The user of this elixir drinks it slowly. As the do, impurities leak out of their skin, falling to the ground, and leaving a mess.

This potion is the first of Sal's alchemical concoctions using the venom of infinity as a base.
Sal is taught how to make this, using the venom of infinity as a base, adding other parts of himself to strengthen the concoction. A bit of hair, a few drops of blood, mixed with the venom of infinity.
Sylvester taught Sal how to make this, first clipping bits of his hair, and drawing a few drops of blood for the first batch, then showing him how to repeat the process.

The most painful times in Hezalea's life has left her indifferent to the pain. If she tries hard enough, she can tune it out as if it's background noise.
On pain:
One might say suffering is part of being human. Does that mean those who have yet to suffer are yet to be fully human? If that were true, if pain and sadness were a prerequisite for recognition, Hezalea would rather shirk it all.
On willfulness:
Muting any of the senses takes more than being told, "Just deal with it." But now... Hezalea can indeed say that to herself and expect herself to stop being so flustered by the incessant agony that hovers around her. It's all just a placebo. She's incredibly annoyed that this very power has validated all the insensitive words thrown her way.
On heroism:
Was numbness always part of being a hero? She doubts it. Often the most questionable heroes are ones who have become desensitized from the horrors that plague their lives. She wishes she could feel visceral disgust at all the atrocities in the world again, she wishes she could say that was the drive for her ambitions, but really, why does she continue moving forward?

Haley's form immediately morphs into the body of Fergus, a towering saurian biped. Fergus is an absolute unit with his own anatomical arsenal. Most people will be disturbed or grossed out at Fergus' might.

You transform into Fergus for 3 minutes. You have access to all of your Powers while you are Fergus, and you can use your equipment.

Your body is adapted to Athletics. You receive +3 dice on non-attack rolls related to Athletics.
Your alternate form is its own deadly weapon. Unarmed attacks made in your alternate form deal +3 Weapon Damage (instead of the typical -1).

Harriet shuts her eyes as her shadow begins to change shape. Becoming vague and undefined as three figures climb out of it.
Harriet's oldest companions are beings of Edge and (now) Heart. They fall under the domain of The Lionsmith, thanks to their time spent spent with Harriet and her dedication to over throwing the status quo. They eventually gained a small amount of Heart, born from the emotional connection Harriet has fostered with them.
Their forms are reflective of what Harriet pictured as the perfect protectors, to keep her safe from all harm. They do not always succeed, but they always try.
They each appear as Arthurian knights, their shadows inky and ever shifting. Though to the untrained eye, they simply look like comic book characters brought to life.
Harriet knows this well.
