Vessel of the Crucible Aspect of Primordial life

4
You possess an augmented or inhuman body.
Used by Devonia, Created by NPboom.
(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you appear outwardly monstrous or socially unacceptable. )

The Crucible's code is intertwined in Devonia's DNA, boosting every aspect of their body, from heightened senses to a stronger and vastly more flexible body, though this does push the limits of their skin quite a bit, leading to their skin constantly stretching over their body, though it does seem to hold well enough against the heavily enlarged internals of Devonia. Horns bud just underneath the skin, ready to grow out like thorns on a bush.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

You are permanently and visibly transformed: gaunt Skin stretched over massive amounts of muscle, bone, and nerves. You are considered to be a Sapient, Living being when targeted. Your Brawn is increased by 1, your Dexterity is increased by 1, your Perception is increased by 1, and your Charisma is increased by 1.

You can squeeze through any cracks and passageways a cat would be able to.

You cannot be mistaken for a normal human. You cannot always use standard human clothes, equipment, vehicles, and facilities, and when you can, you suffer an increased Difficulty.

  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.

Between six and seven feet tall, its body a blend of raw reptilian power and primal intelligence. Thick, scaled limbs support a forward-leaning frame. Its skin is mottled grey, olive, and dark rust, colours that blend seamlessly into rocky or jungle terrain, with large, rugged scales that form natural plating along the shoulders, spine, and tail. The head is long and angular, with a wide jawline packed with serrated teeth and a flickering black tongue that tastes the air. Its eyes, golden and slit-pupiled, radiate a slow, calculating awareness. Long, clawed fingers suggest both tool use and combat capability, while a thick, muscular tail balances its gait.

Internally, its biology is built for endurance and sudden bursts of violence. A dual-lung system allows for high-efficiency oxygen exchange, enabling it to remain still for hours before erupting into explosive movement. Its heart, larger and more muscular than a human’s, beats slowly but forcefully, circulating a dense, copper-rich blood that resists infection and carries oxygen through its heavy musculature. Beneath its jaw and along the lower jawline lie venom glands that secrete a coagulant, inhibiting toxin, not injected, but smeared into wounds as its teeth rip and tear, causing slow, unstoppable bleeding. Its stomach is a high-acidity organ, capable of dissolving bone and carrion alike, while a second, smaller “crop” pouch stores food for slow digestion during lean periods.
