Legendary Artifact

Leviathan-Mech V.1

Created and held by Rob Bott Spinne.
This Mech can't be mistaken for anything else when deployed. It is big and bulky with alot of firepower. A bit slow compared to most vehichles but it makes up for in terms of firepower

The Mech stands at an imposing 15 feet tall. Its frame is bulky and heavily armored, designed to withstand significant damage. The Mech’s hands are posable, with strong, articulated fingers capable of gripping and manipulating objects. The flamethrower and rifle are mounted on the arms, integrated perfectly into the design. Though the Mech is slower than other vehicles, its movements are deliberate and powerful, allowing for balance with its bulky frame. When the Mech moves on its own, it displays a degree of autonomy and intelligence. It can navigate and take actions independently, demonstrating a mix of precision and strategy.

In its collapsed state, this Artifact takes the form of a large, intricate necklace. The necklace is composed of interlocking metal segments with a sleek, modern design, featuring subtle engravings and etchings. Upon activation, the necklace begins to unfold rapidly. The interlocking segments detach and expand, pieces shifting and rotating into place with a series of precise mechanical movements. This process takes just a few seconds, accompanied by a series of clicks and whirs.

This Artifact can be used as a Mech. It is roughly the same size as a Mech but can be collapsed into A necklace and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

This Mech has posable hands, A flamethrower, a rifle, and thick armor.. Any roll to pilot this vehicle receives +2 dice.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Drive-By: You may drive or pilot your vehicle as a Free Action, without taking any penalty on other Actions.
  • Mind of its Own: This vehicle can move and take Actions without you driving it. It has seven dice for all Drive rolls.
  • Flying Solo: Your vehicle cannot have any passengers.

  • If there is not enough free space to expand the object, it cannot be expanded. You cannot expand this Object as an attack.

When the Recycling Nano-Bots are activated, the user wears a sleek necklace with a small, pendant-like device that hums quietly, emitting a soft blue glow. The user touches the pendant, expending a point of Battery, and the glow intensifies, spreading out in a thin, shimmering wave that envelops the dead target. The process takes one minute, during which the target's body slowly animates, twitching at first, then moving with more purpose

Expend a point of Battery and spend one minute. Select a Dead target within arm's reach that has died within the last month.

Your target rises as an Animate being. The raised creature is totally mindless, with no memory of its past life or hint of its old personality. They cannot communicate. They will follow any command you speak.

The creature lasts for eight hours or until it dies again. It is revived at full health. Any Injuries it had in life are not accounted for when determining its penalties or progression towards re-death, though they may affect its ability to perform certain actions at GM's discretion.

Raised creatures have all their Abilities set to 0. Their Charisma and Intellect are set to 1, but their Dexterity, Brawn and Perception are the same as they had in life. A raised creature cannot use any Effects.

Your revived targets deal 2 Weapon Damage with their unarmed attacks.

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

Smith's Hammer

Created and held by Smith Banquod.
A high-tech-looking hammer that can fold in on itself for more convenient carrying or smuggling.

Red Rain Runner

Created and held by Love Runner.
A YZF-R1 Yamaha supersport motorcycle that looks just slightly unfinished, though it's impossible to place why. The eye-searingly red paintjob is wind blasted and scraped up, but the construction is solid and the bike sounds as rambunctious as it looks.

With a rev of the engine and a belch of red tinted smoke, Red Rain Runner roars to life. While active, it rumbles, loud and obnoxious, though always just quiet enough that its rider can converse over it. It is built to draw attention and perform stunts. And oh how it longs to do both...

This Artifact can be used as a supersport motorcycle. It is roughly the same size as a supersport motorcycle but can be collapsed into a shark tooth necklace and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

This supersport motorcycle has shock absorbing suspension, reinforced tires, and a storage compartment under the seat. Any roll to pilot this vehicle receives +2 dice.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Afterburner: Your vehicle has a 25% faster top speed and you may Exert your Mind to accelerate to its top speed in a single Round.

Anyone who touches this Artifact will notice it warping their mind and may drop it. If they choose to hold or use it, they immediately receive the following Trauma: Speed Demon - While on this artifact, you must roll Self-Control to resist accelerating to max speed down any notably long straightaway (roads, hallways, open fields, ect).

