Command

Job	Role	Difficulty
Captain	The Captain is an important role that often dictates the direction and outcome of the round. They are responsible for thwarting traitors, hiding the nuclear authentication disk, and coordinating with Centcomm and crew via the Communications Console.	aVery Hard
Head of Personnel	The HoP assists the crew by provisioning access to other crewmembers when needed. He can change job roles, fire unruly crew, and guards an essential crewmember in his office. The HoP is relatively armed, and can often assist in thwarting traitors. However, unlike the Captain, he is not immune to corruption...	cMedium

Security

Job	Role	Difficulty
Head of Security	The HoS is in charge of managing security and coordinating efforts to detain enemies of Nanostrasen. A tightly run security department can ensure no human harm occurs. However, this rarely goes as planned. Playing as the HoS requires a great level of familiarity with security operations but is highly rewarding.	aVery Hard
Warden	The warden is head of the brig, where, from his office, he controls the oversight of prisoners' capture and release. He also performs oversight on the armory, which can be vital to the ship's function in stopping high-risk threats. Being a warden requires a watchful eye over prisoners so that Space Law is not violated and no lethal weaponry is left unsecured.	bHard
Security Officer	Revel in the fact that you're generally hated by the station. The security officer is responsible patrolling the station, responding to calls for help, capturing and detaining (the correct) criminal, alerting their department of any developments, performing random searches and abusing the clown.	aHard
Detective	The detective is in charge of investigating crime scenes for the perpetrator. They are armed with a powerful sidearm and a fingerprinting device. A robust detective can track down criminals and stop their spree dead in its tracks.	cMedium

Engineering

Job	Role	Difficulty
Chief Engineer	The Chief Engineer comes equipped with state of the art tools and access to both engineering departments. Your job as the CE is to coordinate your team of Station Engineers and Atmospheric Techs, using your familiarity with engineering to oversee the successful operation of the station's power source, rebuild damage and hull breaches, repurpose areas of the station, and fix the Telecommunications.	bHard
Station Engineer	The arm of the Chief Engineer. Your job is to set up the engine and repair any damage to hull and equipment. Nothing is broken? Just give it a few minutes. A vital function of this job is providing machines for individual departments and upgrading their components if science is busy elsewhere.	cMedium
Atmospheric Technician	Atmospheric Technicians control one of the most complex departments on the station. Left completely untouched, it will operate at minimum efficiency, but an effective atmospherics department requires a heap of knowledge regarding the function of gases aboard SS13. As an atmospherics tech, you are capable of setting air alarms and redirecting gas flow to prevent or stop harm to the crew. You are also incredibly more effective at dealing with fires.	cHard

Science

Job	Role	Difficulty
Research Director	Oversee the scientists and roboticists of your department, which is consistently in an arms race for research points and materials from the protolathe. Being the RD requires familiarity with all science departments. An effective RD can help contain malfunctioning silicons and gather tremendous research points through toxins.	bHard
Scientist	A swiss army knife of the science and research department. Your job as a scientist ranges from researching at the console, experimenting in xenobiology, crafting elaborate explosives in toxins, to dispensing nanites for the crew. A critical part of this job is performing upgrades to the various departments, improving their efficiency.	cMedium
Roboticist	As a roboticist, your primary job is creating an army of cyborgs, automated bots, and hulking mechs in order to assist the station when the materials provide. You can convert crew to cyborgs, sometimes unwillingly, and spawn new brains when organic ones are absent. Having some surgery expertise makes an effective roboticist.	dEasy

