Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Unbreakable
In a harbor warehouse, screams and gunshots thunder throughout the morning chill. Inside a man crashes in a tower of wooden crates, bones shattered like glass under the weight of them. Another man is sprawled on the ground, his back bent inwards while his mangled arms rope around his neck. Around lay a dozen man all mangled, bleeding on the ground like rabid dogs. A lone survivor was all that remain, picked up by the throat as the gun in his hand was crushed by a fist larger than his , not even a scream can make it out of his strained trachea. Then a hand gripped his mandibles and the other that grasped his throat now hinged itself onto his upper maw. Slowly the hands pulled away , the mandible and the maw slowly being ripped apart as the splitting scream and sound of ripping tissue play in harmony.

Drinker of the Red Grail
"My limbs are strong as cables."
Emily does not remember the night she drank from the Red Grail.
Her body does, however.
After a certain party, where she asked Gen-Wyld for better mods - and a willingness to pay, of course - she was denied. After ~~storming out~~ leaving the party, she was approached by another. He offered what she wanted.
Attending a ceremony of the Red Grail, she was offered a chance to drink from it. And she did.
She only remembers what else happened that night in her redmost dreams.
She awoke the next morning in her bed, her body aching. Her fur and bed both soaked with sweat and other fluids. Her muscles - her entire body - bulges and there's a soft feeling of electricity in all of it.
She just hopes the tremors in her paws go away. Cyclobenzaprine seems to help with that.
