Genre Embodiment "New year, new me."

1
You possess an augmented or inhuman body.
Used by Frank Russo, Created by Ozz.
(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you appear outwardly monstrous or socially unacceptable. )

Broken and refined by the genre that's defined him his whole life, the natural final step is to become it. Embracing the style just isn't enough, not for Frank's "benefactor".

His body has become pallid and dull, a stark white with hints of black and gray sprinkled about. His clothes appear to seamlessly weave into his body at times, taking on an odd fleshy texture and a distinct lack of color.

This massive change to his physiology has come with a few added effects (see: Continuance & Witness Protection). Through hardening & softening his body, Frank's capable of slipping into places previously thought improbable.
