Lavaland and the depths of space possess a wide array of ghost playable roles, ranging from some simple farmers to trained soldiers. All roles have unique objectives, characteristics and ultimately unique goals, they all have different ways they are expected to tackle dealing with the inhabitants of lavaland and the station.

Check “spawners” under the Ghost tab to take one of these roles, if any are available. Not all of these roles will be available to play in one shift due to the random generation of space and lavaland.

Free slots for fugitive hunters and crafted golem shells also appear in this menu. Posibrains and most antag roles do not. If you want to be a space pirate but missed the roll, you'll need to find their ship and click a sleeper.

Generally indifferent to everyone else.

Keep in mind that escalation rules against ghost roles are relaxed - crew are free to attack golems for minerals, podpeople for their somatorays and so on.

These roles are almost always hostile, or at least very avoidant towards any outside faction.

These roles currently haven't been added to a category above, and probably aren't filled out yet.

Regional Director: Enjoy access to everything but the armory, use it to tour the site and provide constructive criticisms.

Test Subject: Be a victim of dubious consensuality to the advancements of science.

Hard-Mode Traitor: A traitor without any of the fancy gear, basically; a self-made traitor.

Syndicate Special Operative: Get even better gear than the Nuclear Operatives, try not to screw it up.

NovusCorp Tactical Operative: Get better gear than the special operative, showcase your veteran skills by ventilating everything that so much as looks at you funny.

The Slasher: Horror movie villain that has all sorts of spooky powers. Mostly admin gimmickery.

Floor Goblin: Sneak around under floors, steal shoes. Avoid angry mobs of shoeless people with crowbars.

Battler: A special mode-based job where everyone plays as a Battler, similar to Highlander mode.

Pod War Pilot: Another gimmick mode.

Macho Man: A superpowered wrestler meant to punish the sins of the station (and probably destroy it.)

Pathfinder: Command the exploration crew, keep them on task and productive. Work with science or mining to analyze and strip asteroids with artifacts, etc.

Mercenary: Get paid to act as a guard for your employer. Essentially a bodyguard with less company loyalty.

Death Commando: Be part of a force that doesn't officially exist; destroy the ship and make sure nothing on it survives. Make Nuclear Operatives appear reasonable by comparison.

Minor Roles Minor roles are roles that aren't enough to carry a round on their own. They generally cost little or no threat and may not be directly hostile to the crew. Minor roles are in peril of immediate validation, so some craftiness is required to survive.

Loose Catbeast STOWAWAY STAFF BlackCatbeast.png Loose Catbeast Alt. Titles: None Access: None Difficulty: Very Hard Supervisors: None Duties: Survive, Sneak into rooms Guides: This is it

You're a cat on the run! Starting out with nothing more than a bag, sandals, and a random shirt, you need to try to survive on station (main Z level, not in space) for as long as possible. The longer you survive (capping out at 5 minutes), the more dangerous the shift becomes for everyone as threat grows. You can also generate more threat by sneaking into rooms! Keep an eye on the chat log: if you get a notice that you have defiled a new room upon entering it, you just made things dangerous. Again, only main station rooms count. After 90 seconds your presence will be announced. You will periodically experience stunning from hairballs.

Tips

Find something to cover your tail as soon as possible. A fire closet is ideal because fire suits and gas masks are exactly what you need, but try to quickly spot what you can out of the arrivals shuttle and locker room. Stealing an ID will dramatically improve your chances. Try the dorms for someone braindead. Medbay lobby and bar are also good spots to check, but higher risk due to traffic. If you can't get an ID with maintenance, try smashing out lights with a toolbox. The darkness will help hide you. You can't wear any other shoes besides your starting sandals, which means your only way to deal with ZAS is Magbites at a vending machine. If you can steal a PDA that has money on it, this might be worth trying. You can't wear any gloves, so you can't hack safely. On the other hand, you get slightly increased punch damage. Tailgating into a department may seem attractive for extra room score, but remember you could easily get trapped and attract attention. Medbay is the only 'safe' department to do this because of the exit buttons. Some public access areas: main hallways, library, chapel, arrival shuttle, art supplies, primary tool storage, pod bay, locker room, dormitories, holodeck, holodeck control booth, rec room, courtroom, medbay lobby, brig lobby, cargo lobby. You can sometimes get an extra room by crawling under flaps or inside the MULE inlet (e.g.: atmos monitoring). There are also some small storage rooms with yellow-green airlocks that are public access on some maps. Soul Rambler FREAK STAFF Rambler.png Soul Rambler Alt. Titles: None Access: None Difficulty: Medium Supervisors: None Duties: Identify Antagonists, Ramble On Guides: Music

Soul Ramblers are strange migratory antagonists out to ramble the galaxy. Whether you aid the crew in dealing with other antagonists (one of which you will have to identify), or make chaos yourself, is up to you. In order to complete your investigation objective, use your necklace in-hand: you can only select from people you have heard speak in person. In order to ramble on, make sure you are off the Z-level at the end of the round. The easiest way to do this is to space yourself, since being alive doesn't matter.

Yes, the Soul Rambler is an antagonist and is valid. We don't cotton to freaks 'round here.

Shakashuri: Use this like any other instrument. It will fill nearby souls with chill wax as they hear your siren song, which heals, feeds, and pacifies them. Use this to disengage from anyone who doesn't cotton to freaks.

Frittata: A good source of Doctor's Delight, but you only get one.

Clothing Restrictions: As a rambler, you cannot wear anything that covers your torso. You are welcome to use shoes, gloves, hats, masks, etc. however.

You also have the ability to lock in a vow up to three times. Perform this like any targeted spell, activating the spell and then clicking on your target. You will get a chance to declare your vow. When the shuttle docks with the station, that soul will get the opportunity to appraise whether your vow was upheld, so choose wisely! Your vows appear as objectives on the scoreboard.

Your vow will be formatted like this:

[target], I vow [vow].

Your resulting objective will look like this:

Objective #3: Keep your vow, “[vow]”, to [target].

Plague Mouse INFECTED STAFF Plague mouse.png Plague Mouse Alt. Titles: None Access: None Difficulty: Medium Supervisors: None Duties: Infect the crew, spread diseases Guides: Guide to Virology, Virology Symptoms

Occasionally, an infestation of plague carrying rats can appear on the station. If you are selected for this role, you will spawn on the station near a vent like a normal mouse would. Unlike a normal mouse however, you will spawn carrying an incredibly dangerous and potentially life threatening disease. Your job is to try and infect the crew as much as possible. This can be achieved by nibbling people and generally being near them, which should spread your plague to anybody unfortunate enough to be lacking proper protection.

Tips

You're fairly tougher than a regular mice, having a complete resistance to atmos and 15 health compared to a mouse's 5. Avoid cats (and snakes) at all costs. These critters will kill you easily, so do not go near them. Watch out for mouse traps as well, (unsurprisingly) stepping on one of these will kill you as well. It can be difficult for crew to hit you if you hide under tables. You can crawl under them and use their protection as cover for nibbling people. Just make sure you don't stay in one place for too long. Vent crawling is your friend, use it to escape from people.
