Stand up again Jason! “I must do what mother said.”

Not having grit kicked my ass last time, I ain’t repeating that mistake.

Gen-Wyld: Beyond Natural
On March 14, 2018, a little-known company named Gen-Wyld announced FDA approval for a groundbreaking procedure to enhance a patient’s primary and secondary sexual characteristics using gene therapy. The company was an overnight success.
Shortly thereafter, they introduced a suite of gene-altering body modification procedures that allowed patients to make dramatic aesthetic changes to their bodies by gene-splicing “non-human” anatomy. Those daring (and wealthy) enough can now add cuttlefish pigmentation to their skin, sport a pair of fox ears, and even add a functional tail. While rare, these so-called “modders” draw plenty of hate from conservative communities.
Thanks to their revolutionary procedures, Gen-Wyld is now a household name. Norman Carlson, Gen-Wyld’s chief evangelist, recently announced the company is in the trial phase for a groundbreaking treatment for diabetes.
Yet despite their success, a shroud of secrecy surrounds Gen-Wyld. Their no-patent policy obscures the secrets of their procedures from the public eye. Financial experts claim that Gen-Wyld is run less like a traditional business and more like an NGO with some specific, unknown objective.
Some claim that they will not stop until humanity has been reduced to monstrous slaves and that Gen-Wyld’s board of directors will install themselves as inhuman overlords of the new world order.
However, until the true secrets behind Gen-Wyld are discovered, the genetic biotech firm will continue to grow, develop, and progress its grand designs.

Berserker State
Rip and Tear
Amaranth is perhaps the progenitor of the vaunted berserker state, in moments of intense stress he is able to work himself into such a frenzy that pain and fear become motivators rather than detractors and in a screaming ball of frothing fury he can throw himself towards his opponents as a ball of teeth, fury, and displeasure.

Ether Patch
This discreet patch attaches to your side, just above the kidney, with eight shallow needles. It carefully monitors and manages your levels of cortisol (among other hormones and enzymes), keeping your body and mind relaxed in times of crisis.
While the patch is in use, your movements are visibly sluggish and floaty, and your wounds ooze a clear, syrupy liquid. A blinking light on the patch indicates the amount of stress it's working to mitigate; green for a penalty of 1 or 2, orange for 3 or 4, and red for 5+.
You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.

Vermeil Offering
Exsanguinate exchange.
While actively being collected in preparation for the usage of this gift, the blood in physical contact with the user darkens as it coalesces into black, ever-shifting glyphs which get drawn to and absorbed by the user's skin, be it their hands or mouth. All blood within the same pool gets drawn to the point of contact as the gift is being used, with the draw being stronger the closer it is to the user.
When the gift is used, a dark blur with ever-shifting glyphs visible within quickly spreads across the user's body before dissipating. It lingers around injured areas for a moment longer, exhibiting a crimson sheen.
The wound of the source from where the blood being used had originated from darkens, with the edges getting surrounded by equally-black, unknown, intertwined glyphs. While the imprint normally fades away completely within hours, it may instead remain for longer, up to a week, in proportion to how fiercely the source opposed the gift's usage on them. (lack of sapience or awareness at the time of gift usage results in the normal hour-or-so fadeaway time)
The parts of the gift user's flesh which interacted with the source's blood in order to activate the gift are graced with a black imprint which fades away over time, aforementioned glyphs at the edges included. The fadeaway is linked to the fadeaway of the imprint on the source.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. You must use up at least a handful of fresh, foreign blood absorbed either through the hands or mouth in order to activate this Effect.
Your Stress from Injuries and Mind Damage is reduced to 0. Lasts three hours.
You may move at your normal speed and still maintain Concentration. Taking an Injury less than Severity 6 no longer interrupts Concentration.
