OC Main!Twisted design for @inspiredpixels's MCS Contest!
This dream construct has Twisted into a corporeal form due to her Astro's unique affliction.
Originally created to help with his alertness, she often abdicated her duty so the two could indulge in daydreams. Now that Astro's Ichor-laden mind is incapable of holding pleasant thoughts, she prowls the Waking World for an unguarded consciousness to swim into.
If this Twisted appears, the other Oceanids are guaranteed spawns; Twisted Astro or Astro's floor is required for this Twisted to appear.
[SEASHELL]
At the start of the floor this Twisted inquires with her seashell. The Toon with the lowest stamina stat is selected by this action. Non-selected Toons are ignored.
Slowly advances on the Toon with the lowest stamina stat up until a certain distance; followed Toons informed of her position through dynamic ocean ambience.
Permanent status effect applied when Tyyde is a certain distance from her target. Twisted’s speed is increased to be equal to the target Toon. Twisted will always remain a given distance from the target Toon. Two new behaviors are adopted:
A. Anti-stillness: Tyyde will lunge at the Tidally Locked Toon if they are stationary for 5 seconds, believing them to be lost in thought. This attack can be dodged.
B. Advance: If the Tidally Locked Toon is extracting, Twisted will slowly advance to their position and injure them; getting off the machine resets Twisted to default distance.
Tyyde is locked into her Advance behavior and approaches the Tidally Locked Toon regardless of their activity. Contact made every 12.5 seconds while outside the elevator.
“GUH. ha—HAAAH. Hah.”
“Uhh… why is Shrimpo out of breath when I was the one doing all the machines?!”
“He was being chased the whoooole time.”
“So uhm, Connie! Were you also being chased?”
“Nah. I was watching someone that was though!”
“I—huff, huff. THIS IS WHY I HATE YOUR BROTHER LESS!!!”
“Oh? OHHOHOHO! CHOOSE YOUR NEXT WORDS CAREFULLY.”
“I HATE YOUR FACE!! IT’S JUST AS AWFUL AS BADSTRO’S FLOOR!!!!!!”
“Wow! I think he just created a new tier of hatred!”
