A '''holoparasite''', also known by its magic variant as a '''guardian spirit''', is a special being that is bound to the single person that summoned it. It is summoned through either a deck of tarot cards for the magic version or a parasitic nanomachine injector for the machine version. The nanomachine injector can be purchased by traitors.

The only difference between the magic and tech versions are their summon methods and appearance. They both have access to the same abilities. This means that traitors can get an ally that [[Wizard]]s are also able to get!

==Overview==
==Overview==
A holoparasite is a special ghost-like being that lives inside of its master. It can communicate with its master telepathically (and the master can communicate back), as well as emerge from and retreat back into its master at will. If the Holoparasite tries to escape its master and moves too far away, it will automatically be moved back to them. The Holoparasite itself is technically invincible on its own, but upon taking damage, the damage is transferred to its master, albeit at a lower amount. If the master dies, the spirit dies, as well. When the user dies, their body is instantly consumed and dusted by the Holoparasite's need for their life energy, preventing cloning.

This means that the master and the spirit will have to watch out for each other to ensure the survival of both.

==Types of Holoparasites==
==Powers of Holoparasites==
When summoned, the summoner can choose between several different types of spirits. Each have their own abilities, advantages, and drawbacks.
(If you use a mysterious arrow you won't get to pick your holoparasite type)
 
*'''Assassin''':  The holopara can enter "stealth mode" -- when it attacks someone in stealth mode, it'll penetrate armor and deal 50+ damage. Cooldown for stealth mode is affected by potential.
 
*'''Explosive''': The holopara can alt-click on any object to turn it into a bomb temporarily. Bumping into a dense/solid bomb, or clicking on it, will blow up the person who did it, usually KOing and possibly dismembering them. How long a bomb stays a bomb is affected by potential.
 
*'''Frenzy''': The holopara makes it's summoner move fast while manifested, and it can click on people within it's range to rush them, and it also has an ability to teleport behind people and attack them (omae wa shinderu. nani?!). Potential has no affect. (Range C or + only)
 
*'''Gravity''': The holopara can high gravity to tiles and people, which slows them down and deals brute damage over time. How far you can get from someone before the gravity is lifted is affected by potential.
 
*'''The Hand''': The holopara can click on any tile at range to bring all it's unanchored contents in front of you. People, lockers, medkits, et cetera. It has a cooldown, affected by potential.
 
*'''Healing''': The holopara can click on any mob or object to heal it. Healing amount is based on potential.
 
*'''Predator''': The holopara can scan blood DNA and fingerprints, allowing it to track anyone who it has scanned. Tracking precision is based on potential.
 
*'''Scout''': The holopara can go into "scout mode", which turns it near-invisible and gives it infinite range, but it cannot attack anyone in this state.
 
*'''Time Erasure''': The holopara can "skip time" -- this spawns clones of the holopara and it's summoner, turning the originals invisible and invincible for the duration. They however, cannot attack anyone during this period. Duration is affected by potential.
 
if you somehow get your hands on a mysterious arrow while you already have a guardian, you can attempt to stab your guardian with it and finally reach the '''truth''' and become '''Requiem'''.
 
*'''Dimensional Manifestation''': The holopara can summon the (very obvious) manifestation of a 6x6 pocket dimension into the world on top of it. If you are inside the manifestation when the guardian de-manifests it, you and anything you are pulling (neckgrab for mobs) will be teleported into it. The guardian can move the pocket dimension around like a camera while inside, and re-manifest it whereever they wish. There is no normal way for anyone but the guardian and it's master to escape. It has air, gravity, and power, but no telecommunications.
 
*'''Absolution''': While your holopara is manifested, you are immune to nearly all attacks. Tasers and disablers will return to sender, people will stunbaton themselves instead of you, smoke and foam will clear around you, no bad air will affect you, explosions will simply go around you. The holopara, however, is still vulnerable to attack, and it will still transfer damage to you.
 
*'''Timestop''': Wizard timestop.
 
There also secondary abilities, if you have the points to spare.


*'''Surveillance Snares''': gives you a alert if any mob (including yourself) walks over it.


===Standard===
*'''Teleportation Pad''': Basically the exact same thing as the [Syndicate Items#Briefcase_Launchpad/ Traitor one].
The classic <s>JoJoke</s> combat powerhouse. Deals devastating close combat attacks by rapidly hitting the target, and has high damage resist. Can smash through weak walls.


