 <h2>story </h2>
 <p>Abbey is Lise's favorite traveling bard, so she keeps him perpetually on the Butterfly's Dance payroll. He's a master of the lyre, flute, and bells, though he has a wide arsenal of string and brass proficiencies to supply his evening performances, which span from ballads of the First Age to reenactments of the Night of the Nocturne to flambebe limericks. He never removes his mask. He even sleeps in it. He plays it off like a quirk, but he has never been seen without it. That fact plus his distance from his homeland spur light rumors, but they can only be taken as seriously as people view him. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>Surprisingly, most of his acts are performed off the cuff, and, in lieu of serious preparation, he spends much of his day napping, snacking while reading, or improvising music. He stays well-versed in current events and pop culture, so he identifies guests of renown at once and loves to listen and learn what they have to say. In general, though, he's always up for a literary discussion or political debate, so don't be afraid to disturb him when he's nose-deep in tomes. <br></p>
 <br>
 <h2>description </h2>
 <p>He's a chubby dove gray dragon with an incredibly thick coat that only grows thicker during winter months. Most of his body is covered in platinum-colored fur that lightens as it reaches his tail and legs. A skink-like striped pattern runs from the sides of his neck, all the way down his tail. His fins, which extend like horns from behind his ears and his feet are dark. His wings, mane, and tuft at the end of his tail are smokey gray and flecked with black like hawk feathers. His face is always covered in a white mask, his eyes outlined in red. He loves to adorn himself in chains from fine metal, feathers, and fur. <br></p>

 <h2>story </h2>
 <p>He's an evil genius, with a startling IQ and repertoire of spells, which he has mastered through decades of playing with magic. Evil is a deep part of who he is, and it marks every part of his life, from taking evil showers in the morning to taking evil slumber at night. He was meant to be a Saturday morning cartoon villain, but his wife <a href="/char/Fifi">Fifi</a> and newborn son softened his heart. He still pursues evil, but it's a gentler form. He works with one of the more stable criminal organizations in town. His wife Fifi is fully supportive, and her fame as a celebrity has been instrumental in pulling off some of his jobs, especially earlier on in his career when he was less fettered. His wife makes enough money off of brand deals for them both to retire, but evil is a passion job for him. <br></p>
 <br>
 <h2>description </h2>
 <p>He has unique features to say the least, with a squared forehead, complete lack of eyebrows, sloping orbital bones, pronounced nostrils. He usually wears his black hair shaved, but sometimes he grows it out long on the top. He wears glasses but usually leaves them at home. Dramatic changes and costumes are part of his lifestyle at this point, so his family doesn't even comment anymore. <br></p>

He's opinionated and not afraid to say what's on his mind at any given time. He also loves to play devil's advocate just to mess with people. His fighting style is light and flexible with pistols and daggers as his weapons of choice are pistols and daggers. He also enjoys archery as a hobby.

He got started on sunscreen at a young age, since he sunburns like an x-ray fish. He keeps his arms and legs covered even in the summer. Athletic wear dominates his closet, dressing in an endless array of jackets and joggers with color-blocking in bold navies, reds, golds, and whites. <br></p>

 <h2>story </h2>
 <p>My Black Desert Online main! The community and gear system ruin what is one of the best tycoon and life skilling MMOs, so I didn't play it for very long. I still adore Aristen, though. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>She's an honest and direct person who won't betray her core values of loyalty, submission towards authority, and denial of the flesh. Her Spartan lifestyle borders on asceticism. She lives off the land. Though her body is shaped by extreme discipline, she isn't necessarily the wisest person. She's always falling into the "work harder, not smarter" fallacy, leading to some pretty comical blunt-force solutions for her jobs. <br></p>
 <br>
 <h2>description </h2>
 <p>Her quiet femininity contrasts with her titanic arms and powerful thighs. (I maxxed out the arm muscularity and arm thickness sliders.) Perplexingly, she's retained an hourglass figure, which she attributes to a life of wearing belts. She always presents herself with excellence, wearing a meticulously perfected coral monochromatic face of makeup to set off her pale eyes, deep auburn hair, and glassy skin. Through experience, it wears gracefully even through sweat and heat. Her wardrobe is purely functional, consisting entirely of training and ceremonial uniforms, especially those that pair well with belts and scarves. Her favorite colors to wear are orange and jade. <br></p>

