Legacy Power: Octopus Physique

An octopus feels immortal. Let's take it for ourselves!

A 1 Gift Regeneration Power used by Cedric, created by T3K.

Description

After ingesting the diseased flesh of a giant octopus, you have gained a portion of its former power. In this case, you have usurped the regenerative properties of the sea creature. Your body, now turned into an ever changing pigment, regenerates much faster than the average human being.

Specifically in this case, Cedric carries a fear of sharks (Galeophobia) with this thanks to his near-death encounter with a zombified megalodon.

System

Any stabilized Injury heals quickly, reducing its severity by one level each time a day elapses. Therefore, if you have the cool-down parameter at level 1 (three days), and you have an Serious (4) Injury, it will drop to Threatening (3) in three days and be fully healed in 12 days. This power does not heal battle scars or Exertion.

Enhancements

  • Clotting (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.)

Drawbacks

  • Monstrous (Possessing this Power causes a mutation that elicits a strong, negative social response from the average person in your setting. The mutation is visible even if you are wearing long sleeves, pants, and shoes. Maximum one per Contractor.)
    • Mutation - Skin changes color like an octopus
  • Maddening (Possession of this Gift causes a Trauma that cannot be cured by any means. The chosen Trauma must be likely to come up on a Contract.)
    • Trauma - Galeophobia

Parameters

Cooldown: 2 ( 1 Day )
