Peace Man "Violence begets violence."

1
The power to set traps that inflict mental trauma on a target when triggered.
Used by Joseph "Joe" von Barish IV, Created by dae_kianna.
(The trap looks like a 1" peace symbol on an existing surface. It can only be spotted as a trap by those with preexisting knowledge of such traps. You must actively and obviously be using a small peace symbol stencil and something that leaves a mark.)

In a rapid motion that seems committed to muscle memory, Joe leaves behind a mark on the surface using a stencil and charcoal.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action to trap a region of any shape that contains your current location and fits entirely within 20 feet. This trap lasts until triggered or disarmed. You must actively and obviously use a small peace symbol stencil and something that leaves a mark to activate this Effect.

The trap looks like a 1" peace symbol on an existing surface. It can only be spotted as a trap by those with preexisting knowledge of such traps. Anyone who is aware of the trap may intuitively avoid, trigger, or destroy it.

Any Sapient target that enters the chosen region will trigger the trap. Affected targets may resist by rolling Mind at Difficulty 8. If they are incapacitated or unconscious, they fail automatically.

When the trap is triggered, your target will take 1 point of Mind damage and gain Pacifism as a Trauma. This Trauma may be removed by Effects or mundane therapy, as normal. Affected targets are aware that you are interacting with them but they do not view it as an attack or view the resulting Trauma as malicious. If their Trauma is treated, they will be able to see the reality of the situation.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Pacifism: You are morally against causing Injury to anyone and anything, no matter the situation.

  • Anyone who witnesses you place the trap learns about this type of trap and can avoid it at will.
  • Multiple traps cannot be placed in the exact same location or be triggered by the same single Action. Nor can one trap triggering cause another to trigger.
  • Trap can only be spotted by someone who has witnessed this particular trap before, has been informed, or possesses relevant supernatural abilities.
  • The area you choose where the trap can be triggered may be just a single location, similar to a tripwire or a pressure plate, or it can be a proximity trigger which hits anyone who comes within the specified range of the trap. This is defined by you when you place the trap and cannot be changed once the trap is placed.
