Shinsei Seeing red and black

1
Requires Seasoned
The power to temporarily transform into A nine tailed fox with large yellow eyes with hexagonal irises on each of the tails.
Used by Leon Vanderblight, Created by leonvanderblight.
(While you are A nine tailed fox with large yellow eyes with hexagonal irises on each of the tails, you are obviously transformed and unusual. )

When his mortal body becomes damaged enough, Leon sheds his corporeal form and returns to his spiritual body. His mortal form discorporating into a cloud of white ethereal wisps before coming together to form a translucent whirlpool of energy from which he emerges as a man sized nine tailed fox, eyes ablaze with green flame, and each of his nine tails proudly on display. Though the process results in him briefly experiencing a total void of sensation as the body is shed and it leaves him disoriented and feral for the short time it takes him to reconstitute a new form it's utility is inarguable. Though such a transformation would without question expose him to the world, Leon is not the type to be so kind as to leave loose ends once his true Kitsune body has been exposed.

This Effect activates whenever Leon takes a severity 4. It does not require an Action or Exertion. You must make a Trauma roll when you use this Effect. Its Difficulty cannot be reduced by any means.

You transform into A nine tailed fox with large yellow eyes with hexagonal irises on each of the tails for 3 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are A nine tailed fox with large yellow eyes with hexagonal irises on each of the tails, and you can use your equipment. The Injuries and Battle Scars of your Alternate Form and your true form are tracked separately.

While transformed, your Attributes are the same. You do not suffer any Stress while transformed.

If you are restricted, restrained, dazed, sleepy, or stunned, you may activate this Effect to break free or end the negative effect. You cannot free yourself by transforming more than once a minute.

Your alternate form renders you unable to speak any human language and incapable of fine object manipulation. You can only hold or grasp objects in a crude, clumsy way.

Whenever you enter Combat, roll Self-Control. If you fail, you cannot choose which targets to attack and cannot stop fighting until there are no targets remaining.

  • When triggered, the Effect activation resolves immediately after the triggering Action. It is not Reaction speed.
  • Attribute bonuses from multiple sources do not stack. Instead the highest bonus is used.

Exert your Mind (unless you win a coin flip) and spend 15 minutes. Choose a specific Injury on yourself that has not yet been treated with this Effect and roll Brawn + Alertness at Difficulty 8.

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.

If your Outcome is greater than the Severity of the Injury you were attempting to treat, you may apply any excess Outcome to other Injuries on yourself.

You may treat Severity 1 Injuries without making a roll or paying the Exertion cost, so long as they were not self-inflicted as an activation cost for an Effect.

  • Unstabilized wounds do not degenerate during treatment.

Marcielle's fourth attempt at cultivating the perfect crop. Though potentially excellent for creating wine, the plant itself is aggressive and mildly carnivorous, its roots producing a substance that slowly breaks down proteins. As a result, it is not viable for average agricultural purposes.

Any Battle Scars that affect or remove your additional limb will heal in a single week.

Your appendage is capable of bending and squishing in normally-impossible ways. It may fit through any gap that is not water-tight and retain its functionality.

Your extra appendage can stretch to reach an additional 30 feet.

Your extra appendage is not connected to your nervous or circulatory systems, and you will not take damage if it is hit by an attack or destroyed.

If you do not have a sacrificial Injury when you activate this Effect, take a new Severity-1 Injury.

  • You may stretch, retract, or move your limbs 30 feet once per Round.
  • The sacrificial Injury received from activating this Effect cannot be prevented by any means or healed before 1 day has passed. It is shared with all Effects that use sacrifice. This Injury does not requires Stabilization or cause Battle Scars when it becomes Severe.
