Valkyrie's Taint Discussions
DIR By: SkyThunder

---------------------------------------------------------
Gonna have this for standard discussion of this, so there's
that.
Anyway, I'd like to add a classification-type for the Valkyrie's
Taints
HTML https://xyrinfe.miraheze.org/wiki/Valkyrie%27s_Taint,
but I
don't know what words would work.
The classifications are described as follows:
- Taints that have their effects negated if the Valkyrie is
poisoned
- Taints that do not have their effects negated if the Valkyrie
is poisoned
Looking at the "Valkyrie's Taint.txt" file we have:[spoiler]

> The classifications, as named by Lavitka Horton, are as
follows:
> - Contortion-Type Taint
> These bestow special abilites onto a Valkyrie once fully
matured that can be actively
> used.
> - Dichotomy-Type Taint
> These bestow special abilities onto a Valkyrie that can be
considered as being both
> Contortion- and Passive-Type Taints.
> - Human Taint Modifier
> These are Modifier-Type Taints that can only be applied to the
Human Taint, which can't
> have any other Modifier-Type Taints. The Human Taint has a
maximum of one Human Taint
> Modifier.
> - Modifier-Type Taint
> These alter the appearance or the duration of the Taint. They
generally do not have any
> other changes. Most Taints can have a maximum of three
Modifier-Type Taints.
> - Mutagenic-Class Taint
> The Taint can be obtained through mutation of a Standard
Taint, or through mutation of
> a specified Taint. These always have some other form of
requirement. It is possible to
> gain this Taint without mutation, however.
> - Passive-Type Taint
> These bestow special, passive abilities onto a Valkyrie once
fully matured, such as
> night-vision.
> - Sealed-Class Taint
> These Taints were impossible to attain, as the requirement(s)
had been sealed away; it
> includes the fifteen sealed elements. These stack with the
other classifications, as
> a result.
> - Syncretism-Type Taint
> These Taints are only available to Valkyrie fusions. Even
then, these Taints have very
> strict requirements to attain. The first Syncretism-Type
Taints were discovered with
> the first fusion of three Valkyries born in 2021 to Evan
O'Neill and Valkyrie Horton,
> notably. These Taints are otherwise treated similarly to
Contortion-, Dichotomy- or
> Passive-Type Taints. Because they are fusion-exclusive, their
rarities will be listed
> as [XX] instead.
> - Tomoe-Class Taint
> The Taint's recovered eye contains a few "tomoe" (if you've
seen the Sharingan from the
> "Naruto" series, then you've no doubt noticed the funny black
shapes in the eye; the
> Sharingan can have one to three tomoe). These Taints start off
with one tomoe, but can
> become stronger over time or through various events (such as
witnessing some traumatic
> events or jubilation).
> - Unbeknown-Type Taint
> These are the Taints that do not fit any of the other
classifications, mainly because
> too little about the Taints are known.

[/spoiler]Given how it's written, I'm betting Cib wrote the
stuff in that file, during her self-loathing days.
But anyway, I'm including that excerpt so that we can at least
know what names to avoid for the new classifications.

Double-posting because I came across an Artificial Taint.
Not sure how to classify that one either, so I just went and
categorized its sole entry as such, for now.

So far, both Passive and Unbeknown-Type Taints have pages,
though only the latter has pages for its respective Taints.
I should not have drank that energy drink before bedtime because
now I'm wide awake and can't sleep.
Contortion-Type Taints also has its main page now. Zzz.

Toxidrome for the first one, maybe?
And for the second one, normalcy?

Thanks, I'm going with those.
The page for the Dichotomy-Type Taints is now up, too.
Ditto for Modifier-Type Taints and Syncretism-Type Taints.
This page
HTML https://xyrinfe.miraheze.org/wiki/Valkyrie%27s_Taint
looks much
nicer now, doesn't it?
---------------------------------------------------------
Gonna need some clarity on Untainted Valkyries. Is the lack of a
Taint considered to be a Normalcy-Class or a Toxidrome-Class
Taint?
