Organic Circuitry [minor] by Iczer

‘Yeah..but can your X-Gamestation do THIS?’

The character can produce organic circuitry inside his own body, and use himself as a processor, or enhance other electrical items.

Internal use: The character’s body can be used as a storage medium. By placing his hand on a communications port of another storage medium, he may copy files into his own body. He has a storage capacity equal to the sum of his mental attributes in Gigabytes, plus 5 per level.

Implant: The character can expel this organic web of circuitry, which winds it’s way into an electronic device and takes root. The electronic device gains the following traits:

  • The device experiences a 10% increase in capability, +2% per level.
  • The device needs 10% less power, it draws it from it’s own metabolic
  • If the device is a computer of any sort, its memory increases by the amount stated in Internal use. It’s processing speed increases by 50%.
  • The device gains a kind of healing ability, and becomes self maintaining. Essentially healing 1 SDC per day (only heals the delicate internals, not any hard outer shell). In the case of computers, computer viruses are automatically detected and removed, and optimization occurs on a regular basis.

Drawbacks: Electronic items enhanced through this power require about 30 seconds of contact a week by this character, or else the organic circuitry begins to die (leaving rotting flesh inside the device). While not a debilitating limitation, it does hamper the ability to market this power.
