Body and Host

When a foreign entity like that of a Symbiote, Body Snatcher, Puppeteer Parasite, or even a Hacker (when regarding machines like robots and computers) enters/outright hijacks a body, the possessed subject becomes what is usually called: the Host.

It's not as dirty as it looks.

The basic purpose of the host varies on what the point was for it to have been hijacked in the first place. Sometimes it's used as a disguise, other times it's used as a decoy and destraction, even simply being used as a weapon and piece of armor that the possessor uses to cause sheer chaos and destruction, but sometimes...a host can be used for Fetish Fuel.

For details on the passive/aggressive relationships a Host can have with its "Guest," view The Symbiote. Has absolutely zilch to do with The Host.

Tropes used in Body and Host include:

• Meat Puppet: the basic and most common Host, always being biological in origin.
  • Big Dumb Body - A meat puppet that holds little intelligence, but is desirable for its physical prowess and durability.
  • Empty Shell - A Host that's without resistance from being taken over.
  • Heroic Host - a Host that gets "powers" or "abilites" from their guest(s).
  • Living Bodysuit - when a host is chosen as a disguise for reasons of secrecy and espionage.
  • Two Siblings in One - When a sibling lives on within you...literally.
  • Wetware Body - a biological body possessed by a computer.
  • Willing Channeler - a Host who "wants" to be controlled, or at least isn't against having his/her body used by someone (or something) else.
• Mechanical Shell: A host who's mechanical or has a digital representation within cyberspace.
  • Wetware CPU - A computer possessed by the mind of a (once) living creature.
  • Hacked Cyborg - An arguably hybrid host who is mechanical enough that their body can be hacked into, and manipulated, either manually or remotely. Can also be biologically possessed in some cases.
• Haunted Fetter: An inanimate object or place that is possessed by a ghost or spirit as a way of binding itself to the realm of the living.
  • Haunted Technology: A machine with a ghost/spirit in it!
