CLASSIFICATION GUIDELINES: IMPOSTERS

ARCHETYPE

Trickster. General Ex-Pop who have been given latex masks to imitate Reagents. A simple canard, but central to the psychological development of our Reagents; Trial subjects must learn than nothing and no one is to be trusted.


AUGMENTATIONS

Beside the masks, Tricksters are placed in environments nude. They are left to outfit themselves, acquiring clothing from corpses. They fashion small knives from whatever is at hand; often shards of glass, or pits of metal ground against stone until sharp.

To focus their utility on guile alone, patients to be developed as Tricksters have no other great physical advantage.


PSYCHOLOGY

Essentially General Experimental Population; they see their masks as an element in a children's game. Playful and sadistic, they have the remorseless cruelty of children pulling legs off of an insect.


DOCTOR'S NOTES

Use extreme caution in Trial Environments where Imposters have been inserted. In rare cases, Imposters have managed to steal clothing from Sinyala staff, taking on the appearance of scientists or security.

In environments with active Imposters, it's always a good idea to say "hello" to your colleague. If they return a "hello" without moving their lips, or appear to be giggling without smiling, it's advised to maintain a safe distance."
