Class Abilities

Behold!

Reveal and activate an elaborate, single-use contraption from a Pitched hidden location, no matter how implausible.

Essence Cost: Mid
Max Duration: Low
Cooldown: Low–High

Paired Action: Gleefully introduce the contraption and explain it at length; activate it only after you finish doing so.

The contraption’s nature and capacities are also Pitched and must be thematically appropriate to the user.
- The contraption’s actual Impact, once activated, scales Low–High on the size of the user’s audience. (e.g. A giant robot revealed to a large crowd could operate as intended with High Impact but would break or go awry if revealed to just a handful of people, yielding only Low Impact.)
- After being used, the contraption will break, run out of power, or otherwise be rendered defunct. Duration scales as appropriate to the contraption's intended function.

Do the Thing!

Order an underling to perform a simple physical task for you with untroubled compliance.

Essence Cost: Low
Max Duration: Low
Cooldown: Mid

Paired Action: Issue a command in a smug or imperious fashion.

Impact scales Low–High on how unimportant the target is (Mid at maximum when targeting an enemy).
Compliance ends as soon as the task is performed.
You may Pitch how the attempt to complete the task goes completely wrong for your character while the target remains unscathed; if you do so, this Ability’s Cost and Cooldown are negated.

Your Only Weakness!

Pitch a physical weakness or character flaw in an enemy and pontificate about it at length, compelling the target to pay attention and not interrupt your monologuing.

Essence Cost: Mid
Cooldown: Mid

Paired Action: Gloatingly explain for a Low Duration how you learned of and plan to exploit the Pitched weakness.

If the Pitched weakness would logically apply to multiple present enemies, all of them may be affected by the compulsion, though doing so increases this Ability’s Cooldown to High.
If the Paired Action is interrupted, this Ability’s Impact is reduced to Low (normally Mid).

Signature Gear

Universal Adapter

Small implant embedded in a finger.

The owner may interface with technology or comparable objects through prolonged contact.
- Up to a Mid Duration, scaling on how complex and tamper-proof the target is.

Thrusters

Miniature single-use rockets, powerful enough to carry a person’s weight.

Quantity: 5x
Speed: High
Flight Duration: Low

Affixable to any solid object.
Whenever used, Pitch a Low Impact malfunction.
Explode upon collision, causing Mid Damage.

Gantry

Set of oversized mechanical arms ending in large grippers, sourced from a heavy backpack; much stronger and tougher but less agile and dextrous than regular limbs.

Lightness Boost: Mid

Pitch a tool to replace one or both grippers (1x Use).
- The owner may freely swap between the two for the rest of the mission.

Decoys

Semi-convincing blow-up body doubles of the owner, deployed in seconds from wallet-sized packets. Break down at even minor resistance.

Quantity: 5x

Deployed decoys can be assigned simple tasks. (e.g. Walking, sweeping the floor, taking a phone call, etc.)
- Completely inactive until tasked.

Powersuit

Full-body suit of mechanized armor with an obvious weak spot. Stored in a compact briefcase, deployed to encase the user over several seconds and retracted at will.

Battery Life: High
Protection: High
Encumbrance: Low

Pitch a physical Mid Boost for this suit to convey its owner (strength, jumping distance, etc.) as well as a thematically related Mid Impact malfunction incurred in the process, both of which reset when the suit is retracted.
If damage is sustained to this suit’s weak spot, Pitch a High Impact malfunction (which does not reset).

Attenuator

High-tech gauntlet, which may fire a continuous beam.

Uses: 3x
Range: Low

Any target struck by this beam is frozen in space while it is held on them, during which time they are immune to harm (Low Max Duration).
- Beings who fiercely struggle may break free early (even within seconds), though this is rendered less likely if the owner harangues them while they are frozen.

Appearance

6 ft tall, slim build, bald due to transparent synthetic skull dome.

Powersuit: the nanite swarm within his head spills out to manipulate the armor pieces, glass orb power core in chest weak point.

Background

Serik Surge

near future setting

A brilliant and ambitious scientist obsessed with self-augmentation, Serik dedicated himself to pushing the limits of human potential. He secured funding with the promise of developing the first bioelectronic computer capable of growing within and seamlessly interfacing with the human brain.

Driven by his vision and willing to take extreme risks, Serik convinced his colleagues to allow him to test a prototype on himself. To gain a unique perspective on the experiment, he replaced the top of his skull with a transparent synthetic bone, enabling direct observation of the brain and its interaction with the implanted computer.

However, a rival colleague, seeking to undermine him, secretly tampered with the bio-printer’s settings during the creation of the prototype. Despite the sabotage, the altered prototype not only functioned but vastly exceeded expectations, boosting Serik's intellect to unprecedented levels.

Eager to reproduce the results, Serik initiated further experiments, but every attempt failed. Without knowing the tampered parameters of the original prototype, he found himself unable to reverse-engineer the conditions of his accidental success. He burned through his funding, desperate to prove it wasn’t a fluke.

He eventually resorted to crime to in an attempt to keep his company afloat and enable him to continue his work. Following a brilliantly executed heist, he was approached by the Enclave with a lucrative opportunity.
