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.

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.

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.

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

==Actually Assisting People==
==Stage Magician==
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!
The Stage Magician spawns in an empty theatre. You have very little responsibility other than entertainment, similar to a [[Clown]] or [[Mime]]. However, you have a beacon that can give you one of three items, indistinguishable from his normal outfit:


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]].
'''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

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!
 
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.

==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.
