Your fursuit isn’t clothing.
It isn’t armor.
It’s a living body — a second skin of synthetic fur, reinforced hide, and hidden machinery —
grown around you like a biological exoskeleton.

The bulk of it — the Gio frame — forms a core spine inside the fursuit, housing motors, servos, compressed air bladders, and liquid muscle that flexes with your movements.
It wraps around your arms, legs, chest, and back — internal, not external — powering every lunge, every sprint, every leap.

You don’t sit on the machine.
You don’t ride it.
You and it are the same creature.

The fursuit’s paws hide motorized wheels and amphibious drive systems beneath their pads —
letting you run across the land faster than any natural beast,
or dive into water and slice through it like an apex predator,
all while still moving on your own legs.

When you act,
the machine doesn’t respond to commands.
It responds to instincts.

You feel the buzz of artificial muscles tightening under the fake fur, the flex of reinforced ankles pushing you faster, the brief pressure release as internal air systems adjust to keep you balanced at any speed.

When you Roar, when you Track, when you Hunt —
it’s not a fursuit and a machine and a human.
It’s one body, one will, one wolf.

If you abandon it, it doesn’t just shut down —
it withers like a starved beast, curling into itself and dying, because without your soul driving it, it cannot survive.

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

This Segway has Key Features: • Hidden spring wheels in the thick soles of the feet. • Manual movement still possible (walking, jumping, crouching). • Optional glide mode triggered by a shift in weight or internal button. • Zero visible mechanical parts unless you’re upside down. • Slightly heavier foot padding to hide the hardware.. Any roll to pilot this vehicle receives +2 dice.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Amphibious: Your vehicle may move on land as well as under water at its normal speed. If your vehicle includes an enclosed space, it will function as an airtight, pressurized cockpit.
  • 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.

This item is a living thing. When targeted, it counts as a Living Creature in addition to its other target types. If destroyed or abandoned for more than two days, it dies and becomes unusable.

When you act,
the fursuit moves with you — seamless, alive —
and your presence rips the center of gravity out of the world.

It isn’t rage.
It isn’t fear.
It’s gravity.

Every motion — the flex of your paws, the slight ripple of your fur, the glint of your gaze —
pulls the senses inward.

To predators, you are a rival too strong to ignore.
To prey, you are the storm on the horizon.
To the lost, you are the guide through the dark.
To the angry, you are the challenge that cannot be resisted.
It doesn’t matter why they fixate — only that they do.

Their eyes lock.
Their minds narrow.
The world collapses into you —
and for a few heartbeats,
you are everything.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. A number of Sapient, Living targets within 50 feet who can perceive you through no greater than your Charisma rating are affected. Audiences or mobs with a singular focus count as one target. Roll Charisma + Influence at Difficulty 6. All affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7.

If you succeed, the targets will keep their full attention focused on you for as long as you maintain Concentration. They will automatically fail any rolls related to noticing anything other than you.

If you pass from their perception and they are unable to pursue you, the Effect ends. If they can follow you, they must do so for 2 Rounds or the Effect will end. The Effect ends early if the target is Injured or violence occurs nearby.

This does not affect the target’s opinion of you or their mood, and they may take any Actions while affected (including attacking), as long as that action centers on you. Fascinated targets cannot Concentrate.

  • You must retain Concentration to keep up the effect; if your Concentration is interrupted, the effect will end.
  • 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.

You plant your feet — low, predatory — and your knees bend like you’re ready to lunge.

Your hands curl slightly, claws flexing out from the fursuit’s gauntlets, and the fur along your shoulders and arms rises sharply, standing on end like a living animal ready to strike.

As you draw in a deep, almost silent breath, the seams of the fursuit stretch over tightened muscle —
you seem to bulk up slightly, not supernatural growth, but like your entire body tenses in perfect readiness.

Then it happens:

You throw your head slightly forward, shoulders rolling, and you roar —
a brutal, guttural blast of sound that isn’t just heard — it hits.

The air distorts in a visible shockwave around your chest and mouth, like a concussive burst.

