| Valkyrie's Taint Discussions | |
| By: SkyThunder Date: June 9, 2025, 6:37 pm | |
| --------------------------------------------------------- | |
| Gonna have this for standard discussion of this, so there's | |
| that. | |
| Anyway, I'd like to add a classification-type for the Valkyrie's | |
| Taints | |
| https://xyrinfe.miraheze.org/wiki/Valkyrie%27s_Taint, | |
| but I | |
| don't know what words would work. | |
| The classifications are described as follows: | |
| [list][li]Taints that have their effects negated if the Valkyrie | |
| is poisoned[/li][li]Taints that do not have their effects | |
| negated if the Valkyrie is poisoned[/li][/list] | |
| Looking at the "Valkyrie's Taint.txt" file we | |
| have:[spoiler][quote][tt]The classifications, as named by | |
| Lavitka Horton, are as follows: | |
| - Contortion-Type Taint | |
| These bestow special abilites onto a Valkyrie once fully | |
| matured that can be actively | |
| used. | |
| - Dichotomy-Type Taint | |
| These bestow special abilities onto a Valkyrie that can be | |
| considered as being both | |
| Contortion- and Passive-Type Taints. | |
| - Human Taint Modifier | |
| These are Modifier-Type Taints that can only be applied to | |
| the Human Taint, which can't | |
| have any other Modifier-Type Taints. The Human Taint has a | |
| maximum of one Human Taint | |
| Modifier. | |
| - Modifier-Type Taint | |
| These alter the appearance or the duration of the Taint. | |
| They generally do not have any | |
| other changes. Most Taints can have a maximum of three | |
| Modifier-Type Taints. | |
| - Mutagenic-Class Taint | |
| The Taint can be obtained through mutation of a Standard | |
| Taint, or through mutation of | |
| a specified Taint. These always have some other form of | |
| requirement. It is possible to | |
| gain this Taint without mutation, however. | |
| - Passive-Type Taint | |
| These bestow special, passive abilities onto a Valkyrie once | |
| fully matured, such as | |
| night-vision. | |
| - Sealed-Class Taint | |
| These Taints were impossible to attain, as the | |
| requirement(s) had been sealed away; it | |
| includes the fifteen sealed elements. These stack with the | |
| other classifications, as | |
| a result. | |
| - Syncretism-Type Taint | |
| These Taints are only available to Valkyrie fusions. Even | |
| then, these Taints have very | |
| strict requirements to attain. The first Syncretism-Type | |
| Taints were discovered with | |
| the first fusion of three Valkyries born in 2021 to Evan | |
| O'Neill and Valkyrie Horton, | |
| notably. These Taints are otherwise treated similarly to | |
| Contortion-, Dichotomy- or | |
| Passive-Type Taints. Because they are fusion-exclusive, | |
| their rarities will be listed | |
| as [XX] instead. | |
| - Tomoe-Class Taint | |
| The Taint's recovered eye contains a few "tomoe" (if you've | |
| seen the Sharingan from the | |
| "Naruto" series, then you've no doubt noticed the funny | |
| black shapes in the eye; the | |
| Sharingan can have one to three tomoe). These Taints start | |
| off with one tomoe, but can | |
| become stronger over time or through various events (such | |
| as witnessing some traumatic | |
| events or jubilation). | |
| - Unbeknown-Type Taint | |
| These are the Taints that do not fit any of the other | |
| classifications, mainly because | |
| too little about the Taints are | |
| known.[/tt][/quote][/spoiler]Given how it's written, I'm betting | |
| Cib wrote the stuff in that file, during her self-loathing days. | |
| But anyway, I'm including that excerpt so that we can at least | |
| know what names to avoid for the new classifications. | |

| Double-posting because I came across an Artificial Taint. | |
| Not sure how to classify that one either, so I just went and | |
| categorized its sole entry as such, for now. | |

| So far, both Passive and Unbeknown-Type Taints have pages, | |
| though only the latter has pages for its respective Taints. | |
| I should not have drank that energy drink before bedtime because | |
| now I'm wide awake and can't sleep. | |
| Contortion-Type Taints also has its main page now. Zzz. | |

| Thanks, I'm going with those. | |
| The page for the Dichotomy-Type Taints is now up, too. | |
| Ditto for Modifier-Type Taints and Syncretism-Type Taints. | |
| This page | |
| https://xyrinfe.miraheze.org/wiki/Valkyrie%27s_Taint | |
| looks much | |
| nicer now, doesn't it?[hr]Gonna need some clarity on Untainted | |
| Valkyries. Is the lack of a Taint considered to be a | |
| Normalcy-Class or a Toxidrome-Class Taint? | |
