Digital Parasite

Cost: 25 SP

Required: Parasite

Required: Infomorph

Hybrid of both physical and digital, the Digital Parasite has the capability to download biological material as pure information. Still maintaining the hosts’s tangible form, it is indistinguishable from its physical counterpart, somehow able to be both real and abstract at the same time. As your nature is not only digital but also biological, you have an intuitive knowledge of biology beyond that of even highly experienced biological engineers.

Due to their natural state of fluctuating between real and abstract, they may selectively choose which parts of their form obey certain laws of physics, allowing them to phase through matter and even become physically invulnerable at the cost of being able to be disrupted by EMPs similar to a pure Infomorph. This also allows for translocation somewhere else, manifesting as a holographic projection turned tangible.

When a Digital Parasite downloads biological material, it naturally organizes the information it gathers into a blueprint resembling the original form the material was in. Due to the innate nature of a Digital Parasite, it may manipulate this blueprint into another form, but the more different the form is from any of its previously downloaded blueprints, the more processing power it requires to change.

Downloading an organism even causes it to learn any information that’s stored in a biological manner, such as a brain, and converts it digitally, making it able to be stored and manipulated by the Digital Parasite. This allows the Digital Parasite to copy the host’s innate mental and psychic abilities in addition to their biological ones, as they originate from the mind.
