Description

I had fun designing a random cool status thing! I have no clue how to impliment a real working one in a game, this is just a lil art project for fun :3
The character is one of the default ones in RPGMaker and belongs to Enterbrain co., this particular pic was edited into a happyface by Division Heaven which is a neat site with loads of free-to-use resources. And then I edited it a bit more~ His name isn't actually Ernest, he's just THE DARK LORD- the generic final boss guy. But to me he is Ernest and the character actually named Ernest is Brian instead. :<
This is meant to be a status as part of my "patron gods" system idea, though I was also thinking that regular statuses in this style could be cool. (I'd have to rethink the organization of course!)

"Patron gods" is a system of support characters. You raise and lower relationship through various actions, and can get great reward or harsh punishment. The god will promote a certain playstyle and restrict you with relevant rules- like "no health potions" or "the floor is made of lava, you lose health if you stand still", but also give you gifts for doing random stuff that interests him, for example maybe when you eat you sustain the gluttony god so he grants you attack points for every consumed item. (Double for delicious chocolate!!)
It's a neat idea (I think..) and I'll explain it better later, with illustrations and stuff~

The way the status works is this...
EXP & Level: this is your overall constant relationship value. You build on this throughout the game and achieving high levels has bigger and more permenant rewards like sidequests, rare items, adding fire enchantment to your weapon, etc. You'll also see a marked change in how your god character acts towards you, maybe even story changes.
Mood: this is your "level" for the current dungeon, representing how obedient you've been during this particular adventure. This goes up and down way faster and has immediate, more beneficial/crippling effects which vanish at the end of the session. For example piss off your guy and he could permalock every treasure chest in the place unless you restart, or subtract ten points from every stat. And if you reach 0 Mood, the god will flounce off in a huff and be unuseable until next time. Each dungeon has a specific mood limit which determines how high you can rise or fall, but you keep gaining points after you hit the top- even though these don't give you any immediate effect anymore, they'll be pumped into your EXP at an increased rate.
Rank: This is a special title you get at certain levels or by doing certain special things. They have additional effects when equipped but you can only have one! Orange stars mean the god is your friend- you can also have love or familial/mentor relationship. Bash Brothers/Slam Sisters/Rip Rivals is a special title you get if you reach level 50 with a LONG list of offences against your god but also a lot of successfully fullfilled requests- this means the two of you are constantly at each other's throats but are somehow still best buddies XD (And which version you get depends on if you and the god are the same gender. They all grant slightly different stat boosts.)