 <h2>story </h2>
 <p>An unidentified egg excavated from a primordial digsite was sold to a private egg collector then quickly lost behind other more visually impressive specimens in his gallery. Years passed uneventfully until its sudden hatching. She escaped into the night and recently resurfaced in the city. Her technical owner is aware of her whereabouts but is desperately consulting his lawyer team on the best way to cede his liability for her damages or attempt to "collect" her. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>She's an enigma to everyone she meets, and it's impressive if you can get more than a one-word response out of her. Coupled with her rigid, forceful ideology and overwhelming power, she can seem like a vengeful revenant or otherworldly paragon. In reality, she's quite childlike in the rigidity of her morality and her ability to reduce complex environments and encounters into a simple symbollic understanding. She's dense as stone. It's easy to mislead her to keep yourself on her good side, but if she ever catches a whiff of duplicity, appealing to mercy won't save you. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>She wields a titan maul with inhuman strength in combat, has an absurd healing factor, and can fly for long distances. <br></p>

 <p>Calder's temper is fiery in the literal sense. He has a genius aptitude for arcane magic but a blasé disregard for its effects or proper study.

His father could only shield him from the consequences of his actions for so long, however. Outright setting fire to the university after a clash with a group of students was a crime judged by a jurisdiction higher than the board of directors. Calder, now disowned and summoned to a court heavily stacked against him, had nothing to lose. Before tucking his tail and running, he burned down the courthouse. He traveled to the Ashfall Waste, where they surely are less sensitive about petty fire fights. It turns out the Fire Flight is even less impressed by conflagration.

 <p>Both of Cass's (pronounced the same as "case") parents are originally from Mexico. She's fluent in Spanish and used to visit Mexico every year with her family before going to college, but her accent is indistinguishably American. She's on scholarship but not particularly driven in any area, so she took a business major upon recommendation by a friend of her mother. <br></p>

 <p>Her headstrong, sardonic attitude gives her a harsh edge that contrasts with the shower of feminine pastels and vibrant florals that dominate her wardrobe and bedroom. Her nightmares have always been just as vibrant, pushing violent imagery, psychotic villains, and natural disasters onto her nightly since she was a preteen. Many of them seemed real, taking place in her bedroom with realistic break-ins. She could feel needles, hornet stings, and worse the same as she could feel her fingertips pinching herself during the day. There were reoccurring figures whose faces and bodies she had grown so loathsomely familiar with, she mockingly named: Owen, Caleb, Isaac... <br></p>

 <p>And finally, one night, soon after moving into her first apartment, she met Caleb in the waking world. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>Before long, her apartment was a circus of haunts - incubi and things she had never heard of before. This attracts the attention of a full 500-pound baku (a spirit-eater that is visually indistinct from a regular tapir) and inspires him to take up permanent residence in her bedroom. Her landlord maintains a strict pet weight limit of around 10 pounds, so this stresses her out to no end, at least until he brings her the sweetest dreams she's had since she was in 5th grade. The haunts still rear their ugly heads now and then, but it's usually just her and Funwa, a cute but nosy baku. <br></p>

Some are living on doomed shards, others have been taken into captivity on other planets, etc, so there are plenty of opportunities for adventures. Chandra was called to begin a ministry to reach all 12 tribes and announce that Planet Canaan as the Promised Land. She's also given a spaceship. Van is her pilot and sword. <br></p>

 <p>Early on, her party is attacked by bandits. The Canaanite <a href="/char/Colt">Colt</a> rescues her and joins them. They have the ill-fated love thing going on. He falls in love with her, but she is not interested in breaking the command to intermarry with the enemy nations. Way later, the tribes are given the Promised Land, but Chandra was disallowed from ever setting foot in it due to her the LORD of hosts leaves her and gives her quest to another, and even <a href="/char/Colt">Colt</a> won't take her back because he had become a spiritual Israelite through faith after seeing the many miracles of the journey. <br></p>

