Hezalea's past has brought her into places that no normal human would've been allowed into, all for the "greater good". The exposure has changed her on a fundamental level for better or worse; how could anyone call her a hero now? She can't even be called "human" anymore. Her "blood" coagulates so quickly that her injuries simply look grotesque, as if a Venom-like creature has touched them.
On toxicity:
Hezalea always used to carry around vials of liquid cancer: chromyl chloride. Koriol was the one who supplied her with it, no questions asked. It looks like blood, just a little more orange in smaller portions, and it fumes enough that people know right away that she means very much harm. The moment they lay eyes on it they usually back away. What does it mean, now that something quite similar flows through her veins? At least she's not planning to maintain any relationship that matters anytime soon.
On the white streak:
No matter what she's tried, she can't get rid of it in any meaningful way. Cutting it off only means it'd grow back with the same pale whiteness, and it's not even porous enough to be dyed before the colour slips away, staining everything else. Maybe it's from the incessant stress of all the situations she throws herself into, but she secretly knows this is just another superficial symptom of something quite sinister underneath.
On choice:
She didn't choose this gift. She was told she'd be getting magic from fulfilling Contracts, but all she got instead was a true manifestation of what was already there. The scientists back then were so intent on achieving this very feat, telling her it'd make her better and stronger and all-powerful. They had an unnatural fixation on replacing one's crimson vitality with something else. All they really wanted was self-satisfaction and bragging rights for attaining divine knowledge, at the cost of her liberty and her life.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
You are permanently and visibly transformed: Streak of ghostly white hair and fuming, pitch-black blood. You are considered to be a Sapient, Non-Living being when targeted..
Your Injuries no longer degrade with time. You do not age naturally, and supernatural attempts to age you fail.
Any Animate being that consumes or is injected with your bodily fluids receives a Severity-1 Injury. Every Round, they must roll Body Difficulty 9. If they fail, the Injury worsens by 1 Severity. If they succeed, the Injury stops worsening.
Zoan has a particularly interesting way of augmenting his target, smashing, breaking, ripping flesh and bone, it all comes… surprisingly easy for him? Of course anyone seeing this would be horrified, but Zoan would never experiment on his targets while awake! Surely not…
Spend 30 minutes. Select a Living or Animate target within arm's reach. Your target must make a Trauma roll when you activate this Effect. The target can easily Resist.
You may add one augmentation to your target. Each augmentation counts as a Battle Scar and can have exactly one of the following Effects:
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Zoan ripping his target apart with supernatural ease, drilling into them and hammering parts onto them.
This Gift's Cost is capped at 2 and cannot be increased further.
Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Compulsion to fix the imperfections of allies (Visual Battlescars; Unfit for current environment/climate).
The two previously dim yellow lights in Astra's roboBunny ears flicker. The roboBunny ears get covered in a black ichor like substance. They become transparent and watery, glass-like before vanishing completely. Not long after, the black ichor covers the rest of Astra's body, gobbling all of her clothes and belongings from head to toe. The glassy, water like shimmer follows, mimicking the black ichor's advance. Astra then vanishes, her silhouette barely distinguishable in an otherwise empty room.
When the girl moves, her silhouette becomes visible, displaying a shimmery, glassy, watery like depiction of whatever it was displaying to conceal Astra. It changes and realigns to make the snowBunny obscured again, only managing after the movement stops.
When the effect stops, the black ichor becomes visible as it retreats back into the bunny ears.
The ichor cannot be touched and any object or person not covered in it will simply go through and touch Astra.
The 'ichor' is in fact an illusion, hence it's non-physical nature. The bunnyEars create a field that 'washes' over Astra's body, clothes and on-person belongings.
While this effect is active and Astra moves, the resulting distortion is the light bending being readjusted, trying to match the surroundings from all possible angles.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
You are obscured in one of the following manners. You may Spend an Action to change the way in which you're concealed.
While this Effect is active, any Effect that would obscure you from other, additional senses fails automatically. If someone discovers you, this Effect will not help you hide from them for the next minute. You only remain obscured while you are standing still; moving or taking actions will suspend the Effect for a Round.
You may turn this Effect on and off at will during its duration.

The detective can flash their badge and bark out orders to a person or a crowd, and the target will have trouble ignoring their command.
Exert your Mind and spend at least one Action. All Sapient targets within 20 feet of you are affected. You must actively and obviously use a police badge to activate this Effect. Your target cannot be engaged in Combat. Communicate a command to your targets. Roll Charisma + Influence at Difficulty 6. Any affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7.
If the contested Outcome is positive, your targets will be compelled to follow your command to the letter-- but not necessarily the spirit-- of the command until they have completed it or for your Outcome in minutes. You cannot issue another suggestion to the target until 10 minutes after they have completed the first command or 10 minutes after a failure.
The target is unaware that they are under supernatural influence and feel they are acting of their own free will. If you fail, they realize that you were attempting to influence them supernaturally with your command.
Your command can be an order to take an immediate Action. You cannot order a target to "do nothing," and they are free to take other Actions as they fulfill your request. Your command cannot be obviously self-destructive. Commands may force a target to violate one of their Limits, and they will need to make a Trauma roll once the suggestion wears off.
Doc puts his hands on you and begins to mutter to himself in french. The effect is instant and horrible. You begin to remember all of the sins of your past, all the ways that you've wronged those who loved you. All of the terrible, evil things you've done on these contracts in order to survive. Doc seems to be in the grips of similar memories, tears running down his chin and dripping onto his hands that are pressed tightly against you. At the point where your mind feels like it's about to break, it's over. Just as quickly as it began. You feel your wounds begin to close.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. Your target must make a Trauma roll when you activate this Effect. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Charisma + Medicine at Difficulty 6.
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.
The magician dons their wizard hat, raises their arms, wiggles their fingers, and a rain of sparks fly woosh around an object. It shudders to life and follows the magicians commands, including to do things it was not designed to do.