Medical

Job	Role	Difficulty
Chief Medical Officer	The primary function of the CMO is overseeing a staff of medical crew to intake patients, dispense chemicals, cure epidemics, perform surgeries and DNA mutations, and clone or properly dispense of the dead. It is helpful to understand the other departments in order to prevent chemistry from exploding or virology from releasing harmful viruses.	cMedium
Medical Doctor	A relatively relaxed position when it's not covered in bodies and Medbay isn't on fire, a medical doctor assists the crew by placing people inside machines that heal damage, clone the ones that took too much damage, defibrillate the recently passed, and ensure the proper disposal of bodies. It is helpful to understand surgery in this role to assist the near-unrecoverable. A robust doctor makes effective use of examining patients before treating or cloning them to drastically reduce work load.	dEasy
Chemist	The chemists play an important role in the medical department by operating dispensers to mix ingredients from recipes that will assist, or destroy the station. Playing this department can be relaxed at times until epidemics break out and the crew start breaking in. A robust chemist records recipes for easy reuse, keeps medical staff supplied with useful drugs, and has virus cures loaded in the smartfridge.	dEasy
Geneticist	Geneticists operate a lab where they experiment on monkeys and collect DNA sequences from crew in order to rush beneficial mutations as quickly as possible. Though they are technically intended to operate the cloning machine near their station, they are often preoccupied. A robust geneticist produces and distributes beneficial mutations to the crew via injectors.	cMedium
Virologist	Virologists work from a secluded lab, operating a PanD.E.M.I.C_2200 in order to mutate virus straits towards beneficial traits. Playing virologist requires a bit of luck and patience, and administering viruses can prove even more difficult. Making simple mistakes as a virologist can lead to your lynching. A robust virologist coordinates with the CMO, AI, and chemists in order to release viruses to distrusting crew.	cMedium

Civilian

Supply

Job	Role	Difficulty
Quartermaster	Order crates and make sure your slaves do their jobs. Be an extremely vulnerable target for the Revolution. Order guns and secede from the station. Order virus crates and release the contents. Force Lisa into sexual servitude with Ian. Pet Lisa. Trade an assistant a toolbelt, multitool, rubber gloves, and a welding hat if they steal Runtime. Order a shitton of NULL_CRATES and cry in deadchat when raided and killed by security.	cMedium
Cargo Technician	Push dem crates. Promote shorts as they are comfy and easy to wear. Steal emitters cargo in general. Give the MULEs a thirst for human blood. Whine because Security arrested you for ordering guns.	dEasy
Shaft Miner	Mine rocks, try to mine monsters. Get science and robotics materials to get cool things. Go on a quest for the clown planet. Shoot people with your kinetic accelerator as if they were rocks monsters. Collapse in despair when the shuttle is called early. Collapse in general when goliaths robust you. Search for cool loot instead of actually mining for ore. "Accidentally" lure a Megafauna to the station. Fall into a chasm and die.	bHard

Service

Job	Role	Difficulty
Janitor	Janitors perform the deceptively difficult job of cleaning the station, which is quickly filled with trash, then bullet casings, then blood. A robust janitor makes effective use of holographic walk signs and cleaning grenades to keep the station looking as clean as possible.	dEasy
Bartender	Bartenders function as the station's entertainment in the kitchen. Sometimes the crew abandon their work to come and get absolutely wrecked at the bar. Your job as a Bartender is to fulfill that requirement by mixing lengthy recipes into borderline-illegal concoctions.	dEasy
Cook	The organic crew on Space Station 13 need food to keep their spirits up. Being a chef means cooking up meals and operating equipment that can range from very simple to overly complex, and more-than-once you will be offered to serve questionable items to the crew, like human and brain burgers. Yum!	dEasy
Botanist	Botanists operate a department traditionally filled full of wheat and weed. Being a botanist means preparing ingredients for the chef at the minimum, but the robust botanist is able to create a very diverse list of plants that perform nearly any operation, including cloning dead crewmen into plants and plant based explosive devices. The robust botanist is able to secure equipment necessary to greatly improve their work speed, keeping the kitchen and medical stocked while performing their own experiments.	cMedium

Miscellaneous

Job	Role	Difficulty
Assistant	Your job as an assistant is to assist. Or, at least, that's what CentCom asks of every greytider. With minimal access to all departments, this job is reserved for beginners and veterans seeking a challenge. The robust assistant performs a variety of roles while officially being none.	fNone
Clown	Honk! The clown is a challenging role which usually finds you at the end of a boot or baton. The clown has officially no purpose on the station other than to entertain and/or harass the crew, playing simple and sometimes complex pranks while attempting to remain uncaptured once security has enough of your shenanigans. Playing a clown almost guarantees you will be griefed or ejected from every department.	eHONK!
Mime		e...
Chaplain	The chaplain performs rites and rituals from within his own Chapel located on every station. A large amount of roleplay is to be taken into consideration while playing the chaplain, which consists of trying to convert crew members to whatever religion you're professing, all the while helping the station purge any other religion you may come across. The robust chaplain becomes an unstoppable force armed with a powerful melee weapon.	dEasy
Curator	The curator oversees the library from within the station. With a unique set of tools and weaponry, the Curator performs a traditionally roleplay-heavy job which sometimes includes research in order to stop infernals, should the need arise.	dEasy
Lawyer	The lawyer keeps a watchful eye over the rights of prisoners, ensuring prisoner's rights are not violated, keeping the innocent and guilty out of jail. Being a lawyer requires patience and roleplay as you will be doing a considerable amount of in-character conversations, including but not limited to court proceedings.	dEasy

