You gain the following benefits at all times.

Any Injury you receive from a source other than Intense Heat/Flame heals quickly, reducing its Severity by one level every 6 hours. Any Injuries you receive while this Effect is active do not deteriorate over time. However, any Battle Scars caused by such an Injury will remain unless it is Properly Stabilized as normal.

As long as at least half your body remains intact, you cannot die and remain at Incapacitated, regardless of how many Injuries you take. It is clear to observers that you are still alive.

You may Exert your Mind and spend a Quick Action to reduce the Severity of one of your Injuries by 4. Does not affect Injuries suffered as an activation cost for Effects.

All Injuries you receive are considered Properly Stabilized. You may also choose to heal any Battle Scar on yourself that may not have been caused by an Injury. Doing so takes one day, and the Battle Scar affects you fully until that time.

Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: COLORFUL SKIN: parts of your skin have been replaced by hideous skin grafts. All social rolls are mad at +1 Difficulty. The beautiful asset is suppressed as long as you have this battle scar.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: I DON'T KNOW YOU: Due to your past as a drug dealer, you are naturally untrusting of others. You must roll Self control in order to let another person remain in a position where they could easily hurt you, or allow someone else to perform a task which is necessary to keep yourself safe. If you fail, you may Exert your Mind to overcome your fear. and THE BODIES KEEP PILING: Your sleep is plagued with horrible nightmares from your past as a killer. At the start of each Contract and each time you fall asleep, make a Self-Control roll. If you fail, you take one mind damage.

Injuries you receive from Intense Heat/Flame are increased in Severity by 1.

  • The increase in Injury Severity stacks with any similar effects, such as the Vulnerable drawback on Inhuman Physiology.

Bev is not satisfied with the “Good Doctor’s” enhancements. Her vitals are still ‘vital’, the lack of internal protection combined with skin made from some manner of conductive metal leads to a glaring vulnerability to electricity. The processing elements added to her brain are useful, but they are also potentially exploitable — especially with the doctor’s binding laws lying dormant within.

With time and effort, the insulative nature of the skin has been purged as the plating was replaced through contractive magics.
