The Stable Self "I've decided I don't need to breathe right now. Please accept that."
Minerva's body begins to become a reflection of her mind, more than the other way around. As an act of will, she's able to decide she doesn't need to eat, or breathe, or such. And should it come down to it, she can decide that she's not effected by the world around it, too. For not even heat, nor cold, can say no to her.
She still needs to sleep because sleeping is part of refreshing one's mind more than one's body - or at least that's what she believes, so far.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
You no longer require any food, water, or air in order to survive.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

Undead Body
The physical may no longer be the same, but the mind still needs its rest.
Due to whatever circumstances are relevant, the gifted user does not need to actively do anything. It's simply an enhanced metabolism and a regular need for sleep. Visually, the gifted may have corpse-like attributes (paler skin, cold to the touch) or simply look "smudged," whatever that means to the viewer.

Type O Diet
"Everyone knows the phenomenon of trying to hold your breath underwater -- how at first it's alright and you can handle it, and then as it gets closer and closer to the time when you must breathe, how urgent the need becomes, the lust and the hunger to breathe. And then the panic sets in when you begin to think that you won't be able to breathe -- and finally, when you take in air and the anxiety subsides... that's what it's like to be a vampire and need blood." - Francis Ford Coppola
Benny's hunger for blood has become all consuming, and he will die if he is not able to satiate the beast inside; however, he no longer requires any food, water, air, or sleep.

Tireless Servant of God
"The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself." - Proverbs 11:25
Ellis' faith in the Lord has blessed him with the sustenance necessary to constantly continue his ministry. He can last for months without food, and has gone close to a month without water on occasion. No one has seen him sleep in years, and his features don't seem to suffer the effects of aging. However, he does frequently appear to be bathed in a halo of warm golden light.
You gain the following benefits at all times.
You may go five times longer than a normal human without food, water, and sleep. You no longer age naturally, and supernatural attempts to age you fail.

I'm going to make it into heaven.
