Slitterhead A spirit wearing strangers' bodies

Hyoki has no body of his own, so he borrows. Anyone walking the streets of Kowlong can become your hands: slip into a passerby to cross a barrier, wear a specific identity to walk into an organization that would kill you otherwise, or leap from person to person to cross the city at speed. Bodies are tools, and the game treats them that way. You can jump off a rooftop, swap to a new host mid-fall, and land on the street while the old one does not. Human bodies are fragile, so the real question is always which one to spend, and when to leave it. In a city where monsters look like everyone else, every possession is also a gamble about who, or what, you just climbed into.

When a Slitterhead corners you, a fragile human body will not last long on fists alone. So you burn your host's life force and turn blood itself into a weapon. Wounded badly? Switch hosts mid-fight and keep going, treating the panicked bystanders around you as a rotating squad. Certain humans, the Rarities, sync deeply with Hyoki and unlock far stronger attacks and special abilities, and choosing which of them to bring on a mission shapes how every fight plays out. Bad positioning gets punished fast, so knowing which bodies are worth protecting and which are disposable is the whole strategy. At its best, it feels like commanding a squad of monster hunters while ricocheting between them like something demonic.
