Adrenal Grafting Technically not illegal, technically not legal either
One of the very few benefits afforded to higher-ranking members of Chronocorp PMCs, the adrenal grafting process allows the subject to greatly exceed their body's limits with minimal long-term drawbacks. These grafted glands appear as a biomechanical implant directly over the spinal column.
You gain the following benefits as long as you have your grafted adrenal glands.
Your Brawn rating is increased by 3. You may Exert your Mind to automatically gain an Outcome of 5 on any roll that uses Brawn (cannot be used on combat rolls or Effect activations).
If you are witnessed actively using this Effect, whoever sees it can make a Perception + Alertness roll at Difficulty 6. A complete success reveals the source of your power.
You also gain the following effects:
- Absorb: As you are receiving an Injury, you may Exert your Mind to reduce its incoming Severity by your rating in Extra Brawn.
- Beast of Burden: You may now carry up to your lifting and hauling capacity without suffering an encumbrance penalty or needing to Concentrate. You do not tire from extended physical activity.
- Tough: You gain Armor equal to half your Brawn rating. This Armor cannot be penetrated or shredded and protects against falling Damage.
- Armor from multiple sources does not stack. Instead, the highest is used.
- If your grafted adrenal glands is damaged, destroyed, or lost, you lose all benefits from this Effect for the next two months.
- Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Cosmic Colossus
"When the cosmos calls, I answer with power."
Cosmic Colossus is an ability that grants the wielder immense strength, enhanced by the energy of distant stars and cosmic forces. While not godlike, the user gains the ability to lift massive objects, endure extreme physical stress, and perform feats that would break normal limits. Their muscles glow with subtle cosmic energy, and their physical power is amplified to a level that pushes the boundaries of human and earthly capabilities, making them a formidable force in any situation.
The gift of Cosmic Colossus was passed down through Caine’s Native American ancestors, a power that originated not from earthly forces, but directly from the stars themselves. It began with a celestial encounter long ago, when Caine's first ancestor, Takwah, a great warrior, was chosen by the night sky during a fateful vision quest. On a night when the stars shone brighter than ever, Takwah sought wisdom from the heavens, offering his spirit to the sky in exchange for the strength to protect his people. In response, the stars above shifted and aligned, sending a torrent of starlight cascading down upon him, binding his very being to the cosmic forces.
This celestial power wasn’t an earthly force; it was the raw, untapped strength of the stars themselves—fiery, ancient, and infinite. The stars granted Takwah the ability to harness the essence of the cosmos, amplifying his physical prowess far beyond normal human limits. His muscles became vessels of stellar energy, pulsing with the power of supernovas and quasars. His strength came from the stars' light and gravity, and with it, he could lift massive boulders, move mountains, and withstand blows that would shatter a normal human body.
