With REPENTOGON, the vanilla HP variables can be omitted and fully replaced by our more advanced variables.

speedmodifier float An inherent offset to the speed stat the character should start with. Base this offset off of Isaac's stats.

gigabombs int The amount of giga bombs the character should start with. These do not replace normal bombs.
completionparent string Used for characters that have shared completion marks with a preexistent character, like Dark Judas and Judas. The name of the parent character should be used for this attribute
nomarks bool if it has any value other than 'false', it will hide the completion marks for the given character
achievement int or string This is now respected on modded characters. For mods, it's best to define this as the name of the achievement (for example, achievement='TaintedPeter', TaintedPeter being the name attribute of the achievement). Characters with this tag should have a second frame in their characterportraits(alt).anm2 which should be the "locked" picture for the character. In addition, all stat/item layers on the main menu will be hidden and the Unlocked By layer will be visible. See the achievements XML section for more info.
modcostume int Set this to match the "id" attribute of a costume with type="none" defined in the same mod (in costumes2.xml) to have that costume permanantly applied to the character (including during the mineshaft chase sequence). You cannot set both this and the "costume" attribute for vanilla costumes at the same time.
