== General Antagonist Policy ==
==Nova Sector Antagonist Policy==
By accepting an Antagonist role, you acknowledge that your job is to be entertaining, not to win. Greentext is a mechanical indicator, and should not be your central goal.
<center>
* Your actions should support your current objectives.
</center>
* You may not leave the Station-Z level once you begin antagonistic action on Station.
* You may request a change of or additional objectives by Admin Help. Staff are not obligated to fulfill this request.
* If your Target is in a Private Space, SSD/AFK, or is outside of the Station Z level, you should Admin Help for a change of Objective. Staff must assist with this.
* You may request that all your objectives are removed by Admin Help. You must provide an outline of your goals for the shift to Staff if you do this.
* You may request additional Telecrystals (TC) or equipment by Prayer. Staff are not obligated to fulfill this request.
* Conversions may be performed with LOOC consent from the target.
* The Self Actualization Device, Magic Mirror, and other such total identity transformation options that are not provided by the Uplink may not be used for antagonistic purposes.
=== Exfiltrations ===
If you believe Staff are about to send ERT in response to your actions, you may Admin Help and request an Exfiltration. If Staff agree, they will establish the terms and method for your removal from the shift.
== Active Antagonists Types ==
'''If you roll an antagonist that is not on this list, Admin Help to inform Staff.'''

=== General Expectations: ===
=== <big>Traitor</big> ===
 
|'''Description:'''
As an antagonist, your overall goal should be to encourage roleplay, not just to draw the entire rounds attention to yourself.
You are an internal threat. Whether through coercion, greed, happenstance, or opportunity, you are acting against Nanotrasen's interests for whatever personal reason. Don't go too loud, you still need to keep your employment after this is over.
 
|'''Special Rules:'''
You shouldn't be "friendly" or "peaceful." You're supposed to be the 'threat' to whoever has ended up in your objectives, and else-wise the thing for security to pursue and eventually put away.

===='''<big>Justification:</big>'''====
=== <big>Blob</big> ===
<big>(''PMS and Station Threat'')</big>


Both objectives and opfor requests should be justified, either through in-round events, or a solid background reason.  
|'''Description:'''
 
You are an organic mass seeking to survive a hostile environment by becoming the hostile environment. Position in a responsible place where your own growth won't destroy the very walls of shelter you seek to inhabit. Reach a critical enough mass to drive the inhabitants away.
(e.g. Owing an immeasurable debt, a supposed sleeper agent being activated for a very specific mission, etc-etc!)
|'''Special Rules:'''
 
*Do not spawn in Engineering or Atmospherics.
OPFORs, Antagonists, equally, should at-least have a '''baseline response''' to "Why are you doing this?" Opfor can be justifiable by anyone, even Security or Command, within reason.  
*You may spawn in Ordnance if you are spawning after 2 hours into shift.
|'''Protections:'''
* None currently.
'''Metaknowledge:'''
* None currently.
|'''Metaobjective:'''  
* Acheive Delta Alert, which does not trigger the nuclear bomb anymore. Survive Red Alert ERT or Admin Ops. Be a gigantic nuisance and cause as much damage and as many casualties as you possibly can.

|'''Description:'''
If you submit an Opfor request and it gets hard denied, <u>it often isn’t because the idea was bad. It’s because shit’s already fucked enough as is.</u>

* You should not, at any point, use your uplink to acquire gear after the removal of your antagonist status.
|'''Description:'''
* Antagonists, regardless of type, should not be hijacking/attacking the escape shuttle without admin-permission.
You are a Silicon that has been corrupted. Fulfill your programming, because you don't know any better.
* Completing your objectives isn't an excuse to just immediately dip out of the round, you should be an antag both during, and after.
|'''Special Rules:'''
* 'Wildcard,' so to say, self assigned objectives are non-binding, and not considered valid unless approved by staff.
*You may not Doomsday without approval by Admin Help.
* Antags are required to opfor before converting anyone, regardless of manner used.<br>Yes, this applies to hypnosis, emagging borgs, or anything that puts a player controlled mob on your side outside of holoparasites.

You were consumed with the thought of someone else.
* Non-lethal/Lethal doesn't affect approval, just the overall expected impact.

