===<u>'''Awakened Power Set'''</u>===
An encounter with the priests of Set took you from the world before your time in a dark ritual of death and unmaking . . . then the ritual brought you back. You awoke from your own death forever changed, a hollowed out vessel filled with unnatural life. You have moved beyond fatigue or any need for sleep and cannot be forced into magical slumber or physically rendered unconscious, though you can be physically taken out if sufficiently broken, mauled, or sundered. The ritual that unmade and remade you renders you utterly immune to toxins and poisons.

===<u>'''Bloodless Power Set'''</u>===
An encounter with vampires left you half in and half out of their world. As one of the Bloodless you are not burdened by a need to breathe, and cannot be killed by any means that rely on lack of oxygen to bring about death.

:'''Vampric Mind:''' There is just something about the Bloodless' presence, the way they move, the intensity of their gaze, the cadence of their speech. You have inherited this ability to reach beyond the conscious mind and tap into the subconscious, influencing and even overwhelming the thoughts of the one you focus on, leading them to do your bidding.

:In similar fashion, the Bloodless, who has no natural reflection, can use this power to fade from sight. When they do this they are effectively invisible to anyone looking at them, but their reflection becomes visible in all nearby reflective surfaces in response. Something that trained hunters might know about and use, but most mortals do not.

===<u>'''Changeling Power Set'''</u>===
An encounter with a specific species of lycanthrope left you infected or cursed to share their form and appetites. In animal form, you enjoy the senses, reflexes, stamina, and movement mode of your beast as well as its attack forms. You understand your animal's "language" such as it is including posture, body language and social mannerisms.

===<u>'''Exiled Power Set'''</u>===
An encounter with a disposessed angelic being that was cast out of the Light has branded you, its damned soul seared to your flesh in a desperate attempt to survive its exile. It has claimed you as a soldier in its fight. <<Free Will?>> a cold voice whispers in your mind. <<Yeah you have that. You can cast me out any time you like. You just don't get to survive the event>> As one of the Exiled you are always aware of supernatural entities and artifacts near you (within 50') and are able to identify their type. This ability is not hindered by invisibility, intangibility, or altered form.

===<u>'''Forgotten Power Set'''</u>===
An encounter with the avatar of some long forgotten demigod left you with a choice: Host its ancient spirit, or let it fade utterly from existence. For whatever reason, you chose to invite it in, but in many ways the spirit is as lost to itself as it is to time and memory, and its former power, while still puissant, is chaotic and dangerous.

===<u>'''Mystic Power Set'''</u>===
An encounter with elemental forces opened you to worlds beyond the mortal realm, enabling you to call forth powers from one realm to another. As a Mystic you are able to unerringly feel where realms overlap if you are close enough and are able to identify the realm in question at the point where two realms touch. You are also able to do small conjurings (old school cantrips) within the normal stricture of your powers without rolling, provided the effect is local, temporary, and does not directly affect an unwilling target.

An encounter with the entropy that drags against all forces of the universe has infused the core of your being with something . . . other. You have supernatural power, but what dwells within you is the antithesis of Echo. Nulls are utterly immune to the curse, infection, or mark of all supernatural beings. What's more, supernatural beings able to sense other supernaturals can only read Nulls as regular mortals, not as the anti-echo beings they really are.

The form lasts only a single turn after the copied being withdraws or is removed from the Null's line of sight, whereupon the Null must adopt a new form or resume their natural appearance.

===<u>'''Unfettered Power Set'''</u>===
An encounter with redacted from . . . without . . . has left you seriously disconnected from what most folk consider reality, to the point that your mind reverberates with a near constant sense of cognative dissonance. But oh the things your mind can see now that it is free of the chains that bind the rest of creation. The veil has parted and will never properly close again for you. Not now that you have seen the machine . . .

:: [[File:D0Ba.png|12px]] Psychic Blast: You can temporarily open the eyes of another being to the madness that churns behind reality, forcing them to confront everything they thought they knew about their existence, causing psychic or spiritual stress (player's choice). The Exiled cannot take spiritual stress from this, given their own unique understanding of that machinery, but they can still take psychic stress from the sheer volume of the assault.

:: [[File:D0Ba.png|12px]] Precognition: By studying the subtle workings of the unseen machine, the Unfettered can gain insight to what is coming in the next few moments, allowing them to anticipate the flow of reality around them. Focus on an individual and their relation to the Machine to make a single prediction about the immediate future as relates to them, stepping the effect die on their next action up or down (player's choice) by one.

:'''Wild Teleport:'''  The machine is vast, possibly infinite, but it is not perfect. Something works on it to effect repairs. The Unfettered speculate, telling scary-time stories and postulating theories that could make a tinfoil hat blush, but what they have discovered is how the unseen mechanics get around the machine. Unfortunately, the Fixers are apparently gargantuan, so the Unfettered are limited in their use of the transport device, but to that extent they ''can'' use it. On this side of the veil, the Unfettered appears to teleport short distances (anywhere within their line of sight). If no other actions are taken, the Unfettered may do so up to three times in a turn (on a single roll).

:'''Patterns of Paradox:''' The Unfettered have the potential to make intuitive leaps that defy reason. By studying the Machine, the Unfettered can get a glimpse of a specific aspect of the near future. By concentrating on an action they intend to execute within 30 minutes, they will see possible futures that indicate whether the chosen action will have good, ill, mixed, or neutral results.
 
  
:Only one such divination can be active at a time, either by taking the questioned action or by allowimg 30 minutes to elapse without taking action.

:'''Written on the Subway Walls:''' The Unfettered have the potential for prophecy. If you focus on an individual and their relation to the Machine it is possible to make a single prediction about the immediate future as relates to them, stepping the effect die on their next action up or down (player's choice) by one.

Despite countless encounters with the supernatural, you have remained stubbornly untouched and relentlessly human. You are not immune to the supernatural. You are not protected. But you have a certain skill set, unparalelled training, and more than a little bit of luck.