 <p>She has the millennial RP heterochromatic eyes in the colors from Portal because I wrote Hello, Traveler in the 2000s. Other than that, she's a cute blonde girl with short hair and weird sci-fi makeup and robes. <br></p>
 <br>
 <h2>inspiration </h2>
 <p>I was working through a lot of spiritual stuff at this time, and it's most literal in the archetypal "God's Daughter" character <a href="/char/Lisbet">Lisbet</a>, who was made to be alone. She's the sole inhabitant of her shard. When rescued by Chandra's crew and settled into her cabin, a Man locked the door. He says, "Turn away from everything else but me," then waits. She spends almost the full duration of the adventure in abject loneliness without getting to see Chandra and the others while going out of her way to ignore the Man. Occasionally, she turns this against him in spiteful argument. She cools, and in weak moments asks him for help, but she only asks for small things and only receives small things, but she generally powers through alone. In the end, she sees his faithfulness and asks him to teach her how to talk to him, to better understand him, and to change her heart. Little by little, the room brightens and expands with opportunity to learn his character until the door opens out directly into Canaan where she enjoys the rest of her days, surrounded by community and fellowship in the spirit at last. <br></p>

 <h2>story </h2>
 <p>She moved to Lucrest with her family and white, fluffy cat from France when she was really little. Unfortunately, her father died not too long afterward. She doesn't know much about him or his old country of Haiti, but she visits extended family in Blois with her <a href="/char/Marie-Agnès">mom</a> every Christmas. That doesn't mean she's that great at French. In fact, to her mother's immense disappointment, she has a better grade in Spanish. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>She deeply admires her mother as a strong, loving, successful tradeswoman, so she gives back some of her time to help in her studio. Several days a week, she can be found hand-sewing fabric flowers, or serving as a fit model. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>She would rather spend every moment outside, though, forever hiking, jogging, and poking her nose into her neighbors' business. Her <a href="/char/Choupette">cat</a> is an outside cat and joins in on her adventures most of the time. Tessa's the instigator in her friend group, daring or begging to rope everyone into her wild adventures. She's all fun all the time, so she doesn't always know where the boundary is between playful teasing and outright bullying. <br></p>
 <br>
 <h2>description </h2>
 <p>She is a light-skinned black girl of Haitian-French descent with silver eyes and a short, very athletic build. Her hair is dyed with darker streaks, and styled with short, choppy hime bangs. She never leaves the house without eyeliner and loves dressing in athleisure or trying new trends. Her favorite color changes with the season, but gunmetal is a consistent love. Her ears are pierced. <br></p>

