A holoparasite is a special ghost-like being that lives inside of its master. It can communicate with its master telepathically (and the master can communicate back), as well as emerge from and retreat back into its master at will. If the spirit tries to escape its master and moves too far away, it will automatically be moved back to them. The spirit itself is technically invincible on its own, but upon taking damage, the damage is transferred to its master. If the master dies, the spirit dies, as well.

==Types of Guardian Spirits==
==Types of Holoparasites==
When summoned, the summoner can choose between several different types of spirits. Each have their own abilities, advantages, and drawbacks.t
Before summoning, the summoner can choose a guardian's stats (from A to F), a major ability, and minor abilities using 15 points in the guardian creator's menu. Increasing a stat costs 1 point per rank, while abilities have different costs generally scaling with their practicality.
 
The guardian can be set to "Ranged" for 3 points, giving it a ranged projectile attack.
 
Attack: Increases the guardian's damage by 5 per rank, at A rank the guardian can smash walls. If the guardian is ranged, it will instead increase their projectile damage by 2.5 per rank.
 
Defense: Decreases the guardian's damage transfer by 20% per rank down to 25%.
 
Speed: Increases the guardian's attack speed.
 
Potential: Increases the power, length, or decreases the cooldown of the guardian's major ability.
 
Range: Increases the guardian's range by 2 tiles per rank. At F rank the guardian cannot move on its own and will stay "behind" its summoner.
 
The Holoparasite can select a Battle Cry that they will automatically shout on attacking. This is limited to six letters. For instance, putting in "ORA" for the battle cry will make you shout '''"ORA!!"'''
 
 
===Assassin - 4 points===
The guardian can enter stealth by switching modes while manifested, causing it to become nearly invisible, and making its next attack to do massive damage and ignore armor. However, it becomes briefly unable to recall after attacking from stealth. Cooldown is decreased by the potential stat.
 
 
===Explosive - 4 points===
The guardian has a medium power attack that may explosively teleport targets. Can turn any object, including objects too large to pick up, into a bomb by alt-clicking them, dealing explosive damage to the next person to touch it. The object will return to normal after the trap is triggered or after a delay. The guardian can also manually activate traps to create a single tile heavy explosion on the trapped item's tile. Bomb lifespan is increased by potential stat.
 
 
===Frenzy - 3 points===
The guardian passively increases its and its summoner's movement speed slightly, and it can charge at people by attacking them directly while they are within its range. It also gets an ability that allows it to teleport behind and immediately attack anyone within its range. Requires a C rank in the range stat or above.
 
 
===Gravitokinetic - 3 Points===
Attacks will apply a field of heavy gravity on the target, slowing them and making them drop held items. Can alt-click ground to manually place heavy gravity fields. Moving over twice the guardian's potential stat in tiles away from the fields will remove them.
 
 
===Healing - 4 points===
The guardian has a second mode that causes its punches to heal whatever they hit by 1.5 times the guardian's potential stat.
 
 
===Limited Healing - 3 points===
Functionally identical to healing except the guardian cannot heal its summoner.
 
 
===Hand - 5 points===
The guardian can attack an item or person directly, teleporting anything on its tile towards it and stunning any living things on the tile for 1 second. Cooldown is decreased by potential.
 


===Assassin===
===Predator - 2 points===
Does medium damage and takes full damage, but can enter stealth, causing its next attack to do massive damage and ignore armor. However, it becomes briefly unable to recall after attacking from stealth.
The guardian can track anyone down if it can find a fingerprint or blood sample. At B rank potential or above, the guardian can tell what Z-level the target is on if it's different, tracking is more proficient at higher potential as well.


===Chaos===
===Scout - 1 point===
Ignites enemies on touch and causes them to hallucinate all nearby people as the parasite. Automatically extinguishes the user if they catch on fire.
The guardian turns near invisible and incorporeal, capable of moving anywhere on the current Z-level, but it cannot interact with its environment.


===Charger===
Moves extremely fast, does medium damage on attack, and can charge at targets, damaging the first target hit and forcing them to drop any items they are holding.


===Explosive===
===Time Erasure - 6 points===
High damage resist and medium power attack that may explosively teleport targets. Can turn any object, including objects too large to pick up, into a bomb, dealing explosive damage to the next person to touch it. The object will return to normal after the trap is triggered or after a delay.
The guardian can "skip" a period of time, making it and its summoner completely invisible and invincible but causing them to be pacified for the duration, while spawning illusionary copies of them at the spot it was activated. Potential increases duration of skipped time.


===Lightning===
Attacks apply lightning chains to targets. Has a lightning chain to the user. Lightning chains shock everything near them, doing constant damage.


==== Protector ====
===(Minor) Snares - 1 point===
Causes you to teleport to it when out of range, unlike other parasites. Has two modes; Combat, where it does and takes medium damage, and Protection, where it does and takes almost no damage but moves slightly slower.
The guardian can create surveillance snares which alert it and its summoner when they are crossed.


===Ranged===
Has two modes. Ranged; which fires a constant stream of weak, armor-ignoring projectiles. Scout; Cannot attack, but can move through walls and is quite hard to see. Can lay surveillance snares, which alert it when crossed, in either mode.


===Standard===
===(Minor) Teleport Pad - 3 points===
Devastating close combat attacks and high damage resist. Can smash through weak walls.
The guardian can create a teleport pad and teleport items and people to it by alt+clicking them. Has a short delay between beginning a teleport and the teleport taking place.


===Support===
Has two modes. Combat; Medium power attacks and damage resist. Healer; Heals instead of attack, but has low damage resist and slow movement. Can deploy a bluespace beacon and warp targets to it (including you) in either mode.

A holoparasite, also known by its magic variant as a guardian spirit, is a special being that is bound to the single person that summoned it. It is summoned through either a deck of tarot cards for the magic version or a parasitic nanomachine injector for the machine version. The nanomachine injector can be purchased by traitors.

The only difference between the magic and tech versions are their summon methods and appearance. They both have access to the same abilities. This means that traitors can get an ally that Wizards are also able to get!

Overview

A holoparasite is a special ghost-like being that lives inside of its master. It can communicate with its master telepathically (and the master can communicate back), as well as emerge from and retreat back into its master at will. If the Holoparasite tries to escape its master and moves too far away, it will automatically be moved back to them. The Holoparasite itself is technically invincible on its own, but upon taking damage, the damage is transferred to its master, albeit at a lower amount. If the master dies, the spirit dies, as well. When the user dies, their body is instantly consumed and dusted by the Holoparasite's need for their life energy, preventing cloning. This means that the master and the spirit will have to watch out for each other to ensure the survival of both.

Types of Holoparasites

Before summoning, the summoner can choose a guardian's stats (from A to F), a major ability, and minor abilities using 15 points in the guardian creator's menu. Increasing a stat costs 1 point per rank, while abilities have different costs generally scaling with their practicality.

The guardian can be set to "Ranged" for 3 points, giving it a ranged projectile attack.

Attack: Increases the guardian's damage by 5 per rank, at A rank the guardian can smash walls. If the guardian is ranged, it will instead increase their projectile damage by 2.5 per rank.

Defense: Decreases the guardian's damage transfer by 20% per rank down to 25%.

Speed: Increases the guardian's attack speed.

Potential: Increases the power, length, or decreases the cooldown of the guardian's major ability.

Range: Increases the guardian's range by 2 tiles per rank. At F rank the guardian cannot move on its own and will stay "behind" its summoner.
