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.

Abyssal Fluidity
Embrace the depths, dance with the darkness
Marina's intimate connection with the ocean manifests as an uncanny ability to move with the grace and fluidity of water itself. Her movements become as smooth and adaptable as the sea, allowing her to navigate any environment with extraordinary ease and precision. Drawing from the treacherous, blackened and brackish waters that call to her, her newfound constitution thrives in darkness and unrest, fostering a heightened alertness, preternatural grace, and razor-sharp precision. This power, while granting her unparalleled agility, exacts a toll - Marina finds herself ever at odds with tranquility, her mind as restless as the churning depths that fuel her abilities.

Godfather’s Grace
"Silent as a whisper, sharp as a vendetta."
As Rocco climbs toward the throne he’s always dreamed of, every move is sharpened by hard-earned lessons and a finger sold as tribute to prove his loyalty.

P.A.M
Percision Acuator Matrix
A gently glowing circle at the center of Freya's back acts as a V.I Core for the V.I required to assist Freya in the new, advanced methods of locomotion and bodily control available to her.
The V.I is based off of an old version of Freya's code, it even has another learning chip installed. Theoretically, if left alone long enough, they would gain sapience the same way Freya did. The only issue is that Freya does not have time to wait years for another of her kind to be born.
Freya calls the V.I Pam, though she hopes one day they'll be able to tell Freya their name on their own.
You gain the following benefits as long as you have your V.I Core.