 ? ??, 2022<br>
 #?? <br>
 <br>
 Random DeviantART questionnaire because why not? <br>
 <br>
 <h2>Mayor Dia De Luna </h2>
 <br>
 Filling out <a href="https://www.deviantart.com/iciaa">Iciaa</a>'s questionnaire for Dia because I'm feeling nostalgic for these overly long questionnaires. Also, Dia isn't that detailed of a character yet. <br>
 <br>
 <b>1. What is your character's name? Do they have a nickname? </b><br>
 Diana "Dia." She may be mayor, but Lucrest is so small and Dia is so young that she had no hope of expectation of getting all the boomers to address her by her title and surname. <br>
 <br>
 <b>2. Is your character male or female? What is their sexuality? What role does it play in your story? </b><br>
 Female, straight. She isn't above manipulating guys' feelings to get what she wants. <br>
 <br>
 <b>3. How old is your character? Does their age matter to them emotionally or socially? </b><br>
 28. It's the age my old guild leader was. Seemed like a good year between young and old, inexperienced and wise to me as a high schooler. Dia is the youngest of her highly accomplished family, so she always feels like her progress to too slow or insignificant. She is also younger than the seniors and boomers and older than the kids and looks young for her age, so she never really finds a peer in Lucrest. <br>
 <br>
 <b>4. How tall is your character? Does it affect them negatively, positively, or neutrally? </b><br>
 She is pretty sure her short stature prevents her from being taken seriously in some circles. <br>
 <br>
 <b>5. What is your character's body shape? Are they physically fit? What challenges or advantages does this present? </b><br>
 She is fit but too petite for physical combat. Her magic isn't really combat-oriented either. Her henchies have to do the heavy-lifting. <br>
 <br>
 <b>6. Describe your character's facial features. What color are their eyes and hair? Be specific! </b><br>
 She has refined aristocratic features. Her Mexican heritage falls more on the Polish side than the Aztec side, so she's very fair. She has natural black hair dyed with streaks of navy and silver. Her eyes are dark brown, nearly black. <br>
 <br>
 <b>7. Do other people find your character physically attractive? Why or why not? </b><br>
 Yes. She is conventionally cute, polite, and knows how to push people's buttons. <br>
 <br>
 <b>8. What sort of clothing does your character wear? What colors are common? What does this style reflect? </b><br>
 Light, elegant colors, professional but feminine styles, propensity for sparkly or metallic fabrics like lurex or lame. <br>
 <br>
 <b>9. Does your character have any physical or mental disabilities? How does this affect your story? Is it a main point of your plot? </b><br>
 I'm not going to armchair diagnose her with anything, but she's a jerk. <br>
 <br>
 <b>10. What does your character do for money? If they are unemployed, how do they live? Does money matter to your character? </b><br>
 She owns 90% of the commercial properties in Lucrest in addition to several miscellaneous small businesses. She's pathetic by her family's standards, but she's plenty wealthy. <br>
 <br>
 <b>11. Does your character have specified family members? Describe their relationship with their family. </b><br>
 Her father is the vice president of the Confederate States of America. Her older brothers and sisters are tycoons and elite politicians. Her father treats her like the baby of the family, so he never sets the same expectations for her nor shows her the same respect. She's not particularly accomplished anyway. She has a rivalry with her siblings and takes every one-up personally. <br>
 <br>
 <b>12. What is your character's marital status? Are they involved in a relationship? How is this emotional taxation present in your story? </b><br>
 She actually does have a secret boyfriend, Koda, but he isn't really involved in the story. He's her confidant and very supportive of her behind the scenes. <br>
 <br>
 <b>13. Who are your character's closest friends? How do they know each other? How do they act around each other? </b><br>
 She doesn't really have close friends besides Koda. Even when she's chummy with someone, she privately views them cynically, either as a tool or an enemy. <br>
 <br>
 <b>14. Who are your character's minor enemies? Why do they not get along? </b><br>
 I'm fleshing out this part of the story right now. Dia bought a lengthy section of land over Abyssal Cave, which just happened to be an unincorporated community to simultaneously takeover politically as a cover. There are other figures who are trying to control the cave for their own purposes, though. Later, the National Park Service is going to get involved, too. <br>
 <br>
 <b>15. Who are your character's major enemies? How does this affect your plot? What began the animosity of their relationship? How, if at all, is it resolved? </b><br>
 Helia and her friends. Although secrecy is part of the deal with the "minor enemies," Helia is set to blow everyone's cover. Before she even set foot in the caves, Dia was suspicious the moment she realized she was related to Chuck, a Union vet. <br>
 <br>
 <b>16. How does your character speak, and what does their voice sound like? How does this reflect their personality, if at all? </b><br>
