Will of the Reaper “You dare use my own tricks against me?”
After taking on multiple spirts, another reaper, and a physical manifestation of fear and nightmares, Penny’s/Valerie’s mental defenses have proven strong, but only barely strong enough to survive. So now she prepares her thoughts, fortifying them, and laying traps. She will show her enemies that there are consequences for intruding on the head of a reaper.

Gen-Wyld: Beyond Natural
On March 14, 2018, a little-known company named Gen-Wyld announced FDA approval for a groundbreaking procedure to enhance a patient’s primary and secondary sexual characteristics using gene therapy. The company was an overnight success.
Shortly thereafter, they introduced a suite of gene-altering body modification procedures that allowed patients to make dramatic aesthetic changes to their bodies by gene-splicing “non-human” anatomy. Those daring (and wealthy) enough can now add cuttlefish pigmentation to their skin, sport a pair of fox ears, and even add a functional tail. While rare, these so-called “modders” draw plenty of hate from conservative communities.
Thanks to their revolutionary procedures, Gen-Wyld is now a household name. Norman Carlson, Gen-Wyld’s chief evangelist, recently announced the company is in the trial phase for a groundbreaking treatment for diabetes.
Yet despite their success, a shroud of secrecy surrounds Gen-Wyld. Their no-patent policy obscures the secrets of their procedures from the public eye. Financial experts claim that Gen-Wyld is run less like a traditional business and more like an NGO with some specific, unknown objective.
Some claim that they will not stop until humanity has been reduced to monstrous slaves and that Gen-Wyld’s board of directors will install themselves as inhuman overlords of the new world order.
However, until the true secrets behind Gen-Wyld are discovered, the genetic biotech firm will continue to grow, develop, and progress its grand designs.

Archmage's Mental Defense
I'm always keeping it in mind
A mage mind is a enigma, more-so an archmage. The complex calculations, the pure strong will and determination to push through the study of magic and its complex formulas. Though the mental load of such a thing is extremely complex, through the use of a accessory focus, Luminous has set and laid a extremely complex formula onto his earrings.
You gain the following benefits at all times. You must actively and obviously be using Earring to gain the benefits of this Effect.
You get +0 dice to any Mind resistance rolls you make. You also gain the following effects:

- When reflecting an Effect, its Activation Outcome is equal to your resistance Outcome. If you reflect it back at the target who cast it originally, they do not receive a resistance roll.

Sub-Processing Matrix
Kanni is not just one intelligence managing every part of her chassis, that is inefficient, and can lead to complications, as such she was built with a matrix of sub-processors, allowing her to focus on the task at hand while many dimunitive AI's operate in the background.
While it was not built to directly fight against any attacks that affect Kanni's coding, it appears that they serve as bait, hopefully preventing Kanni from being affected by such attacks.
