---Foresight. Don't dodge the bullet, anticipate the squeeze of the trigger.

0
You possess superhuman unarmed combat ability.
Used by Autumn Whitlock, Created by therustyy257.

Autumn's amber eyes lock onto the offender's weapon of choice, in the same instant her body is set into motion, fluid and graceful it flows around the strike, almost as if the woman anticipated where the blow would land, moving just an inch out of reach over and over again in a dance that's as deadly as it is mesmerizing.

"Being reactive is a mistake, letting your opponent take the initiative, box you - it is the equivalent of handing them the role of a butcher while dawning the mantle of a scared little lamb - sufficed to say you'll end up on their dinner plate by the end of the day - use your head instead, don't solely rely on your reflexes - those can only get you so far, anticipate the squeeze of the trigger, move just before they strike, throw them off, surprise them, a flustered target makes mistakes, mistakes you should capitalize on."

You gain the following benefits as long as you are engaged in unarmed combat.

+2 dice to rolls for Attacking, Defending, and Clashing without a weapon. Unarmed attacks do +0 Weapon Damage (instead of -1).

You may Defend against melee, projectile, or firearm Attacks from any range and Clash with those in range of your Attacks. Attacking materials like steel or spikes will not Damage you unless it has an Effect that does so.

  • Unlike the Ability Brawl, this Effect does not affect small weapons such as knives.

Some philosophers argue that your personal identity is based upon your mind, not your body or soul. Subscribers to this idea have no concern for their body or some sort of post-physical soul being destroyed. Instead, they are concerned only with continuing their stream of thought and preventing it from being tampered. Protecting your body from harm is just a means to a end, a means towards protecting ones mind from deteriorating.

[Hey, Listen!]: Your words carry an imperceptible weight that not even unfavourable audio conditions can tarry. People always hear you, whether they like it or not.
[Honest Eyes]: The tells that denote the deceptions of other are far too obvious to you. A slight facial twitch. A smile held a microsecond too long. You don't always know *what* they're lying about, but if they're trying to pull the wool over your eyes - you'll know.
[No Choice But To Stan]: The effect you have on other often has them defend you when you're wronged, for reasons you can't totally know. Likely they justify it to themselves as "the benefit of the doubt", but it matters not to you. They all fall in line, in the end.
[Maddening]: Knowing the lies of others has put a certain paranoia into you - what if someone else can see as you do? Best not to risk it - though sometimes, it's unavoidable.
[The Price Of Fame]: The magnetic air that has others bowing to you does have a side effect - you're altogether to easy to remember. Disguises do little, for the mark of your importance does not easily fade. Best not to be spotted, if you need to be unseen.
