Darkspawn

EXTRATERRESTRIAL STAFF
Darkspawn	Access: Wherever your job has access to Additional Access: Anywhere you can break or sneak into Difficulty: High Supervisors: None Duties: Consume people's will and turn into a screamy-monster-thing Guides: This is the guide Quote: ?

Darkspawn begin in a similar fashion to the shadowling gamemode, disguised as a normal crewmember with the ability to reveal their true form. If they refuse to do so within 30 minutes, the Darkspawn will be forced to reveal themselves.

After divulging, the Darkspawn get access to the abilities: Pass, Devour Will, and the Psi network. Starting with 3 lucidities, the currency of the Psi network, the Darkspawn can purchase additional abilities from the Psi network. To gain more lucidity, using the Devour Will ability on a humanoid will grant 1 point.

The win-goal of the Darkspawn is to use the Devour Will ability on 15-30 unique individuals (scaling with population), unlock all passive abilities, and use the Sacrament ability.

Abilities

Icon	Name	Description	Psi Cost	Lucidity Cost
	Devour Will	Baseline. Puts a dark bead in the user's hand that they can use on a conscious human to drain psi and lucidity. The dark bead lasts 3 seconds after being prepared, you have to hit someone before then. Successfully devouring a human's will will completely refill your psi and grant an additional lucidity, as well as knocking them out for 30 seconds. Careful! every point of damage they take means one (1) second of sleep taken away	5	Baseline ability
	Pass	Baseline. Morphs a free hand into a mass of tendrils that have many uses. Examining the tendrils will detail their effects on different intents. On help intent, clicking a tile will throw you to it for 10 psi. On disarm intent, clicking an airlock will force it open for 15 psi. On disarm intent, clicking a bolted airlock will destroy it for 30 psi, with the time it takes being reduced if you have the passive pass upgrade. On harm intent, will throw the tendrils, knocking over whoever it hits for 4 seconds and stunning them for 1 second. Hitting a Cyborg with the projectile will deal 10 damage, cut their headlamp, and stun them for 2 seconds. The tendrils themselves deal 15 damage and break lights instantly in melee.	0	Baseline ability.

The Sacrament

After devouring enough individuals, the Sacrament ability will be unlocked. Upon using the sacrament ability, the Darkspawn is trapped in a 5x5 square and a global sound starts to alert the crew. After approximately 30 seconds the Darkspawn will turn into a progenitor and the emergency shuttle will be called with a 1 minute timer that cannot be recalled.
