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 this Artifact has no living true owner, anyone may spend one day attuning to it to become its true owner.

If the true owner of this Artifact ever dies, it immediately disappears. At least one week later, it will appear to A personal friend of the previous owner (randomly determined among them—such is the nature of a warranty plan) and reveal its power to them. They become its new true owner.

  • If there is no available Next of Kin, it will wait two months and then appear to a random person. If multiple next of kin are appropriate, the GM will decide randomly.
  • "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.

Ophir was born with a rather strange ability, even among the rare few in the world whose lineage gave them minor supernatural powers. Even as a baby, his light brown irises looked oddly mechanical... and his pupils would dilate and contract with quiet clicks. Neither of his parents understood where this odd mutation came from, but they loved him and raised him the same as his brothers and sister.

Even before he was able to speak, Ophir's memory was unmatched by his peers. It wasn't until he was in elementary school that his parents realized that he might be more than what meets the eye. Photos started showing up on the family computer that could've never been taken with a normal camera... with strange and unexpected angles at times when no technology had been around.

He was bitten by the photojournalism bug after joining the A/V club at his High School and starting to better understand camera technology and technique and how it could be used to show the world to those who need to see it. Once he understood the capabilities of mundane cameras... he knew exactly what he would need to do to his own underdeveloped "body cam".

Due to an innate self-defence mechanism, Vein's fibres have an opposite effect on damage from pure, unalloyed metal. As Vein's main weapon is capped entirely with elemental tungsten, this ensures they hold a distinct physical advantage should cooperation cease between the symbiote and their host.

Any Injury you receive from a source other than unalloyed metal 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.

As long as at least half your body remains intact, you cannot die and remain at Incapacitated, regardless of how many Injuries you take. It is clear to observers that you are still alive.

You may Exert your Mind and spend a Quick Action to reduce the Severity of one of your Injuries by 4. Does not affect Injuries suffered as an activation cost for Effects.

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.

Injuries you receive from unalloyed metal are increased in Severity by 1.

  • The increase in Injury Severity stacks with any similar effects, such as the Vulnerable drawback on Inhuman Physiology.

You gain the following benefits at all times.
