Fixation


Fixation occurs during predatory patrol events when the pursuer elects
to continue after the pursued even though they are making it more difficult
to do so.

Fixation builds over time but will only take effect if the target is captured.
As a target you can avoid fixation by either by abandoning the chase or letting
them go when they try and dash past you.

If instead the target is captured the pursuer will be affected by fixation
for some time afterwards, longer the higher the level of fixation. While
affected by fixation in this way they will lose RPXP during any in person
RP where the target of their fixation is not present and also will have a
harder time paying attention to other things going on. They can terminate
this effect early if they murder the target of their fixation, but this will
also cause a life force debuff for several weeks afterwards. Fixated characters
can always use an ability granted by a lower level of fixation instead.

Level One) Lasts for three hours, the fixated character can place a single
body compulsion on the target with no opportunity for them to resist it with
bodycompel (target) (imprint) which will last for 5 hours for each level of
fixation.

Level Two) Lasts for nine hours, the fixated character can mindhack the target
for free.

Level Three) Lasts for one day, the fixated character can alter the target's
appearance in a way that sanctuary would usually prevent, e.g. changing hair
color, giving a tattoo etc.

Level Four) Lasts for two days, the fixated character can brand the target
even if they are otherwise protected. This brand will last for one week or
the duration of the fixation, whichever is longer.

Level Five) Lasts for three days, the fixated character can enthrall the target.
This lasts for one week or the duration of the fixation, whichever is longer.

Level Six) Lasts for five days, the fixated character can enrapture the target.
This lasts for one week or the duration of the fixation, whichever is longer.

Level Seven) Lasts for seven days, the target only has limited sanctuary protection
from the fixated character.

Level Eight) Lasts for nine days, the fixated character can use any two of the
previous level abilities on the target.

Level Nine) Lasts for twelve days, the fixated character can use any three of the
previous level abilities on the target.

Level Ten) Lasts for thirty days, the target has no sanctuary protection against
the fixated character.
