Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

American Psycho Killer
Qui suis-je?
A sickly green cocoon quickly envelopes Kris and warps her form into a crude mockery of a certain cartoon's villain.
Exert your Mind and spend a Quick Action.
You transform into Black-Carapace Armored Insect-like Equine Humanoid for 3 Rounds. You have access to all of your Powers while you are Black-Carapace Armored Insect-like Equine Humanoid, 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 Attributes are the same. You do not suffer any Stress while transformed.
Your alternate form is its own deadly weapon. Unarmed attacks made in your alternate form deal +3 Weapon Damage (instead of the typical -1).
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.
- Reminder: Weapon Damage from multiple sources does not stack. Instead, the highest value is used.
- Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.

Timeline Swap
Sometimes, this is the best timeline.
Motivated by his newfound understanding of society, and time itself. Amaranth Barclay has realized a very crucial fact. It is not always wise to be a caveman without any connection to society or the world therein and that it's sometimes better to be someone else. Amaranth didn't understand society very well however, So, Amaranth began to look into the one thing he did know.
Time, and in time there is the theory that whenever you make a choice it branches off and creates an alternate reality. Amaranth can see those realities, and now, his own connections to them and by syncing their temporal states he can take on the appearance he would've had in one of those alternate timelines, and with infinite timelines, well. That could be anyone. Though in exchange, he does have to lend his own face to other timelines occasionally and who knows what troubles that will bring?
