Ajax - Mother Nature's Son Born a poor young, country boy~

1
You possess an augmented or inhuman body.
Used by Ajax Geopoulos, Created by panda.
(Your specific augmentation must be physically visible in some way, but it does not need to make you appear outwardly monstrous or socially unacceptable. )

Majestic, divine horns crown Ajax's head and verdant foliage decorate his tines. Regalia befitting a true son of Mother Nature. His right arm is made out of a primeval plants, vines and branches brimming with vitality. Golden sap courses through his veins - an unearthly lifeblood infused with faith and divinity, it pulses with a faint golden light and shimmers softly.

Now able to alter his form with more freedom, Ajax has infused it with enough divine energy to control his size with ease. He has also condensed his energy within his organs and strengthened his claim over them, they will now respond to him even when detached entirely.

Ajax's base height is now 10 feet tall.

Alice, while in the lab, realized she was the weakest link to finding a cure.

This is the final manifestation of the foolish augmentation she did to herself in that lab.

Days later, after the fighting ended, was when the headaches started. Trapped in bed, sweating, a fever dream. But mostly the fear. The fear her mind was going.

When it passed, Alice could feel the clarity of her thoughts. Whatever the scientists had done to her had been mere building blocks for this. Her mind was glorious.

And she remembered that her mind should have gone. Her mistake, in retrospect, was obvious. It a moment it jumped out at her. The transcription error should have killed her, or worse. But instead, she was still alive. She couldn't see why. Perhaps it was related to the abnormality in her genome and the sun. Or maybe a nudge from a greater power. In any case, she was sure that if she tried to reproduce the effect on someone else she'd turn their mind into tapioca.

But for now... her thoughts were instant, her memory perfect. She'd taken to writing a program to flash documents on her monitor as fast as it could, and with just that moment, she could know it, and index it while she slept.