Non-human

Job	Role	Difficulty
AI	The AI is the omnipresent experimental on-board intelligence installed by NanoStrasen. The AI is a very complex role that requires some familiarity on par with captaincy and adherence to roleplay that follows your lawset. With no hands to perform physical operations, your job is to oversee the entire station should your cameras permit, allowing access to crew members and altering the operation of machines on the station. You are quickly targeted should you prove ineffective, quickly blamed for mistakes out of your grasp, and quickly destroyed as a high-value target to saboteurs.	aVery Hard
Cyborg	Cyborgs on the station fulfill a variety of roles, come equipped with a multitude of modules to pick the correct tool, but lack any form of hands to carry objects. Playing cyborg means all access to the entire station, however you are often bound by lawsets or orders from crew that you must act upon. While slaved to an AI, you are subservient to it and humans alike, making you a go-to for airlock access and tools for everyone nearby. Not following your laws, ignoring orders, or rousing distrust in any way is a quick ticket to being remotely detonated by console, and destruction of "rogue borgs" is generally less frowned upon than murdering assistants.	bHard
Drone	Currently the only way to play as a drone is to take the role of a derelict drone at the derelict station. As a drone you become essentially a robotic pet, somewhere akin to a PAI, traversing the station and interacting with crew.	bEasy
Personal AI	PAI is a ghost role that you must submit your personality to, and a crew member must accept your submission via a PAI device. Once accepted, the PAI fulfills several jobs, which can include keeping crew members company, to playing music, to hacking airlocks.	dEasy
Construct	An ethereal being at the behest of the chaplain. Your job as a construct is similar to a PAI, entertaining your master or the crew. However, you are susceptible to death by cultists and nonhuman simplemobs.	cEasy to Medium
Ghost	Playing ghost occupies the space of the observer after your character has died. You are able to follow suspected antagonists, teleport across station, and watch the station destruct in real time. Ghosts have access to deadchat to communicate and vent with other ghosts and eavesdrop on every channel in the round. However, consider that any knowledge gained while dead is considered meta knowledge of the round; should you be revived or take on another role, you are expected to completely forget.	fGhastly!

Antagonists

Main Antagonists

Main Antagonists are typically the primary antagonist of a single round, and form the backbone of how a round progresses.

Job	Role	Difficulty
Traitor	Buy an ebow and esword and make people cry. Ignore your objectives and go on a rampage with your cool gear. Get unceremoniously killed and spaced by a toolbox-wielding assistant.	cMedium

Flood the station with plasma screams of the clown being beat to death by security over the intercom. Get unceremoniously carded and spaced by a toolbox-wielding assistant with an EVA suit.	cVery Hard

Side Antagonists

Side antagonists are secondary antagonists that are either subservient to other, main, antagonists, or have a small chance to appear during any round type. Side antagonists tend to be slightly less powerful than their main counterparts.

Job	Role	Difficulty
Blob	Beware of The Blob, it creeps and leaps and glides and slides, across the floor, right through the door. Except you don't do any of this. Make the crew scream internally when you appear at the tail end of a mass station bombing. Slowly consume the station, until you either eat everything or get killed by the current round's antagonist.	bHard

Removed and Deprecated Antagonists

These antagonists have, for one reason or another, been removed from the game. These antagonists might return one day if they ever get remade or reworked. Although, this is highly unlikely...

