The power to create an environmental hazard.
Used by Persephone Sherman, Created by praenomen.
(This Effect is obviously Alien when used. During activation, it is obvious the environmental effect is issuing forth from you. )

Flying, biting, stinging insects suddenly swarm into the area, attacking anyone and anything in their path, clouding the air with their bodies.

Future Upgrades:

Range - 60 feet; Zone Effect - Slippery; Zone Effect - Disorienting; Natural Habitat (Seasoned); Zone Effect - Overwhelming (Seasoned); Range - 200 feet (Seasoned); Ephemeral Storm (Seasoned); Zone Effect - Suppress Vision; Zone Effect - Off Balance (Veteran)

Exposure rolls are a Body resistance roll at Difficulty 6. Protective measures can reduce the Difficulty by 1 or 2, and specialized environmental adaptations or self-contained environments (such as a space suit) can exempt Contractors from making these rolls entirely.

Poor Outcomes on this roll incur a stacking Exposure penalty that reduces all dice pools. This penalty stacks with Stress and is not reduced by Effects that reduce Stress.

Botch: Exposure increases by 2
Failure: Exposure increases by 1
Outcome 1-3: Exposure increases by 1 unless you Exert your Mind
Outcome 4+: No additional Exposure
Exposure cannot exceed -3. Whenever Exposure would increase beyond -3, you gain a minor Battle Scar or a Severity 1 Injury as decided by the GM.

Acute Exposure: Contractors must roll Exposure at the end of each Round. Once removed from the environment, Exposure penalty decreases by one level each minute.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Location within 20 feet of you.

You create a hemispherical dome of flying insects originating at the chosen Location, with a radius of 20 feet, and lasting for 5 minutes. The area inside your zone is affected in any number of the following ways:

  • Danger Zone: The zone contains biting, stinging insects. The area is extremely inhospitable. At the end of each Round, everyone in the zone must roll for Acute Exposure.
  • Obscured Vision: The zone is partially blocked from view. Anything within the zone will have difficulty seeing anything or being seen from the outside. Any rolls that rely on sight are made at -3 dice, and rolls that would benefit from sight are rolled at -1 dice.
The zone expands immediately to its full size from the chosen Location, but will be stopped from spreading in a particular direction by any barriers or cover, and can only fit through openings large enough to fit a grown adult. If a new opening appears while the Effect is still active, it will finish spreading in that direction.

  • If you select a location at the edge of your range, you will be just outside the zone once the Effect is activated
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

Basically, ever since Eden’s brush with cancer and his hazard surgery to try to fix said cancer His body has been changing more and more. The surgery initially restrained the effects and made him more resistant to radiation, but once the disease was “Cured” Or at least the harmful symptoms disappeared. He started to notice that his body physiology began to change more and more in the cybernetics he put into himself after the surgery began to evolve, as if they were alive. This development is his body. Airing out overflowing radiation that it produces
