Never Take a Sick Day “You think I have time to be sick? I don’t have time to be sick.”
Whether it’s true or not, Archie is confident that the whole building would come down if he weren’t on call to do his job as the head secretary of the Bank of America Corporate HQ. Having a job like that, you can’t be out for any reason- he has no kids to speak of, and honestly loves the job. So, when he got sick and powered through it much more miraculously than he should have been able to, Archie made his first realization on what the Games might be doing for him.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Primordial Physiology
Just built different
They don't make humans like they used to. A lifetime of experience eating garbage to survive, enduring illnesses without doctors, and just toughing out infections means that Amaranth is pretty much the top of the human survivability pile, his genes are just uniquely suited for resisting incredible poisons and toxins, able to adapt to even the most potently lethal things humanity can throw at each other.

Tough as nails
At this point, probably more drink than man.
Through a combination of (mostly) Foundation experimentation on his body, and a lifetime of digging through various garbage heaps in order to find the parts for his stills, Cleatus has become pretty close to one of the most terrifyingly tough people in the foundation. Some have even likened him to a billy goat, as he's been known to eat rotting and decaying food without even blinking, and to take the various vaccines and dosages of foundation chemicals that are needed without even needing to lay down when others are left bed ridden for days. When asked why, he insists that it's simply because he's had harder stuff in him, but those in the know will know that it is due to what has now become anomalous biochemistry wherein his entire body has taken on the disinfecting and sterilizing properties of ultra high purity alcohol.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
