The rank field is meant as a generic stand-in for the table top concept of initiative. This includes two values so that the rank can be temporarily modified by status effects or death and be restored to its original value when these effects pass.

Requires some unique rules defined here: https://peps.python.org/pep-0484/#forward-references

Implements a basic ranking system for NPCs in which a higher value places them higher in their listing.

This command might require displaying output once it finishes since it could be hard to visualize how it would affect the current list.

This change is made in preparation for sorting the encounter list after every command. This could be potentially wasteful, but would also ensure NPC ranking is always up to date.

This new change excludes empty inputs from processing allowing for some trimmed down code branching.

This code also provides a soft error message in the case the user provides some input that is visually empty, i.e. all whitespace or entirely empty, by changing the command prompt back to its longer form.

Should allow github's test runners to run properly again.