 Her voice is sweet and high-pitched like a bell. She took speech classes as a child, and it shows in her deliberate articulation. <br>
 <br>
 <b>17. Is there anything significant about your character's movement? Is it important? </b><br>
 She has perfect posture; she's good at walking silently and sneaking around; I don't know lol no. <br>
 <br>
 <b>18. Who does your character live with, or do they live alone? How does this arrangement affect your character's lifestyle? </b><br>
 This changes a lot. She's lived with Rune's older sister, her paramour, Angel's dad, and probably others in the future. Get out of her business. <br>
 <br>
 <b>19. What traits does your character value in their friends? </b><br>
 Someone intelligent, someone who gets where she comes from, someone who respects her. <br>
 <br>
 <b>20. What are your character's main pet peeves? Does this play a role in your story? </b><br>
 Being belittled, being called cute, being carded for things. It's part of her impetus for purchasing a section of the Abyssal Cave. <br>
 <br>
 <b>21. Where does your character live? Are they happy? Describe the scenery. How does this affect your story? </b><br>
 She lives in the Mayor's Mansion in Lucrest, Nickajack. It's devastatingly rural and slow compared to the capital, even after she's populated with lots of fake businesses and tourists. <br>
 <br>
 <b>22. What is your character's opinion of the society they live in? </b><br>
 She's too impatient to worry about the consequences of her actions, especially when they apply to people far beneath her, both in birth and intellect. <br>
 <br>
 <b>23. Briefly summarize your character's childhood. </b><br>
 She is much younger than her siblings, so she didn't see them much. Unlike a lot of rich kids, her parents actually raised her themselves without a nanny or boarding school. She roamed the National Archives and other legal and political centers growing up. She also had all the fancy private tutoring, social outings, and world travel expected of the daughter of an elite family. <br>
 <br>
 <b>24. What are your character's darkest secrets? </b><br>
 Hahaha...It wouldn't be murder or plague or blackmail. It'd be that the GDP of her town is falsified, and nearly all the businesses there operate at a substantial loss. <br>
 <br>
 <b>25. Has anyone close to your character died in the past? How did your character deal with this? Did it have a lasting impact? </b><br>
 Haven't thought about it. <br>
 <br>
 <b>26. What is your character's social status? Are they happy with it? </b><br>
 She's the daughter of the vice president and the mayor of a nowhere town. No, she's miserable because she could do so much better. <br>
 <br>
 <b>27. Is your character a hero, a villain, or neither? How do they see themselves, as opposed to how others see them? </b><br>
 Villain for sure. She knows it, but others wouldn't understand how hard it is for her to compete. Others think she's weird but effective. <br>
 <br>
 <b>28. Is your character conservative and disapproving of change, or liberal and willing to accept? </b><br>
 I don't think this is a very fair definition of conservative and liberal. She's a Democrat, just like her father. She doesn't necessarily carry her views out in Lucrest because she is seeking wealth and power over a career in local politics, but she's a supporter of states' rights. <br>
 <br>
 <b>29. It is said that every character has a fatal flaw. What is your character's? </b><br>
 She's impatient. She could be every bit as rich and powerful as her siblings if she put in real work, accepted that failures are inevitable, and relied on family and friends more. <br>
 <br>
 <b>30. What are your character's special talents? Are they supernatural, or normal? Can few other people do them? </b><br>
 She is the only one with the GDP wand, stolen from the magic caves. She can control the hand of the market. <br>
 <br>
 <b>31. What specific activities does your character lack skill for? What challenges does this present? </b><br>
 Keeping secrets. Competitors and worse had an eye on Lucrest before she did. <br>
 <br>
 <b>32. What are your character's major wishes in life? These are not goals, simply things they wish would happen without work. </b><br>
 Her dad would approve of her relationship with Koda. <br>
 <br>
 <b>33. When your character looks in the mirror, what do they think of themselves? Is it positive or negative? </b><br>
 She's definitely nitpicking, rearranging her hair, touching up her makeup, but she's ultimately confident in her appearance. <br>
 <br>
 <b>34. What is your character's most precious material object? What would happen if they lost it? Why is it so important? </b><br>
 Her magic wand. Unthinkable. Without it, she'd actually have to formulate her own effective economic policies, and she's never tried that before. <br>
 <br>
 <b>35. Is your character more creative, or more logical? </b><br>
 Maybe creative? <br>
 <br>
 <b>36. What are your character's small flaws? Do they cause annoyance or disdain for your character? What are your character's opinions about them? </b><br>
 I feel like all her flaws are major. <br>
