Welcome to The Astral Entities NFT system.
We are working hard to put together some NFTs with quality art and with embedded statistics that will be able to be used in a wide number of games. These NFTs will have some or all of the following attributes:
5 Levels of Rarity
--- Common ---
--- Uncommon ---
--- Rare ---
--- Epic ---
--- Legendary ---
7 Unique Classes
--- Warriors ---
--- Hunters ---
--- Defenders ---
--- Mages ---
--- Priests ---
--- Thieves ---
--- Tricksters ---
8 Unique Races
--- Humans ---
--- Elves ---
--- Dwarves ---
--- Gnomes ---
--- Orcs ---
--- Daemons ---
--- Shadowborne ---
--- Giants ---
NOTE Not all races will have access to all classes.
That means there will be 37 Race/Class combinations spread over 5 rarities for a total of:
185 Unique NFTs!!!
What are these NFTs exactly?
Each Astral Entities NFT has several points of interest:
- Front Side:
o The art created by our phenomenal artists.
o A border denoting rarity and foil type.
o Race/Class/Sub-Class symbols - Reverse Side:
o Class Symbol with NFT name
o 15 Attributes from Might to Luck
o 1 Size Attribute
o Up to 4 traits
Beyond those tangible facts, Astral Entities NFTs are Non-Fungible-Tokens (NFTs) on the WAX blockchain. Once minted, these NFTs cannot be changes or altered, except for being burnt (destroyed entirely.)
Within each Astral Entity is embedded several attributes (detailed below) that also cannot be altered and will forever remain the same regardless of which game the NFT is “Docked” into. At first this may seem odd, but this helps ensure a sort of “global” balance to an entire network of games, not merely maintaining balance in just a single game.
Ok, but how does that work?
How these attributes affect each game will be a function inside that game. Each game may have a completely different use for the attributes. For example:
- Game #1 -> An RPG.
o Might can play a major part in how much Melee Damage a character can deal. Or, if added to Endurance and/or Vitality, it can determine Carry Weight. - Game #2 -> Combat FPS.
o Agility and Speed can affect how fast your character can run. Dexterity can decide what guns or other weapons your character can use. Awareness may allow you to get information beyond what your avatar has line of sight to. Mental attributes may not even be used in this type of game. - Game #3 -> Tower Defense.
o Each NFT can be linked to its own special tower or ability in game and relies not at all on the attributes in any way.
The possibilities are nearly endless, and part of our long-term plan will involve a repository of code for any future developers who wish to develop a game for the HellaRad network.
This will also involve formulas on how to determine certain standard statistics in a wide variety of games. Anyone will be able to access these formulae or the code we provide. It will be truly open source and free for anyone.
Attributes, what are those?
These attributes form the basis of the Astral Entities system. Each attribute begins at a set number and is modified by what race, class, and subclass the NFT belongs to.
- Alpha Founder’s NFTs begin with 11 in each attribute.
o We refer to this as Base 11. - Alpha Premium NFTs begin with 10 in each attribute.
o We refer to this as Base 10. - Alpha Standard NFTs begin with 8 in each attribute.
o We refer to this as Base 8.
These variations help to differentiate rarities as well as inherent value for each Astral Entity. The Alpha Founder’s NFTs are 10% more powerful than Alpha Premium with basic attributes. The Alpha Standard NFTs are 20% less powerful than Alpha Premium NFTs with basic attributes.
Why are the Alpha Founder Sets and Packs more powerful?
We want to make sure that those who support us early on have a benefit to sticking their necks out. Think of this as interest on an investment that keeps on giving interest the more we create games and future sets of NFTs.
The reason it is only 1 point higher is because we wanted to give a bonus that is not overwhelming. Even Standard NFTs can beat these Founder’s NFTs in the right circumstances and with proper strategy. They are good, but they are not that good.
We have no intent of releasing any Base 11 cards in the future. We do however, reserve the right to do so if it makes sense and the community agrees with us. Each set after our Alpha set will only have two phases:
- Premium Packs -> Base 10 Cards with a limited number of packs released.
- Standard Packs -> Base 8 Cards with a much larger number of packs.
But what are the attributes, exactly?
The 15 Basic Attributes embedded in each Astral Entity are:
- Physical Attributes
o Might -> Raw Physical Strength
o Agility -> Gross Motor Skills
o Dexterity -> Fine Motor Skills
o Vitality -> Ability to Withstand Damage
o Endurance -> Ability to Resist Exhaustion - Mental Attributes
o Intellect -> Academic Ability
o Wits -> Common Sense
o Presence ->
o Charm ->
o Ego -> Mental Vitality - Sensory Attributes
o Speed -> Raw Physical Speed
o Initiative -> Reflexes
o Awareness -> Perception
o Spirit -> Metaphysical Vitality
o Luck -> Sheer Luck
Several other attributes exist on each NFT as well: - Size -> This is a numerical size with 3 being Human Sized. Each point of size is about 2 feet of height.
- Race -> is the creature’s genetic origin.
- Class -> is the creature’s general occupation.
- Sub-Class -> functions as the creature’s “level” from 1 to 5.
- Traits -> are unique aspects of a creature or race of creatures. Each NFT can have up to 4 Trait Attributes.
What’s the timeline for this project?
We are EXTREMELY early in our Roadmap so it is difficult to give solid dates, but we expect to have our Alpha Release of NFTs by Q3 2021 and our first game, Taergyn, should be out by Q2 2022, if not earlier.
