Echo: Eternal

One of the blessed of Ancient Egypt has granted you eternal life, calling on the power of Osiris, Horus, or another of the ancient gods of Egypt. Part mystic ritual, part alchemical process, the elixir of life must be administered at the right time, in the right way, using components that rea nearly impossible to find in the modern world. A successful use of the elixir means death is no longer an ending, but simply an obstacle to be overcome. The constant influx of life energy has moved you beyond fatigue or the (physical) need for sleep, and you cannot be forced into slumber or rendered unconscious against your will. However, you can be physically taken out if sufficient damage is done to your corporeal form. The ritual that made you renders you immune to disease, toxins, and poisons, save for specific magical compounds created to target the elixir of life than runs through your veins.

Hinder: Sometimes your distinction works against you. Gain 1 plot point when you roll a

SFX - Years of Experience: Spend 1 PP to reroll a single die in a pool, taking the better result.

Wildcard: Thinking Outside The Box

Hinder: Sometimes your distinction works against you. Gain 1 plot point when you roll a

SFX - Messy Solutions: Step up an Attribute or Role. If the roll succeeds, introduce a d8 complication based on the compromise the character made to turn things in their favor. If the roll fails, automatically use Hinder with Thinking Outside The Box for the character's next roll, as the character tries to figure out what went wrong.

Power Set: Eternal

Life Endures The elixir of life runs through both your corporal and spiritual forms, binding them together and restoring the Eternal despite hardships. You regenerate physical damage quickly, and physical trauma affects your ability to act solely based on how much of your body is affected. A bullet through the heart is an annoyance, but an axe cleaving you in twain or fire enveloping your body is much more serious. Even death is only a temporary inconvenience, though it can become complicated as the soul must enter the Neverwhen. The usual roll to return involves the Willpower attribute and the Fixer role in conjunction with the Eternal Distinction and this power. When the Eternal returns to life, step down the Mortal stress track. If the Eternal gets a heroic success or delays returning to life until the next scene, clear the Mortal stress track entirely.

Might of the Eternal The power of the elixir of life enhances the Eternal's capabilities, making him supernatural strong on both a physical and spiritual level. Physically, the Eternal exceeds mortal bounds of strength and is capable of impressive feats. Spiritually, the character is nearly incorruptible, and can block an opponent's passage through sheer force of will to the point where the opponent can damage themselves when failing to overcome the Eternal. This effect (which Grey calls "You shall not pass!") utilizes the Willpower attribute and the Influencer role in conjunction with the Eternal Distinction and this power.

Ritual Magic Eternals do not summon magic on a moment's notice like mystics. Instead, they utilize rituals and foci for effects that are slower and more subtle...but no less powerful. This is typically used to create Assets for later use that exceed the normal limits of what an Asset can do. Ritual Magic can be used in a combat situation only if the character prepared a ritual in advance. For example, a mystical amulet could be prepared for an ally that would block the first stress they take from a mystical source. The gamemaster can require specific components for any ritual, which require the character to acquire them before the ritual can be performed.

SFX: Spend a pp to perform a single power in a high stakes action without needing to roll the dice.

Limit [Death]: Shut down the Life Eternal power to clear a stress track of your choice when you successfully use the Life Eternal power. If Mortal stress goes over d12 while shut down, Life Eternal is immediately restored, or prior to that, activate an opportunity to restore the power.
Limit [Doubt]: Shutdown any Eternal power to gain a PP. Activate an opportunity or die to restore the power.
Limit: [Judgement] When you betray a sworn oath in the name of the god granting you eternal life, your next death sends your spirit to the Neverwhen to be judged by Osiris. This judgement can result in permanent death.
