Death, injuries & EMS

# Health states

Your character has three distinct states:

State	What it means	Visual
Healthy	Full HP, no injuries.	Normal animation.
Injured	HP below 100, one or more wounds.	Limp / clutching wound.
Downed	HP at 0, awaiting medical attention.	Lying on the ground, blood pool.

Most damage drops you into Injured first; severe trauma (gunshots, falls, vehicles) can skip straight to Downed.

# Bleeding

When you're injured, bleeding reduces your HP over time. Severity depends on the wound:

• A graze: ~1 HP per 10 seconds.
• A gunshot: ~1 HP per 4 seconds, plus a debuff to running.
• Multiple wounds: rates stack.

Stopping bleed:

• Bandage (consumable, sold at any 24/7 or pharmacy) stops minor bleeding.
• Painkillers mask pain (lets you sprint while injured) but don't heal.
• Medical kit stops major bleeding.
• EMS treatment is the only thing that fully restores you and removes wound markers.

Sleep / wait won't restore HP above 90 — the last 10 always requires medical care.

# Downed

When HP hits 0 you go down. You can:

• Cry for help — /me cries out for help, blood pooling beneath them etc. (use /me and /do).
• Call EMS — /911 medical (text dispatch) or someone else can on your behalf.
• Get up — /getup — but only after a 60-second cooldown from when you went down. Heals you to 30 HP with all wounds still active. You're still injured and bleeding.

If nobody helps and your bleed timer expires, you respawn at the nearest hospital (hospital respawn = soft death = NLR applies).

# NLR — New Life Rule

After respawning at a hospital:

• Your character does not remember what put them in the hospital. They've been "drugged with painkillers" or "lost consciousness".
• You may not return to the location of your death for 10 minutes.
• You may not engage with the people involved in that scene for 30 minutes (or until they reasonably leave the area).

NLR is a hard rule. Returning to a robbery you were just shot in to retaliate is a bannable FailRP offence.

# EMS treatment

When EMS arrives at a downed scene, the medic will:

1. Stabilise the wounds (/treat <id>).
2. Restore some HP via medical kit.
3. Decide whether to transport you to the hospital for full treatment.

A fully treated patient leaves the scene at 100 HP with all wound markers cleared. Transport is preferred for serious wounds; on-scene patches are quick fixes.

EMS bills get charged to the patient's bank account if they survive — typical $250–$1,500 depending on severity. Refusing to pay makes you a debtor and can attract LSPD interest.

# PK vs CK

	PK (Player Kill)	CK (Character Kill)
Frequency	Common — happens any time you're killed in a normal scene.	Rare — requires admin sign-off.
Outcome	Respawn at hospital. NLR applies. Character lives on.	Character is permanently dead. You roll a new one.
Inventory	Some items lootable from body; bank money intact.	Body fully searchable; bank money lost (unless will-of-character is honoured).
When it's used	Default for every fight, accident, or robbery gone wrong.	Story-driven endings, escalating conflict, mob hits with prior plot.

To request a CK:

1. The killer (or a witness) submits a CK ticket via /report or the website with context.
2. An admin reviews — has there been buildup? Was the death narratively earned?
3. Approval = the death sticks. Denial = the dead character returns as PK.

# Hospitals & respawn

Hospitals across LS:

• Pillbox Hill Medical — central LS, biggest.
• Davis Memorial — south LS.
• Mount Zonah — west LS.
• Paleto Bay Clinic — north county.
• Sandy Shores Medical — east desert.

You respawn at the nearest one to where you died. Walk out the doors when you're back on your feet.

Respawn payouts:

• The hospital charges $500 standard for an unconscious admission. Auto-debited from your bank.
• If you die with insufficient funds, the bill becomes an unpaid medical debt; recurring patient = restricted services.
