well here's my idea for a variant of the chaplain ..
It's...
The Shaman
The shaman uses totems and smokes ayahuasca herbs to travel into the dream world.
The idea of this is that you could base your religion on any in game object, person, or creature.
basically anything you can click on. but once you choose, that's it.
you have to be able to see it to choose it.
once you choose the thing your religion is to be based upon you can then use your knife to carve wooden totems(wood colored sprites) of the thing you chose.
There more totems you place around the station the more people can know the glory of your chosen religion.
you can then smoke your herbs to enter into the dream world. (There MUST be at least one totem in order for this to work)
It's essentially a psychedelic natural version of VR.
anybody who smokes the ayahuasca herb can enter this realm.(it wouldn't be abused because you have to lie down and sleep on a bed in order for it to work)
ghosts can visit this world too and appear as spirit versions of the thing you chose.
Anything they say is randomized nonsense based around the thing you chose too.
So here's some examples of what you'd see:
"Shaman of Lightly fried loofah"
"Shaman of reinforced wall"
"Shaman of Officer Beepsky"
"Totem of Space"
"Totem of ill looking fellow's left eye"
"Totem of tank transfer valve"
"The spirit of rancid milk says "The prophecys of rancid milk are becometh unto the purple engineer"
"The spirit of uqill rods whispers "keep your eyes working for uqill rods will watch."
"The spirit of Space bear speaks " The world is dire and has forgotten space bear"
If you chose to be a shaman you'd receive...
I think this idea would work well as it plays very well into the emergent gameplay side of ss13

If you chose to be a shaman you'd receive...
- a set of Shaman's robes (come in any color you desire)
- A Magical Shaman's knife & 5 planks of wood(ask botany for more wood)
- a bag of ayahuasca herb and seeds(botany has to get them from you if they want them)
- a pipe - you can stuff any herbs in here.(might want to trade botany some weed for those precious seeds you have)
- a drum(which you can play and probably get beaten up for playing)
