| − | The following can all be assumed IC knowledge. Nanotrasen briefs crew members on all major antagonists. All personnel employed by NT can be assumed to know at least this much about them.
| |
| | | | |
| − | =Metagaming rules still apply - asking a vampire to punch someone in the head to see if they bite or not is clearly metagaming, for instance.=

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Every changeling has a proboscis through which they drain the fluids from their victims. While a changeling's proboscis is a useful identifier, if you have seen it you are likely soon to be dead.

Their experience ranges from highly skilled professional operators to space hobos who just need a job for the weekend.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | They are immediately recognizable by their signature blood red or black hardsuits as well as their propensity for murdering everything in sight, including themselves, in pursuit of their objective. As these operatives are ruthless and commonly equipped with explosive implants, crew members are not advised to try and detain members of a nuclear strike team.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | While often equipped with a variety of heavy duty hardware, from shotguns to snipers to light machine guns, nuclear operatives are also known to occasionally infiltrate NT facilities via stealth operations.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Some wizards are also capable of transmuting their consciousness into the body of another to effectively disguising themselves among the crew. In these instances you should be on the alert for any suspicious behaviour. A disguised wizard can still generally be identified by the trail of bodies they leave behind them.

| |
| − |
| |
| − | ='''Practitioners of the Occult''' [[File:Cultist.png|32px]]=
| |
| − | While the Chaplain leads the charge in providing Nanotrasen staff with acceptable belief systems and practices, there are those who serve a darker calling.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Whether driven mad by their lust for power or via the corruption of a eldritch bluespace entity, practitioners of the occult - or "cultists" - will do anything in their power to forcibly convert non-believers; corrupting their minds with the ultimate goal of either bringing their "god" into this world, or spreading their influence further.

| − | ==The Cult of Pyr'kus [[File:Pyrkus.png|32px|ссылка=Special:FilePath/Pyrkus.png]]==
| |
| − | Followers of an ancient being of fire, cultists of Pyr'kus want little more than to see the world set ablaze in honour of their god. Unlike members of the cult of Nar'Sie, Pyr'kus cultists draw their runes in ash and fire and make heavy use of flame motifs. Chanting about their appreciation for fire and a devout love for arson may be signifiers that someone is a cultist of Pyr'kus.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==The Cult of The Reaper [[File:Scythe.png|32px|ссылка=Special:FilePath/Scythe.png]]==
| |
| − | Chiefly concerned with the slaughter of all living things aboard the station, members of The Cult of The Reaper are known for their violent and often homicidal tendencies. Whilst not particularly different in their function and organization from the Cult of Nar'Sie, cultists of The Reaper can often be recognized via their love for slathering the station walls and floors with blood.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==The Cult of Lag'Sie [[File:Timestop.gif|ссылка=Special:FilePath/Timestop.gif]]==
| |
| − | Perhaps the least understood of any of the cults, no living member of this organization has never been successfully captured or recorded. However, cultists of Lag'Sie can be recognized for their ability to cause bluespace time dilations, affecting one's perception of reality and the speed at which many actions can be performed.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Other Cults [[File:Arcanetome.png|ссылка=Special:FilePath/Arcanetome.png]]==

| − |
| |
| − | ==Shadowling Thralls [[File:Mask_civ.png|ссылка=Special:FilePath/Mask_civ.png]]==
| |
| − | Shadowling thralls are crewmembers which have been forcibly brainwashed by a shadowling, often serving as scouts and minions in the ever-growing folds of a shadowling's following. They can be recognized by their tight and drawn features, their refusal to remove gas masks or other face coverings, and their constant assault on every light source in the vicinity. Shadowling thralls usually don't speak, preferring to instead wordlessly approach their victims before stunning them and dragging them off to their masters.

| |
| − | Malfunctioning AI's can be identified by the presence of multiple unhacked electrocuted doors, your coworker being crushed in an airlock, the station cyborgs beating people to death, or the air suddenly being siphoned out of the room you're presently standing in. If the doors to your department have been suddenly bolted and you're having a hard time breathing, this is a surefire identifier that the AI is malfunctioning.

While abductors are capable of disguising themselves, their digital camouflage doesn't hold up to close scrutiny which is one of the key methods of identifying them. Though their true goals are unknown, reports indicate that they are chiefly interested on the dissection of the human body and the implantation of psuedo-organs. They are known to use a wide range of highly advanced technological equipment, their presence generally only known after their first surgical victim has been sent back to station.

| |
| − | Terror spiders can be immediately recognized by their size along with their unusual colouration. Key identifiers of terror spiders are that a spider is presently drinking your blood, eggs have been laid in your chest cavity, your workplace is suddenly covered in webs, or your arachnophobic coworker is now crying in the corner.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ='''Soul Merchant''' [[File:Devil.gif|32px]]=
| |
| − | A Devil has been sent from hell! An infernal soul merchant is an agent from hell, sent to infiltrate humanity and tempt them into damnation. Although devils cannot knowingly directly harm one another, they are typically at odds with one another, as they are all competing over the same limited resources.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Please note there are two versions of the devil game mode, standard, where there's a handful of devils with two standard objectives, and devil agents, where each devil has one objective to have more souls than another specific devil.

| − | When the Emergency Shuttle docks at Central Command.
| |
| − | If a devil has completed all objectives, they get greentext.
| |
| − | Reason for exclusion Too reliant upon roleplay for this server. Rounds tend to devolve into too much chaos, even for SS13. Still, it can be an entertaining addition to the round from time to time.
