Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

The Kitsune's Mask
Stay safe for me, okay?
You raise the bracelet up in front of yourself and run your fingers over the beads. Your body shimmers with a gentle blue discoloration, silently shifting your appearance to create a perfect illusion from head to toe.
Kayleigh Jones created this artifact from the depths of her soul in order to protect both her friends and herself from the curious eyes of the real world.
The nature of the illusion is such that even the sensation of her tails brushing against those around her is wiped from their minds, replaced with the memory of a perfectly normal human woman.

Capricious Spirit's Skin
Skin twists, blackened veins pulse, joints pop - too many joints on that finger, take one away.
Eyes too bright, too focused - deaden them.
Stare into them and you find your skin raising despite your common sense. Your gut screams danger, but your friend looks at you with a smile.
Too wide.
That to destroy earth's music is to create confusion;
that to wreck her appearance is to blind us to beauty;
We indulge her children within us.

Self Reflection
If I could've just done things differently...
Jacob clutches his rosary, whispers a small prayer, and focuses on what decisions he made that brought him to this point. Shattered memories of alternate branches, alternate versions of him, come to mind. The multiverse is vast, and his branching decisions are many. Once he picks a path, his form shifts. Ghostly forms of these presents that never came to fruition manifest into a near corporeal form in front of him. These forms then get brutally maimed, crushed, and moulded into a small orb. It shines like a pearl, with a gleam of potential. Jacob swallows it and his body warps and alters to fit that form.
A blessing has been granted. Your thoughts, ideas, and maybe even regrets of them can be mixed into the fold, twisting and writhing within the orb. Rejoice! You can become others as well! What a wonderful gift for someone who loathes themselves to such a degree.
You let him die, Jacob.
It's time.

Many Masks, Many Faces
Children of the Light have many faces that they may exchange as easily as one might change one's hair or clothes. Extending this idea to looking human is child's play.
Hope lights a candle, and in the candle's light, they change. Their inhuman appearance gains the flush of life, their near-featureless mask vanishing under a new form that grows around the old, like wax sculpted around a scaffold.

Chromatophores
Subject O-8 has demonstated increased precision when utilizing its colour and shape changing abilities. on more than one occasion it has been found capable of a decently accurate approximation of a human being, capable of fooling most people at a glance.
