Sir Seymore Alonso carries himself as a proud knight and refuses to accept otherwise. Although he comes across as quite mad, his skill at arms with medieval weaponry is very real. He strikes with uncanny precision, brutal power, and preternatural control. His attacks morph seamlessly between stances as a thrust turns into an overhead slash, or a horizontal swing turns into a blow with a the cross-guard or haft. Even the timing of offensive maneuvers is frustratingly uncanny, as the momentum accelerates or slows without altering the intended force behind them.
First of his name, valiant saviour of Templetown, slayer of the Danish menace.

As the userโs skin falls to the ground in a gooey steamy mess, it is replaced by the disguise, as though the userโs original skin was simply an elaborate costume.
While the from the outside, it appears the user is being flayed alive, they are in no danger as the skin sloughing off is comparable to the dead, first layer of skin most people have.
Exert your Mind and spend a minute.
You become disguised in a manner of your choosing. The disguise lasts until you either activate a new disguise, or choose to end the effect.

Stemming from his love of anime, John Mann's first power was an obvious choice, the power to hit stuff really really hard. He tends to yell really loudly when he does so, but this is not strictly neccessary.

Created by Bu Fang, this is a Neckerchief to be worn in the kitchen that allows one to improve one skill within the kitchen! A generally ceremonial item, the neckerchief is taught to be a practical wilderness item in the Scouting tradition. The neckerchief, unrolled, is designed to be the perfect size for use as a triangular bandage for first aid.
Edit: Expensive...might be better as Activated? This is a major investment, clearly to take advantage of the trading economy. It'll raise the question: how many Senses can you have between Crafted items & Innate Powers?
If the max is still relevant, this item will be wasted on most high level characters...
You gain the following benefits at all times. You must actively and obviously be using Neckerchief to gain the benefits of this Effect.
Your senses are enhanced in the following way.
Any senses which have been heightened cannot be overloaded. Battle Scars you receive cannot affect these senses.
In one moment, Ally is angry.
In the next, the young girl twists, her face deforming, bursting into a savage, growling muzzle. Her eyes have turned entirely gold as bones crack and her form swells - her size nearly doubles. Her hands turn into paws, a large tail bursting from her back.
She glows almost incandescent with rage, and looking upon her causes a deep, paralyzing fear.
Exert your Mind and spend a Quick Action.
You transform into savage werewolf for 30 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are savage werewolf, and you can use your equipment. Your Battle Scars, Injuries, and physical Liabilities are carried over between forms. Reverting from your Alternate Form cannot cause your existing Injuries to kill you. Instead, you remain Incapacitated.
While transformed, your Brawn is increased by 2. Your Stress is reduced by 2.
You may end this Effect prematurely as a Free Action.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see Delirium - people who see you have a deep, instinctual, and occasionally traumatizing fear.
Your alternate form renders you unable to speak any human language and incapable of fine object manipulation. You can only hold or grasp objects in a crude, clumsy way.
While transformed, you automatically fail any Mind roll to resist an impulse and suffer -3 dice on all other Mind rolls.
The influencer is welcome at any event or social gathering, but they're easy to recognize, even when they'd rather not be.

Finally, the girls are fusing the way theyโve wanted to since they began Contracting, three and a half years ago. It took Graceโs left eye for them to try this, but the girls are now able to spend a week focusing their energy towards a Battle Scarred area and permanently replacing it with The Spiritโs ghostly flesh. The replaced chunks, eyes, arms, whatever may come, appear just as The Spiritโs: bluish and semi-transparent, but now function just as the respective physical flesh would.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
Any Injury you receive heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every 6 hours. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active do not deteriorate over time. However, any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will remain unless it is Properly Stabilized as normal.
All Injuries you receive are considered Properly Stabilized. You may also choose to heal any Battle Scar on yourself that may not have been caused by an Injury. Doing so takes one day, and the Battle Scar affects you fully until that time.
Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: any scars that heal this way leave the flesh in that area bluish and semi-transparent, causing you to be viewed as a freak by most people who see you.
Through the use of clever rhetoric, the spy is able to inspire a surge of emotion in a target with whom they are speaking.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Living target within 45 feet as well as a specific emotion. This Effect cannot be used unless you are engaged in conversation with the target. Roll Charisma + Influence at Difficulty 6. Affected targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6 -3 dice.
If you succeed, for the next minute, your target will do things they otherwise wouldnโt have done, inspired by the chosen emotion. They will not necessarily display their emotions in an obvious way.
Actions they take will be in keeping with their character and the way they tend to deal with strong emotions. They will be unlikely to change their mind about any actions taken or decisions made until after the Effect ends.

Outside of Combat, any non-Gift, non-movement Actions you attempt take drastically less time to complete, as long as your personal speed is a factor in the Action. Total time reduction is determined by the GM and capped at 90% (executing the Action takes no less than 1/10th the normal time).
While using this Effect, you may carry one other being without affecting your Encumbrance, so long as you maintain contact with them for the duration and they consent or are grappled.
