Heather, The Mutant-- Organ Failure Edition

Adds the character 'Heather' to your game, who has a strange mutation that causes her cells to replicate out of control.

Comes with completely original art and dialogue!

This is a alternative version of an earlier mod called "The Regenerating Mutant, Heather", which can be found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=383165009

I got some feedback of that version being OP, so consider this version the 'Hard Mode'.


FEATURES & PERKS
______________________________

~Healing Factor~
Due to her mutation rapidly repairing damaged tissue, Heather regenerates health at a constant 1hp per second (that's a lot), nonstop, forever.
However, this process drains a lot of energy, so her hunger drains 1.5x faster than normal.

~500 Max Health (Starts with only 100)~
Heather's cells will continue replicating, even if she is completely healthy. This can result in huge amounts of biomass being present on her body at any given time, giving her potentially ridiculous amounts of HP , maxing out at 500, though she will only start with 100 hp, having to regenerate the rest.
This is enough health that, when at 1hp, it takes just over a full day for her to regain it all back.

~CATASTROPHIC ORGAN FAILURE~
Heather's cells never stop replicating. At certain levels of HP, this effect can become harmful:

When at 99hp or less, the mutated cells become unstable and less efficient, and hunger drains at 5 times the rate of other characters. This lasts until HP goes back up to over 100.

When at 400 HP or more, the mutation becomes physically painful to Heather, and as a result drains 10 Sanity per minute. This lasts until HP falls back below 400.

At 500 HP, the mutated cells disrupt her vital organs, causing them to catastrophically fail, and INSTANTLY KILLING Heather.

~Healing Salves and Honey Poultices Hurt~
Exactly what it says. The chemicals found in these antiseptic items are harmful to Heather's mutated biology, so they harm her instead of heal her.
Other methods of healing, such as food and... food will still recover health as normal.

~1.5x Movement Speed~
Whether it is due to her mutation or just sheer force of will, Heather moves considerably faster than most other characters. This allows her to gather resources faster, and gets her both in and out of combat with ease.

So, in short, she's outstanding at combat, due to her absurd amounts of health allowing her to tank most of anything. However, her faster hunger drain and instadeath organ failure mean you have to be a lot more careful in general survival.

Q: Will you make this for Don't Starve Together?
A: I'm working on it. Should be out soon.
The other, easier version linked up top is available for DST, if you feel so inclined.

Q: She looks like -
A: Female Titan? Yes, so I've been told. The resemblance was purely unintentional; the two just happened to both be based off of the same general design, namely a human female in dire need of an epidermis.
