From the three pulsating diodes in Jackie's head, a beam is formed. Unbending, and certainly unyielding the red pulsating beam melts flesh and bursts clothes into flames with mere contact. Although the effect is searing red hot pain, the beam looks like a regular almost laser pointer beam. Charred flesh and cooking meat fills the senses of anybody unfortunate enough to witness such a thing.
As customary for every field agent of X, Jackie has a form of self defense. His facial cybernetics mark him as a field agent, but also has a dual purpose. Unassuming, the cybernetics have a slight red glow to them, which can draw attention. upon activation, the pulsating and the glow mount until they lance forth, peaking in a triangular shape. From here, the lance is unleashed upon any fool who needs a reminder of the weakness of their flesh. (uses same stats as rifle.) rolls off tech/dex

**Description:** The "Body of the Ancient Cryptic" passively alters the user’s body, giving them a primal, beast-like appearance combined with ancient, mystical energies. These physical changes not only enhance their combat abilities but also make them appear more formidable and inhuman to those around them.
Visible Changes:
- Beastly Claws: The user's hands and fingers elongate slightly, ending in sharp, retractable claws. These claws appear to be made of a dark, obsidian-like material and can tear through most materials with ease.
- Feral Eyes: Their eyes take on a bestial quality, with slit-like pupils and a glowing, predatory hue—often amber, red, or another unnatural color. These eyes grant heightened vision, especially in darkness.
- Rugged, Enhanced Physique: The user’s muscles are denser, their bones more robust, and their posture slightly hunched, resembling a primal predator. This gives them enhanced strength and agility beyond normal human limits.
- **Roughened Skin:** Their skin takes on a tougher, almost hide-like texture, with patches of scales or hardened ridges in certain areas, providing natural armor.
- Elongated Teeth: The user’s teeth sharpen into fangs, giving them a fearsome grin and enabling them to bite with great force when necessary.
- Beastial Presence: A low growl or snarl might be heard from the user when they are angered or in danger. Their overall demeanor is predatory, making others instinctively sense danger in their presence.
These beastly transformations, combined with ancient, arcane markings and energies, make the user a terrifying force, blending primal strength with cryptic wisdom.
