Translating the game into a roleplay format, however, will put you in the shoes of the employees themselves. You'll be living in the facility, assigned the same daily tasks over and over whilst constantly under threat of abnormalities, or something worse.

Speaking of which, let's talk about what you'll actually be doing!

In-Character, each session lasts a "work day", and during that work day, you are tasked with performing "works" on abnormalities in order to generate energy. Sometimes an abnormality will breach, or something will happen which will force you to act or fight. Details on works and abnormalities will be in another section.

This is exactly as monotonous as it sounds, so there will be some changes to how the format actually pans out.

What ARE these "Works" you're describing?

Presuming you to have either opted out of reading the manual, or are otherwise unfamiliar with Lobotomy Corporation and its terms, this section is for you.

Note: If you don't know what an Abnormality or Abno is by now, they're essnetially monsters that can generate energy through human contact/interaction.

A "work" is essentially going into an abnormality's containment unit and interacting with it. Each abnormality comes with its own abilities, conditions, and work preferences, many of which you may not discover until it's too late, so it's important to exercise caution and rely on your intuition.
Works usually last 20 minutes to an hour IC (but not OOCly, though).

There are four types of works: Instinct, Insight, Attachment, and Repression.

Instinct - Satisfies the abnormality's natural urges. The most physically intimate of the work types. Direct contact, feeding, etc.

Insight - Improves the environment of the abnormality. Things like cleaning the room or supplying the abnormality with music come to mind. 

Attachment - Satisfies the social urges of the abnormality. For the most part, this involves talking to the abnormality, striking up conversations with the abnormality. 

Repression - This work suppresses the urges of the abnormality and attempts to control their needs. This often comes in the form of denying them the satisfaction of certain urges and forcing them to behave in a specific way.

Another thing to note is that the four Work Types also translate into other elements as well, such as the four Virtues and four Damage types.

ABNORMALITIES

Abnormalities are monsters originating from "the old and deep dreams of mankind". They are dangerous entities sealed away within the facility that you are tasked with interacting with for energy (to supply to the city). However, given that these are sentient (and in some cases, sapient) entities with their own motives and goals, they pose a great and serious threat of breaching containment and causing deaths across departments or even the entire facility.

Each abnormality has its own work preferences, abilities (which activate based on work results, specific works given, how high or low the agent's stat is, etc.), and Risk Level. There are five Risk Levels that an abnormality can fall under. As a rule of thumb, the higher the Risk Level of the abnormality, the higher amount of Enkephalin/energy it produces.

ZAYIN - These abnormalities are the safest. Their aggression is typically low, and deaths or breaches caused by them are rare, if ever.

TETH - TETH abnormalities, a tier above ZAYIN, are capable of harming employees at will, but are typically easy to suppress.

HE - It's common for one to kill an agent or breach frequently. Whilst still manageable, it's important to not underestimate the power of the HE class abnormality.

WAW - These abnormalities are highly dangerous and destructive. They are easily capable of wreaking havoc in the facility, and require careful planning and preparation in order to even contest the abnormality with minimal damage.

ALEPH - These abnormalities are the most dangerous abnormalities in the facility, and are the ones that require the most attention and the most planning in order to suppress. It's considered a miracle for an aleph breach to go by without massive destruction in its wake.

For further help understanding how abnormalities function, here are some examples from Abnormalities of the original game.

Note: Qliphoth Counters are the "timers" an abnormality has until it either breaches, activates its ability, or both. Not every abnormality with a counter breaches or uses its ability when it hits zero, however.

We will not be using abnormalities from the base game. Instead, we will be focus on adapting abnormalities from Wonderlab, Library of Ruina, and Limbus Company, as well as creating our own, original abnormalities.
