The power to temporarily transform into a corpse-eating monster.
Used by Ringo Hidari, Created by ShinSeijin.
(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect or for its duration is very likely to be disturbed to see you becoming such monstrosity. )

Ringo's E.G.O Form has a flesh-like appearance, he now has a black suit with fragmented masks on some parts of it, the arms are fleshy and the left arm is significantly enlarged and has a mouth on it. The right side of the suit is covered in bloody lines resembling blood vessels, there is another mask growing on the left shoulder, a mouth on the right side of his chest, and several spikes growing on the left arm.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action.

You transform into a corpse-eating monster for 3 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are a corpse-eating monster, and you can use your equipment. Your Battle Scars, Injuries, and physical Liabilities are carried over between forms. Reverting from your Alternate Form cannot cause your existing Injuries to kill you. Instead, you remain Incapacitated.

While transformed, your Brawn is increased by 1. You do not suffer any Stress while transformed.

Your alternate form is its own deadly weapon. Unarmed attacks made in your alternate form deal +3 Weapon Damage (instead of the typical -1).

While transformed, instead of your normal clothes and equipment, you are equipped with: a flesh-like axe

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see you becoming such monstrosity.

Your alternate form renders you unable to speak any human language and incapable of fine object manipulation. You can only hold or grasp objects in a crude, clumsy way.

After this Effect ends, you cannot move quicker than a walk (15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.

  • Reminder: Weapon Damage from multiple sources does not stack. Instead, the highest value is used.
  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.
