Ingestive Immortality

Ingestive Immortality (Major) by Stone Gargoyle

"Don't eat that- You don't know where it's been."

The superbeing is capable, upon death, of altering his physical structure, crumbling into edible debris(player's option as to what kind, i.e. cheese, bread, whatever...) and reform himself from the creatures that eat him.

1. Alter Physical Structure: Food: Upon death, the character's body appears to petrify, crack and crumble into nutritious debris for creatures, usually rats and pigeons, to eat. The SDC of the debris is equal to that of his body at full SDC when human.

2. Reformation: The character uses the life force of the creatures who eat him to regain life in a form of bio-vampirism. In the case of animals, they are immediately corrupted. They will swarm and gather in a ten foot area, biting and ripping each other apart as their bodies fuse and their DNA is rewritten to that of the character. They continue to merge until all the pieces are reabsorbed.

Limitations: If an animal is pregnant, rather than swarm, the pregnant animal will pass on any of the character's other powers to its offspring, creating a mutant. If the "food" is eaten by a sentient being (human or alien), the victim may save vs. mind control (15 or better, ME bonuses apply) to keep from swarming. If saving, he must then make a second save vs. disease (15 or better, PE bonuses apply) or else gain the other powers of the character(cannot gain this power, however). If failing the save vs. mind control, the victim swarms and is absorbed by the superbeing the same as a lesser animal would be. The superbeing only gains SDC equal to that of his original body.

Note: Even if all SDC is not regained, as long as 2/3rds of the SDC is present the character can function as a complete being, though probably a bit smaller.

3. Other Abilities and Bonuses:

Always knows where and in whom a missing SDC/DNA part resides

Heals 5 times normal rate

Can regain SDC from animal bites with this power as well.
