You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.

Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is doubled.

  • Any Encumbrance penalty to your movement still applies, but you do not suffer from any sort of exhaustion.
  • Damage from a collision depends on your speed at the time, as well as what you hit. GM's discretion, but generally moving faster than a car on the freeway and hitting a dense, solid object like a wall or a tree should be lethal. Mundane armor will not apply, but any supernatural forms of protection will.

You gain the following benefits as long as you have your Dragon Tattoo on forearm snaking around to shoulder.

Your Dexterity rating is increased by 1. You may Exert your Mind to automatically gain an Outcome of 5 on any roll that uses Dexterity (Cannot be used on combat rolls or Power activations).

Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: cut horizontally across nose and Gash in Chest like a bear swipe.

If you are witnessed actively using this Effect, whoever sees it can make a Perception + Alertness roll at Difficulty 6. A complete success reveals the source of your power.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Centered: You have perfect balance. You cannot be knocked over, and can maintain your footing regardless of the size or stability of the material underneath you.
  • Infinity-Jointed: Your body is incredibly flexible, allowing you to maneuver and squeeze through tight spots as if you were the size of a cat, and you get +3 dice to rolls which require extreme flexibility, such as escaping grapples.
  • Track Star: You may always move at your full Dash speed without any penalty.

  • Reminder: to calculate the distance you can dash in one Round of combat, add together Dexterity + Brawn + 1, and multiply that by 5 feet.
  • If your Dragon Tattoo on forearm snaking around to shoulder is damaged, destroyed, or lost, you lose all benefits from this Effect for the next two months, or until you can recover any relevant missing items (which may involve a side-game and requires a GM to approve whatever process is used).
  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.

The gift of Cosmic Colossus was passed down through Caine’s Native American ancestors, a power that originated not from earthly forces, but directly from the stars themselves. It began with a celestial encounter long ago, when Caine's first ancestor, Takwah, a great warrior, was chosen by the night sky during a fateful vision quest. On a night when the stars shone brighter than ever, Takwah sought wisdom from the heavens, offering his spirit to the sky in exchange for the strength to protect his people. In response, the stars above shifted and aligned, sending a torrent of starlight cascading down upon him, binding his very being to the cosmic forces.

This celestial power wasn’t an earthly force; it was the raw, untapped strength of the stars themselves—fiery, ancient, and infinite. The stars granted Takwah the ability to harness the essence of the cosmos, amplifying his physical prowess far beyond normal human limits. His muscles became vessels of stellar energy, pulsing with the power of supernovas and quasars. His strength came from the stars' light and gravity, and with it, he could lift massive boulders, move mountains, and withstand blows that would shatter a normal human body.

Any Injury you receive heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every 6 hours. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active do not deteriorate over time. However, any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will remain unless it is Properly Stabilized as normal.

You may Exert your Mind and spend an Action to reduce the Severity of one of your Injuries by 2. Does not affect Injuries suffered as an activation cost for Effects.

All Injuries you receive are considered Properly Stabilized. You may also choose to heal any Battle Scar on yourself that may not have been caused by an Injury. Doing so takes one day, and the Battle Scar affects you fully until that time.

Once an Injury has been reduced in Severity by two levels, it no longer benefits from this effect and instead heals as normal.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

Any Injury you receive from a source other than Demonic (Christian Hell) heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every 6 hours. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active automatically count as a successful Proper Stabilization and do not deteriorate further. Any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will heal with the Injury.

Injuries you receive from Demonic (Christian Hell) are increased in Severity by 1.

  • The increase in Injury Severity stacks with any similar effects, such as the Vulnerable drawback on Inhuman Physiology.
