Monster How stained will my hands become

3
The power to temporarily transform into a Soldier.
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 confirming that he is in control.)

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. After a period of time the soldier appears to be riddled with bullets with blood gushing out of his body before falling face first on the ground the blood beginning to pool around the body as the body continues to bleed the sounds of a child crying can be heard and another look at the body reveals Trav curled up and crying.

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

You transform into a Soldier for 30 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are a Soldier, and you can use your equipment.

Instead, you remain Incapacitated.

While transformed, your Dexterity is increased by 1 and your Perception is increased by 1. You do not suffer any Stress while transformed.

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.

Whenever you enter Combat, roll Self-Control. If you fail, you cannot choose which targets to attack and cannot stop fighting until there are no targets remaining.

  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.

Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is doubled.

Outside of Combat, any non-Gift, non-movement Actions you attempt take drastically less time to complete, as long as your personal speed is a factor in the Action. Total time reduction is determined by the GM and capped at 90% (executing the Action takes no less than 1/10th the normal time).

  • The time reduction on non-Movement Actions applies only to the parts of actions when your personal speed is a factor,: pouring water or smoking a steak are not affected, but constructing a shelter or picking a lock would be. The GM will determine how much the total time is reduced based on how relevant personal speed is to the task.
  • Any Encumbrance penalty to your movement still applies, but you do not suffer from any sort of exhaustion.
  • Damage from a collision depends on your speed at the time, as well as what you hit. GM's discretion, but generally moving faster than a car on the freeway and hitting a dense, solid object like a wall or a tree should be lethal. Mundane armor will not apply, but any supernatural forms of protection will.
