Endless (Major) by Stone Gargoyle

"If you kill me, I WILL be back to seek revenge."

The superbeing has a type of transference immortality which is accomplished by the creation of a counterpart which assumes the identity after the duration of the Current Host's tolerance.

1. Transference Immortality: The superbeing's mental faculties (IQ, MA and ME) are transferred between Hosts following the death of his original body but can only remain in a given Host for a limited amount of years. Since the Host is created by the superbeing through immaculate conception in an unwitting surrogate mother (though he could enlist a willing subject if desired) at the exact same time as he occupies a Ready and Waiting Host, he always has a new vessel to transfer into. The Immaculate Conception is not like sex, it is like a part of his essence entering another person and forcing their body to create a clone of him. He is recreating himself as close as possible, but the DNA would match the mother. Until the superbeing occupies a new Host, the Ready and Waiting Host shares experience with the Current Host. The superbeing totally controls the Current Host, but a Ready and Waiting Host is a person created for him to transfer into. The superbeing gives his Ready and Waiting Host experience to boost its level before he occupies it but still takes most of the exp. In the case of an Unwilling Host, it is like he is sharing consciousness like Possession, so the superbeing must share exp. with the possessed person equally.

Saving Throw: The surrogate mother can save vs. immaculate conception as a save vs. Magic (14 or better, PE bonus applies). The surrogate is not possessed, just the child she produces. The superbeing can attempt such conception a number of times equal to his ME attribute number, but if he fails to create a Ready and Waiting Host, he can attempt to transfer upon death or the end of his tolerance limit for the Current Host, to an Unwilling Host. The Unwilling Host is able to Save vs. Magic to avoid such possession (12 or better, PE bonus applies), and the hero only gets one shot at it and will die if failing to transfer.

Range: The target surrogate or Unwilling Host must be within 200 feet, plus 20 feet per level, of the superbeing, Line of Sight.

Duration: The superbeing can remain in a Current Host until killed or a maximum limit of 8+2d6 years if transferring to a Ready and Waiting Host, but only a maximum 1d4 years in an Unwilling Host (transfer to an Unwilling Host will initiate the immaculate conception process, however, so all is not lost). Ideally he wants the Host to be old enough to act as an adult, but if the Current Host dies then he has no choice but to take a young body since it the only one available. The occupancy time varies, which is the main drawback of this power. If he assumes a new body too soon, it may not have any powers available to it.

Shared Experience: The Current Host will give 10% of his experience to the Ready and Waiting Host. If occupying an Unwilling Host, 50% of the hero's experience goes to the Host, and since the Unwilling Host will remember everything that happens while acting as the Current Host and be able to sense future Hosts of the superbeing, they may seek retaliation. A Ready and Willing Host is totally vacated after use, leaving the body of the Abandoned Host as a mental vegetable, completely unable to survive on its own. They become a vegetable because the superbeing assumes their identity and merges with their mind, leaving nothing of them behind when he is forced out.

3. Powers and Skills:
Skills: Skills possessed by the superbeing are retained at full performance percentage after the transference regardless of the current level of the Host, but Physical skills and Weapon Proficiencies are not transferred. The Ready and Waiting Host will retain any Physical skills, Weapon Proficiencies and Hand to Hand style possessed prior to the transference when becoming the Current Host. The skills possessed by the superbeing can go beyond 98% (to offset penalties).
The Current Host will possess all the knowledge and memories possessed by the previous Host but talk about them as if belonging to another person, having a very objective perspective. An Abandoned Unwilling Host will retain the knowledge and memories of the superbeing for 1d4 months following the end of his use as the Current Host but will forget everything other than his experiences as the Host within 1d4 months, losing the memories and suffering temporary amnesia for 1d4 months after that. Possession of a Host is like taking their body and using it as your own. In an Unwilling Host, it is like the Possession superability. In a Ready and Waiting Host, it is totally merging with them.
Powers: The Host will gain the superbeing's powers at their own current experience level, usually 2d4 levels lower than the previous Host, but this will depend on the length of time the previous Host was in use and their experience level.
In the case of an Unwilling Host, there is a 30% chance that the experience of being a Host will trigger latent superabilities, appearing 1d4 months following when the superbeing stops using them as a Host. Such powers will begin at level one as per the Mutant category.

3. Limitations: The superbeing cannot transfer into other superbeings and the Unwilling Host must be of the same species as the superbeing and possess no augmentation by way of Bionics, Cybernetics, Eugenics, Cybergenics or Nano-Technology). He can only recreate himself or possess someone like himself, so it must be someone of his species and race.
