Introduction
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3101378892
Source, by steph, is a modded YOMI Hustle character inspired by Carmen and her facility within the game Lobotomy Corporation. She is a snowball character who gets stronger the more damage she does.

Core Mechanics
Source has the same standard defensive options as the vanilla cast.
Threat LevelSource's Threat Level is displayed in this icon (which is called the Qliphoth Counter) in the corner of whatever side of the screen you are on. I will briefly describe what each Threat Level interval unlocks below. Zayin, 12-11: the beginning stage where you don't get anything.
Teth, 10-9: at this stage, you receive a few things, but nothing major.
He, 8-7: You receive a handful of good moves, and this is where you have good variety.
Waw, 6-4: You become a lot better, receiving buffs to most of your moves in addition to getting some powerful moves.
Aleph, 3-1: If you reach this, your opponent is pretty much dead.
Ayin, 0 (is not meant to be reachable): If you do reach this, good on you. You are something to be feared.
Threat level can be lowered naturally over time by dealing damage. The equation for this is quite complex, so I'll give a general summary but also post the code. Essentially, the higher the combo and the higher damage per hit in a high combo gives more value towards reaching the next level. Each time you hit the next Threat Level, it takes more hits and more damage to hit the next Threat Level.
This part is for the tech wizards and math nerds:
it scales based off of a value called risk level, and this is it's equation: 10+(damage/14*combo hit count), rounding down. It gives a minimum of 1 risk level each hit, with a cap of 1000. Every time you hit the next Threat Level, the required risk level to hit the next Threat Level is 40*amount of times you've decreased threat level*(13 - current threat level)/2 rounded down).
There are 2 other options to lower threat level. One, using the super Forced Decrease, and Two, using the super Hundreds of Good Deeds. These will both be discussed in their own sections, but to summarize, Forced Decrease will lower Threat Level by a set amount each use up to Threat Aleph, and Hundreds of Good Deeds will give value towards the next decrease in Threat Level until you use the super it unlocks or 160 frames have passed.
One thing to note: successfully hitting Burst will lower Threat Level by one if not lowered previously.
Meter GainSource increases her meter gain the lower the threat level she is at. Threat Zayin-Teth: Her meter gain is .8x the regular meter gain.
Threat He: Her meter gain becomes standard.
Threat Waw: Her meter gain is 1.2x the regular.
Threat Aleph: Her meter gain is 1.4x the regular.
Threat Ayin: Her meter gain is 3x the regular.
GravityInterestingly, Source's gravity is lower than most characters, sitting at 0.8x the regular gravity. In One Upon A Time, her gravity is 0.4x the regular.
Zayin-Teth Attacks
In this, you start at Threat Level 12. It takes very few hits (sometimes just one) to lower Threat Level by one at the start.
Grounded Attacks
ThrowThis is your standard throw.
Gift ~4f STARTUP0 IASA+18f ON HITHIGH BLOCK-1f ON BLOCK400 DAMAGE IN 1 HIT

Regret ~12f STARTUP29f IASA+27f ON HITGUARD BREAKHYPER ARMORHIGH BLOCK+3f ON BLOCK850 DAMAGE IN 1 HIT
A heavy overhead hit.Will drag your opponent downwards, so good for continuing combos.

An upwards swing.Can be adjusted to hit higher in the air, also sending you into the air.
Penitence ~6f STARTUP24f IASA+20f ON HITHIGH BLOCK+0f ON BLOCK700 DAMAGE IN 1 HIT
A fast forward slash.Is an incredibly good attack, as it its fairly fast with a large hitbox.
Don't use it too much in combo as it has large knockback.
Red Eyes (Up) 7Nf STARTUP24f IASA+27f ON HITNO FREE CANCELHIGH BLOCK+2f ON BLOCK800 DAMAGE IN 1 HIT
A large vertical up slash that covers a lot of range.Is an incredible anti air tool, covering from the ground to above you. Will send the opponent into the air.
Be warned, air combos require more caution as they are easier to drop.
Aerial AttacksWhile airborne, Source has access to the following ground attacks that function the same in the air as on the ground. Penitence (Vertical)
Penitence
Red Eyes (Up)
Red Eyes ~8f STARTUP24f IASA+26f ON HITNO FREE CANCELAERIAL ONLY+2f ON BLOCK800 DAMAGE IN 1 HIT
An aerial attack that slashes down.Is one of the moves usable in air combos. Takes 1 more frame of startup compared to it's upwards version.
Zayin-Teth Specials & Supers
SpecialsSource doesn't get most of her specials until later on, but the ones she has here are either good zoning tools or good mixup options.
Forsaken ~9f STARTUP22f IASA+25f ON HITNO FREE CANCELFirst hitboxMELEE HITBOXCAN'T BE PARRIED+1f ON BLOCK650 DAMAGESecond hitboxPROJECTILECAN'T BE PARRIED+0f ON BLOCK750 DAMAGE1400 DAMAGE IN 2 HITS
A fast moving projectile attack.The first hitbox is a melee hitbox, so it usually will not hit. Can clash with other melee attacks.
The projectile cannot be parried, so this is always a safe option at range.
Bless ~1f STARTUP14f IASA120 FRAME DURATION
This spawns a cross icon that on contact sends whoever hit its it in the direction of your DI wheel.Effects Source's velocity more than the opponent's velocity.
Can only have 2 set up until a later Threat Level.

