Using his phone, Troy can generate a shield. It glows lightly and appears like a giant (not *that* big, but you know) plastic shield. If someone is behind him, they're also protected by the shield.
Because it comes from his phone, if he's without his phone, it doesn't work.
Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend an Action or Reaction. You must actively and obviously use a phone to activate this Effect. Roll Charisma + Technology at Difficulty 6.

The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.
You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The barrier will fall if you are interrupted, 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.

The most painful times in Hezalea's life has left her indifferent to the pain. If she tries hard enough, she can tune it out as if it's background noise.
On pain:
One might say suffering is part of being human. Does that mean those who have yet to suffer are yet to be fully human? If that were true, if pain and sadness were a prerequisite for recognition, Hezalea would rather shirk it all.
On willfulness:
Muting any of the senses takes more than being told, "Just deal with it." But now... Hezalea can indeed say that to herself and expect herself to stop being so flustered by the incessant agony that hovers around her. It's all just a placebo. She's incredibly annoyed that this very power has validated all the insensitive words thrown her way.
On heroism:
Was numbness always part of being a hero? She doubts it. Often the most questionable heroes are ones who have become desensitized from the horrors that plague their lives. She wishes she could feel visceral disgust at all the atrocities in the world again, she wishes she could say that was the drive for her ambitions, but really, why does she continue moving forward?
