Oaken Flesh

1
You possess an augmented or inhuman body.
Used by 'Demonic Deciduous' Logan Wellls, Created by Kyota.
(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you appear outwardly monstrous or socially unacceptable. )

The arm of this one has been completely replaced with wood, twisted and knotted, weaving together like muscles.

The arms circulatory system has been replaced with roots that extend into the blood vessels in the left shoulder and take the needed nutrients from the bloodstream. A side effect of this is the darkening of the blood in the rest of the body as tannins are added into it resulting in a dark reddish brown color. The nervous system has been replaced with a mycelium which fuses with the nervous system in the shoulder and allows the arm to be controlled as normal. The flesh and skin are no more having completely turned to wood and the bone has been replaced with oaken heartwood.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

You are permanently and visibly transformed: Wooden Left Arm. You are considered to be a Sapient, Living being when targeted..

You may make a +2 Weapon Damage Unarmed attack without additional equipment.

  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.

Ophir was born with a rather strange ability, even among the rare few in the world whose lineage gave them minor supernatural powers. Even as a baby, his light brown irises looked oddly mechanical... and his pupils would dilate and contract with quiet clicks. Neither of his parents understood where this odd mutation came from, but they loved him and raised him the same as his brothers and sister.

Even before he was able to speak, Ophir's memory was unmatched by his peers. It wasn't until he was in elementary school that his parents realized that he might be more than what meets the eye. Photos started showing up on the family computer that could've never been taken with a normal camera... with strange and unexpected angles at times when no technology had been around.

He was bitten by the photojournalism bug after joining the A/V club at his High School and starting to better understand camera technology and technique and how it could be used to show the world to those who need to see it. Once he understood the capabilities of mundane cameras... he knew exactly what he would need to do to his own underdeveloped "body cam".
