Reaper Death was the means, Not the ends.

2
Requires Seasoned
You possess an augmented or inhuman body.
Used by "Widow" Stryker, Created by SeedofEntropy.
(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you appear outwardly monstrous or socially unacceptable. )

Finding that the afterlife is far more complex than anyone suspected, Widow chose who she would Reap for, and the Void was her calling. Gifted with terrible beauty and grace, Widow is as ageless as death itself.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

You are permanently and visibly transformed: Reaper. You are considered to be a Sapient, Non-Living being when targeted..

You are immune to damage from cold. If cold is a substantial component of other damage you would take (e.g. falling from a great distance into a vat of liquid nitrogen), that damage is reduced by 2 (in addition to Armor)

Your Injuries no longer degrade with time.

You are immune to damage from heat and flames. If heat is a substantial component of other damage you would take (e.g. slashed with a flaming sword), that damage is reduced by 2 (in addition to Armor)

The Severity of any Injury caused by Death's Blade is increased by 2.

  • Your heat resistance does not extend to your equipment. Fire does not degrade this effect over time.
  • The increase in Injury Severity stacks with any similar effects, such as the Silver Bullets drawback on Regeneration.
  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.
