Monster I can still change my future right

2
The power to temporarily transform into ________.
Used by Trav Brown, Created by EYECLONE.
(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect or for its duration is very likely to be disturbed to see A child is shot through the back of the head. You must actively and obviously be using up A written note telling him that he is still in control of his future.)

Trav begins to panic and look around franticly, he then pulls out a small, crumpled piece of paper that he has written something on. If anyone looks closely the paper is an affirmation to himself that he is the one who decides his future. After reading the paper again he seems to calm down. At this point in time a soldier seems to appear behind him holding a rifle and levels it. Trav then starts to scream for help before he is silenced by 5 rounds piercing his skull fires. The paper slowly flutters to the floor and is stained with blood. If anyone looks closely the soldier is wearing a dog tag with only the name Trav Brown legible anymore.

When Trav sleeps he doesn't have normal dreams, He is instead put in the body of a future version of himself, that person being a soldier who was drafted when war a broke out, that soldier through much bloodshed grew to enjoy killing even taking pride in the number of people killed, taking their fear as a complement. After his first contract this nightmare has gained power over Trav and con now take physical form. Trav calls this person the Monster as an attempt to separate himself from this thing he could become

While transformed, instead of your normal clothes and equipment, you are equipped with: Flak Jacket + Helmet, Rifle, 1 grenade, 1 flashbang, 1 knife, 10 magazines

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see A child is shot through the back of the head.

When you activate this Effect, roll a single D10. if the result is 5 or lower, you receive a Severity-1 Injury and a Minor Battle Scar.

The first page of the Necornomicon tells of a dark, soul-binding ritual that tethers a lost life to a still living one. A simple curse, the first trick in every necornmancer's arsenal, and yet the consequences of such a spell can be... disastrous, to say the least. The texts advise any potential users to prioritize finding lesser beings to become their soul-bound familiars, as life restored in this way is fickle and disturbing, even taxing to the caster's very being. Loved ones never return in a form that's entirely correct, and some things are better left resting in peace.

Perhaps a grief-stricken farmboy who just discovered where his heart lies was not the best person to bestow the Necornomicon unto. But whatever, close enough, welcome back Stevewalker from 7-Eleven.

Increase your sacrificial Injury's Severity by 1 and spend an Action.

Summon a single Sapient Corn-Infested Stevewalker at your location. They last for two hours or until they are destroyed. They are controlled by the GM but will follow any commands you give. You may have at most one active at a time.

  • Unusual: Minions are not obviously Alien.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see a brief blood sacrifice, followed by a long-dead skinwalker emerging from the ground, with corn stalks entwining its decaying limbs.

Their Armor applies in full. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.
