New Antagonist Idea: Parasite
Posted: Sun Apr 12, 2015 2:15 am
A thing I'd be interested in developing if you guys are interested in playing it.
PARASITE ANTAGONIST
A parasitic lifeform that has the ability to completely hijack the bodies of others for a period of time.
THE BASICS
-Solo antag assigned to multiple players, like ling/traitor
-Spawns as a human infected with a parasite (the antag) in it.
-Standard traitor objectives; nothing really out of the ordinary
THE PARASITE
-Has the ability to leave the host body and roam the station as the parasite itself
-Parasite is like the alien larva: weak and helpless without a host.
-Parasite has Low health, no hands, and no means to attack, but can hide under objects and use vents to travel
-Slowly loses health without a host. Should be able to survive a few minutes max.
-Heals when inside a host
HIJACKING A BODY
-Parasite can hijack the body of any living carbon being, including humans, dogs, cats, monkeys, etc.
-Hijacking a body is instantaneous but obvious to anyone who sees
-Parasite has full control over the body. The host can only observe and can only speak to the parasite in a private conversation
-Parasite loses control over a body over time.
-For example, infecting a body for more than 10-15 minutes or so and they will begin to experience nasty things such as seizures, stuns, rapid hunger, brain damage, physical damage that get worse as time goes on
-Host's mind may temporarily gain back control, or host's private whispers may be blurted out by the host's body
-The parasite leaving the body will knock the host unconscious for several seconds
-A parasite may leave the host at will with no complications if the host is healthy
VULNERABILITIES
-Leaving unhealthy, damaged, or stunned hosts will stun the parasite for a few seconds after it leaves the host
-An unconscious host is also an unconscious parasite
-Will die in the host dies
-Can be force removed with brain removal surgery
-Hosts retain all memories while it was under the parasite's control
-Cannot hijack a body without a brain, or if the body is infected with another parasite
-Cannot hijack changelings
