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.

Chimeric Adaptation
The pinnacle of applied evolution; a body designed to transcend
With the judicious application of many mutagens, Oleg has transformed his physiology to operate beyond human limits. This adaptive power grants him increased speed, strength, and heightened perception, along with a remarkable flexibility in form. His body can now generate specialized implements or adapt structurally to suit varied environments. Subtle but visible changes become apparent, becoming more apparent the more he exerts himself physically: his muscles and bones seem to realign with purpose and his pupils dilate or constrict with unnatural precision. In darker settings, a faintly luminous glow can be seen shining from the inside at all times, growing brighter and brighter as the exertion rises - during moments of high tension and oxygen consumption, his insides glow intensely, giving him the look of a glowing anatomical model of himself. The transformation, while useful, comes with a marked photosensitivity resulting from the mutagens used in the making of the new body.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
