Danielle has begun to understand the truth behind the world, and the hidden dangers that lurk just below the surface. Myth and legend which might've been thought of as a fairy tale or to scare children from venturing too deep into forest seem to be much more than first meets the eye. Stakes, holy water, and silver weapons might just save her one day.
Danielle has developed her prowess with melee weapons of all sorts, including improvised melee weapons like tree branches and wooden stakes. Even the most unique and strange weapons are handled perfectly in her hands, as if she's tapping into the deep experience of the monster hunters of the past. From axes to knives to whips to broken chair legs, Danielle is always prepared to execute dangerous creatures.

Angel now has the ability to understand any human, regardless of tongue, by listening to the Universal Language. This leaves a bitter, earthy taste in his and the target’s mouth like what Angel drank in the dunes. On Angel’s side, the world seems to warp and ripple; this effect is much more slight to observers.
Gained languages: Zulu
Activated Rune: Communication
The shamans in the desert brought Angel on a hallucinogenic spiritual journey to break his curse from the rats. Since then, he’s been able to concentrate and recall the energy of the concoction he drank to unlock this second vision.

With intense concentration and mental fortitude, Lod channels his will to extend their mind's influence beyond their physical body, effortlessly manipulating objects from a distance. No physical changes occur as Lod calls upon his psyche to bend the world around him to his will: lifting and moving items as if guided by invisible hands. Each movement requires precise mental control, turning thought into action in a seamless display of psychic power.
After getting home from his first contract, Lod felt something as he lay on his bed. In that moment of quietness, while probing his mind, Lod found he could see and touching something in his mind's eye, that was not there before: it was the mental manifestation of his new powers. After exercising his mental capabilities to the max during the many stressful situations, or perhaps even being in close proximity to such a powerful supernatural kid such as Benji (who could not control his own powers), during his first contract: Lod found his own mental abilities had expanded and transcended to a whole new level.

The Toon performs some sort of cartoonish act of violence. This may be handing someone a bomb, hitting someone with a cartoon mallet, burping a burp that is so noxious it melts flesh, or anything else as long as it is cartoonish.
The attack is more of a throwaway gag than a plot element, so any props or properties of the attack are incidental and disappear immediately. Animated mallets evaporate in a puff of smoke, fire does not spread, and electricity cannot power devices.