Lowers Threat Level by a set amount.Lowers by 2 at this stage.
The actual lowering of Threat Level occurs before the animation ends.
Hundreds of Good Deeds REQUIRES 1 LEVELCOSTS 1 LEVEL20f IASA
A super that halts your velocity and gives access to the move One Sin.Requires the full 20 frames to take effect
Slowly increases the value to get the next Threat Level over 160 frames or until you use One Sin.
For the numbers people, the exact equation for how much risk_level you get towards the next Threat Level is this: 1* (1+current Threat Level/2) rounded down.
One Sin ~15f STARTUP26f IASA-0f ON HITNO FREE CANCELIGNORES ARMOR-1 PRORATIONREQUIRES 1 LEVELCOSTS 1 LEVELHIGH BLOCK+0f ON BLOCK1000 DAMAGE IN 1 HIT
A screen wide teleport that freezes the opponent in place, allowing for a continuation in combo. Is Cowboy's impale but much better.
Only usable after Hundreds of Good Deeds.The best way to effectively use this is bounce someone off the wall with something (Harvest works well for this), use Hundreds of Good Deeds, then use One Sin.
He
This is where you unlock the majority of your specials and get a damage buff to most of your attacks.
AttacksAll of the attacks listed here are moves whose damage has been buffed, they just have different icons and visuals.
Logging (Vertical) ~7f STARTUP27f IASA+28f ON HITHIGH BLOCK+2f ON BLOCK850 DAMAGE IN 1 HIT

Rush ~9f STARTUP29f IASA+28f ON HITIGNORES ARMORHIGH BLOCK+3f ON BLOCK950 DAMAGE IN 1 HIT
A rush attack that moves back then forwards.If you cancel Rush and use Super Jump right after, you can cover an incredible distance nearly instantly.
Harvest ~10f STARTUP27f IASA+28f ON HITHIGH BLOCK+3f ON BLOCK1550 DAMAGE IN 2 HITS
An attack that throws the opponent for the second hit.If the opponent DI's the wrong direction, it will usually throw the opponent into the air for enough to hit them with either Magic Bullet or One Sin. Otherwise, it will ground the opponent.
Gives 150 risk level towards the next Threat Level.
Magic Bullet ~11f STARTUP30 IASA+24f ON HITNO FREE CANCELPROJECTILECANNOT BE PARRIED+0f ON BLOCK850 DAMAGE IN 1 HIT
A fast projectile attack.You can choose where on the screen it comes out to a certain degree. You can also flip the attack to hit the opponent towards you.

Heaven ~14f STARTUP26f IASA+22f ON HITNO FREE CANCELPROJECTILEHIGH BLOCK+0f ON BLOCK750 DAMAGE IN 1 HIT
A ranged attack that summons projectiles out of the ground.Can only be used on the ground unless you set up a bless correctly.