Spend an Action. Select a target within arm's reach. Roll Charisma + Influence Difficulty 6. The target may contest by rolling to Dodge or Defend as a Reaction, Difficulty 6.

If the Contested Outcome is positive, the target takes that much Damage plus 2.

You may use this Effect to Defend against any melee, projectile, or firearm Attacks within range or Clash against any Attack targeted at you. Using it to Defend deals no Damage but does not cost Exertion.

This Gift cannot have more than 3 Drawbacks, and its Gift Cost is capped at 2.

Instead of dealing Damage all at once, the Injury caused by this Power starts at Severity 1 and worsens at the rate of one level per Round until it reaches the Severity it would have otherwise been.

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of Effect. There must be no substantial obstructions between you and your target.

Each Persona is crafted carefully to match the individual’s true self.

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.

This Artifact's true owner must have it with them to have restful sleep. They cannot regain Mind or Source while separated from this Artifact.

  • "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.

Crown of the Beast

Created and held by Lucas Arrete.
A black iron crown wrought with satanic runes

The crown's symbols twist slightly and the target develops an internal brand on one of their organs carrying the symbol of the beast.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target within 20 feet.

Your target is marked with ________. The mark can only be discovered with a deep medical inspection or Effect. Removal inflicts a Severity 1 Injury on the target.

You are aware of the marked target's direction and distance from you. This lasts for the next month, or until either the mark is removed, or you choose to end the Effect. This Artifact can have up to 3 marks active.

You receive +2 dice to any rolls made against a marked target.

  • Marked individuals satisfy the line of sight requirement for targeted Effects.
  • 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.

[Conroicht] Prototype Smartwatch

Created and held by Lorelai Whitetail.
A beautiful, silver inlaid watch with Celtic wolf motifs and a LED screen. This one-of-a-kind gift from R&D is a seamless blend of ancient occult rituals and cutting edge modern technology, utilizing a lycanthrope's blood to power a variety of useful features

With but a tap on the screen, the watch takes a sampling of Lorelai's blood and converts it into a digital virus capable of infecting technological targets at range. This forms a sympathetic link between user and target, which allows Lorelai to navigate a virtual space using only her instincts-- interfacing with the target program in a predator/prey relationship.

Take a Severity-1 Injury and spend 2 Actions. Select a Computer within 300 feet. Does not work on Alien technology. Roll Perception + Occult, with the Difficulty set by the GM depending on the security of the system you are hacking. Sapient targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you may issue a single command to the targeted system. This command must have a specific outcome or be a request for specific login credentials. The command you issue must be within the machine's current capabilities. For example, you cannot order a standard security camera to grow legs and walk around.

Your hack cannot be discovered by system administrators or firewall software for a number of hours equal to your Outcome on the initial roll.

  • The Injury received from activating this Effect heals in 1 day and cannot be prevented or prematurely healed by any means.
  • 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.

Mjolnir’s Bastion

Created and held by Grognar the Barbarien.
A necklace with a small Hammer with runes all over it

The hammer’s obsidian head glimmers with faint, glowing runes, casting a halo of golden light around it as Grognar activates it. Bystanders would see the runes pulse with power, a faint, crackling energy radiating from the hammer.

Spend an Action. Select a Animate target within arm's reach. Roll Brawn + Melee at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you create a barrier around your target, which absorbs the next Outcome +4 Damage. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. This Artifact may only have 1 active barrier at a time.

The barrier will fall after two hours, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage. When a barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds.

This Gift cannot have more than 3 Drawbacks, and its Gift Cost is capped at 1.

  • Effects which circumvent Armor completely also circumvent your barrier.
  • 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.

Pulse Motion Gauntlet

Created and held by Luna Aoki.
A somewhat mechanical looking gauntlet that wraps around one wrist.

Luna's gauntlet has small focused graviton waves that emit from it, and, similar to a 3d printer, build up the object that's being constructed. The gauntlet has an in-built matter pipeline, from vacuum energy system to matter synthesizer to atomic forge to molecular assembler. Each layer building the next layer.

Expend a point of Battery and spend 1 minute.

