These are made mainly just for fun, I can't confirm if we're gonna use them yet (but if we are, it most likely won't be until act 3 or later) Also Billy would most likely be the only actual npc in the game, Pxnda just getting mention Billy Lore: a former spy for (insert in-universe version of asia) that fled to tiny town due to facing consequences over assassinating multiple corrupt higher class-men against government orders. he also became partially blind due to his large usage of smoke bombs. somewhere between fleeing, he met Naoki, Aka Pxnda, whom they would soon fall in love with and marry. they now works part-time selling Pxnda themed ramen and running a small dojo (they don't actually know their gender tho, since they're still blind and are too afraid to ask-) Pxnda lore: a popular Kpop idol and movie star, whose real name is naoki. met Billy while they were on tour and decided to stay in tiny town with them. (they're also aware Billy doesn't exactly know what gender they are, but finds it too funny to tell them) Billy would have 3 different states, just because I feel like it. Billy state 1: a fake shadow clone of him which would be the first one you meet. the clone would sell different kinds of ramen that all heal a base 10 HP and having extra effects based on their flavor. those effects being --Spicy Ramen: enemies have a 50% chance to catch on fire for extra damage, lasting 5 seconds (cost:30) --Sweet Ramen: add +20 to your max energy (not permanent though) (cost:30) --Healthy Ramen: gain an additional +20 HP, which will overheal if already at max HP (cost: 100) Billy state 2: Billy would stop Tony somewhere during his act, and challenge him to a duel. inciting a mini-boss fight. during his boss fight, he would use 3 moves 1--"Shadow Clone": Billy throws a smoke bomb before summoning 2 extra clones of him. when the smoke fades, Tony must pick the correct version by choosing the odd one out. picking the wrong version will cause the fake clone to transform into a log with a explosive shuriken, and damage tony 2-- monkey's draw: Billy performs multiple very quick, yet thin slashes across the area, dealing heavy damage if hit 3-- Ramiken: Billy throws multiple explosive shurkiens, before also throwing a large bowl of ramen that leaves a puddle of broth and glass shards on impact, stepping in it deals 0.5 damage per second Billy state 3: after beating Billy you'll unlock his dojo, inside you can pay them to train you on a weapon, which will make that specific weapon deal a permanent 10% more damage. training prices scale with the base damage the weapon does. training cannot stack