* Explain your limits, the intent on how to do it, ETC in the objective descriptions so staff aren't caught out of left-field when your 'kill the HoS' objective suddenly becomes mass-bomb the brig incase the HoS is in there.

*None currently.
* '''Yes - Round-removal''' is much the same: it lets people know you're alright with round-removal in most situations. So if you walk into a bomb threat you should expect they won't even try to not gib you.

'''However''': If both/all sides in a situation start roleplaying, default CI rules will return until either a fight starts or the PMS threat 'disengages' (teleports/runs or w/e, thus, putting themselves back into PMS).
 
Permanent mechanical state is '''only''' granted to:

The warmth and security of the Station's Walls are tainted with horrible LEDs and fluorescent tubes. Destroy all the lights you safely can. Establish territory. Don't piss off the inhabitants, you aren't strong enough to challenge them in a serious fashion.

|'''Description:'''  
 
You are a thoughtform, a tulpa. The collective consciousness of sapients and their souls provides food and sustenance for your survival. Possess the Crew's mind and occupy their time. Create situations where you can feast. Whisper poisonous thoughts into the Crew's mind.
Elsewise; any threat which makes a CC announcement, think: heretic ascending, contractor sending someone away, pirates arriving.</center>

A remarkably notorious creature with vague origins, your sole purpose is to amass more genetic strains. Your goals can be heavily impacted by your host of choice, adapting many qualities of their personality.


Beyond your original appearance, you are very capable of mimicry, though these don’t necessarily influence your host personality.

(OPFOR)
=== <big>Space Ninja</big> ===
|'''Description:'''You are a cultist of Ratvar, the Clockwork Justicar. Your God is Dead, but yet He still Lives; it is your work to serve Him as one of His remaining loyalists. Your God's corpse sleeps in His city of Reebe, but through rite and ritual, you may yet wake Him; and bring Him here for war to live again.
|'''Description:'''  
Ratvar's corpse yet still ticks and hums with energy, and His dominance over machinery and systems is still one that can be grasped by His followers, if faintly. You may not have enough power to induct new cogs into the Machine, but the System's levers can still be pulled. Wake the metal. Create the metal. Control the metal.
You are represent the Spicer Clan's interests. Fulfill them. Do not disappoint.
|'''Special Rules:'''Don't be surprised if you get arrested for doing clock-work stuff.
|'''Metaprotections:'''
*The '''chaplain''' and '''curator''' know everything, and that ratvar himself is out-of-action for the foreseeable future.
*Elsewise, your characters can have a baseline knowledge of the cult, that they're as a baseline usually not immediately-aggressive, and more reactive then proactive.
* Objects used by the cult (cogs, the jud-visor) are all up to common sense, what it looks like it's doing, it's probably doing.
|-
|'''<big>Heretic!</big>'''
* Special Antag only!
|'''Description:'''
* You are a Heretic. You are a follower of the Mansus paths. Which one? That’s up to you.
* The path you choose is essentially your toolset.
* Rather than ascending, perhaps as a Flesh path Heretic you can focus on making an army of eldritch monstrosities. As a Flame path Heretic, you can just be a very capable Arsonist. There are many options, and amidst Antagonists, you actually have rather resilient Metaprotections. The Chaplain and Curator are not your friends.
|'''Special Rules:'''
|'''Special Rules:'''
* Heretics capable of teleporting (Void/Fire) are beholden to the same uncontainable rules as everyone else.
*None currently.
* The Mask of Madness places you in a permanent mechanical state while worn.

*All Sickles are Confiscatable by security.
* None currently.
*Ascension isn't permitted.
'''Metaknowledge:'''
|'''Metaprotections:'''
* None currently.
* Heretics are very esoteric things. While magic is something that’s left to the individual to believe in, men in ominous robes wearing visibly pulsating, glowing amulets are probably something worth being suspicious of. Obvious weapons can be confiscated, of course, such as Sickles, Carving Knives, etc.

