Gulliver brings the blood dripping down his chin to his nose and smiles , his eyes narrowing up as he smells the scent and sees the thermal imprint of his victim in a cluster of bushes. He circles his prey taunting it as he does so going in for the kill.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
Your senses are enhanced in the following way.
Maria breathes a gout of black smoke and glowing cinders toward a creature. The noxious mix swirls directly into their eyes (or other mucus membranes) as if sucked from the air. The smoke will not damage the creature or otherwise impair their senses. Instead, they grow drowsy and soon fall into a deep and troubled sleep filled with revealing visions of Maria. When they awaken, their eyes are gritty with soot.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Living target within 30 feet. Roll Charisma + Occult at Difficulty 6. Affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, your target becomes drowsy for the next 30 seconds, during which time they suffer an additional -2 dice Penalty to all Actions. At the end of their drowsiness, they fall asleep for Outcome x 3 minutes.
Sleeping targets will not prematurely wake up on their own, but may still be woken up by sudden loud noises, being jarred or splashed with water, taking Damage, or similar rousing events. They will also awaken before dying of hunger, thirst, or suffocation. Drowsy targets always fall asleep, regardless of what happens while they are drowsy.
You may determine the content of an affected target's dreams while they are asleep, but they must involve you in some way, and will reveal you as the source of their sleep as well as reveal secret information about yourself to them. By maintaining Concentration, you may enter their dreams and converse with them directly.
Extreme injuries require serious measures - people whining about paper cuts need a Bandage or Band-Aid instead. If the bandage is removed/significantly damaged, the wound returns unhealed - no peeking!
Exert your Mind and spend 2 Actions. Select a Living target within arm's reach. You must use up a Bandage or Band Aid (depending on the wound) in order to activate this Effect. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Intellect + Medicine at Difficulty 8.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome, unless it had Severity 4 or higher, in which case its Severity remains the same. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain. Your patient is required to Keep the Band-Aid/Bandage on it for the next month. If they violate this rule, your treatment is immediately reversed.
You may treat Severity 1 Injuries without making a roll or paying the Exertion cost, so long as they were not self-inflicted as an activation cost for an Effect.
Your ribcage and head bisect, revealing endless rows of teeth before stretching unnaturally and devouring your target in a single bite.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action.
You may withdraw an item from your stash, or add an item that is within arm’s reach to your stash. You may only stash targets which are in your possession, grappled, or otherwise controlled by you.
You may store any targets in your stash, each no larger than something which could fit inside an SUV (4,000 liters), and you may store up to 3 things at a time.
Animate targets may Resist being stashed. You must Exert your Mind to stash Sapient targets.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see your ribcage and head open like a demonic mouth before devouring the target.
Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Nightmares.
“You feel his mind in your mind. You don’t understand the language, but you understand the sentiment…”
Angel now has the ability to understand any human, regardless of tongue, by listening to the Universal Language. This leaves a bitter, earthy taste in his and the target’s mouth like what Angel drank in the dunes. On Angel’s side, the world seems to warp and ripple; this effect is much more slight to observers.
Gained languages: Zulu
Activated Rune: Communication
The shamans in the desert brought Angel on a hallucinogenic spiritual journey to break his curse from the rats. Since then, he’s been able to concentrate and recall the energy of the concoction he drank to unlock this second vision.
