Impostor (Among Us)

The Impostor is the main antagonist of Among Us. In the game they attempt to thwart the Crewmates' ambitions and stop them from completing all of their tasks. If they are caught they are ejected from the ship into the vacuum of space, where they die.

Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Enhanced Senses (They can see in the dark and have sight that is superior to that of the Crewmates), Shapeshifting (They are described as a shapeshifter), possibly Dimensional Storage (As shown with their gun), Social Influencing (The main mechanic of Among Us is the Impostor convincing other Crewmates that they're innocent or even getting others killed), Technological Manipulation (They can sabotage advanced spaceship and interplanetary base technology, can overheat reactors, and can completely nullify sound waves, communications, and technology that can detect living things.), Light Manipulation (They can fire lasers that burn off half the victims' body), Resistance to Cold Manipulation (They can roam icy planets) and Heat Manipulation (They can stand near lava)

All previous abilities (excluding Shapeshifting), Higher Enhanced Senses (Is unaffected by darkness and can see in it), Intangibility, Non-Corporeal, Invisibility, Levitation and Immortality (Type 7. Via being a ghost)

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 using 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.
