Phoenix Protocol: Life Reboot Each death, only makes the flame burn stronger
Nanites used to save Bu Fang life continues to operate, maintaining his existence, whenever he approaches death, it keeps his form intact. In turn, his body keeps the nanite safe, bonding to him on a molecular level. Yet this also makes his body susceptible to instant change of temperature. If taken from extreme heat like a vat of magma, then dropped into a vat of nitrogen, it shatters the nanites.
Edit: Nothing wrong with this power other than the flavor is a bit bad - I changed it to "Must be Cooked & Eaten" to keep on the nose with concept, but whatever you want I guess.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
If you would take an Injury that would kill you, you don’t die. Instead, you survive in an Incapacitated state. This state lasts for the next hour, at which point you fully return to life.
While Incapacitated, your only weakness is must be cooked & eaten, and if you take Damage from it, you will die. Damage from other sources will still be dealt and can cause Battle Scars, but will only kill you if your body is destroyed completely. If your weakness is not immediately obvious, attackers may roll to discover it. After you return, the Injury that would have killed you, as well as any Injuries sustained while Incapacitated, are healed. Battle scars obtained during this time remain.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Warrior's Dreaded Endurance
"Regret keeps him alive, though time says he should be dead
Grognar's body goes limp, his skin losing its warmth and color, as though the very essence of life has drained from him. The air around him grows heavy with regret, faintly shimmering with the weight of his past. His heart appears still, but a slow, steady pulse begins to return as his wounds heal unnaturally fast, a haunting reminder that death cannot claim him
