Witness Protection "Your body is a temple."

2
Requires Novice
You possess protection against attacks.
Used by Frank Russo, Created by Ozz.

Frank's blood has grown darker, almost black. You'd have to open him up to tell but there's almost white splotches moving around inside of him, a monochrome mess beneath his skin. After embracing the grittier aspects of life, he's become even more in touch with the essence of Film Noir. It's gotten to the point where emotional hardening's become physical hardening.

Any spilt blood left behind by Frank is now in shades of black and white. While his veins still show as blue, it's a fair bit easier to tell that he's supernatural given the whole y'know.. blood thing. He may still be able to get a transfusion, doesn't mean he'll ever be allowed to donate blood again though.


You gain the following benefits at all times.

You have 4 Armor, which reduces incoming Damage. Armor from multiple sources does not stack. This Armor cannot be circumvented with Called Shots.