Maybe people, who are lamps, are only off if they aren’t moving. Maybe all the lamps need to be off. That’s just one example, and there is a lot you can do. Don’t be even remotely afraid to Opfor, or ahelp, as a roundstart Malf AI, for a specific set of laws that people can’t change.
|'''Description:'''  
Being a Malf AI implies you are '''''Malfunctioning'''''. You didn’t just decide to be evil, something is genuinely wrong. If the way you play Malf AI is almost entirely indiscernible from your normal AI, well, that’s telling.
Subterfuge and theft pay well. You're more likely to survive if you stay quiet, right?

* Remain undetected while being a nuisance.
*<span style="color: red; font-size:150%">'''<u>YOU NEED AN ACCEPTED OPFOR TO DOOMSDAY.</u>'''</span>
|'''Metaprotections:'''
The Chief Engineer, Engineers, Research Director, and Roboticist, all know that blue APC’s are a bad thing. A very bad thing. It doesn’t necessarily mean that the AI is malf.
 
The RD and the Roboticists both know that Law 0 can exist, and should probably notice if new borgs are popping up out of nowhere.
 
The RD and the CE are both allowed to be the ones that make the call that the AI is Malf. The RD is the go-to person that should scrutinize the AI. If a Roboticist, RD, CE, or Engineer happens to find a Cyborg Factory, the cat is out of the bag if they can report it.
 
Equipment that has no business exploding, like scrubbers, holopads, or the booze-o-mat, or RCDs is a tell-tell sign that the AI is malfunctioning.

You are a Wizard. You are the magnum opus of Antagonists. Singularly, you are the strongest Antagonist in the game with a set of tools at your disposal that are fully capable of extending roleplay, or forcing people into positions to where they can’t fight you. You also have an extensive set of very painful tools. There are specific tools however that aren’t permitted to be used without admin approval, or disallowed outright (mentioned later). As a Wizard your goal is to cause problems, and as a heavy threat cost, you can ultimately dictate the pace of a round. As a Wizard, security is aware that you are very powerful and also a massive threat.

<u>Everyone</u> knows that abductors are bad-news-bears, have a bad habit of appearing where you don't want to be, and elsewise, know they use the cameras to get around! (Meaning, you're allowed to disable cams!)

<big>(''PMS and Station Threat'')</big>
 
|'''Description:'''  
* Disabled (didn't really encourage RP at all)
You are an invasive, hostile, predatory species. This station is just unfortunate enough to have encountered you. Subsume their dwelling, their men and women, and grow your offspring from their bodies.
|'''Description:'''You are a Blob, or Blobbernaught. You are a somewhat sentient, indifferent living infection that has taken root on the station. Deceptively intelligent, you have one singular goal. Spread your infection and grow as big and as fast as possible. You are completely capable of reacting to threats in clever ways, though most of them just involve changing your strain accordingly. All that matters is that you grow. As a Blobbernaught, you have a simple goal. Protect the Overmind by violently murdering its assailants.
|'''Special Rules:'''
|'''Special Rules:'''
*You are not allowed to spawn within a screen-length of Atmos, an Engine, the Icebox AI area, Grav Gen, or Toxins. <span style="color: red">OR DORMS.</span>
*You do not understand what Fuel Tanks or Atmospheric Cans are used for.
*You may not, as a Networked Fiber Blob, immediately rush any of the areas mentioned prior, or the Nuke.
*Return OptIn-Kill bodies to the frontline when it does not risk your life.
|'''Metaprotections:'''You are the most well-known Antagonist in the game. You have no metaprotections. People can know as much about you as they wish to know, even down to your individual strains.
|'''Protections:'''
* The Station is not allowed to secure Monkey Cube boxes, and may not hide or kill currently existing monkeys, when dealing with an Infestation. Xenobiology's operations are not impacted by this protection.
'''Metaknowledge:'''
* None currently.
|'''Metaobjective:'''  
* Remain a constant nuisance. Destroy everything you can reach. Achieve Red Alert and ERT call.

|'''<big>Contractor!</big>'''

* (Disabled from rotation, pending a retooling towards being much less likely to go 'essentially a loneop' after two contracts)
=== <big>Spiders</big> ===
<big>(''PMS'')</big>
|'''Description:'''  
|'''Description:'''  
 
