UA-566 appears to have countless parasitic creatures living inside of it, some natural (tapeworm, pork worm, flatworm) and others never recorded to have been seen outside of UA-566 in the wild. The unique parasites often seem to have supernatural qualities that manifest in the main body of UA-566. The following is a list of the supernatural qualities UA-566 demonstrates as well as the parasite that is suspected to cause the phenomena. This list will be updated as new parasites are discovered in the body of UA-566.
• UA-566-C: A form of anomalous tapeworm that appears to wrap itself up in the place of the bones of UA-566's host body. These are capable squishing in unnatural ways, allowing UA-566 to squeeze into spaces that even their slight form would be incapable of fitting. At the same time, these tapeworms can harden and stiffen to attack with UA-566's inhuman strength. UA-566 also appears to have splits in their hands, arms, feet, and legs where these tapeworms can emerge and extend the main body's reach.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
You are permanently and visibly transformed: Pale, gaunt form and face with an extremely unsettling, and lifeless expression. Thick hair with pale white teeth buried in the scalp and on the hairline of their forehead like a crown. Deeper in the hair, a gaping mouth gnashes its teeth, hungry for food. You are considered to be a Sapient, Non-Living being when targeted..

As Luciole traces her finger along the mark of the Ichor Order, crimson lines draw the same mark upon the target. Red camellias bloom and eat away at them from the inside out until they get the battle scar and/or trauma that Luciole has chosen to bestow upon them.
On camellias:
A lot of flowers have one-worded meanings, but the camellia is among those that surround deeper feelings that can't ever be expressed with one word. "My heart bleeds for you." You could argue that this is just empathy, but I've always known it was more than that. I'd bleed for you. I'd sacrifice everything for you. The red means I love you.
On exchange:
People have only ever taken from me. That's fine, I'll keep on giving. Sharing is caring. Let me share my experiences with you. Baring one's heart to another is how people bond, right? That's the only way you'll grow and bloom. You'll be such a beautiful little flower. Then you'll understand me. Finally someone will understand. And at last, you can carry my burdens.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Sapient target within 80 feet. You must actively and obviously use any palm-sized wooden object containing the Mark of the Ichor Order to activate this Effect. If a target does not consent to the transfer, you must roll Dexterity+Occult at Difficulty 6 to use the effect on them. They can resist by rolling either Body or Mind at Difficulty 6, depending on what you are attempting to transfer to them.
You may choose one each of as many things as you like from the following to transfer from your target to yourself, or from yourself to them:
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see invasive camellias blooming from underneath the target's skin before breaking out through pores or the nose, mouth, and ears to eat at them (anguish or atrocities).
Whenever you transfer an Injury, it's Severity increases by 1. Whenever you transfer Mind damage or Traumas, the recipient takes an additional Mind damage.
After you finish activating this Effect, you cannot move quicker than a walk (max 15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour. Exhaustion’s penalty and duration stacks with multiple activations.
