You were created from various cadaver parts, stitched and grafted together. Though instead of a head you posses a glass container filled with green liquid that houses your mind.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
You are permanently and visibly transformed: Brain in a jar, body made of various stitched together parts. You are considered to be a Sapient, Non-Living being when targeted..
No single organ in your body is critical for life. Called Shots do no additional Damage to you. You may perceive the world through separated body parts, take Actions with them, and reattach them by spending an Action and Exerting your Mind.
Your Injuries no longer degrade with time. You do not age naturally, and supernatural attempts to age you fail.
You cannot be mistaken for a normal human. You cannot always use standard human clothes, equipment, vehicles, and facilities, and when you can, you suffer an increased Difficulty.
N/A
You gain the following benefits as long as you are transformed.
Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is doubled.
If your last Action was used for an all-out sprint or you are already accelerated, you may spend an Action to accelerate without a roll, adding 150 feet/Round (not affected by your speed bonus) to your sprint speed, to a max of an extra 300 feet/Round. As long as you stay at these speeds, you may use this distance per Round as your Free Movement.
Any terrain you traverse while accelerated must be passable by a standard vehicle at similar speeds. Stopping, turning sharply, or decelerating more than 150 feet/Round must be performed as an Action. Failing to decelerate with an Action (whether because of an obstacle, sudden unfavorable terrain, an Injury, or other event) deals 3 Damage which Armor does not reduce.
While using this Effect, you are immune to collision damage, and any roll made to target you is made at +2 Difficulty.
It appears almost effortless, as Ego bends the fundamental laws of the universe. There's no need for any physical motion or verbal components-- in fact, he doesn't even need look where he's casting to manipulate reality all the same. The space around him simply warps to his will, as if affected by an uncanny gravitational pull, or a glitch in the physics engine of the world.
Upon closer examination, it's clear that the raw source of this power comes from somewhere within Emile. The intense concentration needed to just conjure any of this ability would be enough to break any normal individual, crushing them under the weight of what they attempt to lift. But for Ego? There's no toll too high, no barrier too much for him to overcome.
"If I could just bend my environment to my whims, through the power of my mind alone..." Perhaps if Emile believed this was remotely possible for himself, then none of this would have ever happened.
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The same degree of force necessary for Distortion to take effect is applied to Emile's character in full, heightening his personality quirks to their natural extreme and afflicting his body with e̶l̴d̷r̸i̴t̸c̵h̶ consequences. To achieve this power fantasy in the way Emile deludes of, he must be shaped into something almost unrecognizable.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
As long as you maintain Concentration, you can take Actions and interact with things that are within 75 feet without needing to physically touch them or be near them. Any rolls made for Actions taken in this way use a Mental Strength of 4 in place of your Brawn rating, a Mental Agility of 4 in place of your Dexterity, and otherwise use your own Attributes and Abilities.
Telekinetic actions have the following restrictions and behaviors:
Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Incipient Corruption: The fingers of your left hand appear withered, as if undergoing the first stages of necrosis. A small price to pay for power, isn't it? You are at a -1 die penalty for any roll utilizing the affected hand, Mental Overload: Your brain is flooded with a sea of e̶l̴d̷r̸i̴t̸c̵h̶ knowledge, leaving it susceptible to being rattled by a well aimed attack. Called Shots to your head do +2 Damage [Requires Outcome 6]. Whenever you Exert your Mind, your eyes briefly flash a shimmering silver as if your Samson activated., and Smug Bastard: Your face has a chronic, detrimentally smug expression that makes any social interaction much more difficult. All social rolls are made 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: L'appel Du Vide: Its call beckons at every moment, and you must bring yourself closer to that edge to fill its v̷o̸i̵d̸. When faced with the opportunity to perform an action in a more dangerous or exciting way, you must roll Self-Control to resist the impulse., Savior Complex: Your inner desire to aid people and improve the world has been warped with your sense of worth as a person, and your need to seek approval from others. Whenever you have the opportunity to help someone in need, you must succeed a Self-Control roll to resist the impulse, and Vindicative Vindication: You tire of dealing with the senseless opinions of the masses, and refuse to take any shit from them lying down. Each time someone wrongs you or disrespects you in a major way, you must succeed a Self-Control roll to resist taking revenge.
