying to speak comes out as a very dry, terribly quiet harsh whisper. If there were gods and devils, it would be they who made this feeling possible. Its a slow spiral into a mental break down that lasts until the final day ends. Some wonder if those who pass into demise ever manage to find peace, or if they mutter and stumble ever deeper into the insanity that comes with this kind of demise...

Rest:
Sleep is mandatory to keep up strength, stamina, and to keep awake for those long-nights on dangerous treks. While your Avatar can potentially rest anywhere, having the right sleeping-bag, mattress or environment to rest in, can offer some temporary bonuses!

Rest Index:
Your Avatar will feel the affects written below, depending on where they fall on the index; include these aspects in your writing!
There are a variety of places where your Avatar can rest. You can choose to have a nap for 4 hours instead of passing the day- this will count as a 'rest' period! When going to sleep within your RP, you may choose how many hours have passed (anywhere between 4 to 12) or otherwise make a general statement, i.e. 'The night passed, and it was now morning,'

6/6 - Completely Rested!
Not an ounce of weariness in you, you've energy for the day and more!

5/6 - Well Rested
Well rested and with energy for the day, you'll be ready for a good sleep once the days ended.

4/6 - Sleepy
Able and willing to tackle the day, you do it with a few more yawns, stretches, and eye-rubbing than someone whose had a full
nights rest

3/6 - Tired
A dragging-your-feet kind of energy, you're slugging it a little when it comes to completing the days tasks.