Choose an Object which could fit inside a regular backpack (up to 27 liters). It must be Non-Alien and generic. You cannot create explosives. You cannot create firearms.

Roll Intellect + Technology to fabricate up to 5 copies of your chosen Object. The Difficulty is assigned by the GM and depends on the specificity of your chosen Object. The created item lasts 2 hours.

  • The Difficulty for the fabrication roll increases based on specificity. Something like a "shirt" would be Difficulty 5, whereas "Police uniform" would be Difficulty 9. The Outcome determines overall quality and how well the item fits the request.
  • You can fabricate a container of something so long as it contains a single type of thing (such as a tank of water) or it is designed to be packaged together (such as a first aid kit).
  • If you are able to activate this Effect as a Reaction, its roll contests the incoming Attack.

Luna points the gauntlet at her target and makes a hand gesture of a clenched fist and the spreading it. A wave of gravity shoots out, and pushes whatever it's pointing at away - although, given relative weights, it more often ends up pushing her away.

She's okay with this.

Of course, wearing a gravity gun strapped to your wrist isn't exactly good for your shoulder.

Spend an Action. Select a Object or Animate target up to 100 feet away. Select a distance up to 100 feet.

Targets that weigh less than you are pushed back until they are the selected distance away or pulled towards you until they are the selected distance away. If you are lighter, you move instead. If you are roughly the same weight, you and the target both move.

This Effect cannot move anything heavier than 500 pounds.

Affected targets may use a Reaction and roll Dexterity or Brawn + Athletics to hold on to a nearby anchor, if available. A complete success increases their effective weight by whatever they hold onto. You may also roll to anchor yourself as you activate this Effect without spending a Reaction.

Pushing a target straight upward requires you to be directly beneath them and halves the range. GM’s may ask for a Dexterity + Athletics roll when repositioning yourself around a target to get a desired angle. They may React to reposition or anchor themselves as normal.

This Gift cannot have more than 3 Drawbacks, and its Gift Cost is capped at 1.

Anyone who touches this Artifact will notice it warping their body and may drop it. If they choose to hold or use it, they immediately receive the following Battle Scar: Shoulder Sublaxiation: One of your shoulders is damaged. Whenever it takes a major blow or is otherwise put under stress the GM may dislocate it. A dislocated limb cannot be used until you Exert your Mind and spend an Action to reset it. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Battle Scar heals over the course of the next day.

  • 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.

The gauntlet is able to put things back together just as easily as build them from scratch. The lasers sweep over the target, quickly repairing the the target.

Exert your Mind and spend 1 Action. Select a Object within arm's reach that is of any size. You may target Alien technology, so long as you have an understanding of its intended function. You must use up lithium-ion battery in order to activate this Effect. More than half the target object must be present in order to begin repairs. Roll Intellect + Technology at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, your target is repaired back to a functional state. If you fail, you spend the full time working before realizing you cannot repair the target.

  • 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.

The artifact is hardened. The owner can bring up a Neo-Genis console and summon the artifact.

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.

Really, an upgrade is just another form of repair. The universal constructor is able to tweak an object to upgrade it.

Exert your Mind and spend a minute. Select a Device within arm's reach. Can be used on Alien technology. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you the item is broken. You must use up lithium-ion battery in order to activate this Effect. Can be used on Armor.

Lasts the next day. Your target 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. If it is a piece of Armor, it instead receives half that amount as bonus armor rating, rounded up. If an upgraded shield and armor are both worn, the upgrade bonus does not stack with itself.

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.

  • Upgrading Alien Devices does not add bonus dice to any rolls related to the Device’s passive or activated Effects.
  • 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.
  • 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.

The Universal Constructor is able to do precise bulk fabrication of standard building pieces, given sufficient supplemental power. It's also able to reclaim those just as quickly.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location within arm's reach. You must use up lithium-ion battery in order to activate this Effect.

Select one of the following alterations to create out of man-made construction materials originating at the target:

  • Wall: Create a straight wall made of man-made construction materials up to 40 feet long, 10 feet high, and 12 inches thick. This wall can also be used to create a bridge, ramp, or similar. It must be free-standing.

