Uplifter

The Uplifter is an Old World relic that can easily adjust the facial features of the user. The player can pay with gols.

The Uplifter is unlocked after completing the Portia Harbor development and the Uplifter plotline. The Uplifter can be found in Dr. Xu's Clinic after installation.

History
The Uplifter was created by the Xander Company prior to the events of the Age of Darkness as a gift to Madam Aurora for her twenty-fifth birthday. Madam Aurora was regarded as the most beautiful woman in the Old World, often pursued by many from across the galaxy. With the Uplifter, Madam Aurora could change her facial features at her own will. A password was necessary to use the machine.

In the current events, the Civil Corps uncovered the Uplifter in the Collapsed Wasteland and delivered it to the Research Center. The following morning, Petra informed the player of the relic and requested assistance in repairing the damaged chip in order to open the box containing the relic.

Having repaired the chip, Merlin activated the machine, and Petra read the note attached: "To the most beautiful and the most charming lady, Madam Aurora: Greetings and best wishes to you and your endless elegance. This is the newest product from the Xander Company: the Uplifter. You can adjust your face features easily and freely by the tap of your fingers. I sincerely wish you a happy twenty-fifth birthday and hope you enjoy our gift. End preface. Please enter the password."

Merlin suggested the password to be Madam Aurora's birthday. Petra remembered reading about Madam Aurora in The Last Dawn, which contained an entire section about her coming-of-age ceremony on the 15th of Summer. With that piece of information, the researchers tried "0215" and successfully activated the machine. Having such a useful machine, Merlin sent the Uplifter to Dr. Xu for examination. The following morning, the Uplifter was installed in Dr. Xu's Clinic.

Usage
The Uplifter can be used to change entire facial features: face type, skin tone, upper face, lower face, eye color, and lip color. A color wheel is provided for the color-changing features.

The following features can be adjusted per upper or lower face:
 * Upper face
 * Brow position
 * Eyebrow shape
 * Brow thickness
 * Eye size
 * Eye shape
 * Eye height
 * Eyes space
 * Lower face
 * Nose position
 * Nose size
 * Mouth size
 * Mouth height
 * Chin size
 * Chin width
 * Chin length

Cost
Each change costs gols - the more changes, the higher the cost. The maximum cost is 8300 for changing all features.
 * Standalone cost - only one change has been applied (whether face type, upper face, lower face, or color)
 * For example: only changing the eye color would cost 2100.
 * Additional cost - taking the highest standalone cost of any facial feature, all other changes will have an additional cost
 * Each facial features, such as brow position or eye size, are separate costs. Changing each feature increases the cost.

For example: $$Standalone + Additional + Additional... = Final$$

If the player were to change the face type (5000), preset skin tone and lip color (200), and eye color (100), the cost equation would be: $$5000 + 200 + 100 = 5300$$

Or if the player were to only change the upper face (brow position + eye size + eye height + eyes space), the cost equation would be: $$2200 + 200 + 200 + 200 = 2800$$
