## History

Doppelgangers of the friendly Crewmates found among their group, the parasitic shapeshifters known as Impostors have only one goal: wipe out the helpless Crewmates on a science ship, be that through tricking their friends into tossing them out the airlock, running down their oxygen supply, causing a reactor meltdown, or murdering them all. However, if the Crewmates catch on to their suspicious behavior, they can be tossed out the airlock themselves.

## Fatal Fiction Info

### Background

* Real Name: Unknown
* Species: Parasitic alien
* Height: 3'6 (Equal to Crewmates)
* Weight: 92lb (Should be equal to Crewmates)
* Primary goal is to kill enough Crewmates to have an equal amount of Impostors and Crewmates before all tasks are completed and to have their true identity remain hidden
* Looks like a walking jellybean

### Abilities and Weapons

* Physical strength
* Stealth
* Pistol
* Knife
* Sharp teeth
* Barbed tongue
* Technological knowledge
	+ Can cause certain objects to malfunction, with effects ranging from a critical sabotage causing the Crewmates to die instantly if not fixed, obscure tasks by messing with communications, causing the lights to break down to allow the Impostor to have an easier time killing or escaping under the cover of darkness, or shutting door
* Expertise in deception
* Superhuman eyesight
* Shapeshifting
* Parasitic nature
* Oxygen independence (possibly)
* Ghost
	+ Flight
	+ Invisibility
	+ Intangibility

### Feats

* Is strong enough to break a Crewmate's neck with ease
* Can impale a Crewmate through their head and glass visor with their tongue
* Can knock a Crewmate to the floor with a sucker punch
* Can decapitate Crewmates
* The holes in Polus show that the Impostor removed the vents, and created the holes in the map
* Can travel through the vents of an entire space ship and bases faster than walking
* Crewmates can’t react to them until after they kill
* The Impostor disappears after killing someone for a second and reappears by the dead body, so should be somewhat faster than they can perceive in combat
* Comparable to other Crewmates, who are can react to and shoot down meteors
* Can survive the reactor meltdown as seen in the victory screen for if the Impostor wins via the reactor meltdown
* Can roam icy planets and be just fine
* Can stand near lava
* Implied to survive without oxygen
* Prior to the events of the game, killed a Crewmate and shapeshifted into its form to blend in with the crew according to a developer
* Is (intended to be) an amazing liar and manipulator, and an expert at blending in with the other Crewmates
* Smart enough to sabotage an entire spaceship's and bases' oxygen supply, communications, lighting systems, overload their reactors, and doors
* Intelligence and skill should be similar to average Crewmates who are able to fix wires and do multiple complex tasks regarding advanced science equipment
* According to a dev, the idea behind the MIRA base map (which takes place on the home planet of the Crewmates) was that an Impostor was able to make it all the way there somehow, presumably by tricking the inhabitants of a ship

### Weaknesses

* Hasn't shown anything above human durability
* Can be known to fumble up when it ends up getting caught
* Prefers to kill its victims one by one so a group of them can give him quite a challenge
* Can be a horrible liar, manipulator, and terrible at blending in with other Crewmates (Sometimes)
* As a ghost, it cannot physically hurt anyone
* Cannot do any MedBay scans, so the Medbay scanning can reveal the Impostor's identity to the Crewmates
* Impostors are sometimes not collaborative, and are heartless to one another
* Most of its offensive sets are usually close-ranged