A 3 hit super that shoots the opponent 3 times.This will usually end your combo unless your opponent DI's straight up.
Waw
This is where you get access to your second strongest super and 1 more special attack. Covers Threat Level 6-4.
Attacks
Frost Splinter ~8f STARTUP25f IASA+23f ON HITLOW BLOCK+2f ON BLOCK900 DAMAGE IN 1 HIT
A low long poke.Is Fragments, but it just does more damage.
Scar ~5f STARTUP20f IASA+235f ON HITIGNORES ARMORHIGH BLOCK+0f ON BLOCK1450 DAMAGE IN 2 HITS
A fast attack that is mainly used in combos.A very good way to increase progess towards next Threat Level.
Exact equation for this is current risk level + (50*amount of times you decreased Threat Level / 2) rounded down.
Will usually combo end unless opponent DI's wrong.
Specials Rush now has super armor from frames 6-14.
Bless Can now have 3 of the move on stage at once.
Despair~11f STARTUP28f IASA+20f ON HITHIGH BLOCK+2f ON BLOCK850 DAMAGE IN 1 HIT
A teleport attack.Has a large range, so it's very good for catching the opponent off guard.
Supers Funeral now has a 2 level follow up attack that you can keep doing until you run out of level.
Hatred ~28f STARTUP120f IASA+52f ON HITNO FREE CANCELHYPER ARMORHITS OTGIGNORES ARMORREQUIRES 5 LEVELSCONSUMES 5 LEVELSHIGH/LOW BLOCK+Nf ON BLOCK7500-2000 DAMAGE IN 26 HITS
Source's strongest single attack. Fires a massive laser across the entire screen. Will almost always kill the opponent when used, due to it's high damage. The damage listed is an approximation, as the math for the damage is too much for me factoring in combo damage reduction.
If you are comboing the opponent, only actually takes 3 frames to activate due to applying 25 frames of hitlag to the opponent and not you.
The attack can only be stopped if you lose hyper armor, but you are given 2 instances of hyper armor so that is highly unlikely.
Aleph Attacks
Here, nearly all of your moves receive a buff, along with getting access to a teleport. Forced Decrease now gives 500 health per use at this stage, making Ayin much harder to reach. You also get access to Source's strongest super.
MovementSource has standard movement with one additional option.
Teleport ~4f STARTUP13f IASANO FREE CANCEL
A very fast teleport.You become invulnerable frame 4, so you can avoid most attacks with this.
This does not use air options, which will be fixed in a later update.
You get significantly more horizontal distance during the teleport at Threat Ayin.
AttacksNearly all of Source's grounded attacks are buffed at this stage, sometimes receiving better frame data, more damage, and sometimes a bigger hit box.
Mimicry (Spear) ~8f STARTUP25f IASA+24f ON HITLOW BLOCK+3f ON BLOCK1000 DAMAGE IN 1 HIT
A low, long reaching single hit.Is Frost Splinter but buffed.Has a longer hitbox.
Lamp ~9f STARTUP29f IASA+27f ON HITGUARD BREAKHYPER ARMORHITS OTGHIGH BLOCK+3f ON BLOCK1100 DAMAGE IN 1 HIT
A heavy overhead hit. Is Regret, but also hits grounded opponents and is buffed.
Will drag your opponent downwards, so good for continuing combos.
Has hyper armor from frames 6-14 and can wall slam opponents.
Mimicry (Vertical) ~7f STARTUP27f IASA+29f ON HITHIGH BLOCK+3zf ON BLOCK1000 DAMAGE IN 1 HIT
An upwards swing.Is Logging (Vertical) but buffed.

A fast forward slash.Is Logging but buffed.
Is an incredibly good attack, as it its fairly fast with a large hitbox.

SpecialsMost of your specials are buffed at this stage.
Forsaken (Capo) ~11f STARTUP26f IASA+29f ON HITNO FREE CANCELFirst hitboxMELEE HITBOXCAN'T BE PARRIED+2f ON BLOCK850 DAMAGESecond hitboxPROJECTILECAN'T BE PARRIED+0f ON BLOCK+25f ON HIT550*4 DAMAGE850-3050 DAMAGE IN 5 HITS
A massive forward up slash that spawns 4 musical notes.The successor to Forsaken.
The damage range comes from how many projectiles you hit, and does not factor in combo damage redution.
The projectiles slowly home in on the opponent after use. You should not expect all the projectiles to hit on start up.
The projectiles cannot be parried, so this is always a safe option at range.
You cannot spawn more than 4 projectiles on stage with this attack.
[CENSORED] (Harvest) ~10f STARTUP27f IASA+28f ON HITHIGH BLOCK+3f ON BLOCK1800 DAMAGE IN 2 HITS
An attack that throws the opponent for the second hit.Is Harvest but has more damage.
If your opponent DI's wrong, it will usually throw the opponent into the air for enough to hit them with either Magic Bullet or One Sin. Otherwise, it will ground the opponent.
Gives 150 risk level towards the next Threat Level.
Accelerando ~11f STARTUP27f IASA+27f ON HITHIGH BLOCK+2f ON BLOCK1000 DAMAGE IN 1 HIT
A teleport attack with one big hitbox for it's entire length instead of one at the teleport point.The successor to Despair.
Has a large range, so it's very good for catching the opponent off guard. Is much safer than it's predecessor, Despair, as you can hit them without being right next to them.
Cannot clash with other attacks, so you beat attacks at the same frame.
[CENSORED] (Heaven) ~14f STARTUP26f IASA+24f ON HITNO FREE CANCELPROJECTILEHIGH BLOCK+0f ON BLOCK950 DAMAGE IN 1 HIT

THE SWITCH THAT BEGINS THE TRUE TORMENT.Switches you to the Twilight stance, which is frankly incredibly busted. You will find out why in the next section.
If used in a combo, gives incredible frame advantage. I'm not entirely sure why either.
Sets your gravity to 0.4 on use.
Once Upon A Time (Twilight) Attacks
If you make it to this, you win. It is incredibly hard to lose in this state due to how various things.
Source's gravity is set to 0.4 in this state. Nearly none of their attacks use air options, and I will note which ones do.

Ayin
At this point in time, Ayin is unfinished, and according to the dev, will remain unfinished. There are no new attacks added here, but I will detail the various changes that do occur if you do manage to reach this.
Upon reaching this Threat Level (0), you will get a custom song along with 3 times the super level gain. Teleport also gets a massive distance buff, mainly effecting it horizontally. That is all that occurs here, so this is mainly just a power move to get to this point.