 I guess she's never real, so she has trouble relating to others. Some people can tell and don't jive with her. Even those who think she's nice or supportive don't feel like friends to her. It's lonely, but she could never be that vulnerable with other people. And besides, she has Koda. <br>
 She also has maturity issues. If someone gets under her skin, she'll hold the pettiest  <br>
 <br>
 <b>37. Is your character envied? By whom? Who does your character envy? </b><br>
 Sure. The older women wish they had her figure, the younger girls wish they had her cool car and stuff, and other mayors can't find a legitimate reason for her success. She envies her siblings and every girl who has something she doesn't. <br>
 <br>
 <b>38. Does your character deceive others often? Do they attempt to deceive themselves? How and why? </b><br>
 Always. She knows just who will let her get away with stronger coersion, too. She doesn't really lie to herself, though. She knows she isn't a real politician and is afraid of being exposed someday. <br>
 <br>
 <b>39. What is your character's faith? Briefly describe their religion, if it exists. Are they polytheistic or monotheistic? Do they see God(s) as all-powerful, or helpers in the course of fate? </b><br>
 She's Episcopalian on the Sabbath but lacks a deep belief in God. <br>
 <br>
 <b>40. Describe your character's uncommon beliefs. Do they believe in fate? Karma? Multiple heavens and hells? </b><br>
 She believes she has a superior genetic background and class and consequently feels entitled to success in life. It's deeply troubling that she's almost 30 and can't find it for herself, even with wild crutches. She also believes in the opposite of soul-mates - soul-enemies and enemies at first sight. <br>
 <br>
 <b>41. Is your character well known or little known? Why? </b><br>
 She's as well-known as any random daughter of a high-ranking politician who has served in the government for 40 years. <br>
 <br>
 <b>42. Is your character more optimistic, or more pessimistic? </b><br>
 Aggressively pessimistic. So much so that she rarely relies on others or luck. <br>
 <br>
 <b>43. Does your character have a lot of hope? Are there points in your story in which they lose hope? </b><br>
 She feels like she's getting away with it. Cracks start to show over time. <br>
 <br>
 <b>44. What traits make your character unique? Do they have special abilities, or a unique facial feature? Be specific. </b><br>
 Streaked hair, though most of the cast has that. A ridiculous economics-based RPG class. I don't know; I should probably come up with a catch phrase or something. <br>
 <br>
 <b>45. Is your character moody or even? Is there a cause? What are the consequences? </b><br>
 She keeps it together most of the time, but she gets into slapfights with her predestined enemies. <br>
 <br>
 <b>46. What is your character's mental capacity? Are they brilliant, or slow to learn? </b><br>
 She's very bright and quick on her feet, but she doesn't trust herself enough to actually use her brain. <br>
 <br>
 <b>47. Does your character sport charisma to influence others? How do they use this? If not, how does it affect them? </b><br>
 Not really lol. She relies on emotional manipulation. She scopes out weaknesses in those with something that can benefit her by acting like a supportive friend or therapist. She can sniff out troubled families, victims of abuse, orphans, etc, and sink her claws in. <br>
 <br>
 <b>48. What is your character's first memory? Why? What was its impact? Was it good or bad? Describe it in detail. </b><br>
 Uhhh, I don't know. She remembers her childhood mostly as being alone in archives, reading random meeting minutes and journals; exploring legal offices like mazes; charming government workers with her quiet and studious demeanor into being allowed places other kids were banned from. <br>
 <br>
 <b>49. Are first impressions important to your character? How does your character judge by them? Does your character go out of their way to make a good first impression on others? </b><br>
 Definitely. She tries to foresee how people will fit into Lucrest. She always does her professional best to make a good impression on everyone. <br>
 <br>
 <b>50. How does your character view authorities? How do they react to taking orders? </b><br>
 She's scared sick of the ones who work with her dad, and she is cynical of anyone who could view a professional relationship with her as stepping up in the world. <br>
 <br>
 <b>51. What are your character's goals? Long term? Short term? </b><br>
 Definitely CEO business magnate over an empire. Or something. Just so long as her father's finally proud. <br>
 <br>
 <b>52. What does your character do when they need to relax? Does it work? Does it affect those around them? </b><br>
 Secret retreat with Koda. Long walks along the scenic avenues of Abyssal Cave. Push the shopkeepers around. <br>
 <br>
 <b>53. What events in your character's past have left major effects? Why and how? Are they good impacts, or bad? </b><br>
 <br>
 <b>54. What major changes has your character gone through recently? How do the people around them react to this? </b><br>
 <br>
 <b>55. What are your character's bad habits? Are they major, like smoking and drinking, or minor, like chewing their nails? </b><br>
 <br>
 <b>56. What is your character a perfectionist about? </b><br>
 <br>

