Life Hacks/Mods Guide/Adjust Attributes/Physical Attributes

Strength

Raw brute strength. This influences the speed with witch one of the character's muscles can contract, and the load they can push against. Increases in strength above 130 will lower flexibility on a 1 to 1 rate due to muscle binding to a minimum of 30 unless the mod is used to artificially boost flexibility as well.

Flexibility

Range of motion in each joint. Flexibility above 120 will increase ease of injuring one's shoulders unless strength stat is 130 or higher. Flexibility above 150 will increase ease of injuring one's hips unless strength is 90 or higher. Flexibility above 180 will increase ease of injuring knees, elbows, and fingers unless strength is 120 or higher.

Stamina

The level of exertion the character can reach without getting tired.

Bacterial resistance

Resistance to bacterial infection. At 200, it is impossible to become ill due to bacterial infection.

Viral resistance

Resistance to viral infection. At 200, it is impossible to become ill due to viral infection.

Biological poison resistance

Resistance to poison from plants or animals. At 200, the character is unaffected by any form of plant or animal poison.

Venom resistance

Resistance to venom injected by venomous animals. At 200, the only adverse affects felt by the character is the pain from the puncture of the poison injection.

Environmental toxin resistance

Resistance to non-biological poisons (such as lead, mercury, or asbestos.) At 200, the character is completely unaffected by environmental toxin exposure.

Ionizing radiation resistance

Resistance to ionizing free-radical causing radiation. At 200, the character's DNA cannot be corrupted by ionizing radiation and the only way they can be damaged by ionizing radiation is if it is intense enough to heat up their body and burn them.

Eye-sight

Influences the saturation of rods and cones in the back of the retina, causing lines and colors to become more distinct. Altering this trait does not add or remove structural abnormalities with the lens or shape of the eye, those must be adjusted under "traits." Trait must be at 150 or higher to enable the ultra-vison and infra-vision traits.

Hearing

Influences the proliferation of cilia in the cochlea, enabling the character to hear a greater range of high and low pitch sounds and to pick up fainter sounds. The average male human who's hearing has not been damaged by exposure to loud artificial noises has a score of 70 in this attribute, and the average female who's hearing has not been damaged has a score of 60. This attribute does not affect physical abnormalities aside from that of the cilia proliferation, so any abnormalities or blockadges in the ear drum or middle ear must be adjusted under "traits."

Taste

Influences the ability to taste and identify sweet, salty, sour, bitter, or umami flavors, and increases one's ability to integrate smell with these five primary flavors. This trait must be at 150 or higher in order to enable the super taster trait.

Smell

Influences the sensitivity of one's sense of smell. The average male human has a score of about 30 in this trait, and the average female human has a score of 40. This trait must be at 100 or higher in order to enable one to track things by their scent.

Touch

Influences one's ability to detect heat, cold, pain, pressure, and vibrations as they reach one's skin. The face, hands, tongue, and erogenous zones of the genitals have a far more sensitive sense of touch than other parts of the body.

Male Fertility

(Attribute only available for lifies with male reproductive organs.)

The fertility stat for males affects the viability (life-span) and motility (swimming speed) of sperm, and the rate of spermatogenisis in the testicles. The average human male fertility is 80, and this produces approximately 200 million sperm per ejaculation that can travel the 30 cm (12 inches) from the cervix to the ampula of the falopian tubes in about 20 minutes, and will survive for 2-4 days in the hospitable environment of the uterus, or 6 hours in the less hospitable environment of the vagina. This trait must be at 120 or higher in order to enable the egg seeking trait, and 150 to enable the spermicide resistance trait. A male with a score of 5-30 in this attribute cannot impregnate a female through sexual intercourse, but can impregnate through invitro fertilization.

Note: this attribute does not affect other features that may get in the way of the transmission of sperm, such as a vasectomy or the inability to produce sperm due to pre-pubescence. So, if a 6 year old has a fertility score of 200, he will still be unable to produce sperm unless the "precocious puberty" trait is also activated.

Female Fertility

(Attribute only available for lifies with female reproductive organs)

The fertility stat for females determines the % of eggs witch are capable of producing viable offspring (having not had their DNA corrupted by free radicals) and the hospitality of the uterus to zygote implantation. The average 15-21 year old female, at the prime of her reproductive years, has a score of 70 in this trait, having a high miscarriage rate in the first trimester (usually presenting as a heavy period and not alerting her to the fact that a zygote or early stage fetus was washed out with that blood.) This score decreases by 1 per year after this until age 30, and then 2 per year until age 40, then 5 per year until it hits a minimum of 20 or menopause sets in. At 120 and above, this trait will naturally resist the effects of hormonal birth control. Birth control resistance also becomes a viable trait at 120 witch will further increase the ineffectiveness of both hormonal birth control and IUDs.

Note: This attribute does not affect features such as a hysterectomy or inability to ovulate due to pre-pubescence. For instance, a 6 year old can have a fertility of 200, but she will still be unable to get pregnant unless the "precocious puberty" trait is also activated.
