  • During one of Daniel's endeavors long ago with his buddy Jerry, (trying to stop Daniel's evil bloodmage twin brother) Jerry suffered a massive injury which would have killed him if Daniel didn't do anything quickly. Sadly for Jerry, Daniel hadn't yet learned how to revive people from the dead. So after some quick impulsive thinking, Daniel permanently bound Jerry's soul to a walking cane. Now he carries Jerry everywhere, hoping to one day figure out a way to make it up to his friend and bring him back to the way he used to be.
  • Years of study into the spectral realm puts a lot of strain on one's body. Daniel must sleep from time to time or else he'll get incredibly tired and his movement will be slowed! If he continues to avoid sleeping he'll eventually pass out.
  • In his spectral-based pursuits, Daniel has come across many unique resources and has learned how to take advantage of some of their unique abilities. Because of this, he will have a few recipes pre-learned.
  • Being a Spectromancer puts one in front of very many spooky and scary things! Making their effect on your mental health less and less damaging. (0.9 negative aura multiplier)
  • After so many years of being rebellious towards his body's need to sleep, Daniel's practically become half immune to how spooky the darkness is! (0.5 night drain multiplier)
  • When tired enough, Daniel will begin to spew random nonsense. You'd think it'd annoy the other survivors with some groggy guy shouting "POOP FOR THE BLOOD GODS!" but oddly enough, they kind of enjoy it in some weird way... Even so to the point where it will give them a small sanity boost when near a tired Daniel.

 

PbitNMT.pngTiredness:

Spoiler
  • It will take 25 minutes for tiredness to fill from 0 to 150
  • Sleeping (passed out on the floor or in a Straw/Fur Roll) will empty tiredness from full in 2 minutes and 30 seconds
  • Sleeping in a tent will empty tiredness in 1 minute and 40 seconds
  • Sleeping in a Breezy/Puffy Roll will empty tiredness in 1 minute and 15 seconds
  • Wetness decreases the movement speed of Tiredness based on how wet Daniel is
    *Capping out at halving the speed (both up and down) at full wetness
  • If Tiredness reaches 150, Daniel will take 3 damage and pass out for 30 seconds
  • There are 3 thresholds in Daniel's tiredness (75, 100, 125)
  • Once surpassed 75 tiredness, Daniel officially becomes "tired" with a low chance that he'll get groggy every once in a while
  • Once surpassed 100 tiredness, Daniel will become groggy more than he will be able to walk around normally
  • Once surpassed 125 tiredness, Daniel will be groggy constantly
  • If Daniel's tiredness gets too high, his sanity will begin to drain
  • Starving, overheating/freezing, fighting Giants/Wargs/Worms (Treeguards not included), getting struck by lightning, and being in the ruins during the peak of the nightmare cycle will completely pause Tiredness' movement (both up and down) for a short period of time
    *When paused, Daniel cannot become groggy no matter the tiredness level (if groggy when pause starts, the grogginess has to wear off)
    *Tiredness will stay paused for up to 15 seconds after leaving "danger"
    *When paused, a visible pause symbol shows over top the meter: rOQ0fG1.png
  • Getting splashed by a waterballoon will drain tiredness by 10 points
  • Getting attacked by Grue/Charlie will drain tiredness by 30 points
  • Claiming souls will increase a penalty block on tiredness, forcing the tiredness to not go any lower than the block

  • Eating various comfort/discomfort foods will increase/decrease Daniel's tiredness levels

ASHES TO ASHES, DUSK 'TILL DAWN...

The occult was something of a family business... years of wealth accumulated through expeditions into ancient places, uncovering wealth and knowledge, power, treasures... and curses. Daniel always wanted to go with them, but his frail constitution held him back. He would stay home and read through the books and study the artifacts that his parents brought home and through the years, started practicing the dark arts. His parents were always generous; they had donated so much to their little settlement that it became the rich little town it is now... but through the years -- as if through a terrible curse -- their luck finally ran out, raiding tombs and dark places cost a lot, and the payout seemed to become less and less, these places have either been raided before or had nothing in them in the first place... they were growing desperate. As a last ditch effort, they funneled all their wealth to finding the ultimate treasure. On one of the expeditions to an ancient Aztec ruin, thought to be the entrance to El Dorado, the City of Gold, they had encountered a mural... through it, as it depicted, lied the lost city... a great find indeed... but at the cost of their lives. The cave in came suddenly, his parents had died, crushed upon the rocks, a handful of the expedition crew came back with what little they could. They came home in crude boxes containing their remains. The crew brought back with them his father's walking cane that came from an African Witch Doctor, and his mother's journal filled with information and maps to the lost city... they were all that he had left of them. These men have been loyal to his parents through the years now look to him to continue the family business... he knew he had to be strong, for his sake and his parents' legacy...

Years of studying had payed off, with expeditions he lead from the rich and perilous tombs in the Middle East, to the deep forests of Asia, he had started to make a name for himself... but he felt the spirits of his mother and father linger still... as if he himself had unfinished business that he had to take care of so that they may finally rest in peace... he knew what he had to do of course... he was just not ready... not yet...

That place holds great promise... but it's too perilous... he did not want to endanger his men, they were the only family he had left.

Researching for his next big find lead him to a remote island in the Caribbean, he had found that a Spanish galleon had once sunk around these parts and was filled with gold shipments presumably used for a great crusade... a cache in case they needed more funds to turn the tides of war. Trekking the islands, he found a small village, a perfect place to gather information... but someone else had the same idea... there he was... a man taller than him, an adventurer by the looks of it... their eyes met...

How many ghosts did you have? Cause it sounds like to me that you got 3 ghosts and capped out your tiredness. This is explained here:

Hey, everyone! Just released an update for Daniel! Sorry it took so long to get around to this... I was out of town for a week and couldn't update it with the bad internet. (I also updated the OP to contain the new information)

Here's what's new:
v2.00.01
Daniel's tiredness now moves at a fixed rate that does not change based on the time of day. (25 minutes from empty to full)
Daniel's tiredness thresholds have been increased from 60, 90, 120 to 75, 100, 125.
Updated Status Announcements compatibility with Tiredness to change announcements based on the new thresholds.
Jerry's damage no longer scales to an extra 15 damage when Daniel is insane.
Daniel no longer has a vague speed advantage over other characters on roads.
Fixed minor issue that caused Roseate Daniel's feet to show on the front-most layer of the anim.
