You possess superhuman people skills.
Used by Francis Emmanuel Bertrandé, Created by NetherBoats.
( Your A shallow stab wound in the occipital bone must be used or obviously visible while you are actively benefitting from this effect.)

The mother gem shard glows purple, so too does his wound which if used in pitch-darkness may be easily seen. The person's eyes will slowly look around for a few seconds.

The mother gem shard and person's brain are working together to gain insight on the emotional state of others nearby, utilizing the stab wound as its main source of connection. The shard uses its unique power to scan its surroundings, while the brain turns it into comprehensible data.

It is theorized that this process were made and had been slowly refined by Francis' own mindset. Back when he first encountered the shard, he felt it poking in his brain, causing stress and hallucinations. Overtime, through some unexplainable mental process, he was able to merge the abstract signals sent to cooperate with his interests. It turns into some kind of twisted representation of his desire to predict every other people's move, so that whatever he does, he will always remain in an advantageous spot.

You gain the following benefits as long as you have your A shallow stab wound in the occipital bone.

  • Me, an Empath: You have an intuitive understanding of the emotional state of any Animate being within 20 feet.