The Standard Holoparasite also has access to some minor customization: The Holoparasite can select a Battle Cry that they will automatically shout over and over upon attacking. This is limited to six letters. For instance, putting in "ORA" for the battle cry will make you shout
(Keep in mind you can choose to pick NO powers and just go full stats)


'''"ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!!"'''
'''STANDO POWAH!!!!'''


Now you must be asking yourself "hey what the hell are you talking about?!?! what is potential? what are points?" don't worry sweet child, i will now explain what all that bullshit means right about...


===Assassin===
==Stats and Building your Guardian==
Does medium damage and takes full damage, but can enter stealth, causing its next attack to do massive damage and ignore armor. However, it becomes briefly unable to recall after attacking from stealth.


(you don't get to pick your stats if you get your guardian from a arrow)


===Chaos===
Now! once you use your injector/deck you will get to build-a-guardian, awesome! you get 15 points to pick between 5 different stats and a  [[Holoparasite#Powers of Holoparasites|guardian power]]
Ignites enemies on touch and causes them to hallucinate all nearby people as the parasite. Automatically extinguishes the user if they catch on fire.
 


the stats are: (A is the max rank and F being the lowest)


===Charger===
*'''Power''': Determines how hard you can punch things at rank A you can punch down regular walls
Moves extremely fast, does medium damage on attack, and can charge at targets, damaging the first target hit and forcing them to drop any items they are holding.


*'''Defense''': Determines how much damage you transfer to your user at rank A you barely transfer any and at rank F you transfer MORE damage to your user


===Explosive===
*'''Speed''': Determines how fast you punch stuff, great for powerless holoparasites
High damage resist and medium power attack that may explosively teleport targets. Can turn any object, including objects too large to pick up, into a bomb by alt-clicking them, dealing explosive damage to the next person to touch it. The object will return to normal after the trap is triggered or after a delay.


*'''Range''': Determines how far you can move away from your user at rank F you're anchored to your user


===Gravitokinetic===
*'''Potential''': See [[Holoparasite#Powers_of_Holoparasites|Powers]] above and how potential affects ( or doesn't) them
Normal speed, attack damage and damage resistances. Attacks will apply a field of heavy gravity on the target, slowing them and making them drop held items. Can alt-click ground to manually place heavy gravity fields. Recalling or moving over 10 tiles away from the fields will remove them.


==Tips & Tricks==


===Lightning===
*As an Explosive Holopara Try setting a throwable object to explode, then throw said object on someone and detonate! fun for the whole family.
Attacks apply lightning chains to targets. Has a lightning chain to the user. Lightning chains shock everything near them, doing constant damage.
 
*The flashiest power ins't always the best, see what your objectives are and pick your power and stats accordingly, maybe you don't need time-skip and A in Power if you just have to steal the plutonium core and a slime extract.
 
*Mysterious arrows can be found on necropolis tendrils or in powerful signals in lavaland. they have a 50/50 chance of either dusting you or giving you a cool guardian.
 
*As a Gravity Guardian, apply gravity to your summoner in a no gravity station for free magboots!




=== Protector ===
Has two modes, and causes you to teleport to it when out of range.
====Combat====
It does and takes medium damage.
====Protection====
It does and takes almost no damage but moves slightly slower.




===Ranged===
Has two modes, and can lay surveillance snares, which alert it when crossed.
====Ranged====
Fires a constant stream of weak, armor-ignoring projectiles.
====Scout====
Cannot attack, but has unlimited range, can move through walls and is quite hard to see.




===Support===
Has two modes, and can deploy a bluespace beacon and warp targets to it (including your host). Deploy a beacon by clicking its verb in your guardian tab. Then teleport people by alt-clicking them. Teleporting is not instant.
====Combat====
Medium power attacks and damage resistances.
====Healer====
Heals instead of damages, but has low damage resist and slow movement.

A holoparasite, also known by its magic variant as a guardian spirit, is a stale Jojo's reference special being that is bound to the single person that summoned it. It is summoned through either a deck of tarot cards for the magic version or a parasitic nanomachine injector for the machine version. The nanomachine injector can be purchased by traitors.

The only difference between the magic and tech versions are their summon methods and appearance. They both have access to the same abilities. This means that traitors can get an ally that Wizards are also able to get!