The alteration begins to form when you activate this Effect and finishes forming on your initiative in the next Round. Until it finishes forming, it is not guaranteed to function.

This alteration lasts indefinitely but may be prematurely destroyed or altered. Your alterations may be broken through with appropriate tools. Anyone attempting to break through must roll Brawn + a relevant Ability. A cumulative Outcome of 6 across all attempts breaks a hole large enough to move through. See the extended system text for GM guidance on various tools.

You may end this Effect prematurely as a Free Action.

  • Attempting to break any alterations with inappropriate tools may damage or destroy the tools at the GM's discretion.
  • Any structures you create leave precise gaps for obstacles in their path or push them out of the way. You cannot directly destroy objects or structures or damage beings by creating walls or domes.
  • Tool guidance for GMs:
    • Difficulty 9: Brawn 5, no tools.
    • Difficulty 7-8: One-handed tools or makeshift tools (like a sword). Mythic Brawn without tools.
    • Difficulty 6: Appropriate manual tools. Crowbar, sledgehammer, armor-shredding attacks.
    • Difficulty 4-5: Power tools, vehicles, explosives.
  • This Effect produces the substance you are controlling unless it is drawn from the environment via “Required Environment” Drawbacks.
  • 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.

Luna closes her eyes, and reaches past this layer of reality.

Thankfully, whatever operating system reality runs on keeps excellent snapshots, and she's able to, if she can find the index, recover a personality from it, just for a short time.

Spend one minute. Select a Dead target within 50 feet. For dead targets, you must possess their true name.

The target can communicate in your language for the next hour.

Communicating with a being cannot directly damage your Mind or cause Injury. All rolls to resist Effects that rely on communicating with you are made at -1 Difficulty.

  • 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.

The pulse-motion gauntlet is made mostly for working with materials - however, the extremely sophisticated little arrays inside are just as able to map biological pathways as they are metallurgical ones, and interact with it with the pumped pulsed-phase lasers.

The lasers sweep over their target, rapidly forming a map of them and then being able to query the pathways that make it up.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select an Animate target within 25 feet You must use up lithium-ion battery in order to activate this Effect. You must maintain Concentration while the effect is active. Roll Intellect + Technology at Difficulty 6. The target may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you are able to view your target's memories. If you fail, the target knows you're attempting to read their memories.

You may ask a number of specific questions about their memory equal to your Contested Outcome. For example, “what is their computer password,” “What were they doing at 4:00PM yesterday,” etc. You cannot get answers to broad, analytical questions like “are they a good person?” or “what are their plans for the future?”

Each question you ask and memory you replay takes a single Round to read.

You may read memories that the target has forgotten.

  • In the case of a failed activation, GMs should consider how bystanders would realistically react to a potentially-outlandish accusation of mind-reading.
  • 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.

Pocket Pump-Action

Created and held by Darnell Whinston.
A sleek steel Mossberg 500 Modernized to compact into a tiny hand held button.

The user would click on the button as in the blink of an eye the seemingly harmless laser pointer transforms into a Mossberg through a process that can only be described as a sudden flash. Now the user armed with an Enhanced Mossberg 500 can blast holes through his victims much easier than Normal.

This Artifact can be used as a Shotgun. It is roughly the same size as a Shotgun but can be collapsed into A small laser pointer shaped item with a button on one end. and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Free Action.

Attack by rolling Dexterity + Firearms, Difficulty 6. Successful attacks deal 2 Weapon Damage +3 Bonus Damage. The target's Armor is reduced to 1/2, rounded up against this damage.

Possession of this Artifact causes the following Battle Scar to manifest over the course of a day: The Users face has a quarter of it missing. Appearing as if it was blown off by a shotgun yet somehow seared over. This doesn’t inhibit the user physically but the initial creation of this scar was rather painful.. If you lose possession of this Artifact, the Battle Scar heals over the course of the next month.

  • Quick Fingers: Drawing your weapon is a Free Action as long as it is on your person. You may reload as a Free Action.
