HMS York

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! ANOTHER DISGRACE! I FEEL LIKE I'VE GOT A REAL STICK IN MY ARSE!" - What did she mean by this?

## HMS York

* Normal
* Retrofit

## Lore

HMS York was one of the first Ship-People to be made, after the Abyssals. The brain of a powerful mage was used to see if any of their magic would be present after synchronisation, and it worked. Though HMS York proved to be too zany to realise her full potential. A sister was made for her, HMS Exeter, who showed much more competence with their magic. As such, York mostly dealt with logistics, but her comrades found her potions to be quite useful in battle and for recreational purposes. Though none of them really try to converse with her due to her tendency to yell obscure movie quotes and her low status.

HMS York requested a retrofit from Abyssal Midway Princess as she felt that she had not been pulling her weight recently. She was assigned to be a vanguard of Vladivostok to fulfil this, which was really just busy-work to keep her happy and also let other ships leave for real work while York kept watch.

York's full armament 3 twin barrelled 8" guns, various AA guns, and 6 torpedo tubes. She is named after a city in England of the same name. She is not to be confused with HMS Duke of York.

## Appearance

York is well known for having an outfit that gets stupider the longer you look at it. Like she has two different shoes a weird cape thing and a skirt that's longer at the back. Her Retrofit makes her look like a vampire (Vamp nation reference?)

## Story

HMS York appears in two sections in Multiverse, both being fights with her. The first is after acquiring the ID Card in Vladivostok, allowing you to enter the front doors of the building. HMS York assumes you are intruders cause Khabarovsk is really bad at communicating with people idk, and yells a few references to Star Wars and Project Moon before Olivia agrees to fight her. York will run away from the fight once she runs out of MP, or can be defeated by reducing her HP to 0, which grants a special achievement. York will utter another Star Wars joke, saying that she should've taken the high ground and walk off to the dormitories, locking the gate behind her, presumably sulking in her room.

York then appears again, after the Mystic Enclave section, interrupting a conversation where Khabarovsk was about to reveal something crazy. She cracks yet another Star Wars reference due to her being on high ground this time, and engages her second battle. After her second defeat, York seems furious, but then her appearance changes. She comments that her anger "fully realised my retrofit", to which Olivia comments that the amount of times they have fought is ridiculous. York states that she doesn't want to fight anymore, and sells the player her very expensive but powerful potions, then jumps approximately zero inches away according to Katja.

## Personality

York is the kid at the corner of the lunch table eating like corn or something. She is loud, quick to jump to conclusions, makes references to nerdy media and cries when you beat her ass. Her close study into the art of potion making has left her estranged with many or her comrades, bar her sister.

## Battle

### First Encounter

we havent seen a dark carnival yet

York is an unpredictable boss to face. She has one of the largest movesets out of any enemy in the roster, making it largely a game of chance as to who the battle will favour. She has access to healing, damaging, and support abilities, some of which are better than others.

As a ship person, York is weak to Katja's Hand Cannon, so using her physical attack is generally a viable strategy here. Olivia should prioritise using Cocky Colas, Energy Drinks or her main attack to build up TP. Katrina can Disarm York, removing a lot of the danger from the fight. York is immune to burning and poison, so Burning Hands and Prison Food are redundant here.

An important thing to note is that getting York's HP to 0 is completely optional. If she runs out of MP instead, she will abort the battle and leave. The only thing the player loses out on through this is Deliriumide, EXP. and Gold.
