Legacy Power: Theatrical Acrobatics

Beneath the mask, a newfound confidence crystalizes.

A 2 Gift Mythic Dexterity Power used by Sasaki Nobutoshi, created by TheSuperChrisb.

Description

Sasaki Nobutoshi has always been quick as a whip as well as a masterful dancer. Through the games though, his skill has improved exponentially. He has begun to develop a supernatural level of dexterity far beyond what he was capable of in the past. His hands have become incredibly steady and quick with the woodcarving blade as he has begun to carve thousands of masks for the lives lost in Nagasaki. The hands that have held so many of his carefully crafted masks, bringing love and care into each stroke, have become a source of power, filling him with a quick confidence that has spread through the rest of his acrobatic body.

His trepidation with showing his face, though, as become worse as a result of this newfound power. He relies on the confidence that his masks give him and has begun to count on their presence in order to focus and feel complete... so much so that he has become one with his favored Hyottoko Mask.

The unsettling mask, pink cheeks and lips askew has completely fused to his skin without a seam between flesh and wood. This mutation has removed the disfiguring burn scar through his lip and nose... but unfortunately permanent harlequin ichthyosis is not much prettier.

System

Passive, always in effect. Your Dexterity rating is increased by 1. You may Exert your Mind to automatically gain an Outcome of 5 on any roll that uses Dexterity (cannot be used on combat rolls or Power activations.)

A given Contractor may have a maximum of one Mythic Attribute. This Power can only be taken by Contractors who have purchased the fifth level of Dexterity.


Enhancements

  • Bullet Time (Exert your Mind and spend an Action or Reaction to make a single dodge roll that applies its full Outcome to any attacks made against you that Round. Mob bonuses do not apply on attacks against you this Round.)
  • Centered (You have perfect balance. You cannot be knocked over, and can maintain your footing regardless of the size or stability of the material underneath you.)
  • Track Star (You may always move at your full Dash speed without any penalty.)

Drawbacks

  • Samson (A marking or physical trait is the source of your power. Losing it removes all benefits for the next 2 months. If someone witnesses you using this Effect, they get a Perception check to determine the source of your power.)
    • Source of your Power - His Hands.
  • 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 - Must be wearing one of his hand-crafted masks.
  • Monstrous (Possessing this Power causes a mutation that elicits a strong, negative social response from the average person in your setting. The mutation is visible even if you are wearing long sleeves, pants, and shoes. Maximum one per Contractor.)