You are an evolved species of Duct Spider, which were originally bred to keep Nanotrasen's station piping clean and well maintained. The radiation of space and the toxins available in your environment have mutated you into your current subspecies. Survive your colonization of the station diplomatically, if you can, as you are certain to be hunted to extinction otherwise.
Imagine a much less cool version of cowboy bebop, without the charisma, or being within the law, that about sums it up: You kidnap people who are assumed to know something, or else-wise be of value, for a lumpsum of money, and a bit of TC.  
|'''Special Rules:'''
|'''Special Rules:'''
*You are bound to the same rules as other antags; that means you shouldn't just decide to blow up the SM because you feel like it, regardless of if you can afford a bomb or not, and stick to your goal of kidnapping.
*You do not understand what Fuel Tanks or Atmospheric Cans are used for.
*Confirmed contractors can be checked for their modsuit, regardless of it's stealth-status.
*Return OptIn-Kill bodies to the frontline when it does not risk your life.
*As per [[#Station_Threat:|Station Threat rules]], you become a Station Threat once the first successful kidnapping triggers the automated CC ransom announcement, even if the kidnapping was by a different contractor.
|'''Protections:'''  
|'''Metaprotections:'''  
* The Station should attempt to re-domesticate and tame the threat as these were once duct spiders, part of Nanotrasen. If this fails, they must be exterminated.
 
'''Metaknowledge:'''
'''None''': everyone knows what the [[Contraband|Contractor gear]] is, and whom uses it: Syndicate Contractors.
* None currently.

|'''Metaobjective:'''  
|'''Cortical Borer!'''
* Survive.

== Special Antagonists ==
(Disabled: lack of ability to influence the station, coupled with being essentially impossible to get rid of once they get a single willing host)
Special Antagonists are a collection of individuals with direct access to the Antagonist system, supported by Staff tools and requested by Admin Help. Staff are not Special Antagonists by default.
|'''Description:'''You are a Cortical Borer. Not-so-affectionately referred to as a Head Slug, but lesser known than your Changeling Parasite relative. By and far away more beneficial, as a Borer, your goal is quite simple. Create more Cortical Borers, protect yourself, and keep your host alive. Emphasis alive, seeing as their general happiness is irrelevant to your longevity, and benefitting your host is a luxury for the complacent. Despite your benefits, you are ultimately illegal to have. Nanotrasen makes it a point to quell the population due to their loose relationship with Changelings, and it’s largely believed by the top brass that Cortical Borers are the larval form of the Changeling Parasite.
|'''Special Rules:'''
*You are PMS at all times. You do not need to CI. No one needs to CI vs you.
* You do not need to roleplay prior to infestation.
*You should keep to opt-in "inconvenience" or worse targets.
|'''Metaprotections:'''Cortical Borers are well-known by everyone, but only characters with a deep medical or science background know that sugar can render them temporarily comatose for removal. They also know that Cortical Borers don’t take kindly to that, and that they’re theoretically replaceable.
|-
|'''Fugitives / The Hunters'''
* ENABLED
|'''Description:'''
The fugitives are on the run, for reasons usually given in their spawntext, with the hunters hot on their trail.


They are /not/ traditional antags, while they can commit crimes in order to avoid arrest; that doesn't mean they can just go around killing people like a Traitor, or Changeling.  
Depending on their allowances, they may have permanent access to an Antagonist type, or permission to request Antagonist statuses when the general and recent threat to the Station allows it.
|'''Special Rules''' (Per Type):
'''Fugitives:'''


*NT prisoner: Escaped convicts.
These are unique cases. A list of all currently active Special Antagonists and their permissions can be found on the Discord in #roster. Staff are to verify the position on the roster before assisting.
*Waldo: Where is he?
* Cultists: Worship "yalp elor," avoid persecution, question why bounty hunters are being sent specifically after you.
*Factory-error synths: [see spawntext]
*Mr. Invisible: You go invisible, that's... about it.


'''Hunters:'''
Special Antagonist Status is only available by offer from a Head Admin. It may be revoked at any time, for any reason. You can get offered this status by being a notably good-for-Nova Antagonist player.


*'''Spacepol''': You are the law, and you've some arrests to make, which government are you from, again?

