When Aviophobia activates, there’s no grand fanfare — just a sudden, eerie stillness around Selma. The air thickens like a held breath, and a faint shimmer outlines her body, as if unseen wings are suspending her weight. A soft keening sound — too low for certainty, too mournful for imagination — rises in the background. She hovers almost reluctantly, fighting an invisible pull toward the ground. To those who can sense it, she does not fly by choice, but by necessity.
"Aviophobia" is not true flight, but an anguished defiance of gravity itself. As the self-anointed Angel of Death, Selma whispers through existence with steps lighter than the air, yet bound by her dread of what height represents: power, judgment, and the cost of mercy. The higher she soars, the greater the weight on her soul — a reminder that even angels can fall. Every moment she floats is a negotiation between mastery and terror, the embodiment of her refusal to be either completely free or completely grounded. She rises — but never without fear.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
As long as you are conscious, you are immune to falling Damage and may hover in place mid-air. Additionally, you may glide as you fall, traveling 35 feet horizontally for every 10 feet you fall. While gliding, you fall at a minimum speed of 10 feet per Round.
You are subject to the following effects while gliding:
Spend an Action. Select a Non-Alien door, container, knot, or lock within 20 feet , which is not electronic and can be no more complex than a standard key lock.
You may lock, unlock, and/or open your target.
The Assimilator opens their mouth in a silent scream, their body undulating and shuddering, morphing to match the desired form.
Exert your Mind and spend 2 Actions. This Effect cannot be used unless you are possessing a host.
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.
The new appearance may have a different sex, age, and race to your own, and you may alter height by up to a foot and your weight by 50%. Your disguise may directly mimic the appearance of a specific individual. You may change the appearance of your outfit. A disguise cannot affect your Attributes or other stats.
You may roll Charisma + Crafts to attempt to make your disguise Beautiful. If your Outcome is 6 or higher, non-Effect Charisma rolls where your good looks could help are rolled at -2 Difficulty. If you fail or botch, you are ugly instead, and non-Effect Charisma rolls are made at +2 Difficulty.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see your flesh and skin split apart before mixing and slapping back together as a different person.
Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Bane: Fire - You are weak to a specific material or type of attack. (All Damage you take from [Fire] is increased by 1 and ignores any non-material Armor you may have.).

The Blademaster is so attuned to blades that they may manipulate any bladed object at a range simply by willing it. Observers see translucent spider-silk connecting the Blademaster's fingers to the blade, allowing them to puppet it.

As long as you maintain Concentration, you can take Actions and interact with things that are within 75 feet without needing to physically touch them or be near them.

The doctor heals severe injuries in minutes using only standard medical supplies. Lacerations seal under the needle and thread, and reset bones can be used shortly after.
However, for the treatment to last, the patient must adhere to any aftercare regimen the doctor requires. Those who violate the doctor's orders suffer their injuries anew.
Exert your Mind and spend 15 minutes. Select a Living target within arm's reach. You must actively and obviously use basic medical supplies to activate this Effect. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Intellect + Medicine at Difficulty 8.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain. You may specify a specific condition that the patient must adhere to. If they break this condition, the treatment is immediately reversed. Record this regimen as a Condition.

The Toon performs some sort of cartoonish act of violence. This may be handing someone a bomb, hitting someone with a cartoon mallet, burping a burp that is so noxious it melts flesh, or anything else as long as it is cartoonish.
The attack is more of a throwaway gag than a plot element, so any props or properties of the attack are incidental and disappear immediately. Animated mallets evaporate in a puff of smoke, fire does not spread, and electricity cannot power devices.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target within 45 feet. Roll Charisma + Performance Difficulty 6. The target may contest by rolling to Dodge or Defend as a Reaction, Difficulty 6.
