The morph is a unidentified lifeform that seems to exist to only kill and eat people, as well as eating miscellaneous items.
What am I?
A morph is a unique lifeform. You have very little ways to interact with the world, you cannot pick up or use any item. You have several unique functions to help you however.
- You can morph into any physical object, organic or otherwise.
- You can eat dead organic beings to regenerate health.
- You cannot be stunned or otherwise slowed down.
- You can freely crawl through the station's ventilation system at will.
- You have a powerful melee attack.
Morphing
Your principle ability, by shift+clicking any object in the game you will instantly change your appearance to mimic that. You can morph into almost any object in the game, from a drop of blood to a human. Morphing to a human, silicon or other organic lifeform will transform you into a exact replica of what said lifeform was wearing at that moment, your appearance is aesthetic only, meaning a riot shield won't block melee attacks.
You can revert to your original form via shift+clicking yourself.
You deal 30 brute damage while in your original form, but only 5 brute damage while disguised. You must undisguise yourself to reliably kill anyone.
You CAN communicate at any time, but your speech will be heavily slurred and hard to understand, as well as giving yourself away if you've been detected prior.
Eating
The only way you can regenerate health is by eating a dead lifeform, anything will do and you can do this in both disguised and disguised states. You can also eat non-organic items such as guns or metal, but this provides no benefit aside from denying those items to anyone else.
To survive and thrive
When undisguised you move at a slow pace, but when disguised you move at a rapid (human) pace.
When you first enter the station try and find a simple disguise. Disguise as something benign like a pen, paper or some blood and find a good disguise. A human or cyborg disguise will work, however a disguise like beepsky works wonders in open hallways.
Avoid having to talk to humans, but if you must communicate with humans, keep your words short. Longer winded text will have a good chance of being slurred but short text won't be slurred. So instead of saying "Hi how are you?", which will come out as "Hii hoawww'w arree yoou?", say "Hi." Also consider emoting instead of talking, such as waving.
Use the ventilation system and your movement advantages to your advantage. In any form you can freely move over tables and you can freely enter the vent system at any point.
