You possess reduced biological needs.
Used by Juan Pablo Alejandro del Carmen Castillo, Created by omegaman.
(This Effect has no explicit visibility requirement.)

This causes pale skin on a permanent basis and when used to adapt to an environment causes a glow around his body as he is channeling the spiritual power as a shield around his body, protecting it from harm.

This is like a spiritual forcefield. JP is channeling their energy as a cover.


You gain the following benefits at all times.

You may go five times longer than a normal human without food and water. You no longer age naturally, and supernatural attempts to age you fail.

You may Exert your Mind to adapt to your current environment for three hours. While adapted, you do not suffer harm from heat, cold, pressure, or lack of oxygen in that environment, provided that challenge normally exists in that environment.

You may spend one minute entering a state of hibernation, during which you are inanimate and unaffected by any requirements for life. You may still perceive the outside world and may spend 3 Rounds ‘waking up’ to end it.
