Gavel

Created and held by Barret Ludex.
A small brown gavel that seems to be ingraved with the symbol of justice.

When the gavel is drawn, the symbol of justice (scales) flashes behind Barret. Then when the Gavel hits the floor, it makes a loud echoing sound that only the lawbreaker can hear. This rings in their ears making them slowly go insane.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Sapient target within 20 feet. This Effect cannot be used unless its against a Lawbreaker. Affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 8 with a -3 dice penalty. If they are incapacitated or unconscious, they fail automatically.

If they fail, your target will take 1 point of Mind damage and gain a new Trauma selected by you (the GM can overrule you at their discretion). This Trauma may be removed by Effects or mundane therapy, as normal. Targets that receive a new Trauma are aware that you are interacting with them but they do not view it as an attack or view the resulting Trauma as malicious. If their Trauma is treated, they will be able to see the reality of the situation.

  • 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.

Public Defender

Created by Loyabard, given to Penélope Varela.
A fancy tie in dark green and grey pattern with small golden script interlaced.

A thin tie in dark green and blue coloring with flecks of golden thread interwoven through the fabric. The gold is actually tiny script that enumerates multiple famous legal cases that are used as precedent in the defense of attacked parties and those wronged by inequity.

When harm comes toward the wearer from an attack that isn't legally sanctioned the tie comes to life and the script projects outward a glowing golden bubble that absorbs the incoming attacks and renders them helpless on the ground.

You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.

You have 4, which reduces incoming damage from all sources of physical attack except attacks legal to make in the situation under US law. Armor from multiple sources does not stack. Called Shots may circumvent your Armor, depending on its coverage.

Your Armor’s rating is increased by 2. If you do something that Damages, restricts, or otherwise directly, negatively affects another being, your Armor’s rating is decreased by 3 for one minute. This penalty does not stack with itself.

  • This Effect’s Armor rating cannot be increased by any other Effects.

Badge

Created and held by Connie Charles.
A plastic badge that has a pin on the back.

When activated, the badge will glow lightly and the shield will not appear unless attacked, which then the shield will appear as if the attack hit a glass window, and either bounce off or shatter the window.

Expend a point of Battery and spend an Action or Reaction to activate. This Effect cannot be used unless you are being attacked. Roll Dexterity + Firearms at Difficulty 6.

If you succeed, you create a barrier around yourself, which absorbs the next Outcome Damage. The Damage reduction from the barrier is applied before Armor, and is treated like Armor by any effects such as Armor Penetration. You may only have 1 active barrier at a time.

You must maintain Concentration while using this Effect. The barrier will fall if you are interrupted, or if it absorbs the full amount of Damage. When a barrier falls, you cannot use this Effect again for a minimum of 2 Rounds.

Possession of this Artifact causes the following Trauma to manifest over the course of a day: roll self-control to give someone this item. If you lose possession of this Artifact, the Trauma heals over the course of the next month.

  • If you use this Effect as a Reaction to dodge, you still need to make a roll to dodge. The Effect will occur regardless of the Outcome of this roll, but if you fail you will be hit by the relevant attack prior to the Effect occurring.

Mobility tools.

Created and held by Clay Evans.
Currently includes a wrist mounted grappling hook and a set of gloves & boots.

Years of dodging trouble and getting out of sketchy situations left their mark - making Evans more cold, calculating, but most of all slippery.
As of his last job however Clay is now able to weave trouble by quite literally jumping away thanks to his his new best friend - a wrist mounted grappling hook that has been expertly tuned to account for Clay's lightweight frame and equipment load, making him as slippery as a snake and fluid as a professional dancer, ideally at least.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action or Reaction to activate. Select a Location which is at most 50 feet away horizontally or 10 feet away vertically.

You jump to the chosen location. If the landing is precarious, the GM may call for a roll to land safely. You will never take fall damage from successfully landing a jump made with this Effect.

If your target location is no more than 50 feet away, you may spend your Free Movement instead of an Action to activate this Effect.

  • If you are Encumbered, the maximum range is cut in half. If Encumbrance has reduced your total movement to 0, you cannot activate this Effect.
  • Rolls to land safely will generally be Athletics, but GMs may call for a different roll at their discretion if it makes sense for the specific circumstances.
  • You must be on a surface of some kind in order to activate this effect; it cannot be activated while in mid-air.
  • You may only use this Effect once per round of combat, regardless of any enhancements you have taken.
  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.

Specialized gloves and boots with metal hooks that allow for climbing and easier movement through dense underbrush.

You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.

You may move easily and without a roll in any of the following situations.

  • Path Finder: You are adept at making your way through crowds, underbrush, and other dense, congested environments. While doing so, you move at full speed.
  • Spider Climber: You are able to climb on and cling to any surface without regard for the ordinary rules of gravity. You climb at your normal movespeed.

Aoi Akuma

Created and held by Tani Michio.
A blue Nissan Silvia with white and orange fiery streaks across it.

Michio's signature car, this Nissan Silvia is a well maintained vehicle with custom designs that Michio has seen to himself. Having recently crashed it to the point of near destruction Michio thought his dear was all but gone, only to find out that it was extracted repaired and even... enhanced by a certain individual. Now the two's connection is even stronger than before, wherever the car is left, given time it will eventually drive itself back to Michio.

This Artifact cannot be broken.

If this Artifact is lost and in no one’s possession, it finds its way back to its creator during the next Downtime.

  • "Cannot be broken" means that damage cannot render the Artifact's Effects unusable, nor can it cease to be used for its primary mundane purpose, if it has one.

With a click of the key the car collapses in on itself to become a tessaract holding the potential of infinite Aoi Akumas inside it. With another click the tesseract expands and locks in on the true version of the car.

This Artifact can be used as a Nissan Silvia. It is roughly the same size as a Nissan Silvia but can be collapsed into a car key with a tessaract ring and concealed. Collapsing or expanding it costs a Quick Action.

This Nissan Silvia has rear doors, rear window controls, Nitro and LED underlighting along with perpetual air fresheners hanging from its rear view mirror. Any roll to pilot this vehicle receives +2 dice.

You also gain the following effects:

  • Afterburner: Your vehicle has a 25% faster top speed and you may Exert your Mind to accelerate to its top speed in a single Round.
  • Amphibious: Your vehicle may move on land as well as under water at its normal speed. If your vehicle includes an enclosed space, it will function as an airtight, pressurized cockpit.
  • Mind of its Own: This vehicle can move and take Actions without you driving it. It has seven dice for all Drive rolls.
  • No Muffler: Any stealth rolls made to hide your vehicle automatically fail, and any rolls made to notice your vehicle automatically succeed.

  • If there is not enough free space to expand the object, it cannot be expanded. You cannot expand this Object as an attack.

A vehicle now detached from physics the Akuma works under any condition, its parts shift in and out of reality to swap as needed to serve as the ultimate all terrain vehicle.

You gain the following benefits as long as you are wearing this Artifact.

You may move easily and without a roll in any of the following situations.

  • Land Swimmer: You are able to swim through sand, mud, snow, and other semi-solid materials as long as they are made of loose pieces or are not particularly dense. While doing so, you move at your normal movement speed.
  • Surface Skimmer: You are able to move across the top of any bodies of water, ice, or other surfaces where others might sink with no penalty to your movement speed.

  • This Effect not provide any inherent protection from dangerous surfaces such as acid, lava, etc, so be careful!
