Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend one minute.
You automatically detect all Evildoers within 50 feet of you for the next hour. This includes any who come within range during the duration. You have a sense of how many valid targets are nearby, as well as their distance and direction.
If no Evildoers targets are within 50 feet of you, and then one enters range, you automatically detect it, even if this Effect is not active.
All Evildoers who you can sense are equally able to sense you.
Reaching into their true form, for just a moment, they enter a limb into the shadows and bring forth just a temporary visage of their previous self, torn away from their conciousness to inact chaos on it's own.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see Plums body inverts, unnatural bone starts slowly stabbing out of their limbs as the flesh pops and boils into tooth tentacle-like whips, disappearing into the shadows before arising from the abyss to create an area of eldrich monstrosity.
You pull out the keys to your 2024 Ferrari Roma Spider - but wait, you're in the middle of nowhere, with not a vehicle in sight! Not a problem, you think, as you stab the key into your temple. Your body appears to glitch, stuttering and spiking. Your mouth opens in a wordless, agonizing scream and you begin stretching and distorting, taking on a bright red color, eventually congealing into the shape of a shiny new 2024 Ferarri Roma Spider.

Sarang is lovable, in all senses of the word, living up perfectly to the definition of his name. With a perfectly crafted bat of an eyelash, a flick of hair, a coy little pout--all crowds are at his mercy and all words against him falter.
"On the count of three, you see me" is a lyric from IVE's song "Holy Moly".
You gain the following benefits at all times.

Adrenaline surged through Luciano's body, either a fight or flight reaction from the increasing pace of the footsteps behind him, or out of fear as he recognised the all-too familiar oily lining that began to coat his throat; a premonition of what was to come.
An unnatural pressure forced his head to lift upward and turn his eyes skyward, his mouth pushed open by an internal presence so severely that his upper and lower jaw no longer remained connected by bone, and instead merely by the stringy flesh and muscles that lie there.
All signs of where there had once been teeth and a tongue were now concealed by the dark glistening of a beak that lay much further into the unnaturally sized maw, and launching their way past said beak with freakish speed were a group of 8 tentacles: pushing impossibly through the narrow space as if fighting for freedom of Luciano's body, each about the width of his own leg.
At once, they all finally found their majority exit from his body, snaking around his form and pushing down onto solid ground in a spider-like formation, their length necessitating that Luciano's feet now floated off of the ground.
And then, the horrid octuplet mass began to gallop in unison, kicking up dust as the monstrous flesh at once became only a blur on the horizon
His father was a Gen-Wyld operative with a bunch of Cuttlefish DNA implanted into him that made him all Squiddy, grafted tentacle appendages and gills and what not. Enzo probably shouldn't have been allowed to procreate, who knows.
I'm sure that no further horrific changes will result from the unmonitored mutation and growth of a Trans-Sepiidian Blossom. Unfettered scientific progress my beloved
You gain the following benefits as long as Alt Form Activates.
Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is increased by 25 feet.
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 may carry one other being without affecting your Encumbrance, so long as you maintain contact with them for the duration and they consent or are grappled.
If you were moving quicker than you could without super speed and go a Round without using your Movement, you collapse and must remain immobile and resting for two Rounds.
True to their namesake, the hacker can penetrate the security of any computer system, granting access to its informational stores, or, in a pinch, allowing them to issue commands. The hacked system will display a flickering image of a ghost until it is dismissed.
While hacking, The Technician's fingers move with supernatural speed, blurring like a ghost.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Select a Computer within arm's reach. Does not work on Alien technology. Roll Intellect + Technology, with the Difficulty set by the GM depending on the security of the system you are hacking. Sapient targets can resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, you may issue a single command to the targeted system. This command must have a specific outcome or be a request for specific login credentials. The command you issue must be within the machine's current capabilities. For example, you cannot order a standard security camera to grow legs and walk around.
If your command does not require bypassing the security of the target (for example, typing on a computer that is unlocked), you do not need to Exert your Mind to activate this Effect, and activation only takes a single Action.
Your Hack cannot be reversed through mundane means for a number of hours equal to your Outcome.
Every hack you make leaves behind a flickering image of a ghost in the system as a personal "calling card" that informs anyone who uses the system that the hack occurred.
The Necromancer stands over a corpse and makes a series of grandiose lifting gestures. The corpse rises from the ground as though suspended by invisible strings, barks a pained groan, and lands on its feet, now a full-fledged member of the living dead.
Increase your sacrificial Injury's Severity by 1 and spend an Action. You must use up corpse in order to activate this Effect.
Summon up to 3 Non-Sapient, Animate zombie at your location. They last for two hours or until they are destroyed. They are controlled by the GM but will follow any commands you give. You may have at most 3 minions active at a time.

If you do not have a sacrificial Injury when you activate this Effect, take a new Severity-1 Injury.

All alterations you make must damage the target's knees.
This Gift cannot have more than 3 Drawbacks, and its Gift Cost is capped at 2.
As long as the ninja is carrying a weapon, their self-defense is almost subconscious. Subtle twitches and lighting-fast feints and parries using sword and scabbard can buy the ninja precious seconds to enact an escape plan or make the kill.
You gain the following benefits at all times. You must actively and obviously be using a sword to gain the benefits of this Effect.
You have 4 Armor, which reduces incoming Damage. Armor from multiple sources does not stack. This Armor cannot be circumvented with Called Shots.
Whenever your Armor reduces incoming Damage, you are immediately made aware of the source of the Damage. You may pinpoint their location for 30 seconds.
