Reality Bender

The door slams shut behind the well-dressed Mx. Feiris. “You’ve gotta work with me here, Chuck,” they demand of a flushed man sitting across the room. “I’m not exactly brimming with patience right now. I’ve got two U.I.U. agents breathing down my neck and an angry Spectre thug with a price on my kneecaps, so I’m gonna cut right to the chase. You’re going to tell me who’s leaking Anartist names. That’s not a request -- you WILL tell me. Have you ever heard of a type green, chuck?”

The man opens his mouth to speak, but decides against it. Furrowing his brow for a moment, he starts again “Reality bender? Big whoop. This building is protected by reality anchors. You’ve got nothing.”

Mx. Feiris smiles. “Sure, the Academy’s research building is reality anchored. But, Chuck,” they continue, “I have a question for you, how did you get here?”

The man’s face falls as he scours his memory. Confusion twists into fear as he fails to recall.

“You’re not in the Academy, Chuck.”

The walls begin to warp and contort. The pristine white of the Anomalous Research Institute disappears, replaced by the dingy basement walls of a Portlands makerspace.

“Now talk.”

Reality Benders, also known as Type Greens by the G.O.C., possess an innate ability to warp the world and minds around them. They are expert manipulators and can wield immense power. With the capability of influencing people's whims and bending the world around them to their needs, beality benders make excellent spies, special agents, and salespeople. Play a reality bender if you want to make people question everything.

Proficiencies

Select two of the following proficiencies

Physical Manipulation

    Reality is just a construct. As a result, it's pretty easy to make tweaks here and there when you need it. You understand how to make objects lighter or heavier, change gravity around you, and warp the physical appearance of objects in your vicinity.

Deception and Social Manipulation

    What's the fun of being able to manipulate reality if you can't use it for a little personal gain? After all, you can't really call something a lie if you make it real. At least not until the effect wears off.

Anomalous Resistance

    You're attuned to the nature of the reality you walk through, and can sense the effects of memetics, thaumic energy, and other anomalous aberrations in reality.

Spotting Unreality

    You know what's worse than one reality bender? Two. You really don't want to see what happens when you get a bunch of them together. You're pretty good at spotting when reality is being messed with.

Impersonation and Transformation

    It's honestly pretty easy to fool people when you can just manipulate reality until you look like a cat, or sound like their girlfriend. You've honed your skills to become a chameleon, in every sense of the word.

Reading People

    Reality isn't just the physical world. People's brains exist in that space too... and so do their thoughts and feelings. You are fantastic at intuiting people's feelings and motivations. What you do with that information is anyone's guess.
