Legendary Artifact

A Rider's Best Friend

Created and held by Maxwell Fawkes.
The silluoette of the massive white pistol will raise some eyebrows, it being jet black and having a white cross on it with gold accents. They look like something out of a video game, but watch out, this massive handcannon will deal insane damage if you arent careful.

This artifact, hefty, looks intimidating as the wielder would pull back the hammer and readies up a round, as the shots ring out, they look explosive, with the round ripping through the armor of the one who tried to combat him, he isn't taking anymore mercy...

This Artifact can be used as a handgun. It is roughly the same size as a handgun but can be collapsed into White and Gold Cross Necklace and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

Inferno gauntlet

Created and held by Alice chashh.
a blood red gauntlet that has a hard exterior and demonic feeling to it radiating a dark energy

When activated this red blood energy starts to grow like weeds up her arm growing into her skin and this red blood armor forms on her with a helmet and everything giving her the look of a demon

You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.

You have 4, which reduces incoming damage from all sources of physical attack except explosions. Armor from multiple sources does not stack.

You may spend an Action or Reaction and Exert your Mind to double your Armor rating for one Round.

Your Armor cannot be destroyed, and it always provides a minimum of 2 Armor regardless of any Armor shredding or penetration. It cannot be circumvented with Called Shots. When shredded, it returns to full potency in one hour.

  • This Effect’s Armor rating cannot be increased by any other Effects.

Trifold Frame

Created and held by Bryan Bosch.
A marvel of artistic ingenuity, providing the function of an impossibly flexible, additional arm. It can be quickly equipped and removed through a series of clasps that attach themselves to the user's torso. The exterior is crafted from a reinforced, tensile layer of carbon fiber resistant to wear and damage. Golden circuitry runs along the surface of the arm, branching into intricate fractal patterns. Its internals consist of a complex suspension system supported by wiring and origami folds in the three primary joints, as well as a series of advanced, technological components. On the back of the hand is a signature written in cursive gold, reading "bb."

After attaching the frame to their torso, the user must activate and sync the arm's internal operative systems with the neurological activity responsible for their own limbs-- requiring extensive input from the mind, voice, and body. The golden circuitry running across the chassis ripple with energy during this process. While in use, its origami folds are able to stretch, bend, and morph to fit the user's desired movements.
The calibration sequence to connect the arm requires the user to move around their joints (shoulders, elbows, and wrists) and read aloud a pangram (ex: "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog").

The systems powering and controlling the arm are an intricate mix of various power sources all synchronizing together. Specifically, they are the culmination of its creator taking influence from his peers, a spatial mage and technomancer, to achieve the final result of a fully functional additional limb.
These include arm's handcrafted, moving folds (of which three are responsible for the core joint movement of a shoulder/elbow/wrist), the golden circuits that connect to the user's mind (branching into a sprawling, fractal pattern across the arm and acting as a signal booster/receiver for all the energy), and the internal technological programming (which are carefully integrated to run with the rest of the arm's systems).
The use of a pangram enables the internal systems to more easily find specific parts of the brain to connect to and the movement of the joints calibrate the arm's motions as well.
The arm's three primary folds, alongside the three sources of power (magic, technology, and clockwork-level crafting), serve as a double entendre inspiring the gift's final name.

Expend a point of Battery and spend two Actions performing the following ritual: activating and calibrating the arms with the user. You must maintain Concentration while activating this Effect, and it fails if you are interrupted.

You gain an additional limb that functions as a standard human arm and hand. Lasts two hours.

Each additional limb you posses can take one Quick Action per Round without incurring a -2 dice penalty to your main Action. Each additional appendage you have gives you +1 dice to make and resist Grapples (up to a maximum bonus of +4 dice).

Any Battle Scars that affect or remove your additional limb will heal in a single week.

Your appendage is capable of bending and squishing in normally-impossible ways. It may fit through any gap that is not water-tight and retain its functionality.

Your extra appendage can stretch to reach an additional 30 feet.

Your extra appendage is not connected to your nervous or circulatory systems, and you will not take damage if it is hit by an attack or destroyed.

Your Extra Appendage counts as an object and can be hacked or targeted by any Powers that affect objects or machines. Injuries to your Extra Appendage cannot be healed by Powers that affect living things but may be repaired during Downtime.

  • You may stretch, retract, or move your limbs 30 feet once per Round.

Gym bag

Created by Victoria Bellenara, given to Faira Lenora McDougall.
Currently At home.
A normal looking gym bag

Just an ordinary foot bag, or trunk, or backpack... okay, not so ordinary.

This Artifact can be used as a container. It is roughly the same size as a foot bag and just as difficult to conceal.

Your foot bag holds 30 times what it normally could. Objects stored inside are weightless.

