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.

Goodberry
A druid lives off the land
Lizzie focuses, and from the ground, or her staff, a bit of vibrant green grows and spreads upward creating a small plant. A single berry grows from it. That berry goes bad if not eaten soon. If eaten, it tastes sweet, and keeps the body energized for a day, without need for food, water, sleep or oygen.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Animate target within arm's reach.
For the next 24 hours, your target does not require any food, water, sleep, or air. Any roll to resist an Effect dependent on any affected requirement is made at -1 Difficulty.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
- Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.
Unusual Nature

Potential Energy Matrix
Remember to save your progress before shutting down.
A new feature among Sapphire Sundown units currently being rolled out, the Potential Energy Matrix is a series of wires, power cells, and motion collectors that are installed inside each unit’s chassis. The system is accessible from the unit’s back via a small panel, and makes all units entirely self-sufficient for all energy needs.
Units are still required to power down in order to give the Matrix time to properly recharge.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
You no longer require any food, water, or air in order to survive. Any roll to resist an Effect dependent on any affected requirement automatically succeeds.

Boundless Spirit
“I would rather not have a Donner Party Situation.”
There is no longer a requirement for Bio-fuel, nor much fuel in general. The soul is this unit's power source. HND-E only requires an adequate amount of time in SLEEP Mode to reset and dream of better days ahead.

Freeze Metabolism
Tick tock, tiiiick tooooooooooooooo...
Litia touches someone whose metabolic processes slow down, then stop for the next 24 hours. The initial stopping visibly messes with time dependent activities around Litia and her target, leaves falling in reverse, insects stopping in mid-air for a fraction of a second, sweat returning to the pores and sounds speeding up or slowing down.
The immense metaphysical pressure this puts on a living being prevents the repeated use, if you don't want to freeze in place forever.
Spend an Action. Select a Animate target within arm's reach. This Effect cannot be used unless the target wasn't targeted for the last 28 days.
For the next 24 hours, your target does not require any food, water, sleep, or air. Any roll to resist an Effect dependent on any affected requirement is made at -1 Difficulty.
This Gift cannot have more than 3 Drawbacks, and its Gift Cost is capped at 2.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
- Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

Undersea Explorer
The dark depths of the ocean are inhospitable for most... but not for you
