Protective Sentispace

undefined:

A protective sentispace is a sentient headspace who acts as a protector to a living being, especially to those with whom it shares a symbiotic connection. This means the entity will take actions to secure the living beings away from threats/dangers.

This role is a subterm of the Regulator role. It often cumulates this subterm with other subterms as well.

Types of protective actions
Here are examples of actions that a protective sentispace may take:
 * Electrical charges: for example, if a headmate with malicious intents enters in contact with another headmate that does not realize what is happening, the protective sentispace may decide to send a literal electrical charge to the malicious headmate to keep them away.
 * Force fields: similarly, if a headmate with malicious intents tries to initiate contact with a target, the protective sentispace may decide to generate a force field preventing the headmate to go further.
 * Transmission: the protective sentispace may simply communicate with its problem to solve it before anything happens.
 * Acting as a summoner: the protective sentispace may summon a malicious headmate to another place (i.e, teleport them) to prevent them from getting to a place/person.
 * Acting as a fluidspace / mimic-space: the protective sentispace may temporarily confuse/mess with a headmate to prevent them from harming somebody, by changing its space brutally without notice / acting as a different space (e.g, putting the headmate in one they do not want to be in).
 * Acting as a space-architect: the protective sentispace may reshape several parts of its headspace to complexify/prevent the progression of a threat to its target, sometimes to the point of damaging its space in the process.
 * Creating backup through Symbio-PCs: the protective sentispace may create several NPCs and control them as Symbio-PCs to overwhelm/overpower a threat, mostly in order to protect a symbiotic.
 * etc.
