The Poet "I'm a dude, disguised as a dude, playing another dude."
Hector puts on a mask and starts to do vocal warm ups, sitting down and patting their face as if they are putting on makeup and styling their face.

You become disguised in a manner of your choosing. The disguise lasts for two hours, or you may end it early at will.

You may roll Charisma + Crafts to attempt to make your disguise Beautiful. If your Outcome is 6 or higher, non-Effect Charisma rolls where your good looks could help are rolled at -2 Difficulty. If you fail or botch, you are ugly instead, and non-Effect Charisma rolls are made at +2 Difficulty.
Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: I know who I am: Whenever Hector changes into a disguise, their personality/name/voice changes with them, and they have to stick with it for the duration of the effect. When the disguise power ends, Hector must roll a Self-Control Roll in order not to maintain the same personality/name/voice until they next fall asleep.

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.

Upstanding American Citizen
These capitalist swine are so obsessed with material possessions that they identify other people by the things that they have and wear - but the person themselves may as well be a store mannequin. Faces are interchangeable, status is all that matters.
You have broken past the illusion of American materialism and are able, through a brief but intense focusing of your will while flipping through your passport, to entirely change your appearance, and even to replicate the appearance of others, with a degree of specificity which allows you to easily pass for local.
Exert your Mind and spend 2 Actions.
You become disguised in a manner of your choosing. The disguise lasts until you either activate a new disguise, or choose to end the effect.
The new appearance may have a different sex, age, and race to your own, and you may alter height by up to a foot and your weight by 50%. Your disguise may directly mimic the appearance of a specific individual. You may change the appearance of your outfit. A disguise cannot affect your Attributes or other stats.
You may roll Charisma + Crafts to attempt to make your disguise Beautiful. If your Outcome is 6 or higher, non-Effect Charisma rolls where your good looks could help are rolled at -2 Difficulty. If you fail or botch, you are ugly instead, and non-Effect Charisma rolls are made at +2 Difficulty.
You can "pass" in any culture or group without arousing suspicion as long as you look normal for that group and can communicate with those inside the group.
- A performance check is generally required to pass with people who know the individual you're mimicking.

Zhaal-Tek Morphologics Protocol
Change the flesh. Chain the will.
I was their project data, flesh, potential. When the ship went down, I didn’t wait. I tore free, ran with what I could carry: half-dead components, scraps of interface mesh, a living coil still sparking with memory.
In the woods, I built it. No tools, no lab just stolen tech and shaking hands. Now, when I need to disappear, I press the Veil to my skin. It fuses quick. Burns a little. Then shifts me face, body, voice into whoever I need to be. It’s not pretty. It’s not stable. But it works. And that’s enough.
