Legacy Power: Blue Jay Mutation

Mankind always fears what they do not understand. And so I have to question why I ever believed mankind would be accepting of the next evolutionary leap. Why I ever thought people could do anything other than flock to hatred as they cultivate their dysmorphophobia.

A 3 Gift Inhuman Physiology Power used by Gray Dickson, created by BetaCakes.

Description

Your once bright blue eyes have been replaced by bright yellows irises as your eyes have become abnormally-large.

Your lips and nose have melded together, diminishing into a fleshy sheathe for the beak that has replaced your teeth. You can keep the beak concealed when you are not speaking, but it’s most comfortable to let its pointed black tip protrude a bit.

You have developed a truly gnarly rash of goosebumps over most of your skin. Blue feathers are sprouting from your back and arms, giving you a mangy, uneven appearance.

This new monstrous form presents the benefit of having increased perception and spatial awareness that has manifested itself in increased hand eye coordination with thrown weapons as well as a sharpened sense of perception.

Now you can see and hear more clearly the screams and shocked faces of those that witness your visage.

System

Passive, no costs. Bonuses to stats are additive to the dice pool, they don't require you to purchase additional ranks in any abilities. Bonuses from multiple sources to the same dice pool do not stack.

Beak attack = Brawn + Brawl

Enhancements

  • Savage Body Part (You have a particularly vicious body part, such as horns or wolverine claws. Brawl attacks with said body part get +1 damage, and Brawn does not act as Armor against them.)

    • Body Part - Beak attack

  • Boosted Attribute (You gain +1 to an Attribute in your Alternate Form. You cannot boost an Attribute more than once with this Enhancement.)

    • Attribute - Perception

  • Able-bodied (Your body has a beneficial inhuman adaptation. This can provide up to +3 dice to a specific non-Attack Action (swimming, lockpicking, etc))

    • Chosen Action - Throwing

Drawbacks

  • Monstrous (Possessing this Power causes a mutation that elicits a strong, negative social response from the average person in your setting. The mutation is visible even if you are wearing long sleeves, pants, and shoes. Maximum one per Contractor.)