Living things can be stored in your foot bag. They will have access to anything else inside and may attempt to break free, damaging or destroying the foot bag in the process.

If your foot bag is destroyed, things inside may get out, and it will cease to function until it is repaired.

When scanned or investigated without opening, the contents of your container appear normal and unremarkable.

  • There is no cost to use your container.

Coat of the Traveler

Created and held by Jorge.
A Coat fit for a great merchant! That being you. Your pockets and the sort are three times as deep, and if anybody asks... IT ISN'T ANY OF THEIR BUSINESS!

The inside of your pockets and storage appear to be somewhat deeper than they should be, allowing you to shove many more trinkets and baubles into your stash.

This Artifact holds 3 times what it normally could inside of it. Objects stored inside are weightless.

Living things can be stored in this Artifact. They will have access to anything else inside and may attempt to break free, damaging or destroying the Artifact in the process.

If this Artifact is destroyed, things inside may get out, and it will cease to function until it is repaired.

When scanned or investigated without opening, the contents of this container appear normal and unremarkable.

If anyone other than you opens the container, it appears empty. Others can still destroy it to get at the contents.

  • A container of holding cannot be placed inside another created by the same Gift.
  • There is no cost to use this container.

AMP UP Suit

Created and held by Osh Anderson.
A highly advanced orange and turqouise armored suit. It looks like a regular AMP suit at first, but on closer inspection has a slight bulge on the suit's back and a more heavily armored visor.

This armored suit is composed of brightly colored orange and turqouise armor plating over a complex nanofiber weave. It has sleek protrusions on its shoulders and back, as well as a small one on its domed cranial casing. There are no visible seams, but the joints are covered in a high tech flexible weave, and it doesn't add the bulk that would be expected to its wearer's silhouette.

The Armored Maintenance Personnel - Universal Protection Suit is a significantly enhanced AMP suit designed to offer comprehensive protection and convenience beyond the capabilities of its baseline model. The AMP suit is an armored environmental protection suit issued to safety engineers expected to regularly work in hazardous environments without reliable access to logistical support. It represents a compromise between the protection of an industrial spacesuit and the functionality of ordinary wear: while unsuited to operation in the Void for any length of time, the AMP suit provides ample protection against mechanical failures, crush impacts, and - if necessary - hostile interactions with other crew members who have reason to want what the engineer has. The AMP UP suit has been modified to include an internal O2 store which lasts up to 6 hours of internal operation, as well as an integrated air compressor capable of refueling the internal O2 over 24 hours of downtime in an oxygenated environment. It also has a full internal air conditioning and atmospheric filtration system, protecting its wearer from common toxins and atmospheric contaminants without needing to engage the atmospheric isolation mode. It has an integrated camera on its helmet and and armored visor, and its internal membranes are redundantly reinforced to ensure that even if the suit is extremely badly damaged, it will still be able to perform its environmental protection functions. It has also been installed with a Telepathically Entangled Security Translocation (TEST) system keyed to Osh's psychometric profile which allows them to, by focusing on envisioning the sensation of the suit encasing their body, summon it to themselves over any distance. The suit provides 3 armor.

This Artifact cannot be broken. If this Artifact is lost and in no one else’s possession, it finds its way back to its true owner during the next Downtime.

By default, the creator of this Artifact is its true owner. The true owner may formally bequeath this Artifact onto another person within arm’s reach, after which they are its true owner. If the true owner dies or is destroyed, their ownership ends. If this Artifact has no true owner, anyone may spend one day attuning to it to become its true owner.

If this Artifact is in no one else’s possession, its true owner may Exert their Mind and spend two Actions to bring it to themselves.

  • "Cannot be broken" means that damage cannot render the Artifact's Effects unusable, nor can it cease to be used for its primary mundane purpose, if it has one.

Umbrella Identification

This Artifact can change its appearance. When not transformed, it is roughly the same size as a passport but can be collapsed into a wallet and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

Spend a Quick Action to activate. This Artifact changes its appearance into a chosen Object. This lasts until you decide to end the Effect, which may be done as a Free Action.

The new object's appearance can mimic specific items (such as a particular painting, a certain person’s ID, etc), but must be of a similar size and weight to this Artifact.

The new appearance is illusory; it will hold up to scrutiny, but its composition is not altered and it gains no new functionality. Any attempt to use it for a function which it cannot perform (for instance, making bread look like a knife and then trying to stab someone) will cause the illusion to fail or allow a Perception check to see through the illusion, at the GM's discretion.

When used as identification and scanned, the scanner will act appropriately and bring up appropriate generic information. Further searches for the identity in the computer will turn up no results. This will not open security doors on its own.

  • If there is not enough free space to expand the object, it cannot be expanded. You cannot expand this Object as an attack.
  • Changing the Artifact’s appearance does not allow you to conceal its Alien nature while any of its other Effects are in use.
