Become Someone Else "Who?"

2
The power to change your appearance.
Used by Chip Douglas, Created by Redchigh.
(When activating this Effect, you are obviously changing your appearance. You must actively and obviously be using Disguise Kit, or at the very least, makeup..)

Chip's a master at blending in, but can lose touch with who he really is quite easily..

When he first started flipping identities, the disguises we're subtle. Glasses, perhaps peroxide bleached hair.
After lots of time, anxiety, and an experimental spirit, he's learned quite a few tricks in prosthetics, makeup, and most importantly, method acting.

Spend a minute to activate. You must actively and obviously use Disguise Kit, or at the very least, makeup. to activate this Effect. Make a Trauma roll when you activate this Effect.

You become disguised in a manner of your choosing. The disguise lasts for an hour and a half, or you may end it early at will.

The new appearance may have a different sex, age, and race to your own, and you may alter height by up to a foot and your weight by 50%. Your disguise cannot directly mimic an existing person. You may change the appearance of your outfit. You may add inhuman features to your disguise. A disguise cannot affect your Attributes or other stats.

This Gift's Cost is capped at 2 and cannot be increased further.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Split Personality Disorder- He does not recall being disguised while disguised- he believes he IS the disguised person, likely becoming making a mind roll if shown evidence..

  • While you may alter your outfit's appearance, this does not grant or store equipment.
  • While you can add inhuman features, they are aesthetic only. Think star trek alien, monstergirl, demon, etc. Does not grant things such as a prehensile tail, an extra damaging brawl attack, improved senses, etc.

Soren found this cat when she was just a kitten at one of his stake-outs into a suspected supernatural old money family in Bavaria, but decided to keep it. As she grew up, she began to develop human speech at a very fast pace, this was quite clearly a supernatural cat, Soren knew he couldn't just hand her over to the feds. As a result, he raised her as his own; she had acquired human-level intelligence astoundingly quickly and began to develop her own personality. She also has very nimble and dexterious paws, allowing her manual dexterity.

As Nina grew older she informed Soren of her abilities, allowing him to be able to summon her at will, forming a supernatural pact with him. He now takes her with him on his missions, using her innate stealth and observation abilities to assist him.

Nina has a witty and observant personality, often displaying a dry sense of humour that catches Soren off guard. She is fiercely independent and prefers to watch the world from a distance, but when Soren is in danger, she becomes fiercely protective, ready to lend her unique abilities to assist him in any way she can.