Rubber gloves

Created and held by Brie.
Shoulder length black gloves

Brie shapes a meatball digs eyes and a smile into the ball then throws it. The meat starts shifting and pulsing expanding itself into a humanoid shape

Viper

Created by Luci Alessi, given to Prototype.
Master-Crafted Vindicare Assassin Sniper Rifle. (https://enki_meow.artstation.com/projects/KBrXG)

The guiding hand that knows all things from the Umbral Plane assists Luci, mostly in regards to her aim while altering the actual trajectory of her bullets with what is essentially an aimbot.

You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact and engaged in combat with firearms.

+2 dice to all firearms rolls.

Anyone who touches this Artifact will notice it warping their mind and may drop it. If they choose to hold or use it, they immediately receive the following Trauma: The user hallucinates the shadows of their regret, shame, and disappointment related to her own actions and those she has killed. They will need to roll self control to not wash that that from their own hands whenever the opportunity presents itself. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Bullet Parry: You may Defend against any attack in range of your attacks. Defending this way still costs a Reaction.
  • Point Control: Called Shots that you attempt only require a Contested Outcome of 2 for small targets and 4 for tiny targets.

The process takes quite a bit of time, as Luci must properly bind this object to its ideal image by bathing it in The Well. A process that, if witnessed by a normal person, would likely result in some minor traumatic occurrences. Luci watches over the item the entire time to make sure it is not swallowed up into the inky mess. A lengthy sweat-inducing endeavor, but by its end, when Luci pulls the item from the reservoir, it is all worth it.

The items in question will sport a dark tint on the paint job and if Luci desires it, she can make its primary or secondary colors as dark as she wants. The symbol of The Well, a front facing Kraken with its tentacles curled out symmetrically, will appear somewhere visibly on the item, marking it as improved.

Idealism was always thought to exist solely in concept, to associate reality with mental ideals as opposed to material objects. That somewhere in the cosmic lands above, a perfect image of this "thing" exists, and only its material imitations are founded in "reality". But what if a material object could be elevated closer to the status of its ideal perfect image? A question Luci had asked herself for a period, and while it took some time, she managed to find a way.

This Artifact has been upgraded.

This Artifact receives 3 extra dice to all actions taken for its intended use. Attacking with an upgraded weapon grants +3 Weapon Damage instead of additional dice. While it is upgraded, the item cannot be destroyed.

Upgraded weapons count as any material your opponent might be particularly vulnerable to. Upgraded Armor cannot be circumvented by called shots. Upgraded Devices do not run out of fuel or energy.

  • "Destroyed" in this context means "prevented from functioning for its primary purpose", so for instance, an upgraded land mine would still explode as normal if triggered, even though it cannot be "destroyed" and a car's windows may still be broken.
  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used. The same is true for extra dice.
  • Extra dice from this Effect do not apply to Gift activation rolls.

Luci's firearms are typically very overturned and overdesigned. She's secretly a huge comic book fan and her new revelations in regards to her ability to create items using the energies of The Well have opened up the ability for her slightly childish imagination to go wild with possibilities.

When the weapon changes forms, it momentarily becomes a formless amalgamation of thick ink that would sink between the user's fingers if the process of reforming didn't take quicker than a second to complete.

Luci takes an exceptional amount of time sketching out a full blueprint for the weapon of her desire- typically inspired designs from comics or movies that she personally finds cool. She spends time manifesting the item through the use of her own shadows, however she takes extra time to refine the details and give the firearm its own personality. Each and every single one of these has a little bit of Luci and her creative intent inside of them.

Her initials as the creator are imprinted on the side of the firearm.

This Artifact can be used as a heavy sniper rifle. It is roughly the same size as a heavy sniper rifle and just as difficult to conceal.

  • Infinite Ammo: This weapon never runs out of its standard ammunition.
  • You may spend a Quick Action to change this firearm's base stats into those of any other basic firearm.
  • Silencer: Shots you fire can be made silent at will.

  • Changing this weapon's base type affects its range, Weapon Damage, concealability, and roll. Other mechanics of the chosen base firearm (such as the tripod requirement for sniper rifles) apply.
  • Reminder: additional Weapon Damage granted by this Effect does not stack with any other bonus to Weapon Damage. Instead the largest bonus is used.
  • Rifles are +1 Difficulty to use in melee range. Sniper Rifles are +3 Difficulty to use without a tripod or in melee range. Setting up a tripod takes an Action.
