From the doc:
Like LE, Lord Neo is a kind of parasite. His race, the Scionfestors, are brood parasites, which means they trick host species into raising their young for them. This in and of itself would not be remarkable. To use earth species as examples, cuckoos and cowbirds are brood parasites, and quite common. The thing that makes Scionfestors such a huge threat isn’t their sapience, but their incredible adaption skills. Young Scionfestors are shape-shifters, and will change in form to resemble the host species, which is the intelligent species on the given planet they infest. All but a few special ‘eldritch’ Scionfestors lose their shape-shifting talents once they’re past infancy, and live relatively normal, uneventful lives, never knowing what they are or that the price paid for their life is a dead infant.
When uncharted meteors fall, signaling the beginning of a session, the eldritch scionfestor will go into a dormant state, shape-shifting into a harmless, inanimate looking form. They’ll use mild telepathic suggestions to get picked up by a player, thus entering the medium. Once in the medium, they use a one-shot time-travelling power to shift further back, setting up shop and using the creative energies of Skaia to produce eggs, some of which are seeded into the belongings of Dersites and Prospitians so that they can infest the exile town. Once the players have defeated the black king (sometimes with the direct help of the Scionfestor), the eldritch scionfestor kills them and steals the reward, seeding the eggs through the planets in the new universe. The eggs will hatch upon arrival of an intelligent species, but sometimes a scionfestor will kidnap a host parent from the session to raise a generation for them.
Ocasionally the genesis frog’s immune system will ‘sense’ and try to counteract the infestation, in which case intelligent species tend to develop very convoluted reproduction methods, such as trolls. In the case of the troll, Scionfestors merely infected drones, instead, continuing the cycle.

Discussion on Doc Net and Lord Neo will now COMMENCE. [/large ham] First order of business is to tell me if I've got the right/enough description here.

Looks good to me! The basic idea is that Lord English is this big, scary, unimaginably powerful threat, whereas Lord Neo, our session's villian, is...about as important as a tape worm, in the long run, yet still manages to be a threat. If that makes sense?

Sort of, but not totally.

Lord Neo is much further down on the mutliversal scale of importance compared to Lord English, but is a huge and looming immediate danger.

I was against the idea of the scionfestors at first, but..you know, I can see this as a really cool, different idea now that I've..erm..just read the thing over again. And maybe this is an entirely different reaction to this than intended, but I see the fight with the scionfester being an '..aw, fuck' moment, and then a sort of courageous second wind and pep talk amongst themselves, THEN a desperate battle while on their last legs...pity there's no Sylph or Life player to provide healing.
