[[File:Primary Tool Storage.png|thumb|300px|The [[Primary Tool Storage]]. The Assistants natural environment.]]
Gimmick is a title spanning any job that spawns in random maint. They are usually equivalent to assistants, starting with maint access and no real job. All you have is your title and the gear you spawn with. All maint jobs have tools in their starting rooms that give them what they need to escape if they're locked in in some way
Assistants are the most versatile and expendable workers on the station. They are recommended to new-comers who have read or are reading [[New Players|''the tutorial'']] and are still getting their space legs.


Assistants begin their shifts around the station but usually congregate in [[Primary Tool Storage]], where they can acquire some basic tools such as screwdrivers and wrenches. If you are charismatic or lucky, the [[Head of Personnel]] can add more access to your [[Identification Card]]. With more access and perhaps a custom job title, perhaps you can find a purpose on the station at last.
'''Bare minimum requirements:''' try to do what your assigned gimmick entails.


Sometimes you are a God among men and sometimes you are dead within twelve seconds of round start. It all depends on how you set up and the luck of the station.
'''HELP! THERE'S NO WAY OUT OF MY SPAWN ROOM'''
All gimmick titles spawn with the necessary tools to [[Illicit Access|Break Out]] of their spawns if need be.
==Barber==
The Barber is a job that spawns in the barbershop. You have the tools to do [[surgery]] and other minor medical procedures, and the tools necessary to style hair. You spawn with a straight razor, which works as a normal razor, a scalpel, and a decent weapon due to its high blood loss, and a Hand Mirror, which allows you to style your own hair when you use it, and helps with self surgery. The barber shop also comes equipped with Hair dye, barber's aid, and a spray tan bottle which sprays enough spray tan to instantly overdose, giving any race short of an ipc a mop of hair to work with


'''Bare minimum requirements:''' Don't be a total shitler.

* '''Barber maint shop''': Your office is filled with some barber's tools, medical tools and a chainsaw. but the chainsaw might be taken to someone already.
* '''FACEBUCKS cartridge''': Can use 'Send to all' feature in the PDA messenger, and has 5 minutes cooldown time. It's the least way to advertise your barber shop.

==Actually Assisting People==
* '''Supervisor and Department''': the Head of Personnel, and Service.
If you are an assistant and [[Beyond the impossible|wish to actually assist people]], you can try asking over the radio if anyone needs help with anything. This may or may not work. You can also approach people in person, which has a higher chance of success. Live out your dreams of being a 22-year-old coffee bitch intern IN SPACE!
* '''Theatre Access''': You are a colleague of clowns and mimes too. Why not?
* '''a choice of:'''
** '''Tele-Gloves''': After a cooldown, these gloves can let you use your empty hand on anything within three tiles, whether for remote stealing or force choking. They're loud and very visible, though
** '''Bottomless Top Hat''': This hat can store a limited number of mobs and items. You can even hide in it yourself! Simply hit something with the hat to try to shove it in
** '''Invisibility Cloak''': A cape that allows you to go invisible for a limited time, but recharges in darkness.
* '''FACEBUCKS cartridge''': Can use 'Send to all' feature in the PDA messenger, and has 5 minutes cooldown time. It's the least way to advertise your magic show.
==Psychiatrist==
A man with a doctorate in a field that is absolutely useless on the station, he has a room with two cells, one of which may or may not contain a potentially dangerous inmate. Try to at least bring the moodlet of everyone around you higher.


Particularly helpful assistants may want to have a more permanent job on the station. The [[Head of Personnel|HoP]] can promote you to a position if you ask nicely and convince them that you're not a [[traitor]] (this is particularly useful if you are, in fact, a traitor). It helps if that job is urgent, like doctors when the crew is dying or engineers when the station is a hole in space. However, the HoP does not ''have'' to, and you will just have to live with that. Unless, of course, you're the [[traitor]].
* '''Supervisor and Department''': the Chief Medical Officer, and Medical.
 
* '''Medbay Access''': Of course, you are a member of the medical department, thus you're allowed to access the medbay. Most of the time you are just an ad-hoc doctor with some more personal space if the chemist hasn't already taken it over as a drug factory.
==Duties? What Duties?==
* '''Emotional Support Animal Delivery Beacon''': Brings a cat. Hang around with your cat and let people pet it. Be careful of your cat since the cat is quite vulnerable from attacks.
Assistants are usually the most aware civilians on the station due to the fact they're constantly on the move. You'll find that that assistants make great informants!
* '''Madness Immune''': Since you're a {{Strikethrough|master}} doctor of psychoanalysis, you're very capable of mental self-awareness, thus being immune to some hallucinations.
 
Due to the lack of responsibility, you'll usually find that assistants are the ones responsible for renovating the bar with a dance floor or boxing ring, building cloning stations in firefighting closets, converting the dorms into interrogation rooms, and all other sorts of wacky projects.
 
===Gimmicks===
An assistant is also good job for playing a single-round gimmick.

==Ghost in the System==
It's easy to stay under the radar as an assistant, as you have the least-respected job on the station (aside from [[Clown|that other guy]]). You have [[maintenance]] access, but to go anywhere else you need to be creative. Loot a belt and budget insulated gloves from [[Primary Tool Storage]] if you can and set out!
 
The number one advantage of traitor assistant is your opponent's arrogance. Security and other crew members will typically assume you are inexperienced or stupid, so surprise them with your knowledge of the game's mechanics.
 
This doesn't mean you won't run into a particularly savvy security member who knows the potential danger of an assistant, though. Keep alert at all times. In the rare case that someone actually asks you to assist them, draw them into a quiet place and execute them.


== VIP ==
Whatever a VIP exactly is, It appears that you are allowed to be sticky with the captain. No? It must be an ignorant action against you. Nobody knows why you are a VIP, but there's a reason. El presidente, a CEO or an ambassador of a space nation, really whoever you are. Your payment is comparable enough to the captain and they know you are a VIP.


* '''Supervisor and Department''': No one. You don't need a supervisor. You are your supervisor.
* '''High Payment''': Your payment is exceedingly high, while you don't have any responsibility for your payment.
* '''TWIT Cartridge''': This allows VIPs to send their PDA message to all crews around the whole station! This is your true power, so don't hesitate to abuse it. Cooldown time is only 90 seconds which is 30 seconds faster when comparing to Captain's cartridge.
* '''Loud mode radioset''': Every crew must hear your voice with no misdirection. Don't make them miss your important voice and show them you're onboarding on the station.
