► Show Spoiler
Changelings are the perfect killing machines. Regeneration, Assassination, and one million different disguises.
What can you give them to make them not feel so samey every round?
Full. Immersion.
You've heard of having changelings abandoning their disguise to become brutal killing machines.
But have you ever heard of changelings abandoning their lethal abilities in exchange for being able to deeply intertwine themselves within a role?
"Parasitic Revival"
Upon killing another player, the ling will do the same choke-grip they would do to absorb someone. But instead of absorbing them, the ling sinks in and revives them. Turning simply into a guiding presence in the back of their mind. Able to force on new directives to their host at will. When the host dies again, the ling explodes out of them, as if they used the last resort ability.
It'll be much easier to fake and replace a head of staff member, if you aren't replacing them at all. But are instead brainwashing them from within their own mind, undetectably!!! (Full Credit to shadowflame909)
Hello! I saw this idea on the idea subforum and nearly instantly fell in love with it. I don’t have the coding know how to get something like this into a working form, but the idea is simply too cool to pass up. I understand the policy behind code bounties and how a merge isn’t guaranteed, but having the idea put into code would still be really sweet.
I’m negotiable on the price but I’m thinking 10 dollars would be a fair starting bounty.

so basically turning someone else into an antag and becoming their chaplain sword
will have to think about how to flesh this out to make it more interesting tbh but it wouldnt be particularly difficult to turn someone into a pseudo holoparasite by having them be stuck in someones contents

Essentally that. Vaguely reminds me of Goonling hivemind now that I'm thinking about it. That or the arm creature from Paracyte. I'm open to any ideas on what ya think may work.

I would not mind you going full parasyte + goon ling arm-blade on this, but this is not my bounty.
