(Anyone who witnesses you activate this Effect is very likely to be disturbed to see your flesh and skin split apart before mixing and slapping back together as a different person. )

The Assimilator opens their mouth in a silent scream, their body undulating and shuddering, morphing to match the desired form.

Exert your Mind and spend 2 Actions. This Effect cannot be used unless you are possessing a host.

You become disguised in a manner of your choosing. The disguise lasts until you either activate a new disguise, or choose to end the effect.

The new appearance may have a different sex, age, and race to your own, and you may alter height by up to a foot and your weight by 50%. Your disguise may directly mimic the appearance of a specific individual. You may change the appearance of your outfit. Your disguise can alter your smell, DNA, and other aspects that are not perceivable via human senses. This does not conceal you against investigative Effects. A disguise cannot affect your Attributes or other stats.

You may roll Charisma + Crafts to attempt to make your disguise Beautiful. If your Outcome is 6 or higher, non-Effect Charisma rolls where your good looks could help are rolled at -2 Difficulty. If you fail or botch, you are ugly instead, and non-Effect Charisma rolls are made at +2 Difficulty.

Anyone who witnesses you during this Effect's activation will almost certainly be disturbed to see your flesh and skin split apart before mixing and slapping back together as a different person.

Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Bane: Fire - You are weak to a specific material or type of attack. (All Damage you take from [Fire] is increased by 1 and ignores any non-material Armor you may have.).

After this Effect ends, you cannot move quicker than a walk (15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour.

This Effect ends if you take an Injury or are stunned or incapacitated.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Pyrophobia - You have an intense and violent reaction to fire. (Whenever you would be subjected to fire or extreme heat, you must roll Self Control or go into fight or flight, likely resulting in a transformation.).

  • A performance check is generally required to pass with people who know the individual you're mimicking.
  • While you may alter your outfit's appearance, this does not grant or store equipment.
  • When narrating disturbing content, be cognizant of your group's tone and accommodating to those who would like to "fast forward" through the description.
  • ‘Appearance’ includes voice, bone structure, skin quality, hair length and color, eye color, muscle tone, flesh texture, and generally anything perceivable about your body.