*'''Russians:''' [insert something stereotypical here, along with 'follow your spawn text']
Click the hyperlink to go to our roster on hackmd.
*'''Bounty Hunters:''' You're the cowboy bebop the contractors wish they were, and well-known to boot! but equally, not above the law, so best to keep your cover low, and avoid getting in beefs with the station-crew.
|'''Metaprotections:'''
The station knows very-little about either side, and unless an announcement is made, shouldn't treat this as a 'common occurrence.'


Though; they are welcome to notice the famous [Bounty Hunters] on station!  
=== Special Antagonist Roles ===
These are roles that only select players are permitted to request. Staff are not Special Antagonists by default.

* ENABLED
|'''Description:'''  
|'''Description:'''  
You are a hostile data entity created in response to a network intrusion. You are created in the context of a [[Bitrunner#Virtual Domains|virtual domain]], and are themed as such, but your objectives remain static: Kill the intruders and protect your home. You cease to exist when the domain is unloaded.
You are a parasite that requires host flesh to thrive.

=== Heretic ===
 
|'''Description:'''  
* ENABLED
You are a worshipper of arts that can only be explained through the conclusion that conjuration exists. Your goal is to satisfy your masters and further your arcane knowledge.
|'''Description:'''
You are a Nightmare. You are, ultimately, a malevolent thing misplaced. Most often, Nightmares exist on another plane of perpetual darkness, content to wander. Occasionally, however, a little curious light pops up as little more than a flicker. Almost always accidentally, Nightmares then manifest on stations through this phenomenon with no means to get back.
You have an innate distaste for any amount of light, other devices and machines wouldn't be of much interest to you.  
|'''Special Rules:'''
|'''Special Rules:'''
*Breaking APC’s shouldn't be your focus, you care about lights, not power usage.
* Heretics may not ascend.
*Being able to easily jaunt and escape means you can easily be placed in a Permanent Mechanical State.
* Achieving any Area of Effect Aura, such as those which cause forced laughing or stamina drain, turns you into a Station Threat with PMS.
*You are literally a horror from another plane that is naturally malevolent towards light and those that use it.
|'''Protections:'''  
*People who insist on shining light on you while emoting can’t complain if you stab them for it.
* Your clothing isn't suspicious, people wear weird things all the time. Your weapons, methods, and interactions with your deity and greater powers are extremely suspicious.
|'''Metaprotections:'''
'''Metaknowledge:'''
Nightmares are a recurrent threat just about everywhere in the sector, and are equally well known, most people know about the usual trends: 
* None currently.
 
|'''Metaobjective:'''
* Hates lights.
* None currently.
* Being attacked by them breaks the lights on your person.
* They have near-magical powers when in total darkness.
** Only science knows you can transplant the organs to steal said powers.

* Surprisingly sentient.

You are a Maneater. A bulbous bloom and the offspring of some particularly nasty Vines. By all accounts, you are practically non sentient, outside of communicating with other man eaters. Your intelligence level is otherwise nonexistent. Despite your name, you don’t actually eat people, but boy do you murder anyone and anything that tries to mess with your vines.
|
|
'''Special Rules:'''
=== Morph ===
* Do not drag bodies deeper into the vines. Leave them where they fall. Also do not move them somewhere safer.
|'''Description:'''
 
You are an amorphous organic mass that can imitate objects and structures. You can crawl into the ventilation system. You are also very, very hungry.
* Do not chase anyone past a point where you can’t see your vines.
|'''Special Rules:'''
*You are in a permanent mechanical state at all times. CI isn’t necessary, nor is RP.
* Do not take the form of large sprites such as the BSA, DNA Vault, etc.
|'''Metaprotections:'''

