ORCAnnihilator is subscribed to a premium messaging service within NEO-GENIS that bypasses typical chat and comm functionalities, interacting with them directly via UI and Menu elements. It also bypasses player ‘blocks’ and (at base rate) provides a one-way stream of communication. Some have called for its removal due to concerns of harassment and violation of privacy. Court-case pending.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target any distance away from you. You must have a specific target in mind, but you require only an intuitive understanding of them, such as their name, face, or Location.
You may send a single message to your target. It can be no more complicated than a multi-page letter or a long email.
The message will only be perceived by the intended recipient. You must share a common language for your target to understand the message.
The punk opens their hand and moves their fingers slightly as invisible strings attach themselves to their target and begin transmitting a command.
Exert your Mind and spend 2 Actions. Select a Device within 20 feet. Does not work on Alien technology. You must actively and obviously use an electronic device to activate this Effect. Roll Intellect + Technology, with the Difficulty set by the GM depending on the security of the system you are hacking. Sapient targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you may issue a single command to the targeted system. This command must have a specific outcome or be a request for specific login credentials. The command you issue must be within the machine's current capabilities. For example, you cannot order a standard security camera to grow legs and walk around.
When targeting non-computer devices, you may operate switches, buttons, dials, levers, and latches.
Every hack you make leaves behind a partially-filled loading logo in the system as a personal "calling card" that informs anyone who uses the system that the hack occurred.
Even though the augmented body parts remain almost identical after the procedure, when the subject is ready to use them the appearance of the limb will change showing the mutated form. After the subject finishes using them, the limb goes back to normal. To archive this effect the user of this gift must perform a small surgery on the desired limb he wants to modify.
This gift, born from the remnants of José Ramos legacy, is a marvel of modern science intertwined with the unpredictable beauty of biological mutation. This power, though divergent from José’s, allows the wielder to mold flesh and bone at will, sculpting the human form into a living testament of adaptability and evolution.
When the serum courses through the veins, it whispers secrets of potentiality, enabling the user to alter their physical form with precision and purpose. Claws can spring from fingertips, mobility can be enhanced to superhuman levels, and limbs can morph into versatile tools, each mutation a symphony of biological artistry. Once the need for transformation ends, the limb gracefully returns to its original form, leaving no trace of the extraordinary metamorphosis it underwent.
Exert your Mind and spend 30 minutes. Select a Living target within arm's reach. The target can easily Resist.
You may add one augmentation to your target. Each augmentation counts as a Battle Scar and can have exactly one of the following Effects:
The augmentations you provide are not outwardly visible nor obvious.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see the surgery to give a mutation must be done without any anesthesia and it’s a really bloody and messy procedure.
Your alteration "heals" over the course of the next month, after which it is fully cured.
Iryna’s skin begins to crack and pull apart as sickly, dangerous light is allowed to escape. Her essence, the source of her life and change is laid bare to the world and allowed to be free. Penetrating any wall or barrier and ignoring most armor as it flows out, wave after wave of toxic light.
Take a Severity-1 Injury and spend an Action. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. The area within 45 feet of you immediately and obviously becomes imminently dangerous. Anyone in the area has 1 Round to attempt to escape. During the next Round, on your Initiative, roll Brawn + Athletics at Difficulty 6.
If the Outcome is positive, your blast hits everything within 45 feet of you with Damage equal to your Outcome + 2. If you botched the activation roll, you will also take full Damage from the blast, otherwise it will not hurt you.
For the next 3 Rounds following the initial blast, this Effect will deal a new blast of damage to any targets remaining within range of you. The damage decays by 2 each Round.
Anyone who takes damage from the blast is knocked back away from you by a distance equal to the radius. They must succeed a Body roll, Difficulty 9, or be stunned for 1 round.
You may only use this Effect once per day.
See the blue flames of a thousand souls yearning to be free as you see your past sins burning in the chain of retribution
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target within 20 feet which has both fuel and oxygen available (if you are starting a new fire).
You may start or extinguish a fire as large as a fire in a residential fireplace at your target. Extinguishing a fire does not cost Exertion. You may create or extinguish fires the size of a lighter or candle flame without Exerting your Mind. Your fires require fuel and oxygen in order to continue burning.
Lighting a target on fire deals 3 Damage each Round on your turn, starting in the Round after the one in which they caught fire. This Damage is reduced by Armor, but the target’s Armor rating will be depleted by any Damage dealt, destroying the Armor once it reaches 0.
You may extinguish flames as a Reaction. This does not extend to explosives.
You may spend a Free Action on your initiative move a fire as large as a fire in a residential fireplace that is within 20 feet to another location within 20 feet. You may Exert your Mind to draw a line which a fire up to twice as large as a fire in a residential fireplace cannot cross.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Hear the souls of the damned.
Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: delusions of grandeur.
Like a cicada molting its skin, Nathan's spirit splits its way out of his body, a terrible gaseous form with conjoined masses flailing underneath. Reaching their target, Nathan expels their spirit, clawing into and imprisoning it into a nearby reflective surface before digging into them, remaining there.

If you succeed, you possess your target for the Contested Outcome in hours. The target has no control over their body or actions, though they retain consciousness and will remember anything that occurs during the possession.
Your original body will be left behind, unconscious. You may perceive through your original body's senses by Concentrating. If your original body is touched, you may roll Perception + Alertness to notice. You may spend an Action to end the possession early.
Stats: During the possession, you use the host body’s Body rating, but your own Mind rating. Any rolls you make use the host body’s Brawn, Dexterity, and Perception but your own Charisma, Intellect, and Abilities. You gain the effects of any physical Assets and Liabilities they have. You cannot read the target’s mind or memories.
Gifts: You have access to and can use any of your own Powers which are not intrinsic to your biology or physical body. You cannot access any Powers or other supernatural effects which the target has, unless they are intrinsic to the target’s biology or physical body.
Death: If the host body is killed or destroyed while you are still possessing it, you will die along with it. If the possession ends and your original body was killed or destroyed in some way, your disembodied spirit will haunt the location where your body died, and the only action you can take is activating this Effect on a new target within 20 feet.
Eviction: If you attempt to force your host to take actions which would violate one of their Limits or their instinct for self-preservation, they may resist by rolling Mind. If their Outcome is higher than or equal to the contested Outcome, the possession ends and you are evicted from their body.
While possessing your target, you may put them into “autopilot.” During this time they will act as they would normally for the situation without the knowledge that you are/were possessing them. This allows them to act “normal” around social contacts, type in passwords if they want to log in, etc. You have no control during this time.
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see spirit mutilation and imprisonment.
If you become Incapacitated or suffer an Injury Severity 4 or greater, this Effect ends.
The priest's miracles expand into the treatment and curing of poisons and diseases. To do so, they require a ceremonial dedication (or often re-dedication) to the service of their god, during which the priest and the patient pray together and perform ritualistic bloodletting. These wounds burn with holy, golden fire, attacking the sinful malady and expelling it from the body.

When you activate this Effect, instead of occurring immediately, you may choose to delay its effects until the target takes a particular Action. For example: "when they fire a gun" or "when they swim in deep water."
Instead of dealing Damage all at once, the Injury caused by this Power starts at Severity 1 and worsens at the rate of one level per Round until it reaches the Severity it would have otherwise been.
