Stinky Pete’s transformed body is uniquely adapted for various practical uses, resembling a living toolkit. His tail, long and prehensile, is remarkably strong and flexible, capable of acting as a makeshift crowbar for prying open doors or lifting heavy objects. The tail’s dexterity also allows it to function like a slim jim for unlocking car doors or a screwdriver for turning screws and bolts.
His fur, while coarse and rugged, hides an unusual ability: individual hairs can be plucked and used as lock picks, perfect for delicate lock-picking tasks. These hairs are surprisingly tough and flexible, making them effective tools for manipulating locks and small mechanisms.
His hands, though larger and less capable of fine manipulation, have the strength and shape to serve as glass cutters or portable angle grinders. By using the edge of his palm or his nails, he can score and break glass or grind down surfaces with surprising efficiency.

Your body provides you with the functionality of Breaking And Entering Tools- Crowbar, Lock Picks, Screwdrivers, Glass Cutters, Slim Jims, Drills, Portable Angle Grinder (Tail and Plucked Hair). If used to attack, these "tools" use the same stats as a small knife.

Drawing in the air with her fingers, Luciole traces along the target's form. Then, she adds her own... creative adjustments to them. She imagines how she'd erase an eye or a limb, how she'd redraw their features to make them just that bit more uncanny. Her hands move accordingly, and she thinks she's making a masterpiece. The world is her canvas, and you are her latest painting.
On painting:
It's therapeutic! It's calming! Art can be so many things at once yet nothing at all. It's what you make of it. It's what I say it is. You are what I say you are. You're such a perfect little piece of art... but my prof would always say, "Kill your darlings. 'Ruin' your art and learn to let go." We're letting go of you. Are you happy now?
On technique:
Luciole can never forget the contours. She can never forget the contours of everyone she's ever loved, and that's... E V E R Y O N E . It's only natural that it's the first thing she traces of you, and it's the first thing she'll try to sabotage. She has an image of you in her mind that she traces and cuts at, chipping you away like her painstaking sculpture. Hey, at least you're not getting an unstabilized injury with this. If you're suddenly missing a limb, it just means you have a stump where your hand was supposed to be. Luciole isn't going to waste time drawing all the gorey details.
On abstract art:
She likes unsettling things - was it not clear before? It's not that she dreams of repainting real humans on the daily, but the thought has crossed her mind before. Now she's free to reinterpret bodies as she pleases - no more nonsense about anatomy and drawing style, this is just real life with a cherry on top.
On the horrible things she could do:
Are you curious enough to peek this far? Well, here's a little secret. Luciole isn't perfect at drawing. No one can be, especially not in three seconds.
Chances are,
- You've been disfigured because she tried to redraw your face and failed miserably. Why is your eye where your mouth is supposed to be?
- You're getting chronic ankle instability because she redrew your legs too thin to support the rest of you.
- You're getting missing fingers because she can't draw fingers.
- You're getting tongueless because she erased it and forgot to put it back.
- You're getting wheezing because she's drawn your neck too thin and there's no space for your airways.
- You're missing a limb because she erased it thinking you wouldn't need it.
- You've got a traumatic brain injury because she sneezed and accidentally drew a dent in your head.
- You've got narcolepsy because she drew Z's everywhere.
- You've been skinned because she erased your outer layer. She's a media artist, she draws with multiple layers.
On range:
Luciole has to be able to see you, including the part of you that she is trying to redraw. If you have your head turned away from her, she can't scribble on your face. Hey, why don't you come closer? :)
On healing:
Art is a very transient thing to Luciole. It'll fade over time, but it's okay. She'll make something even better next time, just you wait.

Doc puts his hands on you and begins to mutter to himself in french. The effect is instant and horrible. You begin to remember all of the sins of your past, all the ways that you've wronged those who loved you. All of the terrible, evil things you've done on these contracts in order to survive. Doc seems to be in the grips of similar memories, tears running down his chin and dripping onto his hands that are pressed tightly against you. At the point where your mind feels like it's about to break, it's over. Just as quickly as it began. You feel your wounds begin to close.
Exert your Mind and spend 1 minute. Select a Living target within arm's reach. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means. If you fail or Botch, you receive one Mind Damage and a new Trauma. Your target must make a Trauma roll to reap the benefits of this Effect. They may choose to Resist the Effect and not make the roll. Choose a specific Injury on your target that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Charisma + Medicine at Difficulty 6.
If you succeed, the Injury is reduced in Severity by your Outcome. If you reduce its Severity to 0, the Injury is fully healed. Otherwise, it is partially healed and will heal the rest of the way at its natural rate.
This counts as a successful Makeshift Stabilization if the Injury was not already Stabilized; any Battle Scars caused by the Injury will remain.
The influencer is 100% tuned-in to any sort of chatter about themselves. Any time someone nearby so much as whispers about them, they know who they were and what they said.

You have 4 Armor, which reduces incoming Damage. Armor from multiple sources does not stack. This Armor cannot be circumvented with Called Shots.
