1
Requires Seasoned
The power to the ability to suspend someone's biological needs.
Used by Liv, Created by RNGrant.
(This Effect is obviously Alien when used.)

Liv hold a hand with a demonic artifact clasped in it near her target. Bits of red seep out of the target, flowing into the artifact. The target's body become divorced from it's usual needs, and can keep functioning without food, sleep or air.

The thing that is happening with this gift is that the part of people metaphysical self is the human desire and need for food, water, air, is ripped away from them. It comes back slowly.

This is a bit based on part of The Hungry Choir, a living ritual in the web serial Pale. In that ritual you could gain the ability not to need to eat, but it is presented as spiritually horrifying, with the part of them that is their need to eat being ripped out.

Exert your Mind and spend an Action. Select a Animate target within arm's reach. You must actively and obviously use An object with a demon in it (Crafted bound servant or demon themed upgrade) to activate this Effect.

For the next week, your target does not require any food, water, sleep, or air. Any roll to resist an Effect dependent on any affected requirement is made at -1 Difficulty.

  • You can target yourself if you qualify as a valid target by the other requirements.
  • Your target must be within line of sight, or within range of another sense if more fitting for the Gift's flavor.

“Space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.”

With centuries to go before mundane technology allows the exploration of the galaxy, this power allows you the time needed to see it happen, and endure the travel times between the vast distances involved. With a little bonus to keep you alive if your life support malfunctions.

You gain the following benefits at all times.

You no longer require any air in order to survive. You no longer age naturally, and supernatural attempts to age you fail. Any roll to resist an Effect dependent on any affected requirement automatically succeeds.

  • In lieu of sleeping, once per day you may spend one hour meditating to recover a Mind Damage.

I left the face open on the cocoon since from a visual standpoint I pictured it as looking better and it also better explains being able to perceive his environment. Please do not blast him in the face with a flamethrower

(Cocoon stuff is probably normally done with transparent forcefield energy stuff, so just explain the face part as that if needed)

Original thought was for fairies to be rebuilding the pizza, but Contract fey would sooner kill and eat an unattended child than help him in any way, so based it on old Roman house spirits since he has Italian heritage and those are probably less evil
