In a monochromatic flash, Liam is gone. If filmed in slow motion, a viewer would see a rift open around him, & the ghosts of the dead pull him out of harm's way. Use of this ability often causes small haunting effects in the area that can linger for a time (orbs, cold spots, etc).
Exert your Mind and spend an Action or Reaction. 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.
You phase out of reality for 4 Rounds. During this time, you cannot perceive or affect the outside world but may take mental and self-targeting Actions. You cannot move. Nothing can interact with you in any way.
When you phase out, you may bring up to 1 additional target in arm's reach with you. While phased out together, you may interact as if standing in an empty void that extends infinitely in all directions.
- If you use this Effect to dodge as a Reaction, it succeeds without the need for a roll. Cannot be used as a Desperate Defense.
- You may use your Free Movement on the Round you phase back in, but you cannot take an Action.

Dec. 17, 2023, 3:54 p.m. - Revision Cost: 1. Added Enhancement: Too Slow!, Added Drawback: Traumatic
Gen-Wyld: Beyond Natural
On March 14, 2018, a little-known company named Gen-Wyld announced FDA approval for a groundbreaking procedure to enhance a patient’s primary and secondary sexual characteristics using gene therapy. The company was an overnight success.
Shortly thereafter, they introduced a suite of gene-altering body modification procedures that allowed patients to make dramatic aesthetic changes to their bodies by gene-splicing “non-human” anatomy. Those daring (and wealthy) enough can now add cuttlefish pigmentation to their skin, sport a pair of fox ears, and even add a functional tail. While rare, these so-called “modders” draw plenty of hate from conservative communities.
Thanks to their revolutionary procedures, Gen-Wyld is now a household name. Norman Carlson, Gen-Wyld’s chief evangelist, recently announced the company is in the trial phase for a groundbreaking treatment for diabetes.
Yet despite their success, a shroud of secrecy surrounds Gen-Wyld. Their no-patent policy obscures the secrets of their procedures from the public eye. Financial experts claim that Gen-Wyld is run less like a traditional business and more like an NGO with some specific, unknown objective.
Some claim that they will not stop until humanity has been reduced to monstrous slaves and that Gen-Wyld’s board of directors will install themselves as inhuman overlords of the new world order.
However, until the true secrets behind Gen-Wyld are discovered, the genetic biotech firm will continue to grow, develop, and progress its grand designs.

Unexploding
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger
Ellis has become one with the bomb, allowing himself to re-integrate his body back together when it has been disintegrated in an explosion, and can even save another person in this manner, providing he was able to reach them before the explosion went off. Anyone watching the area for ten seconds or so after the fact would see a sort of abstract impressionist painting of him, dots expanding apart and then reforming into a solid person.

Imagine a place where you can be yourself.

While time does pass normally in the Room, once the door is closed nobody outside can enter or even locate the space. Occupants are free to make use of the space, which appears as an unassuming roadside motel room. Any objects brought outside the Room will be replaced upon the next visit, assuming the door is closed between uses.

Spirit-Walk
He ducks around the corner, and you're right on his tail - you raise your gun and round the corner. He's gone.
The light around Simon is quickly enveloped, distorting and bending around him like a black hole. For a second, he leaves a silhouette - the next, he's gone.
And now, he's back - the same effect happens in reverse.
Simon enters the spirit realm, an act that he finds disturbing. Simon is, also, haunted by Kelpies. This guy is fucking surrounded by Kelpies. Darkstep is, inevitably, a very harrowing power for Simon to use.
The name is a No More Heroes reference. Blueberry Cheesecake Brownie, Strawberry on the Shortcake, ect ect.

Tantus's Obilivion
I commit suicide by plunging a dagger into my neck. As I collapse to the ground my body turns to ash, then to nothing. I and one other ascend to a higher layer of abstraction. After 10 minutes, the layer collapses. In an instant, I wake in the same spot, my being constituting from nothing.
