Trap

A Trap is a manifestation of Formless Darkness in a Sad Star Soldier, appearing as a crimson scarf around the neck (although this isn’t always the case). The Trap is actually a living symbiote bred from the Alpha Strain of Formless Darkness.

The Trap symbiote gives the host the ability to manifest his/her powers in exchange for its continued existed by sharing its host’s life.

Removing the trap is impossible due to the fact that it reintegrates the host’s organic to suit its mainstay in the host’s body. However, in cases where the SSS transmigrates into a Hell Angel or becomes repurposed by Cancellers, the trap vanishes.
