Legacy Power: Binary Projector
The power over visual light through code
A 2 Gift Illusion Power used by Alex "L0B0" Phreaker, created by Merfian.
Description
Binary Projector is an ability that has imbued his goggles with supernatural power, allowing him to use the readout on them to turn electronic devices into Illusory projectors through code and assets. Once used on an electronic device he has access to, he can manifest a hard light hologram to fool people. If he wishes, he can even use it as a temporary disguise
System
Exert your Mind, spend an Action, and make a Intellect + Technology Difficulty 6. The Difficulty depends on the complexity of the intended illusion and is at the GM's discretion. Success allows you to generate a visual illusion that is No larger than a person and is attached to either a target or a Location. The illusion will remain in place for 1 Minute.
This illusion may have moving parts, but they will stick to a fixed, predetermined, simple motion unless you maintain concentration in order to "puppeteer" them. If it is attached to a target, it will follow them when they move, but otherwise cannot move to a new location on it's own. Making them engage in complex, spontaneous interaction with the real world may require additional rolls.
Upon observing an active illusion, a person can make a Mind roll, difficulty 7. If their Outcome is greater than the Outcome on your initial roll, they realize they are viewing an illusion, though it will still be visible to them for the duration. If they investigate the illusion and notice it is non-corporeal or otherwise behaves in a bizarre manner, they conclude it is an illusion without a roll.
An illusion can show any image that fits the size restriction, but it cannot create a direct replica of an existing living being, and it may only affect a person's sense of sight, not hearing, smell, taste, touch, or other senses.
Illusions cannot be used as attacks. For example, you cannot create an illusion of the sun to blind people.
Enhancements
-
Concealed
(Using this Effect is not obvious. Choose a Tell that occurs only when you use the Effect; if-- and only if-- someone suspects that a Effect was used, they must roll Perception + Alertness, Difficulty 8 to pick up on your Tell.)
-
Tell - Tapping in Binary
-
- Portable (Your illusion may be "attached" to a person or object, and it will be fixed to them or it, rather than to the initial location the illusion was cast. If the person it is attached to sees through your illusion, they may dispel it at will.)
- Sounds Like A Duck, Smells Like A Duck (Your illusion may now project sounds and smells.)
- Replicate (Your illusion may be a copy of a specific being or Object. The illusion is still created from your mind, and so you cannot learn anything new about the subject and the representation is limited by your familiarity.)
- Quick (Activating this Effect only takes 1 Action.)
- Reach Out And Touch Me (Your illusion now feels real to the touch and has a taste. It can still be broken if it would Injure a target, or if subjected to enough force to break a window.)
Drawbacks
- Exhausting (After you finish activating this Effect, you cannot move quicker than a walk (max 15 feet per Round) for one minute and suffer a -1 dice penalty for an hour. Exhaustion’s penalty and duration stacks with multiple activations.)
-
Mage
(Activating this Effect requires two consecutive Actions of Concentration. It involves intricate use of the body and voice. If interrupted during activation, the Effect fails. It is obvious you are preparing to activate an Effect during casting.)
- Activation Ritual - Must write special XML code defining the illusion on a coding device
-
Focus
(Using this Effect requires a specific kind of item.)
- Object - Technological Item
-
Conditional
(This Effect is only available when a certain condition is met. This condition must be severe enough that this Gift is unusable the majority of the time.)
- Condition - Requires Digital Picture and Audio Files of Illusion Depiction
-
Unique Focus
(This Power takes the form of a specific, unique item, which can be borrowed, lost, or stolen. You must use / wear this item as intended to use this Power.)
- Focus - LED Goggles
- Fragile Illusion (Touching or attacking your Illusion destroys it.)
-
Fuel
(Using this Effect consumes some material good in addition to its other costs.)
- Fuel Unit - Electricity
