Ape strong together, Ape also beat eachother up

About The Pull Request

It's Simian time

Adds more lore to Simians, accessible in-game however this is the text if you so wish

Simians have always been looked down upon. Stolen from Ooga-9 as throwaway test subjects,
these simians have been fighting for their freedom as long as Nanotrasen records go,
through a secret organization called Jungle Fever. \

Once the Monkey Cube was created however, Nanotrasen no longer saw use for using sentient creatures,
and granted Simians basic rights. \

This was a great happenstance for the orgnization, which now has a massive following and
eventually started getting bankrolled from large simian-owned companies such as Bananotrasen.
Their organization collectivizes itself through what they call the Alpha, the one wielding the largest stick.

Scaling with how many simians are in a round, there's a chance one of the Simians spawns with the Big Stick. This marks them as Leader of the Simians- if shit starts going wrong for Simian kind, they are expected to pick it up and lead the rest of the gang.

If their leadership is not liked, any Simian can beat them up and rob them of the stick at any time. Corruption? Beat the shit out of your boss and take his place. Think of it like a much smaller scale Streets of Rogue.

Other Additions

• Adds a Chimp encryption key to Cargo in case Simians are conspiring in their secret language.
• Lets Monkeys & Simians be augmented, all limbs except surplus prosthetic legs works fine, and I don't think that last bit is enough justification to keep the majorly bugged out behaviour that is augmenting/prosthetic replacements on simians.
• Removes Outsider as a valid Simian quirk, it removes your only spoken language and breaks the game.

Why It's Good For The Game

Monkey.

Monkey Organization that has much room for in-fighting or banding together as our Monkey AI loves to already do on people sounds really funny.

Simians also isn't really a played species due to it having 15% less health, 50% less punch damage, 30% more stamina damage, not being able to speak common without their translator, and on top of that doesn't even get the benefits monkeys do such as ventcrawling.

Testing

Messed around with it on local, this is more balance stuff so it'll be fun to watch it be played in-game.

Changelog

fix: Simians can no longer take the Outsider quirk.