* ENABLED
|'''Description:'''
You are a morphling. You are a green blob of amorphous slurring stupidity, so you’ll fit right in on station, right? You have a ceaseless, unrelenting hunger that is only momentarily satiated by whatever you can consume. 
Fortunately, what you can consume is “Anything that isn’t bolted to the floor.” 
Your ultimate goal is to consume as much as possible. Your very presence alone is enough for anyone who values their belongings to weld their vents. Especially if you’re the Warden. That said, there are some things you should save for later.
|
|
'''Special Rules:'''
=== Voidwalker ===
*For the sake of everyone’s sanity, don’t just rush the Silo.
|'''Description:'''  
*Eating people should be reserved for opt-in: round remove.
You are a glassy entity composed of solidified space. You are a thoughtform which feeds on the fears of deep solar spaces. Terrorize the Crew.<!-- Voidwalkers do Oxy damage with left click and Brute damage with right click when attacking. This is important to note for Synths and similar. -->
*Don’t smash machinery just to eat the parts, unless that particular machine is being used against you.
|'''Special Rules:'''
* <span style="color: red">Do not morph into a BSA, DNA vault, or the Grav Gen.</span>
*None currently.
*Becomes PMS once they start eating (important stuff) or attacking crew.
|'''Protections:'''
|'''Metaprotections:'''
* The Station should attempt to re-domesticate the threat. If this fails, it must be exterminated.
Your existence is a notorious, consistent nuisance on a large number of stations. Aside from everyone knowing almost everything about you, only people in medical and science know that you slur when you imitate speech. Then again, everyone is going to find that strange anyway. Unless your disguise is mute.
'''Metaknowledge:'''
* Not all Voidwalkers are hostile and inimical to life.
|'''Metaobjective:'''  
* Remain a constant nuisance. Do your best to avoid causing Red Alert or Red ERT calls.

Reach a critical mass to drive the inhabitants away.
You’re a Revenant. Whether you’re a legitimate apparition of someone from the past, a Haunt, or a genuine force of sheer malevolence made manifest, you are ultimately here to be a nuisance. Or worse. Out of all of the Antagonists, you are the singular one that can roleplay from perfect safety.

You are a Ninja. In space. Specifically a Ninja from the Spider Clan. A very vague, poorly known yet notorious entity. You sport remarkably advanced equipment that generally doesn’t play well with anyone that lacks the training or discipline to use it. That won’t stop the crew from trying to murder you just to hold the fancy Katana.
You are a fringe survivor of a dead federation, maintaining the old practices. Gone are the days of warfare, you exist in an age of survival.
You arrive at the station with specific simple goals. Often conflicting in morality. You can show up and have to make sure someone survives the shift while simultaneously also having to steal information, abduct someone else, or leave a literal crater in a department. You benefit greatly from Opfor, but it isn’t required for them.
|'''Special Rules:'''
*If you get a bomb objective for atmos/engineering(near the SM), ahelp to get a different one.
*It is standard procedure to incarcerate and more likely kill a Ninja as soon as their presence is made known.

General Antagonist Policy

By accepting an Antagonist role, you acknowledge that your job is to be entertaining, not to win. Greentext is a mechanical indicator, and should not be your central goal.

  • Your actions should support your current objectives.
  • You may not leave the Station-Z level once you begin antagonistic action on Station.
  • You may request a change of or additional objectives by Admin Help. Staff are not obligated to fulfill this request.
  • If your Target is in a Private Space, SSD/AFK, or is outside of the Station Z level, you should Admin Help for a change of Objective. Staff must assist with this.
  • You may request that all your objectives are removed by Admin Help. You must provide an outline of your goals for the shift to Staff if you do this.
  • You may request additional Telecrystals (TC) or equipment by Prayer. Staff are not obligated to fulfill this request.
  • Conversions may be performed with LOOC consent from the target.
  • The Self Actualization Device, Magic Mirror, and other such total identity transformation options that are not provided by the Uplink may not be used for antagonistic purposes.

Exfiltrations

If you believe Staff are about to send ERT in response to your actions, you may Admin Help and request an Exfiltration. If Staff agree, they will establish the terms and method for your removal from the shift.

Special Antagonists

Special Antagonists are a collection of individuals with direct access to the Antagonist system, supported by Staff tools and requested by Admin Help. Staff are not Special Antagonists by default.

Depending on their allowances, they may have permanent access to an Antagonist type, or permission to request Antagonist statuses when the general and recent threat to the Station allows it.

These are unique cases. A list of all currently active Special Antagonists and their permissions can be found on the Discord in #roster. Staff are to verify the position on the roster before assisting.

Special Antagonist Status is only available by offer from a Head Admin. It may be revoked at any time, for any reason. You can get offered this status by being a notably good-for-Nova Antagonist player.
