As your character improves you can improve upon these powers allowing
for example
the retention of gained powers for longer.
Macrophagy
eat parts of other and use them on yourself. The quick version
allows
you to bite or rip parts off others, swallow them (or attach if part
to be used is external) and use
these new parts immediately. The slow version requires
parts to be swallowed and takes several
hours to work (more if part is very large).
Example: Shamash the Titan
has spotted that Adad, a myriad limbed demon, has a rather
large stinging tentacle which Shamash has heard is rather deadly.
Whilst Adad
is eating floating algae Shamash slips out of his favourite dimension for
travel using
his dimension limbs and siezes Adad. Shamash rips Adad apart
before Adad's
herd mates can respond. Shamash who has Quick Macrophagy attaches
Adad's
stinging limb to himself and uses it to fight off the angry herd.
Heads and brains can be attached but there is a danger with that heads
with superior psyches to
your own could leave the new brain in charge. New minds will
normally deteriate in a few days
so you may end up back in charge. Using new brains is slower
than other organs.
Example: Shamash is travelling
in a Black Zone shadow and hears about a local wizard.
Fancying aquiring the ability to cast spells for awhile Shamash seeks him
out.
The wizard is in his lab when Shamash simply smashes through the wall,
grabs
the wizard and bites his head off. Shamash swallows the head
and after a little
internal reorganisation has established the nerve paths to control it.
Shamash
spends a few happy hours blasting off spells. Later Shamash
is sleeping but
the wizards brain has retained its high psyche and starts giving him nightmares.
Shamash wakes up and decides to spit the head and go look for something
else
to do.
Formphagy
eat others and you can assume their form. You can gain
their external
powers such as armour. You will gradually lose the new
abilities depending on how often you
shapechange into other forms.
Cellphagy
eat others, after carefully digesting them you can
distribute their cells
around your body and retain parts of their brain allowing you to use
their internal powers such as
dimensional projectile. As your bodies immune system breaks
down these foreign cells you will
gradually loses these gained abilities.
Genetophagy
after eating others you can add their genetic material to your own.
With this you can gain others natural abilities and forms.
