Skills

All characters in Cantr have a set of skills and states. When you character spawns, a combination of the genes of two other characters on that location, with some random variation, will determine you character's genes. These genes will stay constant for the duration of your character's lifetime. The genes are the initial values of the skills of your character, while states are all set to their healthiest values on spawning. Skills and states can change during the character's lifetime.
