The Alien Mind

Strange. Collective. At once social and solitary. Seductive, but without humane standards. It will take from others the control for their minds and bodies, and forge them into weapons for its grand design.

The question for the Alien is Identity. In its natural state, is more than any single body. It is a purpose, bigger than life, uniting legions being no one. But its also formless. Anonimous. Impersonal. Transcending the “illusion” of human identity, there’s a meaningless carcass beyond the words of greatness.

But your body isn’t you. That’s an illusion. You’re far more, far stranger than the people that can really give you meaning. How to live among the masses you should guide? Can you know between them, who are you? Can you live without them, in the void?

You define your nature and infection with The Hive. Contagious Disease and Purulent Skin are two facets of the same thing: contagion through violence.

Migraine is a mental condition that makes you the mind of the Hive. while Parasitic Infestation defines you as more than your body, apart from it. Tempting and scary at the same time.

Inhuman Objective gives a sense of meaning to your existence. But, in the end, is just a hollow couple of words, giving you equally hollow tasks that entertain you just enough to negate your own self-destruction.

I Am Many, Specialyzed Minions and Madness Network make you able to work through your Hive, using them as an extension of the disease you are.

See My Children, Hive Queen and Inhuman Horde make you able to work with others, but in a hollowed manner: behind a seemingly united group, there are only you. A collective creature ultimately alone.

Body-Jumper is the ultimate invasion, making your Hive an extension of yourself by the cost of loosing them and yourself to the maelstrom of changing identities.

SEX MOVE:

When you have sex with someone, they gain the Condition INFECTED. While the Condition remains, they count as part of your Hive.

DARKEST SELF:

Spread, thrive and act. Enough of trying to accept this cancer on the face of Earth called Humanity. What the world needs is the next stage on evolution, and you are here to bring it. More than that. You ARE it. Live by your Inhuman Objective or take opportunities to spread yourself, whatever seems the best right now.

You leave your Darkest Self when something or someone make you remember that you are an individual, and that a world made only of you is a change for the worst.

BACKSTORY:

Name three characters that are part of your Hive. You have 1 String on each of them, and each of them have 1 String on you.

There are someone that can be either a boon or a threat to your Inhuman Objective, and you studies that person. She takes 1 String on you, and you takes 2 Strings on her.

—GIVEN THE HOUR, I’LL PUT THE MOVES LATER—

I’m working on a skin, mostly based on the Queen and a bit on the Ghoul, for a living infection.

I’m working on a skin, mostly based on the Queen and a bit on the Ghoul, for a living infection. The idea is to explore the concept of identity with a character that can’t claim not even his own body as himself. For now, I would like to see how to work the text into a nice page… I already have a first draft (tough I have to translate from portuguese to english).
