Requires Seasoned
You possess an augmented or inhuman body.
Used by Rei Hashimoto (零 橋本), Created by Monday.
(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you appear outwardly monstrous or socially unacceptable. )

The result of arcane secrets imbued into an artificial frame to create an intelligent weapon, Rei is a hybrid between magic and machine-- granting them heightened physical and logical ability. Additionally, their voice is partially synthetic, their words spoken as if through a filter.
Their implanted weapons deploy out of their hands, with their left replacing its fingers with steel cylinders capable of rapid, automatic gunfire, and their right able to blast precise magical missiles from their wrist.

Magic Missile Propulsors Stats (Right Hand): +1 Damage, 200/400/600 Range, Reload 4. May Full Auto Sweep at +2 Difficulty Laser-Dot. Submachine Gun stats.

Your frame is partially steel, your voice is synthetic, and your eyes are heterochromatic. You are easily recognizable and alienated from others.

You must roll Self Control in order to let another person remain in a position where they could easily hurt you, or to allow someone else to perform a task which is necessary to keep yourself safe.
