Despite Lincoln's nature of being a bird, once and a while he overhears what is said, and makes off-handed comments on it, not realizing he is talking, nor is he aware that he is understanding people.

A masterpiece is a labor of love an artist must put their life into. As Bryan folds and unfolds his body alongside the focused paper, blood begins to seep through each sheet, turning them a dark red and creating a pool of ichor beneath him as it drips. Once he has bonded his vision into the paper, typically shaping it into the form of the object he's animating, he presses it into the target and allows it to unfold. What remains on the object is a patterned sheet of paper, with each crease being a fold that represents its construction.
This paper moves around the object when it takes action, unfolding and refolding to match its movements-- creating circles around a vehicle's wheels, shooting out through a gun's barrel, etc.
Increase your sacrificial Injury's Severity by 1 and an Action. Select a Inanimate target within arm's reach which could fit inside an SUV (4,000 liters). This Effect cannot be used unless you are in your Amorphous Transformation. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you take a Severity-4 Injury as blood gushes from your sacrifice. You must use up folding paper in order to activate this Effect. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. If you fail or Botch, you receive one Mind Damage and a new Trauma.
Your target will become Animated indefinitely. You may choose to end the effect at will, as a Free Action. You can maintain a max of 20 animated objects at once.
Animated Objects have the following restrictions and capabilities:
Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see extreme amounts of blood pour and coagulate from Bryan's body before seeping into the object.

This shining white shot is created with the thoughts, attitudes and judgment of the masses, bundled into a bullet capable of getting the message "We will not be ruled by someone unelected and unqualified" across, with power capable of piercing the psyche and smashing the body.
Absorbing a signature of the target, the very thing that allowed them to inflict their will upon the populace by signing decrees, this bullet and user become spectral for a moment and reappear in front of the target, for a single moment, to fire their shot.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Human target within arm's reach. You may select a target at any range if you use up a signature of the target. This Effect cannot be used unless the target is royalty. You must actively and obviously use a Firearm to activate this Effect. Roll Dexterity + Firearms Difficulty 6. Affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 7. If they are incapacitated or unconscious, they fail automatically.
If the Contested Outcome is positive, your target will take 2 points of Mind Damage and gains two new Traumas of your choice. The Trauma should be general and not specifically mention you. You should not have to be involved to trigger the Trauma.
these Traumas may be removed by Effects or mundane therapy, as normal. Targets that receive a new Trauma are aware that you are interacting with them but they do not view it as an attack or view the resulting Trauma as malicious. If their Trauma is treated, they will be able to see the reality of the situation.
If the Contested Outcome of your activation roll is 4 or higher, the activation cost of this Effect is refunded.

You gain the following benefits at all times.
You gain an additional limb that functions as a standard human arm and hand.
Each additional limb you posses can take one Quick Action per Round without incurring a -2 dice penalty to your main Action. Each additional appendage you have gives you +1 dice to make and resist Grapples (up to a maximum bonus of +4 dice).
Any Battle Scars that affect or remove your additional limb will heal in a single week.
You may dedicate your extra Quick Action to contest any attempt to escape your Grapples. If you do so, you roll your full dice pool to contest and retain your Action to do anything that does not target the subject of your Grapple.
Your Extra Appendage is incapable of fine object manipulation.
The hacker can overload any electronic device by fiddling with their smart watch for a moment. The targeted device shudders and gets white-hot before bursting into deadly shrapnel.