 <h1>coroutines in godot engine </h1>
 september 17, 2020<br>
 #coroutines #godot #programming<br>
 <br>
 <b>Coroutines</b> are functions that, instead of running to completion, can yield until certain criteria are met. Godot Engine supports coroutines through <a href="https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_@gdscript.html#class-gdscript-method-yield"><b>yield</b> ( Object object=null, String signal="")</a>, <a href="https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_gdscriptfunctionstate.html#class-gdscriptfunctionstate-method-resume"><b>resume</b></a>, and the <a href="https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_gdscriptfunctionstate.html"><b>GDScriptFunctionState</b></a> object.<br>
 <br>
 <h2>why use a coroutine? </h2>
 <br>
 Coroutines allow for scripted game scenarios that respond dynamically to the player and the changing game world. They let you bounce between functions, step-by-step, and respond to interruptions. This means functions can be automatically called at the completion of other functions, animations, player actions, in-game events, or timers. Add in interruptions and conditionals, and you have a tool for building a responsive game world. <br>
 <br>
 <h2>stoplight example </h2>
 <br>
 As a basic example of coroutines in Godot Engine, I made a stoplight. Follow along with my code on <a href="https://gitlab.com/chimchooree/stoplight">GitLab</a>. <br>
 <br>
 In my example, the light changes every few seconds, going from green, yellow, then finally red. The light changes immediately if the Walk Button is pressed. This project demonstrates methods that can wait, resume, and be affected through player action. <br>
 <br>
 <center>
 <a target="_blank" href="/static/img/ent/stoplight_demonstration.gif">
    <img src="/static/img/ent/stoplight_demonstration.gif" alt="(gif: demonstration)" width="500" height="281.67">
 </a><br>
 </center>
 <br>
 <h2>how does it work? </h2>
 <br>
 <h3>node hierarchy </h3>
 <br><center>
 <img src="/static/img/ent/stoplight_nodehierarchy.png" alt="(image: node hierarchy - Root is a node named Main. It's children are TextureRect BG, AnimatedSprite Stoplight, Sprite WalkButton, and a Label. Stoplight's child is a Sprite. WalkButton's child is a TextureButton.)"><br>
 </center>
 <br>
 I have a TextureRect background, an AnimatedSprite stoplight, a Sprite walk button with a TextureButton, and a label for displaying a timer. Since this is a simple example, most of the code is attached to the root. It's better to have code closer to where it's being used and to watch your separation of concerns in real projects, though. <br>
 <br>
 <h3>animation</h3>
 <br>
 <center>
 <img src="/static/img/ent/stoplight_animationframes.png" alt="(image: the AnimatedSprite Stoplight has 4 animations - default (which is no light), green, red, and yellow.)"><br>
 </center><br>
 The light is changed by setting its animation to one of these options. Each is one-frame - just the stoplight with the one or none of the lights colored in. <br>
 <h3>the code </h3>
 <br>
 This project has two scripts: Main.gd, which is attached to the root node, and Label.gd, which is attached to the Label. <br>
 <br>
 <b>Main.gd</b> - code available on <a href="https://gitlab.com/chimchooree/stoplight/-/blob/master/Main.gd">GitLab</a><br>
 <center>
 <img src="/static/img/ent/stoplight_main.png" alt="(image: Main script.)"><br>
 </center>
 <br>
 <b>Label.gd</b> - code available on <a href="https://gitlab.com/chimchooree/stoplight/-/blob/master/Label.gd">GitLab</a><br>
 <center>
 <img src="/static/img/ent/stoplight_label.png" alt="(image: Label script.)"><br>
 </center>
 <br>
 <h3>how the code works </h3>
 <br>
 At <code>_ready()</code>, <code>wait()</code> is assigned to the GDScriptFunctionState <code>result</code> and is called for the first color, green. <code>_ready()</code> yields until the given function <code>wait()</code> is completed. <br>
 <br>
 The wait method yields for the given amount of seconds then sets the stoplight to the given color. <br>
 <br>
 At <code>wait()</code>'s completion, <code>_ready()</code> calls <code>wait()</code> for yellow, then red. Each is called one at a time, waiting for the color to complete before moving on. <br>
 <br>
 <h3>interrupting the stoplight </h3>
 <br>
 The Wait Button interrupts the wait times between colors. Before <code>_ready()</code> yields, it connects the <code>'pressed'</code> signal on the Wait Button. <br>
 If the Wait Button is clicked during <code>wait()</code>'s yield, the GDScriptFunctionState <code>result</code> resumes immediately, ignoring <code>wait()</code>'s yield timer. This time, <code>result</code> has a string arg <code>'interrupted on green'</code>, so it will print the result, change the stoplight's color, then print <code>'done: green'</code>. The <code>wait</code> method is complete, so <code>_ready()</code> resumes and calls <code>wait()</code> for the next color. <br>
 <br>
 <h2>applications </h2>
 <br>
 The outcomes in this example can be swapped out with anything. I use coroutines in Blessfrey's skills to manage the flow of phases from activation, different phases of effects, cooldown, and interactions with any counters. I also use it in the basic weapon attack so the character continuously swings at the rate of his attack speed until he cancels, uses a skill, or moves. It could also be used for something like cars that stop and honk when the player walks in front of them then drive off once the path is clear. <br>
 <br>
 Coroutines enable lots of practical ways to improve the flow and interactivity of your game, so just keep experimenting. <br>

