Origin-
Cryptid

Powers-

Flight (-0 CP)- You are capable of moving through the sky as fast as you
could run on the ground. If you take this, you can choose to have wings for free.

Screamer (-0 CP)
You can emit incredibly unnerving, inhuman shrieks that
can be heard for miles around. Not only are they incredibly terrifying to hear, but
they can cause hearing damage if they’re heard up close.

Spook (-0 CP)
You’re incredibly terrifying; just a glance at you is enough to
trigger a sensation of primal fear in most creatures. In addition, you can do minor
atmospheric things to the environment around you, such as making the pipes in the
walls groan as you pass, or making a light fog roll in.

Enhanced Senses (-100 CP)
Your senses are greatly enhanced; you can see
in the dark, hear heartbeats from across a field, and track someone by smell
through a forest, and your senses can easily adjust to sudden changes.

Mark (-100 CP)
You can place “marks” on others with a touch, allowing you to
unerringly keep track of them; they’re not visible to the naked eye, and can
potentially be taken off through supernatural means. You can choose what they
look like, and if you’d prefer to make them visible to those marked with them, or
others, you can choose to do so.

Parasite (-100)
You can drain/consume something from your victims such
as blood, life energy, or something else to heal your own wounds, restore your
energy and as a substitute for regular sustenance. The more you eat, the greater
the effect.

Skinwalker (-100)
You can take on the form of those you kill, stealing
their appearance; this doesn’t give you any of their powers, or even their physical
strengths or durability, but the copy is perfect appearance wise. Exceptionally large
forms cannot be stolen.

Mutate (-200)
You have some sort of method that physically changes living
beings, letting you shape their bodies to your will. This can be used to change the
appearances of others, including giving them monstrous traits, and can potentially
be used offensively by giving them negative physical traits. The more extreme the
changes, the longer it will take for them to happen, and they must be somewhat
within reason.

Rotter (-200)
You have an aura around you that spreads and speeds up rot
and degradation. Plant life withers and dies when you get near it, water becomes
foul and polluted, metal corrodes and rusts, and even flesh begins to weaken and
slowly die when you’re near it. Actually touching someone would quickly cause their
flesh to rot and fall of the bone if they don’t have significant durability or otherwise
have protections against rot.

Stranger (-200)
You can prevent others from perceiving you, becoming
undetectable to normal senses- including touch- at will. While this doesn’t work on
mechanical means of detection, such as video cameras, you’ll be undetectable to
anyone without enhanced sensory abilities. Walk without making footsteps, stand
right in front of a crowd without them seeing you, make no sound, even punch
people, leaving them only the sensation of the injury and not the contact of a fist.
This extends to anything you’re wearing or holding, as well as things like your
shadow or reflection.



Companions-
Smiledog (-50)- A dog with a disturbingly human
face and a large smile, it’s capable of tracking its prey for miles and is strong
enough to be on equal footing with a bear.

Smiling Murderer (-100)- A grinning murderer
wielding a butcher’s knife, rumored to have committed many murders throughout
history.They stalk their prey unerringly before slicing into them with inhuman
strength. Their favorite targets are those who have learned about them, though for
you they’re willing to stay their hand. Has some method of knowing things about
people, which they use to select their targets.

Slender Man (-150)- The Slender Man is a tall, white
faced being of unknown origin. They are capable of projecting black tentacles from
their body, teleportation, distorting video recordings and preventing others from
seeing him. They know when others know about their existence, and usually stalk
those who do; their greatest powers are over the mind, however, as they are
capable of controlling or brainwashing the minds of others. They also have
superhuman strength.



Drawback-
Monster (+0)
-Your inhuman nature is apparent at
all times, even if you have ways of hiding it. Your best disguises, including
shapeshifting, might be able to fool a person for a couple of hours; but the longer
they look at you and speak with you, the more they’ll realize that you’re something
unnatural. Animals, and certain people, might just pick up on this right away
despite your best attempts, and animals will desperately try and run away from you
whenever you’re near them. Thankfully, this doesn’t apply to companions or any
pets that you have.

The Jumper Stabbings (+100 CP)- Somehow, a large group of people
have learned about your otherworldly nature. Fortunately, this has yet to catch on
in any real capacity. No, instead these people have started to try and catch your
attention in the hopes that you will take them with you on your journey. Most
commonly, perhaps due to the nature of this world, the prevailing theory is that
this is to be done through a variety of macabre acts. If you aren’t a Cryptid, you
can expect anything from a bad reputation to being stalked by hordes of obsessed
fans, while Cryptids will have to deal with increased attention, both from their fans
and possibly from the media.


Men in Black (+200 CP)- You’re on the watch lists for pretty much every
government in the world; needless to say, things are going to be very difficult for
you, and you’ll have to tread lightly. If you’re a Cryptid, the government is actively
hunting you, with surprising skill and ingenuity.
