Symin’s Squatters

The ever dour Symin is constantly exasperated by the adoration of their human Squatter partisans. Symin is a Lick-kin, a sentient being grown from Lichen and a tree. The Lichen makes the “flesh” whilst the living wood acts as bones. Lich-kin take on many forms some similar to animals and plants whilst others may be abstract. Symin takes on a vaguely humanoid shape.

The Squatter partisans adore andemulate Lich-kin. They grow lichen on their skin and have formed a symbiotic relationship with their colony. They have highly honed abilities in camouflage & patience. They make a brilliant, if contrasting, group of snipers.

LICH-SKIN: The SQUATTER PARTISANS combine their skin with the best Lichen colony they can find. This lichen acts as camouflage and produces energy via photosynthesis. The Lichen gains resources and a suitable substrate to live upon.

SQUATTER PARTISANS can change the colour of their lich-skin to match the local flora. They are indistinguishable from lichen in sight (visible & thermal) and smell when they lay still.

OMNIPRESENT: SYMIN is a master of camouflage. As a Lich-kin made of Lichen and wood they easily blend into any areas with vegetation, able to change their appearance in colour and texture.

Consisting of tree, fungi, and algae they can sense the world through these organisms. Whilst touching a tree, fungi, or algae it can sense the world through their networks up to a distance of 100m.

ANTI-MATERIEL weapon tag: Deals double DAMAGE to vehicles and structures; cumbersome to carry around. (F:UE)
