While this may be seen as a little silly and unnecessary , Trust me , it isn't.
Drone behavior :
Do note that is a alien (film) fan writing this.
These aliens are the less aggressive of the caste.
They act as the main working force of the hive , and as such , they are rarely seen outside of it.
Drones , when forced to fight , prefer to use more stealth and tactics , rather than the aggression of the other castes.
Drones will defend the hive , only when the main force of Warriors and Sentinels have fallen.
As such , those are some guidelines :
- As a drone , do not go patroling the station in search of prey. thats the Warriors job.
- As a drone , do not charge any enemy you see head-on. where possible , use stealth , and deception , to capture your prey.
- You are not superior to other castes. De facto , you are the lower caste in the hive.
- Your duty is to build , help the queen hatch eggs , and tend to the larvas. Nothing else. If there is no hive work to be done, you would normally just assist the queen in general or if there was a lack of other castes, you would be the ones hunting for prey but this rarely happens.
- Drones have a far superior inteligence than warriors and sentinels , as such , using the "whisper" verb and acting like a inteligent creature is reccomended.
- You are free to walk around the station -to smash lights- or to recover prey that was already captured by warriors.
Warrior behavior :
The warrior is the main battle-force of the hive.
As such , he is the first one to charge and capture -any- prey.
Warriors will often work in groups to ambush and overwhelm prey, though they are perfectly deadly even on their own.
Here are some guidelines for the warrior :
- You are powerful, but don't get cocky. Use your agility AND strength to your advantage.
- Warriors are the less intelligent caste in the hive (no offense , oh dear.) , act as such.
- Warriors tend to hunt in small groups or solitary, they can mass in larger groups, also with other heavier castes (Ravager for example) to overwhelm a heavy enemy force if necessary.
- Warriors are to patrol and search the outskirts of the station , in search of any form of prey.
- Warriors tackle and charge\pounce any prey. being it a armored marine , or a harmless monkey.
- Warriors should retire immediately to the hive , if the queen is under attack.
- Warriors are -not- to camp the hive for the whole round. That is the sentinels job.
- You are to answer all xenos from a superior caste.
- The queen can decide to give a warrior the role of "Xeno Commander". Yes , this is lore-friendly.
This is kind of an odd one , since there is no such things as sentinels , lore-wise.
The sentinel is the protector of the hive. His role is simple , protect the hive , and the drones.
As such , those are the basic guidelines , to play as one :
- Youre a Sentinel , as your name tell you. As such , you are not to wander the hallways scrambling for survivors\Marines. Neither to go monkey hunting.
- You are not the queen personal guard. But you are the drones and hive guard , as such , your better placement would be in the most-external outskirts of the station , protecting the drones while they work.
- The Sentinel Attack pattern is very similar to the one of the drone , stealthy and tactics. Due to their spit a sentinel should prefer to attack targets at range , and drag them back to the hive.
- The Sentinel Is not a Hunter\Warrior. As such , he shount run behind a prey that is fleeing whitout being infected.
- On that note , is the sentinels job to make sure that nested prey dont escape in any form or way.
- Due to your high plasma reserve , and good resistance , you can act as a simil-field medic , and heal downed aliens. REMEMBER TO DRAG THEM BACK TO THE HIVE.
- Dont let your role as a guard get over your head. Aliens have no grades , and unless you want to be bitten to death , do not start giving orders around.
- Sentinels answer to the Xenomorph Commander.
- Do not run around smashing lights and windows. Thats the drones job. Protect the drones doing so.
- You arent a drone. Dont help the queen hatching eggs. please.
- You are one of the few aliens that can "camp" the hive for the whole round , use that advantage to evolve as fast as you can.
- When the queen is under attack , you and the warriors must rush to her aid. whatever you are doing.
Larvae behaviour
Oddly enough , we need this too.
The larvae is the second stage of life in the xenomorph lifecycle.
Small , and weak , they tend to hide at first impression of danger.
When confronted , larva's use their teeth's to take down the hostiles legs.
As such , those are some Larvae guidelines
- The larvae is small and weak. Run away from everything big and dangerous. Being it another alien , or a humanoid.
- The Larva loves to hide. As such , the Hide button is your best friend , RP and Gameplay wise.
- Larva's tent to stay near their mother at all times , untill grown
- A larva will never attempt to charge an enemy. While proving no fear or any other emotion , like all aliens , their instict of self-preservation instruct them to hide in the hive.
- Larvas are the only aliens that have permission to act in childish ways (Remember Xenomorph rule 1.) due to their nature.
- A Larva grown in lab might end up being semi-friendly whit humanoids , due to being grown in captivity and away from the hivemind. The minus , is that they will most probably never evolve . (Ahelp , if you are gonna RP this. Also , as a reminder , your host needs to be captured to RP a similar scenario .)
I will continue adding the advanced caste evolution's later on. now I'm out of energy to keep typing in readable English.
