Your target assumes an identity of your invention. This is a facade, but the subject acts, feels, and thinks according to this identity, at least as far as any but the deepest mind probes can determine. It has a fake personality, motivations, loyalties, and memories. This creates the perfect deep cover agent. The target's own personality remains in the background, dormant, but can suspend or reactivate Assume Identity as a Basic Action.

Folk Form

Limit Break

You assume the form of another creature decided when you gain the power. You must have created a variant form for yourself using your normal points and limits. If you do not have such a creature description ready, you cannot use this power. This creature cannot have higher value in any particular skill than you do. You can add powers of the same form the creature has and keep schticks and powers you already have, but you cannot otherwise add powers or schticks. This power cannot be used to imitate a specific individual; you remain yourself in mannerisms and detail while changing race, species, and creature type.

You remain in this form for a scene or until you fall asleep or unconscious or will yourself back to your normal form (a Basic Action). You can learn this power several times to learn to transform into several different creatures.

You can only assume the form of Folk this power.

Folk Guise

Basic Action

You assume the form of any Race of Folk selected when you use the power. You keep your own skills but suffer the attributes maximums of the selected Folk and one race schtick of your choice. You lose any powers based on Race or physical form. This is not a disguise, you can still be recognized, but if you further disguise yourself any issues based on your physical form are overcome.

Steal Voice

Finisher

You control your victim's ability to speak. You can change his voice, making it soft, croaking, roaring or whatever you like. You can make the target dumb, or prevent him from saying certain words or to talk about certain things. When applicable, this prevents the target from using the Charm and Impress skills at a value higher than his Mind. This is a mental effect, so telepathic communication if affected too.

You can mimic the target's voice and speech mannerisms. Any attempt you make to imitate the target is Routine, as long as your appearance makes it possible at all.

This is a Curse.
