My 1st suggestion is figuring out why your charater is with NT as an ANTAGONIST or NON ANTAGONIST.
For example: The "Selena's" (yes multiplue depending on mood, role ,etc) are all working for NT to pay for eachother.
The reason one can die and another can take over can be used as "Cloning" but in my opinion it's just a different Selena being sent as they multiply like Roaches (get it?)
Also each Selena observes several traits but run the same base line:
"You are the incarnation of the Roach Goddess" Even though all of them know of eachother.
Some will just say it very rarely, others will keep instating it (moslty chaplain Selena's).
Heck Scientist Selena will never say it as she wants to scientifically prove the fact that she is the ROACH GODDESS!
Don't talk about Genetcist Selena.. she thinks gods are created.
As for Antag Selena's. It depends on the antag role.
Conspirators are very flexiable. I merely suggest a path we go for and how to do it, if people want something else I will go along it.
If it's a traitor. It depends on my mood... counter agent is something I do as traitor Selena or I do some mischief by giving people some silly gadgets like bowling balls and start a monkey bowling club. Heck one time I was a traitor RD and I used my tools to capture DANGEROUS ANIMALS to study.
Sec went hard on me for having contraband insted of telling me to go to the HoP. Became a whole chase for me not wanting to show contraband since i was trying to capture DANGEROUS ANIMALS! (wich i released)
If it's Changeling.. WOW BOY! That can go anywhere! From Bioweapon secret agent Selena hunting down other antags. To... "All shall become the roach goddess" to... "YOU WILL JOIN THE ROACH GODDESS IN BODY!" To... "Hehehe.. Shitty Bill infection! Everyone is turning shitty bill!"
Vampire is always more subdued, but 8/10 it's a hemovore bio weapon.
If it's a spy thief... it depends on what gadgets I can get my hands on. It can be like the traitor, to counter spying, to "KUDZU CULT!"
Arcfiend falls under vampire.
As for wraith I never touched but I got gimmicks for that.
As for general tips:
-What job your rolled go with it, if you don't like it go to the HoP.
-Don't hack doors and go into other sections cause the department is EMPTY, ask the HoP for access or Captain. Only do it as a last resort.
-Insted of punching an obivious antagonist/possible antagonist. RP with them. Just cause the changeling went abomination don't fucking go into a rage unless they are murdering crewmates, heck avoid fighting.
-As an antagonist, try to announce hints or interact. No one likes macrobombers cause it makes people go: "WELP TIME TO EXTRACT SINCE SOMEONE BOMBED MEDBAY WITHIN 15 MINS" On main it might be tolerated.. but on RP it's very frowned upon.
-As an antagonist, there is nothing wrong with helping a gimmick.
-As a normal player, helping an antag is not wrong as long as "YOUR CHARATER" doesn't suspect them being an antagonist. It might be fun to see where the antag gimmick is going even if you know BOWLING BALLS ARE ANTAG ONLY THINGS. Maybe that bowling alley will do fine!
-As security always ask 1st. You can play a paranoid case if you want... but don't act upon batoning and brigging someone. Security is "LITTERLY" suppose to prioritize being a team player to everyone. If security is too busy beating up the clown for pranks...it makes people unwilling to do RP. Also engage with people doing odd things, but don't arrest them.
- If you ever get Captain, try to show some sort of compitence. Incompitent captains are okay, but they can drag down a shift much easier then compitent ones. As a captain your gimmick can easily overshadow others due to your command status. If you want to be an incompitent captain, have a compitent HoS or HoP along side.
- If you feel the gimmick ain't fun even if forced upon. Just cryo or do something else. As long as you don't sabotage it, no one minds you leaving.
AND FINALLY.
"It's fine to meta a little if it means your gimmick gets more time to shine." No one is going to get angry at a scientist knowing mechanics to build a drug dispsenser.
Just don't take away other players who can engage with it. Also if you have to wait more then 10 mins, I think it's fine to "Meta" and do it yourself. Especially time sensative stuff.
