CryptoLeak: Silence is Broken
CryptoLeak is a video streaming platform with a singular goal: to allow users to upload and share video content, no matter what. Videos uploaded to cryptoleak cannot be removed, doctored, or censored.
Despite a near-universal condemnation by world leaders, most people greatly appreciate CryptoLeak. It's the go-to platform for posting illuminations, whistleblowing evidence, and data leaks.
CryptoLeak is a mundane technlogical entity that cannot be controlled or destroyed. It has no backing business or organization. It utilizes a distributed architecture that allows it to host content across the entire world, sharding and mirroring its petabytes of data accross millions of personal devices. Content uploaded to CryptoLeak is immutable and cannot be doctored or redacted by any known means.
For once, technology has put the power in the hands of the little guys.
World governments and other powerful organizations can still censor or restrict access to CryptoLeak within their domains, and they sometimes utilize the platform for misinformation and psy-ops campaigns. However, for most people, CryptoLeak represents the freedom to speak and be heard.
Of course, simply uploading a video does not gaurentee it will be seen or gain traction, nor does it protect you from any consequences that may come along with pulling back the veil. . .

Unarmed Mastery Gifts
Divine Strikes
"My paws are hammers."
Each of Emily's strikes has an amazing amount of force though it... even more than they should. She can strike things that should damage her paws, but only what she's hit is damaged.
"At first I think they are still warm. After a while, I realize they'll always be warm."
You gain the following benefits as long as you are engaged in unarmed combat. You must actively and obviously be using paw gloves to gain the benefits of this Effect.
+2 dice to rolls for Attacking, Defending, and Clashing without a weapon. Unarmed attacks do +4 Weapon Damage (instead of -1).
You may Defend against melee, projectile, or firearm Attacks from any range and Clash with those in range of your Attacks. Attacking materials like steel or spikes will not Damage you unless it has an Effect that does so.
- Unlike the Ability Brawl, this Effect does not affect small weapons such as knives.
Green Thumb
The gloves grant a number of benefits, one of which being the ability to animate plants. Though none as successfully as Phil.
An Action. Select a plant within arm's reach which could fit inside a briefcase (15 liters). This Effect cannot be used unless the animated plant is created without evil or malicious intent. Roll a single D10 as a critical failure check. If you roll a 1, the Effect fails, and you the plant grows rapidly, entangling you and becoming very tough. Also deals a Severity-1 Injury.
Your target will become Animated indefinitely. You may choose to end the effect at will, as a Free Action. You can maintain a max of 4 targets animated at once.
Animated Objects have the following restrictions and capabilities:
- Awareness: Animated targets are capable of perceiving the world around them within reasonable limits. Animated objects can communicate information back to you by speaking to you in a strange language.
- Movement: Animated targets can use an existing method of locomotion (wheels, etc); otherwise they can move across the ground at 15 feet per round, or hover up to a height of 7 feet in the air at 10 feet per round.
- Combat: Animated objects cannot take offensive actions in combat.
- Artifacts: Animating an Artifact does not grant the animated object access to any Effects built in to that Artifact.
- Ability Use: If an action requires a roll, Animated objects have a dice pool of 7 when performing a task for which they were designed, and a dice pool of 4 for taking any other actions.
- Toughness: Animated targets are as easy to destroy as they were prior to being animated. If destroyed, the effect ends.
- Following Orders: Animated objects are controlled by the GM, and will follow any commands you give them, as long as they don't require problem-solving.
This Gift's Cost is capped at 2 and cannot be increased further.
- Animated objects must communicate verbally, and they must be near enough for you to hear them in order to communicate.
- A task for which an object was designed might include a broom sweeping, a gun shooting things, a car driving, a towel rubbing up on stuff, etc.
- Animated objects may be more or less susceptible to certain attacks at GMs discretion. A scarecrow golem would be easily destroyed by a sword (or fire). An animated suit of armor may not fear bullets but could be smashed to bits with a hammer. A full bronze statue is largely indestructible but might have difficulty standing up if toppled.
- 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.

Right to Bear Arms
"The right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." - US Constitution
JPM has the right to Bear Arms: meaning that his grip is iron and inescapable: much like student loans, and... his body has become as hard as the steel which serves in America's fine railroad tracks... meaning that should he ever grab you: he'll squeeze all the life out of ya' like a true capitalist.