Job	Removal Reason	Role	Difficulty
Ragin Mages	Spawning up to three or four Wizards simply proved to be too much for the station. One Wizard is destructive enough. This however remains in game as a admin only event, for your their amusement.	Spend ten minutes hunting down one Wizard, kill him thinking you've won! Stare in horror as three more Wizards appear. Watch in amusement as they proceed to kill each other.	aMedium
Hand of God	Oh, poor HoG! Shoved out the door buggy, unbalanced, and extremely hard to learn as it combines three gamemodes (hello, gang) into one. Nobody wanted to fix HoG after it's release because of old derelict code that would break even more when poked. While some say it's fun while it's not broken, has that ever been the status quo?	Turn someone into !popehat! while they're talking to security. Instakill people with god powers! Build across the station converting people with your !popehat! gang, and get killed instantly by a rod smashing into your nexus. Break the game, over and over and over and get removed.	aHard
Hades, Pope of Sin	Poor guy was implemented into the game as summonable through an item accessible only to wizards. Almost never encountered, when the Dark Seed went away, away went the Pope of Sin with it.	Be a general annoyance to the crew. Be a very annoying (need I say it again with time freezing to a halt every minute or so) non-sentient antagonist. Play Russian roulette with the crew manifest.	AI Controlled
Shadowling	Shadowling suffered from issues of it being yet another crew conversion game mode, and was generally unfun to fight against and had a anti-climatic ending. This mode has recently been reworked into the Nightmare side antagonist.	Be the hip and more popular brother to the Changeling. Turn the station into thralls. Cry when a cyborg turns on its headlamp. Shadow Walk into space and die ten minutes into the round.	bHard
Cortical Borer	The Cortical Borer suffered from the same problems as the Monkey Mode, being very buggy and one sided at times. Fun for both sides was questionable. No current plans to reimplememt.	Crawl in the corroded brain of the clown. Inject meth. Assume direct control. Induce crippling drugs in the clown. Inject meth. Cry when the host eats sugar. Inject meth. Overdose!	aVery Hard
Hivemind Host	Stand around in places and add unwitting humans to your hivemind. Hijack the minds of crewmembers and have them do the dirty work for you. Have a random vessel get implanted and security wailing down on you 30 minutes into the shift.	Be a conversion stealth antag. Use One Mind and become unstunnable with magic abilities that are only ever fun for yourself.	aHard
Chrono Legionnaire	Originally suppose to replace the space ninja, however people didn't like the idea of someone being able to teleport everywhere and having a insta-stunlock rifle that deleted people after some time.	Erase the Clown from time. Accidently erase your objective from time. Erase Adolf Hitler for the 50th time this week. Without a trace, Cry because literally everybody forgot about you and never spawns you.	bNever Existed
Syndicate Mutineer	Overthrow ended up being a damn confusing gamemode. Examples include how unclear it was if the other agent teams were working with or against you, or how the points system worked, not to mention the poor wording of the Overthrown AI lawset. Numerous bugs surfaced that didn't all get fixed, and the gamemode ended up being recognized as one of the least-liked gamemodes after a vote was taken.	Arrive on the station as a Traitor with less gear but the ability to awaken the Syndicate sleeper agent in everybody. Cooperate with other teams to stage the perfect coup (or don't and just fight each other, fuck those guys). Roll up with your posse on a quest to become the most powerful Gang Syndicate team.	aHard

Special

Job	Role	Difficulty
Lavaland/Space Role	Die to ash storms. Die to an asteroid. Die to lava. Die when a Security strike team teleports into your base. Die to a Miner. Die in general.	bHard
CentCom Official	Be self-important, meddle with station affairs, annoy the Captain with bureaucracy. Get killed almost immediately by a random mob. Have you body looted by everyone, including the captain.	bMedium
Ian	Ass-inspect, eat donuts, get killed, be dragged off to a washing machine and get gibbed. Cause a riot.	aImpossible
Highlander	THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE	bMedium
Emergency Response Officer	Arrive too late on the station to actually help. Lose the rest of your team, get outnumbered and die. Respawn as a second response team to save the first team.	bVery Hard
Death Squad Officer	Beg for DS, spawn in at CentCom, kill an admin who was trying to tell you your mission, get gibbed, beg for another chance. Set your rifle to DESTROY and terminate all lifeforms (including walls). Slip on a banana peel and a̶n̶d̶ ̶g̶e̶t̶ ̶b̶l̶a̶s̶t̶e̶d̶ ̶i̶n̶t̶o̶ ̶o̶b̶l̶i̶v̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶ ̶y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶o̶w̶n̶ ̶r̶i̶f̶l̶e̶ laugh as your boots prevent you from slipping and the Clown can't fire your DNA-locked rifle. Shoot the Clown with your Mateba Revolver.	bHard
