RONIN MK-I The Ascension to Machine has begun.

1
You possess an augmented or inhuman body.
Used by Ying Taigen, Created by Rift.
(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you seem monstrous or horrifically inhuman unless you take the Monstrous Drawback. )

As he takes off his tops you can see a thin-glowing veil beneath his skin; subtlety you can make out that his veins seem to be... glowing? Its almost as if his veins are actually wires...

Ying's blood has become cybernetically enhanced and infused; it now carries the necessary chemicals and substances to grant Ying increased speed; and increased physical constitution and durability. Unfortunately the compounds and technologies applied to his blood-and-blood systems have also resulted in his veins subtlety glowing; though fortunately his enhanced blood allows his injuries and wounds to automatically clot and stabilize themselves (Just like a computer's antivirus!).

You gain the following benefits at all times.

You are permanently and visibly transformed: The veins within Yings skin seem to glow.. almost like they are containing Electrical Energy. You are considered to be a Sapient, Non-Living Computer when targeted. Your Brawn is increased by 1.

Your Injuries no longer degrade with time.

While in Ocean, heat, cold, pressure, and other atmospheric hazards do not affect you, and dangerous local flora and fauna will not bother you unless you give them a reason.

The arm's circulatory system has been replaced with roots that extend into the blood vessels in the left shoulder and take the needed nutrients from the bloodstream. A side effect of this is the darkening of the blood in the rest of the body as tannins are added into it resulting in a dark reddish brown color. The nervous system has been replaced with a mycelium which fuses with the nervous system in the shoulder and allows the arm to be controlled as normal. The flesh and skin are no more having completely turned to wood and the bone has been replaced with oaken heartwood and covered in patches of green moss and white mushrooms.