Most of his body is covered in platinum-colored fur that lightens as it reaches his tail and legs. A skink-like striped pattern runs from the sides of his neck, all the way down his tail. His fins, which extend like horns from behind his ears and his feet are dark. His wings, mane, and tuft at the end of his tail are smokey gray and flecked with black like hawk feathers. His face is always covered in a white mask, his eyes outlined in red. He loves to adorn himself in chains from fine metal, feathers, and fur. <br></p>

							`<p>He has unique features to say the least, with a squared forehead, bald eyebrows, sloping orbital bones, and pronounced nostrils. He usually wears his black hair shaved but sometimes grows it out long on the top. Dramatic changes and costumes are part of his lifestyle at this point, so his family doesn't even comment anymore. <br></p>`

							<p>He's an evil genius, with a startling IQ and repertoire of spells, which he has mastered through decades of playing with magic. Evil is a deep part of who he is, and it marks every part of his life, from taking evil showers in the morning to taking evil slumber at night. He was meant to be a Saturday morning cartoon villain, but his wife <a href="char/Fifi">Fifi</a> and newborn son softened his heart. He still pursues evil, but it's a gentler form. He works with one of the more stable criminal organizations in town. His wife Fifi is fully supportive, and her fame as a celebrity has been instrumental in pulling off some of his jobs, especially earlier on in his career when he was less fettered. His wife makes enough money off of brand deals for them both to retire, but evil is a passion job for him. <br></p>

							<p>She's tall and looks mature for her age, so <a href="/char/Tessa">Tessa</a> ropes her into serving as "chaperon" to mature movies and buying M-rated games. She's also popular with boys, but her mom absolutely forbids dating until college. Her mom also polices her wardrobe but is beginning to lose ground in that argument. She'd only allow simple natural makeup, too, but Angel's never really been interested in adding to her morning routine anyway. She wears lots of sweaters and jeans, especially if she can incorporate rainbows of color. Her thick, long blond hair is her favorite feature, and she is always experimenting with different hairstyles. She also has light green eyes, slightly brighter in hue than her brother, round silver glasses, and freckles near her mouth. <br></p>

							<p>She's not as disciplined as her twin brother <a href="/char/Aries">Aries</a>, but she has more natural talent. She's been awarded two best-in-state titles for her swordsmanship, and she's steadily building a portfolio on git for her tools. She consistently brings home As despite never studying to her brother's immense envy. Her natural aptitude is always undermined by her lightheaded attitude and chronic forgetfulness, though. She always loses to peer pressure, too. She's a natural people pleaser and a friend to everyone around her. <br></p>

							<p>He's tall and lean with gentle features, pale skin, spiky blond hair, and eyes so green they are almost white. He keeps himself well-groomed, never letting his hair grow out, and maintaining a minimal but consistent skincare routine. Honestly, one of his biggest fears is aging. He got started on sunscreen at a young age, since he sunburns like an x-ray fish. He keeps his arms and legs covered even in the summer. Athletic wear dominates his closet, dressing in an endless array of jackets and joggers with color-blocking in bold navies, reds, golds, and whites. <br></p>
