Standard Equipment: Pistol

Intelligence: Above Average (They can outsmart the Crewmates and is capable of sneaking around without worry. They can sabotage electronics very easily despite how advanced they are)

Standard Tactics: Sneaks around and will disable oxygen, remove lighting, and sabotage any power/electricity. They will then close any doors to trap the victim, either before or after depending on situation, and kill. If they cannot sabotage, they will dig around or rip any current vents to crawl around and attack their opponent while having stealth mastery. If they cannot attack or are empathetically manipulated to not attack, they can social influence others into killing, or even killing themselves via a “self-vote”. Their weapon choice is a wildcard unless they’re limited to a gun. | Sabotages and floats away, otherwise a wildcard.

Weaknesses: Most of his offensive sets are usually close-ranged.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Gun: A glock loaded with a full clip. Usually used to finish kills after pushing down a character.

• Tongue: Their tongue is a key weapon that they use in combat, allowing them to penetrate right through skulls.

• Sabotage: Allows the imposter to manipulate technology and similar objects. It allows them to incapacitate, disable lights, or cause explosions in a meltdown of the reactor or electronics.

• Vent: Imposter can “Vent” to sneak around, and can be used for digging.

• Report/Emergency Meeting: Gathers all people around an area if the Imposter finds a dead body or triggers a meeting, generally considered Social Influencing.

Key: Impostor | As a ghost

Note: Report is combat applicable as it is sound based and is social influencing. Emergency Meeting is somewhat inapplicable for combat unless the Imposter has access to a button or homefield advantage to Mira HQ, Polus or the Skeld.
