The Price for Stardom

You possess an augmented or inhuman body.
Used by Smoke Locket, Created by Battlerwinner.
(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you appear outwardly monstrous or socially unacceptable. )

Smoke has been blessed with the permanance one needs to continue being a hip popstar. His pale skin is often hidden with excessive makeup, his fangs are trimmed or hidden on set and befitting of a baron he spends his days exploring the cities he tours and meeting people from all sides of life to add to his menagerie.


You gain the following benefits at all times.

You are permanently and visibly transformed: Paler skin and extended fangs. 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)

You no longer age naturally, and supernatural attempts to age you fail.

Your Injuries no longer degrade with time.

You may make a +2 Weapon Damage Bite/Claw attack without additional equipment.

Whenever you enter Combat, roll Self-Control. If you fail, you cannot choose which targets to attack and cannot stop fighting until there are no targets remaining.

The Severity of any Injury caused by Fire is increased by 2.

  • 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.

Ianthe knows how she comes across. She's weak and harmless, yet fun and pretty enough for people to loose their lips around. She plays into it often in order to get people on her side. By far the most devilish part of her facade is that she is usually genuinely concerned.

If you would take an Injury that would kill you, you don’t die. Instead, you survive in an Incapacitated state. This state lasts for the next hour, at which point you fully return to life. Unstabilized Injuries do not degrade while you are Incapacitated

If, while you are unconscious, your wound level rises above your rating in Body + your rating in Body, or if you take an Injury with Severity greater than twice your rating in Body, you die. After you return, the Injury that would have killed you, as well as any Injuries sustained while Incapacitated, are healed. Battle scars obtained during this time remain.

Upon closer inspection, it looks to be made of hundreds, no, thousands of scale-like ceramic chunks, interlinked with kinetic-resistant farbrics underneath. As one is struck, it tips sideways, redistributing the energy to the nearby smaller scales, spreading the impact over a much larger area and emitting a muffled ringing sound. While great at stopping strikes that arrive at a slowed pace, constant kinetic absorption will cause the ceramic to heat up, softening or even cracking it. The material will take time to cool and heal itself, mending tiny cracks that may form from constant grazing hits.
