The targeted scar visually casts colorful shadows (that appear to be superimposed on our reality and actively moving) of itself, which all seem to be different iterations of itself. A lot of these seem fae (feathered, covered in fur, slightly shining or even sparkling, golden) and a lot seem eldritch (covered in oil, tentacular or tendril-like, squamous, covered in eyes, insectoid). As the hour passes the original form starts to show up more and more often, until finally it settles in its original healed form.
The one to activate this power reaches into the beyond to gather information about the possibilities of his own form. The perfect form is the originally designed form for this individual, and this information over the course of the casting flows into the very cells of the body, allowing them to regenerate as needed.
Exert your Mind and spend an hour to activate. Select a Battle Scar on yourself to treat.
The treated Battle Scar will heal immediately.
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.
