| [ job_image ] Ghost |
Access: You can fly through walls Additional Access: N/A Difficulty: None Supervisors: Nobody! You're finally free! Duties: Whine, complain, be dead. Guides: None! |
So you've tried to fight THE MAN and lost, eh? Never fear, you are now a ghost! You've probably already noticed you can go through walls and jump to people and shit, pretty cool huh? Well, guess what, you can't do anything else. Yeah, to be honest, the only "good" thing about being a ghost is that you can randomly become an Alien when some silly gentleman has a bad encounter with a facehugger.
The "ghost" command allows you to become a ghost, whether you are dead or alive. CAUTION! Ghosts can re-enter their body (assuming their body isn't gibs or ashes) if they ghosted after death, allowing that body to be cloned if anyone ever finds it. However, if you ghost before you die, your body will appear as "catatonic" and can't be re-entered or cloned.
Once you're a ghost, odds are you're going to stay a ghost until the end of the round. But never fear! Besides being chosen to be an alien, ghosts may also become pAIs or adamantine golems if the right mortal beings seek you out (and your game settings allow it)! If the gods are especially playful, you might even get the chance to become something else!
Dead chat is considered to be both OOC and IC, so feel free to talk about anything bitch about that shitty-ass player you hate here.
Ghosts have 6 basic commands in their HUD, if enabled:
A lesser-known command, not in the HUD, is "observe", which can be found in the ghost tab. Using it works similarly to orbit, but it will show you the perspective of the observed person, along with their HUD.
Ghosts have a few tools to observe every move of the living with maximum comfort.
Lavaland, and to a lesser degree, space, can sometimes spawn special ruins containing ghost role spawners. These objects can be clicked as a ghost to spawn as a special neutral role such as the free golems or the ashwalkers. These roles are in a grey area between antagonist and station crew; the rule of thumb is usually to not commit antagonistic acts unless threatened, except for ashwalkers, which are intended to be somewhat hostile to other lifeforms. Every role can have additional rules which are explained in bright red text upon spawning. And remember: you do not remember your past life, so using a ghost role to get revenge will lead to a ban.
