Guardians is an overarching term used to describe entities which attach themselves to a host and assist that host while drawing energy from them. The most commonly encountered form of guardian is the holoparasite, a creature designed by the Syndicate to assist their field operatives during missions. Guardians spirits are able to link themselves to nearly every known species, however they cannot attach themselves to a Changeling. Because guardians are reliant on the energy of their host to exist, most cannot travel more than a couple meters away from their host at any time.

Guardians and YOU!

Guardians will always be attached to a living person, and normally that person is also up to some traitorous activities. When a guardian is attacked, the damage it receives is transferred to its host. This means that if you spot someone standing off in a corner suspiciously taking damage while a nearby guardian is in combat, you have likely found the guardian's host. When a host is killed, the guardian drawing life force from him/her also dies.

Abilities

All guardian creatures have access to a similar set of abilities, with each different sub-type of guardian having some ability unique to them as well.

Action	Description
Communicate	Telepathically communicate with a host. All hosts also have this ability.
Manifest	The guardian enters into a physical form, allowing it to attack and interact with its surroundings.
Recall	The guardian immediately returns to its host. A host can also force their guardian to return to them.
Toggle Mode	For guardian types who have a secondary form, swaps the abilities available to it.
Toggle Light	Generates a small amount of light originating from the guardian's core.

Guardian Types

Guardians can be divided into five subtypes and can be summoned in one of three ways. Magical decks of tarot cards can be used summon a spirit from beyond the veil to aid you. These decks are most commonly found in the possession of members of the wizard federation. Holoparasite injectors created by the Syndicate and purchased with a traitor uplink can be used to manifest a nanomachine based creature. Lastly, a swarm of parasitic insects can take up residence within an individual forming a nest within them. Unhatched eggs of these insects are sometimes found around asteroids.
