Al-0

Al-0 is an NPC in Tritium Coast and a playable character in My Normal Obsession and When the Sun Dies. They resemble an orange tabby cat with green fur (as a result in a potion failure), black fingerless gloves made of leather, heavy black pants with several vials, potions, and a sheath for their karambit, black boots, and a gas mask with a red anarchy symbol on its forehead. They have bone-deep acid burns on their tail and light green eyes, which either hints at them being a Sentinel Sage, or they were just born that way. Al-0 is also CactusLeaf36's primary fursona.
Once dated by the player, Al-0 unlocks the Homebrew and Iron Lungs perks, providing a +12% effect strength and duration bonus when using Alchemy and a -33% damage reduction from chemical hazards. Dating Al-0 also causes the player to date Nova, since the two of them are already dating. Al-0's favorite weapons are the Sagittarius Cascade, TASQ Pump Action, and the Bison-50.
== Personality ==
Personality-wise, Al-0 seems to have Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADD, as they are more fidgety than most NPCs and sometimes zone out mid-conversation. They also rarely make eye contact with Frim.
If their sacrum is stared at, Al-0 will quickly get offended, turning towards Frim and backing against a wall with the fur on their tail standing on end, indicating irritation. If Frim continues, Al-0 will simply walk away, drawing their revolver.
Aside from this, Al-0 is very ambitious and is quite nerdy, having experimented with magic and blacksmithing several times. They also seem to love physical affection, mostly in the form of hugs. In Valhalla, Al-0 is more stern and tends to have anger issues. Most of Al-0's personality traits directly stem off those of Cactus, including their preference for revolvers, their choice in knives, and their height (I'm currently 5'3). This also includes their favorite weapons, the PP19-BIZON and the Remington 870/SPAS-12, stemming off Cactus' favorite weapons in video games (alongside Smith and Wesson revolvers).
== My Normal Obsession ==
In My Normal Obsession, Al-0 is a support-oriented Alchemist (unlike Artuk, who mostly deals in offense) with high proficiency with shotguns and revolvers when used as sidearms. Al-0's aim gets worse the more they fire a gun, but this effect is reduced once their firearm proficiency reaches an average of 5.5, or when Al-0 wears armor made for Gunners. However, Al-0 doesn't exactly have the best aim to begin with, so it's best to convert them to a Sorcerer, as they already have pretty decent (but not the greatest) starting Magic Power. They also deal high Sprouting damage, which can make them quite versatile.
Their first weapon from Exon, the Viridis Talon, is an exact replica of their karambit from Valhalla. It can be thrown with right-click, where it acts like a boomerang that sticks to enemies on contact. After sticking to an enemy, it inflicts both Venom and Sprouting before exploding into a cloud of toxic gas that deals AoE damage. After exploding, the Viridis Talon returns to Al-0's hand after a few seconds, with its boomerang attack taking an additional 12 seconds to recover. Its stats are as follows:
+60% harvesting speed.
Harvesting has a chance to reap 1-4 extra materials, depending on the plant harvested.
+0.2s attack speed.
Deals 26 damage per hit, inflicting an extra 12 damage as Sprouting.
+10% AoE range and +8% AoE damage.
