Umbra's Reprise

5
Requires Seasoned
You possess the ability to rapidly heal yourself.
Used by Luci Alessi, Created by Riley.

Umbra's shadow will climb up her own body like rolling black rainwater. Black tendrils will shoot to different portions of the wound and slowly close them up. If the wound would have killed her, a line of shadowy stitches will follow along the injury.


You gain the following benefits at all times.

Any Injury you receive heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every 10 minutes. 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.

As long as at least half your body remains intact, you cannot die and remain at Incapacitated, regardless of how many Injuries you take. It is clear to observers that you are still alive.

You may Exert your Mind and spend an Action to reduce the Severity of one of your Injuries by 1. Does not affect Injuries suffered as an activation cost for Effects.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Must roll Trauma to change her course of objective direction once shes decided it..

Project Report: The Resonator is a wonder! We should be able to pull any defense contract we can find once they see the applications of the arm & it's cybernetic guidance system.
