Holographic Manipulation: Self (minor) by Zenvis

This is the ability to change your physical appearance, but does not in any way affect your weight. But instead creates a hologram of sorts similar to the one used in Holographic Memory. It has more talent and emphasis than Holographic Memory.

1. “Perfect” disguise: This talent allows the character to, through their talent disguise their appearance.

  • Adds +20% to disguise skill
  • If character does not have disguise then it acts as a disguise at first level with no bonus.

2. Copy image: This talent allows for the character to make a duplicate of images, both 2D and 3D and create a hologram about themselves.

  • Can exactly copy the image of another person – 80% +2 per level of experience for 3D images and 60% +2 per level on 2D images.
  • To copy the image of a person from a photograph the character concentrates for 20 minutes. For each level after the concentration takes less and less concentration to make a copy (–2 minutes per level of experience).
  • To copy the image of someone in person, or other 3 dimensional methods, it takes 10 melee rounds. For each level after the concentration takes less and less concentration for each copy (–1 melee per level of experience).
  • If at any time the number of minutes or rounds is zero or less, change is considered to be 1 melee round.

3. Recall image: The super being can recall images that they have duplicated weather or not they were successful in the first place. What that means is that the character can recall what they did not what they necessarily wanted to create unless they were successful in the first place.

  • Any image used by the character within the last week can be brought to memory and reused. The power is similar to Total Recall only this is at a percentage (40%+5%). For each week afterwards the skill looses 10%. (Remember it must be a hand held item or cover their body.)
  • If the character has the Psionic ability Total Recall, this can be used in conjunction with this power to bring up any image ever used.
  • Time to change into a Recalled image is 1 melee round.

4. Blur image: The character is able to distort his image so as to prevent recognition. If the character has the Disguise skill they can change into any image wanted. Height can be adjusted up to 10% up or down.

  • If height is increased, character seems to be skinnier than normal. The changes are an illusion and the extras are covered by the distortion of the hard 3D illusion.
  • If Height is decreased, character seems to be pudgier than normal. The changes are an illusion and the extras are covered by the distortion of the hard 3D illusion.

5. The downside:

  • Weather disrupts the illusion of the whole power (snow will not stack on their image, wind does not move their clothes, they do not appear wet, etc.).
  • They cannot do as Holographic Memory can by creating an outward image.
  • They cannot get the power Holographic Memory.
