1
The power to sense things humans cannot.
Used by Kyrie Mae Lee, Created by Monday.
(This Effect is obviously Alien when used.)

Kyrie rips off the patches of flesh sewn around her head (below the eyes, beneath the ears, above the nose, etc.) to reveal a set of fleshy, viscous slits. These slits work like openings into her nervous system that she may perceive through, with the ones granting sight resembling a pair of monstrous eyes and other ones resembling fleshy gills.


Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend an Action. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you rip your flesh with too much strength (Severity-4).

Your senses are enhanced in the following way. Lasts for three hours.

  • Smell: Your nose is highly sensitive and can differentiate between scents the way a dog can, as well as recognize things you have smelled before.
  • Hearing: You are capable of perceiving physical shapes via sound. You must produce a click to “ping” with your echolocation each Round you wish to use it.

Any senses which have been heightened cannot be overloaded. Battle Scars you receive cannot affect these senses.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation or for its duration will almost certainly be disturbed to see Kyrie ripping her skin apart like a feral animal, monstrous secondary eyes/ear slits.

  • Examples of overloading a sense include: an explosion causing temporary deafness, a bright light causing blindness, a sedative causing numbness, etc.
  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
