Moonstone: Speed of a hero. Anime speed

2
You possess incredibly fast movement.
Used by Pal, Created by RNGrant.
(You must actively and obviously be using A moonstone gem.)

Moonstone touches, or holds in her hand one of the gems of her namesake causing it to glow. She moves quickly emanating a soft glow. If one other touches the moonstone she uses as a focus, then move with her speed, surrounded by the same glow.

Moonstone uses her power to travel quickly. Her speed is a strain on her, which she transfers to a gem, usually one of the many built into her suit.

This power comes from moonstone being willing to be a hero, and a hero above all else.

This costs Pal a bit of his humanity, as the person that is Pal becomes less so that Moonstone can be more. His ability to enjoy food and drink. But that price is small next to even one human life.

Hopefully this will be the last thing that becoming moonstone forces him to give up. [It won’t be]

*The idea of the cost is taken from Yuki Yuna is a hero and similar anime where the power of a magical girl comes at the price of their bodily functions slowly being consumed by their patrons in exchange for power.

You gain the following benefits as long as Are in the form of moonstone. You must actively and obviously be using A moonstone gem to gain the benefits of this Effect.

Whenever you use your Movement, after all other calculations, the distance you may travel is tripled.

Outside of Combat, any non-Gift, non-movement Actions you attempt take drastically less time to complete, as long as your personal speed is a factor in the Action. Total time reduction is determined by the GM and capped at 90% (executing the Action takes no less than 1/10th the normal time).

While using this Effect, you may carry one other being without affecting your Encumbrance, so long as you maintain contact with them for the duration and they consent or are grappled.

Possession of this Power grants the following Battle Scar: Lost taste and Smell: can’t smell or taste and automatically fail checks based on smell or taste. -2d when smell or taste would help with the check.

Possession of this Power grants the following Trauma at all times: Hero: whenever someone you believe is innocent is threatened, you must roll self-control not to put yourself between them and the threat (take damage bodyguard if can).

  • The time reduction on non-Movement Actions applies only to the parts of actions when your personal speed is a factor,: pouring water or smoking a steak are not affected, but constructing a shelter or picking a lock would be. The GM will determine how much the total time is reduced based on how relevant personal speed is to the task.
  • Any Encumbrance penalty to your movement still applies, but you do not suffer from any sort of exhaustion.
  • Damage from a collision depends on your speed at the time, as well as what you hit. GM's discretion, but generally moving faster than a car on the freeway and hitting a dense, solid object like a wall or a tree should be lethal. Mundane armor will not apply, but any supernatural forms of protection will.
