2
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 'ego' manifest and changes his 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 black suit with fragmented masks on some parts of it, arms that 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.

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

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.

Exert your Mind and spend 2 Actions.

You become disguised in a manner of your choosing. The disguise lasts until you either activate a new disguise, or choose to end the effect.

The new appearance may have a different sex, age, and race to your own, and you may alter height by up to a foot and your weight by 50%. Your disguise may directly mimic the appearance of a specific individual. You may change the appearance of your outfit. You may add inhuman features to your disguise. Your disguise can alter your smell, DNA, and other aspects that are not perceivable via human senses. This does not conceal you against investigative Effects. A disguise cannot affect your Attributes or other stats.

You may roll Charisma + Crafts to attempt to make your disguise Beautiful. If your Outcome is 6 or higher, non-Effect Charisma rolls where your good looks could help are rolled at -2 Difficulty. If you fail or botch, you are ugly instead, and non-Effect Charisma rolls are made at +2 Difficulty.

You can "pass" in any culture or group without arousing suspicion as long as you look normal for that group and can communicate with those inside the group.

You may Exert your Mind and spend 2 Actions to apply a disguise to a target. The target can Resist your attempt. The disguise lasts until you choose to end the Effect and counts as a Battle Scar. All the same restrictions on the disguise’s appearance apply.

  • A performance check is generally required to pass with people who know the individual you're mimicking.
  • While you may alter your outfit's appearance, this does not grant or store equipment. This does not allow you to change the appearance of Artifacts or conceal their Alien appearance.
  • While you can add inhuman features, they are aesthetic only. Think star trek alien, monstergirl, demon, etc. Does not grant things such as a prehensile tail, an extra damaging brawl attack, improved senses, etc.
  • ‘Appearance’ includes voice, bone structure, skin quality, hair length and color, eye color, muscle tone, flesh texture, and generally anything perceivable about your body.

Expend a point of Battery and spend an Action. You must use up a pint of blood in order to activate this Effect.

You gain 4 additional limbs that function as standard human arms and hands. Lasts two hours.

Each additional limb you posses can take one Quick Action per Round without incurring a -2 dice penalty to your main Action. Each additional appendage you have gives you +1 dice to make and resist Grapples (up to a maximum bonus of +4 dice).

Any Battle Scars that affect or remove your additional limb will heal in a single week.

Your extra appendage can stretch to reach an additional 30 feet.

You may dedicate your extra Quick Action to contest any attempt to escape your Grapples. If you do so, you roll your full dice pool to contest and retain your Action to do anything that does not target the subject of your Grapple.

Your extra appendage is not connected to your nervous or circulatory systems, and you will not take damage if it is hit by an attack or destroyed.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see blood-soaked bandages twisting and slithering like monstrous tendrils.

Anyone who touches this Artifact will notice it warping their mind and may drop it. If they choose to hold or use it, they immediately receive the following Trauma: T̸̫̰̓H̴̱̩̏̓Ë̶͖́̉ ̵̢͉̉T̸̼̓Ǫ̷͚̇͗R̵̠̂M̴̮͑͐E̷̙̒̏Ṇ̶̭͛Ṱ̵̙̍̍: Your sleep is plagued with horrible nightmares of torture and experimentation. At the start of each Contract and each time you fall asleep, make a Self-Control roll. If you fail, you take one Mind damage.. If they lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next day.

Your Extra Appendage is incapable of fine object manipulation.

  • You may stretch, retract, or move your limbs 30 feet once per Round.
  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.

If no descendants of the alchemists targets are within 300 feet of you, and then one enters range, you automatically detect it, even if this Effect is not active.

Even if there are no descendants of the alchemists within 300 feet of you, you become aware of the direction the closest one is in, as well as a rough sense of its distance from you.

This Effect is obviously Alien and eye-catching across its range to those witnessing it, and you are obviously the source.
