Gestation "We're all uglier in the mirror, in retrospect."
Nathan's hand punctures the target and yanks on the emotions and being reflected onto the world from the target before he pulls it out, giving it form. Twisting it into a misshapen tumor connected to the target, something resembling a newborn yōkai growing out of them, sucking on their essence and corresponding sensations into itself, as it lends its capabilities.
The target can always see their disturbing form reflected.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. You may only target yourself. The target can easily Resist.
You may add one augmentation to your target. Each augmentation counts as a Trauma and can have exactly one of the following Effects:
- Specialized: You receive +3 dice to a particular non-combat Action.
- Environmental Adaptation: You do not suffer harm from heat, cold, pressure, or lack of oxygen in a particular environment, provided that challenge normally exists in that environment.
- Implanted Tool: You have access to the functionality of some common Device at all times. The selected Device can be no larger than a backpack.
- Armor: You have 3 Armor at all times. As always, Armor from multiple sources does not stack.
- Pouch: Part of your body functions as a hidden pocket. It can hold no more than a backpack.
- Zippy: Your Free Movement is increased by 15 feet.
- Maws and Claws: Your unarmed attacks do +3 Weapon Damage instead of -1.
By transplanting a body part from another creature, you can grant a Powers intrinsic to that body part to the subject.
The augmentations you provide are not outwardly visible nor obvious.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see the forming of a lingering yōkai.
- The systems for any Powers or Effects granted by splicing from other creatures are subject to Playgroup Leader approval and may be adjusted from their NPC counterparts.
- When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
- Remember: A Contractor’s Body rating is reduced by 1 for each Battle Scar after their fourth.
- You may not augment targets with pouches or implanted devices that are larger than they are.
- Targets without Body ratings may have a maximum of 4 augmentations.
- You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
- Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

A Thousand Forms

Prismatic Fusion
Where flesh meets the infinity.
At the heart of Jessica's research lies the revelation that crystalline light isn't merely an advanced concept in particle physics, but a manifestation of alien intelligence with its own will to form. Harnessing this phenomenon as a bridge, Jessica can merge alien genetic material with human physiology, yielding disturbing yet powerful biological enhancements. As she channels this ability, crystals of light proliferate across the room and patient, emanating an opalescent glow that shifts and writhes with impossible colors.
The process begins as luminescent crystal tendrils pierce the subject's skin, branching out like glowing veins beneath the surface. Affected areas undergo rapid, unsettling metamorphoses – limbs elongate unnaturally, extra eyes sprout in unexpected places, or skin becomes translucent, revealing pulsating, alien organs. Throughout the operation, the patient experiences intense fever and vivid hallucinations, a harrowing ordeal that subsides after several hours.
These alterations bestow superhuman abilities, with the enhanced flesh eventually conforming to the patient's original shape. However, occasional quivers and the development of colored geometric patterns betray the struggle of alien matter to maintain its new form within the human host. While temporary, the process leaves behind residual changes: faint, glowing skin patterns and fleeting flashes of inhuman perception serve as constant reminders of the tenuous veil between humanity and the cosmic unknown.
Exert your Mind and spend 30 minutes. Select a Living or Animate target within arm's reach. Your target must make a Trauma roll to reap the benefits of this Effect. They may choose to Resist the Effect and not make the roll. The target can easily Resist.

Hideous, isn't he?
Evolution is funny, when transcending humanity with evolution shackled by an ancient curse one has to remember that you don't get many chances at getting it right. Unless you're Lucas. Wrestling with his genetics and his curse simultaneously seems to have produced an odd clash, and it manifests in the deliberate vitae control he has developed in order to create horrifying but effective mutations for almost any given situation.
