Trussardi puts the guitar pick in front of his mouth and begins to sing. The pick seemingly amplifies the energy of the sound causing it to physically damage the target.
“Becoming an award winning musician is a lot of work. You train your skills day in and day out. Sometimes you have to sing so much that you won’t even be able to speak for the next couple of days. Once you reach the top of the music world you realise that I was all worth it, right?”

Your entire body is laced with DeltaGen. It's sort of your whole deal. The effects of raw DeltaGen exposure on the average human body (you're built different, obviously) are both well-documented and horrific. The potential applications of these two facts are obvious.
Unfortunately, the DeltaGen denatures quickly once outside of a body-temperature environment, meaning stored blood probably won't have much effect unless you keep it in arm's reach.

Yado intensely stares at the target while moving aside his jacket. People looking back at him can see, that he seems to be carrying a pistol. His contact from the other side tests him by pitting a copy of Yado’s astral spirit against the target in the duel.
The better Yado performs, the more pleased is the contact from the other side. The information gathered from the contact is depending of how pleased the contact is.
Yado will be able to hear a whispering inside his mind, which is the contact, telling him what he wants to hear.
After a while of being in this line of work, you begin to view people and their problems as unimportant, in the grand scheme of things.
The life Yado lives is connected with understanding dangers, just by looking at them. You have to understand the person you are up against, just from looking at them.

The creature's claws rip through the poor, defenseless doctor's coat, opening deep gashes in their gut. It bares its fangs to lunge for the killing blow, but the doctor looks up at the attacker. Their eyes filed not with utter terror at their imminent demise, only a look of disappointment and pity. Touched, the monster hesitates. . .

Actions they take will be in keeping with their character and the way they tend to deal with strong emotions. They will be unlikely to change their mind about any actions taken or decisions made until after the Effect ends.
The De-Neuralizer is a small silver device that can emanate a bright flash of light. Any being that looks into it with uncovered eyes has their most recent period of the their memory set into a highly over-writable state for a moment. While in this state, their memories may be overwritten at will.

The Toon performs some sort of cartoonish act of violence. This may be handing someone a bomb, hitting someone with a cartoon mallet, burping a burp that is so noxious it melts flesh, or anything else as long as it is cartoonish.
The attack is more of a throwaway gag than a plot element, so any props or properties of the attack are incidental and disappear immediately. Animated mallets evaporate in a puff of smoke, fire does not spread, and electricity cannot power devices.
Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a target within 45 feet. Roll Charisma + Performance Difficulty 6. The target may contest by rolling to Dodge or Defend as a Reaction, Difficulty 6.

Doc puts his hands on you and begins to mutter to himself in french. The effect is instant and horrible. You begin to remember all of the sins of your past, all the ways that you've wronged those who loved you. All of the terrible, evil things you've done on these contracts in order to survive. Doc seems to be in the grips of similar memories, tears running down his chin and dripping onto his hands that are pressed tightly against you. At the point where your mind feels like it's about to break, it's over. Just as quickly as it began. You feel your wounds begin to close.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means.

They may choose to Resist the Effect and not make the roll. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Charisma + Medicine at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
