One man, many faces. "What if things were different?"

2
The power to change your appearance.
Used by Harry Davis, Created by therustyy257.
(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect is very likely to be disturbed to see Turns into smoke. You must actively and obviously be using up Cigarettes.)

Harry pulls out a cigarette, lights up and closes his eyes.

Taking drag after drag he lets his mind wonder, focusing it on the endless possibilities of what could have been, all of his regret and guilt washing over him, enveloping him as he fiddles with his old wedding ring.

As if mimicking this feeling the smoke Harry puffs out lingers around him, only to start enveloping him, covering his every prominent feature until he can no longer be seen behind the vale of smoke.

Soon after someone or something else steps out from the smoke cloud, carrying the same tired regret filled gaze as Harry, stinking of cigarette smoke.


Spend a minute to activate. You must use up Cigarettes in order to 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 cannot alter your clothes. You may add inhuman features to your disguise. A disguise cannot affect your Attributes or other stats.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Turns into smoke.

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

  • 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.
  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.

This is a spell gleaned from fragments of Cultes des Goules, a book written on the Ghoul Cults of 16th Century France. The process is both painful & horrific, as the flesh of the target is consumed, the body of the imbiber flows like wax, melting into it's new shape.
