Welch (underworld debt collectors)

Name: Astiroth

Appearance: I'll get that later

Class: Marker

Powers:

Shapeshifting: Astiroth can alter his from and appearance by altering his shadow.

Shadow scent: Astiroth can track and detect others through the realm of shadows.

Shadow blend: Astiroth can move and blend in with the shadows making him difficult to detect.

Shadow bond: Astiroths specialty. Astiroth is able to bond to another persons/demons shadow. This bolsters their existing abilities and aids in unlocking their dormant demonic heritage. Astiroth can also move and act independently although restricted by 10 meters of his bond.

Shadows sweet Embrace: A much stronger form of shadow bond, this significantly bolsters the abilities of the bonded figure as well as grants them Asiroths abilities as well molding that individual into a far more deadly collector than before. However, Astiroth can not act independently of his host and is completely reliant on them except in thought.

Weakness: As a shadow, holy light burns Asiroth far more than normal for a demon. Asiroth lacks physically, while still a demon who shouldn't be underestimated, he is weaker than the average demon. When bonded to a host, his fate is tied with theirs, if his host dies, so will he. While capable of blending with shadows, he is not undetectable. Those trained to do so will sense his malicious intent or could simple shine a light into the shadow he is hiding in

Backstory: Astiroth had no intention of being a collector. His weak nature made him less than a favorable pick at first. One day however, a collector couldn't find a partner to help with a certain debt. Asiroth was unsure of joining but decided to aid since it would have been his first taste of being a collector. While his abilities over the shadows made him useful, it was when the unexpected happened that made his abilities sought after. An encounter with three blessed humans made survival almost impossible. That was when Asiroth first used Sahdows Sweet Embrace. The demons abilities were bolstered enough and A long woth the collectors experience, they were barely able to escape. It was here after that Astiroth was discovered to make the perfect partner. His shadow bond made many demons far more successful than before and eventually, more and more collectors sought his aid.

I'm thinking of a demon that enhances his allies though music like a bard.

My other idea is a demon that is like a shadow, he would be a tracker who is weak on his own but could bond woth the shadow of another demon to enhance that demons abilities.

I haven't looked at what roles are have the least people though cuz I want to help make a well rounded team.

I will put a cs up shortly. Have some ideas but unclear on what to go with.

The call for help was heard. In a single moment, a drone broke through the vent. A nightmarish creature who's eyeless face still stares into the souls of the scientists. They all scramble and scream in terror. The drone would kill them under normally circumstances but now was not the time. The drone vomits acid onto the containment cases. The acid melts away the material but your body is conditioned and is not injured. The drone grabs up the chest bursters and puts them onto its dorsal tubes where your tails could easily wrap around them. The drone turns yo exit back through the vent but a white gass starts to seep through. The drone backs away, it seems cornered as the gass begins to fill the room. This drone looks around. A mental command tell you to hang on as it leaps onto the glass wall that's part of the observatorium. It's weight easily smashes the glass as it falls into the ungassed room. The man standing runs away while the man in the chair rushes the xenomorph. The drone side steps and throws the man into the gass filled room. As the drone takes you through the vent, you notice the man stand up through the poisonous fumes.

From this point, the drone crawls into what appears to be a blood stained room with bodies lying about. While you would not know it, this is the morgue. Th ere is a chance here to fees and and grow, yet if you believe this is the first place they would look, it is possible to leave.

Revenant: A Sci-Fi Adventure (Always Accepting!)

Tobi opened fire in short controlled bursts. His visor flickered red but remained blue for the most part. The vikings using the metal panels was a smart move but Tobi has a very easy solution.

Tobi reached and pulled put a cluster grenade. The force of of impact would break a couple arms if it didn't shred the panels. He reached to pull the pin but stopped when his scanners picked up a chemical substance in the air. His cluster grenade might burn out the toxin if it exploded. Blue didn't let himself get frustrated for someone using a tactic that a simple filter could negate. He held on to the cluster grenade, while blue would hesitate to pull the pin, something stopped him. Red wouldn't let blue pull the pin yet.

Let me know if this works. I think it does but I've never made a discord chat before.

Yes.

For the Hive

When spending points, yes. But have no fret, you will have the opportunity to evolve to a full grown xenomorph.

@Triesa

With the host distracted, it is too easy. The host struggles for several moments but is soon incapacitate. For now, everything is dark

@Typhon@Mae@Triesa@Scarescrow@Pyromaniacwolf

All is dark as the incubation period sets in. The facehugger give the last of their life to you as they crawl away to die. Nothing more of them is to be. Fragile creatures for what follows the cycle and yet..without them your cycle would never begin.

You all awake, but the first light gives sight to things unnatural. Some kind of field keeps you all contained yet separate from one another. Observing the surrounding indicates a strange room. Several humans are talking. They occasionally turn to glance to you all but quickly turn back to each other. Above the room, a glass panel reveals an observatory with two shadowy figures that watch everything.

There are several options. Xenomorphs are know to be able to vomit up acid residue. It's possible that even a youngling could, though kt would greatly weakem your fragile form. The option remains to always wait and see. Though there is a third option. You sense it, beyond the room. Another xenomorph roams in the vents. A full sized drone. It's egg must have been separate and hidden well. It is possible to call it to aid through the telepathic connection one shares with the queen.

@Scarescrow
You leap into action. Both of the hosts look directly at you due to the screech. While you land on the hand of one host, the other immediately moves to knock you off. Perhaps announcing yourself before the leap wasn't the best idea. However, before the other host can knock you off, a second facehugger lunges.
The host never gives up trying to shake you off. The wound in his hand does not slow him down as adrenaline pumps through him. For a moment, it almost shakes you, that is until it trips on the unconscious host behind it. This gives you the perfect window as everything for the host goes black.

@Pyromaniacwolf

You lunge at the other host who is sufficiently distracted. He struggles for a bit but it is too late. For the host, everything goes black.

@Mae

The host never saw what was coming, within seconds, they lie motionless on the ground. They will serve as an excellent host...or they would have. You don't understand what's going on, but you feel something pull against you. It is too early however, far too early. Something fights you, an external force threatens to pry you from your host. You can feel the grip from your tri jointed digits weakening. On instinct, you tighten you tail grip around your hosts throat, unfortunately, that is all you can do. The host continues to pull.

@Triesa

Due to the commotion, you patience would not be rewarded. The host turns around to notice the facehugger leap from the box. The host immediately runs up the the unconscious one and grabs the facehugger and begin to attempt to pull it off. This host seems strong. The slowly begin to pry the facehugger off. They are not successful yet, but they may succeed if not stopped.
